In the vicinity of Connecticut University, Smith stopped his car at the side of the road. He turned to Lou Cheng and said,
"I have to get back quickly to finish up the remaining things. You can be totally assured that there will be no surveillance videos left behind."
"Alright." Lou Cheng nodded his head, released the seat belt and left the car.
Just as he took a few strides, he suddenly heard Smith shout,
"Lou!"
"What?" Lou Cheng turned around and discovered the lowered the windows of the car. He tilted his body and extended his head out. With a conflicted but sincere look, Smith said in a low and slow voice,
Thank you!"
Feeling emotional all of a sudden, Lou Cheng smiled faintly and shook his head. He didn't say a word, turned around and headed for the school gate as per usual.
