Their exchange was initially lost on Wang Kang, but as the vehicle neared the station and the night outside grew darker, he began to piece things together.
Boom.
Suddenly, lightning tore through the clouds, followed closely by rolling thunder, causing a jolt in his heart.
Large raindrops started to hit the car window, making a loud tapping noise.
"Brother Cheng." Wang Kang's voice was a bit tense.
"Hmm?"
"Should we stay alert tonight?"
"Don't worry." Cheng Ye chuckled, "If it really comes to that, being alert won't help you escape. The Happiness Defense Line isn't that easy to breach, and... it won't come to that."
"Alright."
Wang Kang replied, but despite his words, his tense side profile suggested he wasn't going to sleep well tonight.
Sometimes, knowing too much is a burden.
Knowing too little, is another form of torment.
Back in the room, Cheng Ye locked the security door, turned, and fetched a raincoat from the closet, hanging it on the coat rack by the door.
