Chapter 863: Always a Hidden Danger
As soon as they got ashore, they had someone find clean clothes; they first soaked in a hot bath, and by the time the clothes arrived, both were nearly done bathing. After changing, they drank the delivered ginger sugar water and immediately headed toward Capital City without stopping.
Before getting into the car, Luo Qiao called her cousin-in-law Zhang Haiming to check on the train departures to Shanghai, asking him to book two train tickets for that night to Shanghai, and then they got into the jeep back to Capital City.
Throughout the ride, each was lost in their thoughts, yet Lu Yichen kept holding Luo Qiao’s hand, having felt somewhat unreal ever since he learned about the matter regarding the "space."

The expression on Old Master Gu’s face changed instantly, "Where did this come from?"
