On the third morning, his mother went out to join the square dancing and buy some groceries, and shortly after, the cousin also came out.
The cousin hailed a car at the entrance of the residential area and went to a breakfast shop in an alley.
Chen Shu quickly followed.
Chen Shu was a reconnaissance soldier by training; tailing someone was a piece of cake for him, as long as he was determined, the cousin wouldn't notice at all.
The cousin entered the breakfast shop where a man was sitting.
At first, the man was restrained, but upon seeing her, he said, "You finally came, I've missed you to death these past few days."
"I missed you too, but my mother-in-law has been keeping a close watch, so I couldn't get out."
"Did that fool of a man who can't even make a baby go back to the military?"
"He went back."
The man ordered her some xiaolongbao (steamed buns) and a cup of soy milk and while she was eating, he added: "Why don't you leave him and come back to me instead?"
