Lin Qing paced back and forth in the store, occasionally glancing at the clock on the wall.
It wasn't that she lacked an internal timer, but doing so could slightly alleviate her anxiety.
The sky outside was completely dark, and online there was nothing but news of the Five-Ring Industrial Park lockdown, along with those circulating on-site videos. She repeatedly browsed through all the clips, but did not find any trace of Chen Xuan or Liu Shuyue.
It's already past 8:30, and the store manager still hasn't returned.
Something unexpected must have happened.
Otherwise, they wouldn't fail to call her.
Besides, she knew that Chen Xuan had means to instantly return to the store and could bring the guest along, so it wouldn't be a case of him having to stay on site to look after Liu Shuyue.
The worst-case scenario would be Chen Xuan getting caught by the mechanism.
