All by herself, An Ning went to the police station first, a backpack slung over her shoulders.
By the time she came out, it was almost dark.
'I should head back, or Second Brother will lose his mind.'
After filing a report about the scammer, An Ning boarded a bus and left.
The bus was headed toward Beijing University, as An Ning and An Guoming were temporarily staying at Yu the Elder's home.
Yu the Elder was clearly a man of means. His house in Beijing was sizable—a detached home with a private courtyard, where he lived with only his eldest son, Yu Zheng.
As his future master, An Ning didn't stand on ceremony and refuse the offer to stay.
'He's my own disciple. What's there to be embarrassed about?'
When An Ning got off the bus and started walking toward the small courtyard, she saw An Guoming pacing anxiously at the mouth of the alley.
"Second Brother!"
Her call seemed to break An Guoming's anxious spell.
