It's all because of him, Meng Chuan doesn't find it convenient to speak right now.
Once the demoness is dealt with tonight, he'll speak to Long Jiu.
Meng Chuan slurps down two bowls of pumpkin porridge, followed by a few dumplings made by his aunt, then slips away.
"You all take your time eating, I have matters to attend to tonight and will be home late."
Meng Yongzhi pushes around the food in his bowl, habitually looking up to say:
"Alright, come home early."
Meng Chuan pauses, then smiles and says:
"Okay."
Besides family, there's really no one else who would remind him like this.
Returning upstairs, Meng Chuan checks his gear before leaving, bringing along the long-unseen Tiger Soul spear as well.
Making sure everything is prepared, he sets out.
Long Jiu needs to stay seated at the police station; tonight's operation, he remains the captain.
...
The night is high, with only a hint of red light hanging in the sky.
Tonight, there are ominous clouds.
