Chen Xiao still returned to Dongzhou during the night.
But the reason he left was because Chen Xu had made the move first.
Originally, Chen Xu said he would leave the next day, but after paying respects to his ancestors, the Chen family packed their bags.
Seeing there was nothing to linger for, Chen Xu returned to Xiangdu during the night as well.
As he watched them leave in the distance, Chen Xiao even sent Xiaoji and Xiaoji Knife Man to the highway entrance just to double-check that Chen Xu's convoy had left Lanshan County.
Upon receiving the final update, Chen Xiao returned to Dongzhou under his mother's disapproving gaze.
However, Chen Xiao didn't go back home. Since Lin Xi was out investigating a case, Chen Xiao drove straight to the detective team to wait.
Zhang Xian was slurping instant noodles at the station.
It wasn't clear if he ate too much instant noodles or if his appetite was off tonight.
