Fortunately, few cars were traveling the streets of Beijing at midnight, so Qin Zhi'ai's taxi driver did not lose track of Gu Yusheng.
She had no idea where they were heading as his taxi circled around 2nd Ring Road for more than half of the round before turning onto the main road.
Turning left, they traveled for almost a mile before Qin Zhi'ai recognized that they were in the Commercial District.
The shops had already closed, and under the flickering neon lights hardly a soul could be seen.
Driving on a little farther, Gu Yusheng's taxi stopped on the side of the road, and he got out. The driver turned the hazards on, apparently because he would be waiting for Gu Yusheng to return.
Afraid that Gu Yusheng would spot her, Qin Zhi'ai had her driver pass the parked taxi and pull off the road some distance ahead.
