Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Lu Hao's mood took a nosedive, but he felt powerless to change the situation.
"You guys can go back and get some rest," Lu Hao instructed.
"Okay."
After ending the call, Lu Hao contemplated for a moment. He suddenly rose, picked up his phone and car keys, and left the study.
After driving out of the military compound, Lu Hao headed straight for Chengyang Road.
At the intersection of the alley, Lu Hao parked the car on the side of the road, stepped out, and ventured into the narrow alley.
This alley was nestled amidst the middle-class residences of Ancheng City, characterized by its narrow lanes and poor sanitation. The people going about their business, as well as the shop owners and employees in the vicinity, dressed unassumingly.
Seeing a tall man in uniform drew curious and surprised looks from the alley's residents.
"Wow, this good man is so handsome."
