Dawn was breaking.
Although it was still a school holiday, Xie Xiaofeng had gotten up early and left his house. He wore a dark-colored hoodie and a baseball cap pulled low over his head. He walked with his hands thrust into his pockets, headphones in his ears, looking cool.
At seven in the morning, he arrived at a fast-food restaurant just outside Wang Chuan's residential complex. He chose a seat by the window where he could eat his breakfast while keeping an eye on the entrance to Wang Chuan's complex.
It wasn't until 7:45 AM that Xie Xiaofeng finally saw Wang Chuan's car leave the complex. He immediately left the fast-food restaurant and took a taxi, following closely behind Wang Chuan's vehicle.
Half an hour later, Xie Xiaofeng followed Wang Chuan's car to the hospital. A few minutes after that, he trailed Wang Chuan to the Department of Gastroenterology.
