The next morning.
At Geng Yuehua's home, Dong Xuebin crawled out of bed just after five. He checked the time, yawned, got dressed, and washed up. He couldn't bear to wake Geng Yuehua, so he pulled the blanket more snugly over her before quietly slipping out of her home. He deliberately avoided people, especially Father Geng, Mother Geng, and Geng Xinke downstairs. They absolutely couldn't see him. That was why he had gotten up so early. Otherwise, after spending all of yesterday rushing around, flying here and there without a break, he definitely would have slept in. But there would be more people around after six or seven, and Dong Xuebin had to consider Yuehua's reputation. So he left early.
It was still dark outside.
There were few people on the streets. The breakfast stalls had only just opened, steaming hot Steamed Buns.
"Boss, give me a steamer of Steamed Buns."
"They're not ready yet. We just set up."
"Oh? How long will it take?"
"Not long. Have a seat. Ten minutes at most."
Dong Xuebin was craving them, so he sat down and waited about ten minutes before finally eating. By then, more empty taxis had begun appearing and picking up fares. Only after wiping his mouth in satisfaction did Dong Xuebin hail a cab straight to Lü'an City.
Seven in the morning.
Inside a residential complex in Lü'an City.
Dong Xuebin got out of the taxi and headed upstairs. This time, he hadn't even notified his mother or Uncle Yang. Naturally, he didn't want them to know. He simply wanted to handle his own affairs properly. There definitely wouldn't be any problem on Geng Yuehua's side. Tonight or tomorrow, he would return to have dinner with several leaders from Fenzhou City and contact the leaders in Beihe Province
