This time, Su Chen didn't have Chen Fei stay in the car. Instead, he brought him along as they walked toward Elder Xiao's residence.
"Mr. Su~"
It was the same old story. Just as they reached the courtyard gate, it swung open.
Seeing the two familiar guards standing behind the gate, Su Chen smiled and nodded in response.
"Is it you two again? Don't you rotate shifts?"
"We do rotate. We just swapped with the other team yesterday!" the guard captain said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Chen strode into the courtyard. As he neared the Hanging Flower Gate, he stopped and shot a look at Chen Fei, signaling for him to stay outside and chat with the two guards.
Arriving in the central courtyard, Su Chen didn't see Elder Xiao's familiar figure. By now, the elder should have been in the courtyard listening to music and drinking tea while waiting for him, just like usual.
'Why isn't he here today?'
