Shen Gu, who was unaware of Zhou Huahai's sinister plan, felt a bit embarrassed as he arrived at the door of the rental house and took out his keys. Before leaving, he had promised to let Lin Mumu enjoy some peaceful time alone in the house for a while. However, he had only been gone for a little over an hour after buying colored stationery in the city.

As he cautiously opened the door with his key, he looked towards the sofa in the living room. The TV was still playing animal channels, but the Little White Cat on the sofa seemed to be sleeping soundly. Lin Mumu, who sensed someone approaching, opened one eye and glanced at Shen Gu before closing it again and falling back asleep. She seemed to be completely unconcerned about why Shen Gu had returned early.

"Maybe I should have the bedding seller send another set over," Shen Gu thought to himself.

While in the taxi, Shen Gu had tried calling his two other roommates, Lu Hao and Zhang Yue, but their phones were both unanswered. He suspected that they might also be under the control of Zhou Huahai's people. In this situation, it was not a good idea to return to the dormitory at Morningside University at night or even just to go back to the dormitory to get something.
