At 2 am, Ji Ran wore a mask. His expression couldn't be any darker.

He strongly believed that something must have possessed him to engage in such nonsensical acts instead of sleeping.

Qin Man's luggage was still in the rental room. He said that the debtors had staked out his house during the day and only left at 2 in the morning, so they could only come back at this time to grab his stuff.

Sitting in the car, he stared at the neighbourhood apartment building. "Qin Man, do you think I'm stupid? How can these apartments only cost 1000 yuan[1] a month?"

"It's 800." Qin Man said, "My friend kindly rented it to me because he's the landlord, I also don't feel it's right to stay here."

Ji Ran replied, "... So you also know how to feel shame."

Qin Man laughed without any hint of anger. "You can park the car in the district car park. This car is too eye-catching, I'm afraid it'll be noticed."

The car they'd taken today was the cheapest Benz in Ji Ran's garage. As they headed towards the car park, he muttered, "How is this eye-catching? Those debtors are country bumpkins, how can they even notice this?"

After parking the car, Qin Man undid his seatbelt. "Wait for me here, I'll be right back. If I don't return after 10 minutes..."

Ji Ran asked, "Do I call the police?"

"No need. That's too troublesome." Qin Man told him. "You can just leave, go home and sleep."

"..."

Qin Man had just gotten down when he heard the sound of the car door opening. Ji Ran got off and put on a baseball hat

"Look at your dainty-lady figure. If you really run into someone, you'd probably be sent flying. I'll go with you."

Saying so, he took the lead and walked in front. After several steps, he turned back. "Get going. What are you waiting for? The faster we finish this, the faster we can return home."

The person in front of him was clearly shorter than himself, yet he'd called him a dainty lady. Qin Man couldn't hold back his amusement. "Alright."

Twenty floors later, the elevator doors opened. Ji Ran imposingly stuck a leg out and walked out, scanning their surroundings.

"There's no one. Move faster."

Qin Man unlocked the door and Ji Ran sized the place up. This apartment was pretty good; it was spacious and was definitely not cheap. It looked like Qin Man's friend was pretty good.

"I'll go pack." Qin Man asked, "Would you like a drink?"

"You came here to pack up to abscond, not to entertain me as a guest." Ji Ran rolled his eyes.

After Qin Man went in, Ji Ran shut the door and took a seat on the sofa. He began to look around in boredom.

The interior decor was very simple. The wallpapers were a light grey hue; pretty but meaningless.

Then, he noticed a painting on the wall. It was a painting of a banyan tree and the ocean.

Ji Ran didn't know how to appreciate art and only thought it was pretty cool. But he didn't know why he kept having a feeling that this painting seemed rather familiar. He just couldn't remember.

There seemed to be a signature at the corner. Just as he stood up to take a closer look, the door to the room opened.

"I'm done." Qin Man picked up a small duffel bag. "Let's go."
