Chen Shouyi opened his eyes and got up to pace back and forth in the bedroom.
He glanced at the mechanical clock on the wall, noticing it was only two-thirty, far too early for dawn.
He hesitated for a moment, then quickly dressed and grabbed his credentials.
"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back," Chen Shouyi said, turning to the sleeping Shell Lady.
"Oh!" Shell Lady responded groggily, turning over and snuggling back into the blanket, continuing to sleep.
What a coward, doesn't she ever feel hot!
Chen Shouyi grumbled internally, opened the screen window, and leaped out.
The night was as calm as water.
He avoided the patrolling military police on the way and quickly headed for the City Government.
Xiao Changming, as the captain of the military special squad, held the rank of Colonel and was recently even recognized as a combat hero, extensively reported by the newspapers. No matter his prestige or status in Hedong City, he wasn't someone who could be easily touched.
