Time passed until noon, but Bai Chen did not go anywhere. He was still sitting inside the coffee shop. Three empty coffee cups were laid before him, along with cake plates.

It was obvious that during the time that passed, he had ordered more items just to be able to sit there a little bit longer.

He already finished two cups of coffee. The third one was only half full. There was a slice and a half of cake left.

Bai Chen blinked with disappointment. He heaved out a sigh.

His eyes were still fixed on the outside, but nothing had happened. He could not help but sigh.

Mission 21 was not complicated. He only needed to take care of the killer that intended to assassinate the person he had to help. The hard part was he did not know when that was going to happen.

Bai Chan had been waiting almost two hours, but nothing had happened yet.

‘Or is it not today?’ Bai Chen wondered.

In his mind, that was highly likely. However, though he had this thought, he did not think of going home yet. He chose to keep waiting. There were still quite a few hours until evening.

The three female employees looked at him suspiciously since Bai Chen had been sitting in the coffee shop for nearly two hours.

Most of their customers only spent about thirty minutes or at most an hour here. They had not seen anybody spend as much time in the coffee shop as him.

“Maybe this customer is waiting for someone,” one employee remarked.

“It must be that. If not, he would not be sitting here this long.”

Another employee said this. After that, she stopped paying any more attention to or feeling suspicious of Bai Chen.

Inside the coffee shop now there were many customers. Five out of the ten total tables were occupied. The coffee tasted good, and the service was rather good. Otherwise, there would not have been so many people visiting this place.

The cafe’s door was pushed open at that time, and a lady in tight jeans walked in. Her short hair was identifying feature, and her face was extremely pretty.

Aside from its prettiness, her face held coldness. She was none other than Xu Xin Tong.

Today was her day off from work. She had gone to the Xing Zhou police station just to report her arrival and receive her welcome from all the police officers.

She still had two days before she was officially a police officer of the Xing Zhou police station.

“Welcome.”

After she pushed open the door to the coffee shop, she heard the voice of the shop’s female employee.

She paid it no mind, walking in and looking for a free table before she saw a free table over by the mirrored wall. It was next to a table where a middle-aged man was sitting.

Xu Xin Tong walked there without delay because that table was quite far away from the busy tables. She did not like anything crowded and chaotic. She ordered an americano before she looked outside.

The reason why she came to this shop was that she wanted to drink coffee and because it was close to her place. There were no other reasons, so it was not odd that she did not pay attention to anything.

Bai Chen who was sitting noticed her sitting right across from him. His eyes moved back and forth a bit, his heart thumping hard.

This face of the lady in front of him was no less beautiful than Long Xu In’s. But more than her beauty was the coldness that was almost iciness that covered her face.

To Bai Chen, this woman seemed like an ice queen who cared for no one in the world. At one point, he thought her face seemed like that of someone he knew, though he could not figure out who.

‘Pretty ladies are everywhere...’ Bai Chen murmured silently to himself. After he had traveled back in time, he had only met gorgeous girls.

Whether it was Long Xu In, Xu Xue Ning, or this beauty he had just seen sitting in front of him.

Xu Xin Tong noticed someone observing her. She turned her head and met Bai Chen’s eyes. Her pretty brows furrowed when she saw that it was the middle-aged man sitting at the next table who was watching her.

Bai Chen had just realized that staring at a lady for a long while was considered rude.

He quickly pretended to be looking out the window. His heart thumped hard for a moment. He was afraid she was going to think he was a pervert.

When she saw Bai Chen had turned his gaze away, she stopped paying attention. She sipped her coffee silently. Her eyes looked out over the city she did not know and which she had never visited before.

Half an hour passed; Bai Chen was still in the same seat. He ordered one more cup of coffee.

At this time, he had been sitting here for more than two and a half hours—almost three hours.

His gaze was still fixed on the spot outside where the arrow from Mission 21 had pointed. But there was still nothing. Nothing at all had happened for the past half an hour.

When Xu Xin Tong saw the empty coffee cups lined up in front of him, she raised her pretty eyebrows. She did not know a person crazy enough to drink 4 cups of coffee back-to-back.

Anyway, she did not care much. She merely shook her head indifferently before getting up to pay at the counter in front of the shop.

Bai Chen blinked repeatedly when he saw Xu Xin Tong getting up to go pay. He could easily guess she was leaving, and he started to think that so should he. It had been quite long since he had been here.

He thought Mission 21 might not happen today after all.

Bai Chen sighed quietly. Disappointment showed slightly on his face.

The mission did not happen. It was only normal for him to feel disappointed.

After shaking his head lightly, Bai Chen got up off the chair to pay as well.

He walked over to queue behind Xu Xin Tong. When he saw that she had already paid, he walked in to pay after her.

After having paid the bill, Bai Chen walked out behind Xu Xin Tong. When he walked out of the coffee shop, he saw Xu Xin Tong’s beautiful back waiting to cross the road.

Bai Chen only looked at her back slightly before turning away, ready to find a cab back home.

But all of the sudden, a mission window popped up.

Ding!

Bai Chen’s eyes opened wide in shock. He could not have imagined Mission 21 was going to take place just when he was about to go home!
