Across the time difference, the news of Meng Chuyan's death traveled from Singapore to M Country, right as Shi Nian was getting off work.
Ye He and Xiao Mai gathered around, the three of them discussing what ingredients to buy at the supermarket for their meal together.
The news arrived unexpectedly, leaving Shi Nian somewhat at a loss even after hanging up the phone.
Ye He and Xiao Mai sensed something was wrong and quietly asked what happened.
Shi Nian grabbed his coat and briefcase and headed out, instructing succinctly, "Ye He, keep it simple tonight, don't fuss. Book the earliest flight to Singapore tomorrow before work ends, two tickets. Xiao Mai, stay at the company, and keep your phone online 24/7. I'm heading out first, don't wait for me for dinner."
