The next day, in the afternoon.
Beijing, near Guang'anmen.
Fang Huai, carrying two boxes of milk and a bag of tea, lingered in front of a gate surrounded by several old five- or six-story buildings and a few detached small buildings.
In a family compound of a military-level unit, there should be at least two People's Armed Police sentries, but here in the capital, only a security room was assigned.

4:26 PM.
4:27 PM.
At exactly 4:30 PM, an hour before mealtime, he looked up and walked in.

The meeting lasted longer than expected.
At 7:30 PM, Vice Bureau Chief Yu, dressed in sportswear, came out of a small building, leading the way with Fang Huai following close behind, half a step away.
