The 0444th Mountain Loop Turns (Third Watch)_1

Ye Xiong sent the text message, walked to the front desk, and handed his ID to the receptionist. "I'd like a single room, please."

Just then, his phone dinged with a message, "My colleague isn't home; she went back to her hometown."

The hotel receptionist was about to process the booking when Ye Xiong hurriedly said, "Hold on, give me my ID back."

The receptionist, slightly puzzled, handed the ID card back.

Ye Xiong sat on a sofa in the hotel lobby, thought for a moment, and tentatively texted, "Are you scared to be in the room alone?"

"Scared."

Ye Xiong shot up from his seat and headed for the parking garage. He quickly drove out and went straight to Yang Xiaoqiao's place.

It felt like he'd hit a dead end, only for a new path to suddenly appear. Why is tonight so full of twists and turns?
