After leaving the hostel, Feng Qingqing was acutely aware that she was no longer using the protective talismans from before, but rather a defensive shield that would only last for two hours. Knowing that time was of the essence, she didn't dare dawdle and quickly made her way toward the Tian Family residential compound.
Although it was past ten o'clock at night, the biting cold meant there were no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, a night-shift worker would pass by, but they did nothing to hinder Feng Qingqing’s rapid pace. Upon reaching the entrance of the compound, she stood a short distance away to catch her breath, waited until the guard at the gate was looking elsewhere, and then slipped into the compound without a sound.
Having been there during the day, and blessed with keen eyesight, she soon reached the building where the Tian Family lived. She had heard several older women gossiping about the Tian Family’s living conditions earlier that day; it was an unusually large apartment. Rumor had it that the property had been allocated when Tian Shengrong’s first wife was still alive. Of course, this wasn't because the first wife held any high-ranking position at the Education Bureau, but because she was wealthy; she had voluntarily paid a significant sum and leveraged some connections to secure such a spacious home.
