Li Yiming pulled up the collar of his jacket as he walked into a residential neighborhood in the old city, a place that gave him a better sense of security.
He regretted not taking some money from the pile Pan Junwei had left. Without any cash, bank card, or ID card, getting anywhere was a tremendous challenge. After peeking at the surveillance camera attached to the power pole above his head, he walked out of the small alley.
Li Yiming had wandered around the coffee shop for a while after the incident. It was a bitter pill to see Liu Meng and his friends siding with the police, since it meant that he could not go to them for help, at least until he figured out how to break the influence of Heart Trial Punishment. In addition, seeing Eyegla.s.ses also reminded him that in a big city where surveillance is omnipresent, he would need to tread carefully and remain elusive.
'I need to get out of this city…' Li Yiming grew more anxious as he considered his options.
"Hey cutie, want to play?" Li Yiming's thoughts were interrupted by a voice from behind. He turned around and found a slightly plump woman with heavy make-up smiling at him. She wore a low-cut dress, along with poor quality stockings, and the visible fatigue on her visage made Li Yiming pity her.
Li Yiming then noticed the giant neon sign right above her head: "Sauna center: ma.s.sages, hair was.h.i.+ng, and more!"
'This might be the only place where I can spend a night without an ID card…' Li Yiming gulped down a mouthful of saliva. The man who was bravely defying the Heavens just a few days ago was now forced to spend the night in an illegal brothel.
'Seriously…' Li Yiming was beginning to appreciate the "real" consequences of defying Heaven's Laws.
"Come on, cutie, come relax a bit!" The woman quickly insisted when she saw Li Yiming consider her offer. It was a treat for her to be able to have a client who was as handsome as Li Yiming.
Li Yiming let out a long sigh and nodded politely, but still ended up turning around.
's.h.i.+t, a drone…' Li Yiming had barely taken a few steps before noticing the aircraft above him and turned back. The woman, who saw Li Yiming come back, smiled happily as she opened the door for him.
"Come have a look at this." In an office building on the other side of the city, Eyegla.s.ses frowned as he looked at his screen.
"Did you find anything?" Qing Linglong walked up with a gla.s.s of red wine.
"I've captured this a few moments ago. Seventy-two percent match." Eyegla.s.ses pointed at a picture of Li Yiming walking into the "sauna center".
"That's not him." Liu Meng snorted as she saw the neon sign on top of the entrance.
