Chen Xiaolian rode on the afternoon train back to Jinling (Nanjing).
Before leaving, he had considered leaving some money for Da Gang. However, he recalled how Da Gang had rejected the money he gave the day before… thus, Chen Xiaolian decided against it. Despite his dim-witted appearance, Da Gang was a very assertive person. With his strong level of self-esteem, Chen Xiaolian’s attempt to give him money may end up being seen as an insult toward him.
Instead, Chen Xiaolian gave Da Gang his mobile phone number. He told Da Gang to call him if anything were to happen.
It was already afternoon by the time he reached Jinling. The first thing Chen Xiaolian did was to call up Qiao Qiao.
However, the call was left unanswered.
This caused Chen Xiaolian to feel a slight unease.
He then made a call to Soo Soo; but her phone was turned off.
Qiao Yifeng’s face appeared within Chen Xiaolian’s mind.
