"Mrs. Lu, did you rush back here in the middle of the night? The sky is still dark!" The young soldier on duty scratched his head. "Colonel Lu also just returned in the morning. Did you rush back just because you heard the news?"
"It wasn't far anyway, so I came back early," Jiang Yao said before walking briskly into the compound.
When she reached a place where there was no one around, she carried her luggage and ran the rest of the way. Other people would have had to walk for quite a while, but she managed to shorten the time by more than half.
She had the key with her, so she entered the house without alerting Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi was very tired. In addition, he was at home. Therefore, he slept so deeply that he did not wake up even when Jiang Yao pushed the bedroom door open and walked into the room.
Jiang Yao did not turn on the lights. She walked to the side of the bed in the dark and leaned in to look at the sleeping man's face.
