Gu Jin noted down the address Maomao gave and agreed to meet at Shuiwan.
She hung up the phone and caught a minibus at the station, which is also a type of taxi.
Just after getting in the car, the driver asked, "Where are you headed?"
Gu Jin replied in Mandarin, "To Shuiwan."
The driver, hearing her northern accent, responded in broken Mandarin, "Five bucks."
"Alright, please be quick, thank you."
With the fare settled, the minibus sped away.
At night, at 10:50, Gu Jin finally arrived at Shuiwan. She paid the driver and got off the car with An Mingji, carrying a black suitcase.
Shuiwan turned out to be a dock in Shenzhen, filled with simple shacks, sea area, fishing boats, and a strong sea breeze.
Under the streetlights, the place looked eerie, especially at this hour.
"Hey, over here!"
There was a shadow to the left front. Gu Jin squinted to see through the darkness; it was a boy with dyed yellow hair.
