Chapter 1008  : To Go Our Separate Ways Till The End Of The World (8)

Wu Hao continued to wait until the woman came out of Xu Wennuan’s apartment building and left in the taxi. Only then did he start his car and drive off slowly in the night. While he cruised along the dark streets, an especially strong thunderstorm began, greatly reducing visibility and forcing him to slow down considerably. Twenty minutes later he was still crawling along when suddenly, through the dense streaks of rain on his windshield and fast-moving wipers, he saw the gates of A High School.
