Although Chen Shuning didn't particularly like the old woman who brought disaster to the country during the last empire, he really liked one of her sayings: "If you make me unhappy for a moment, I'll make you unhappy for the rest of your life."
So she went back inside, closed the door, and went to sleep, intending to get enough rest so she could go out for a walk in the middle of the night and soothe her wounded heart.
After setting her alarm, Chen Shuning fell fast asleep. During this time, Qin Yalan, who felt she had gone a bit too far, came to visit Chen Shuning.
However, seeing her sleeping daughter, she assumed she was just tired from the day and didn't pay much attention. She had Chen Tiejun lock the door in advance and then went back to her room to rest.
At two o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock on Chen Shuning's phone under his pillow went off right on time.
Chen Shuning jumped up and went straight into the space. He found a set of black sportswear, a black baseball cap, black gloves and shoes, and a black mask to cover himself up completely before going out.
As for the costumes and props specially prepared for the elderly couple, they would have to wait until they entered the courtyard to put them on.
Otherwise, it would be bad if someone in the family got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and got scared.
Upon entering the courtyard, Chen Shuning initially intended to jump over the low wall between the second and third courtyards. However, upon considering her father's profession, she almost instantly changed her mind.
Instead of jumping over the wall directly from his own yard to the first courtyard, he carefully opened the back door, went around the street outside to the front door, and then jumped over the wall to enter the first courtyard where the Chen family lived.
There was no glitz and glamour of nightlife at this time, so the streets were extremely quiet in the early morning. There were no people or cars on the empty streets, so Chen Shuning, who wasn't worried about being seen by anyone, only took a few minutes to get around to the front door of the house.
She remembered that a section of the courtyard wall near the gate had collapsed, and that height was just right for her to climb.
As Chen Shuning carefully climbed over the courtyard wall, she felt fortunate. Apart from her family, everyone else in the courtyard lived in cramped conditions. They would try to build sheds to accommodate more people in any available space. As a result, no one in the courtyard kept dogs. Otherwise, she would not have dared to jump over the wall in the middle of the night.
Without making a sound, Chen Shuning arrived smoothly at the door of the house where the elderly Chen couple lived.
