Getting Removed from Duty

When the first ray of sunlight rose from the eastern horizon in the early morning of the next day, Tang Xiu had already come out of Tang Family residence. Outside the courtyard, however, Ouyang Lulu, who was donned in a black leather outfit, was already waiting for him leaning on as Humvee, as she faintly smiled at Tang Xiu as he came out of the gate.

“If you were a bit later, I’m afraid I’d have to to abduct you! There’s about one and half an hours left to the departure time for the flight route application, you know. I reckon it will be very difficult to get to the airport within this time window, given the nature of traffic jam in the capital,” said Ouyang Lulu with a smile.

Tang Xiu creased his brows, as he turned to look at the soldiers standing guard next to the gate and asked, “How long does it take from the subway here to the airport?”

“It’s about an hour and a half,” answered a soldier standing guard.
