Time flew by, and another ten days passed in the blink of an eye. After a torrential downpour, the dog days of summer were over. The weather changed almost overnight from humid and muggy to the dry, cool breeze of autumn.
Although the sun was still strong, it was quite pleasant as long as one wasn't directly under it. The students' summer vacation had also ended. Li Chengxi opened his shop in the morning as usual and rang up a bunch of students who were rushing to buy breakfast.
Life was as plain and uneventful as ever, without any ripples. As for the mastermind behind the major serial case that Qian Sen had mentioned, there was still no new information. Entering a new circle, while bringing gains, also brought some troubles due to the new environment.
Despite a bit of anxiety, Li Chengxi didn't pay it too much mind. His business was mostly with regulars, so he would surely notice if a stranger walked in. For a small convenience store like his, a fugitive would inevitably attract attention if they came by.
