June 10th.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, Tom drove Du Wei to a hotel in downtown Yard City.
Hmm...
He abandoned the idea of warmly welcoming Du Wei, and thus felt very regretful when he left.
In the hotel room.
After taking a bath, Du Wei, wrapped in a bathrobe, sat on the bed and sent a text message to his girlfriend Alex.
Previously, he had instructed Alex not to try to contact him if he didn't message her first. Alex was very reluctant, and it took some convincing before she agreed.
The content of the text message was brief: "Dear, are you asleep?"
After sending it, he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
It was now 3 a.m., and his girlfriend didn't have the habit of staying up late; she was probably already asleep.
But at that moment.
Buzz of vibration...
A text message quickly came back.
Alex: "You asshole, do you think I could sleep?"
Then another message: "Asshole, where are you now? Are you in any danger? When are you coming back? I miss you so much..."
