Xiao Mo snapped back to reality, steadied his expression, his eyes a boundless expanse of calm and depth.
"Your mission is now complete," Xiao Mo said, "Go home for the New Year."
"Thank you, Secretary Xiao. Don't work too hard yourself. It's the first day of the new year in five days, remember to go home for the celebrations," the man said.
"Understood."
Xiao Mo hung up the phone, gazing long at the white walls with his profound eyes.
At that moment, it was still dark outside, and Xiao Mo hadn't turned on the lights; the vast room was pitch black, and he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.
Everywhere was extremely quiet, and Xiao Mo could hear his own shallow breathing.
He hadn't expected Xu Chaomu to go to a place she had never been before, Jin City.
He knew she wasn't there for sightseeing; she was prepared to spend her life there.
If that was her mindset, even if he found her, he couldn't bring her back.
