When Song Xiufeng and Ning Anping got off work, the test results were in.
It wasn't some new addictive drug that you can't quit, just the most common kind, one that hooks you once you start, and quitting requires a tremendous amount of willpower. Without that willpower, you're compelled to keep using.
Sure, the costs were secondary, the primary issue was the great harm it did to the body.
But no matter how harmful the stuff was, just because of the addiction, many were falling over themselves to foot the bill.
Along with the test results came news about Sun Xiaohong; they hadn't found her.
Not only had the tea shop owner failed to locate her, the people Lu Qingqing had sent out came back empty-handed as well.
She hadn't returned to her rented cubicle apartment in Sham Shui Po, as if she had vanished from the face of the Earth, with no records of her leaving the country either.
