< < Zhou Lan Lan's POV > >
two days before the incident...

LanLan blankly watched the customers in the restaurant, analyzing her plan's accuracy while doing so. She's gonna book their seat upstairs so it'll 'delay' the 'saving process' when the right moment comes. Only her impatience understand the thrill she thought she'll get from the result of it

''Sweetie can you get us some stuffs from the market? I left the list on the counter" Mr Zhou requested in a soft spoken manner. But despite his gentle nature LanLan's stone heart internally rolled her eyes, but still does as she was told

''Okay dad'' she took the list with some money as she made her way to the supermarket. The sound from the nearest construction site caught her attention. I mean, the sound pretty much caught everyone's attention considering how loud it was

Rumours said that it's gonna be a bookstore cafe. LanLan planned to be a regular customer there if the rumour's true. She loves to be surrounded with books, and a warm tea is her favourite addition. And maybe a few biscuits too, but she prefer to save them for last

She arrived to the market not too long after as she picked everything she needed. She can't help but to feel like her plan was lacking, and as she was about to pay for her items, a 'brilliant' idea came into her head

"Uncle can I have a small black plastic bag please? Thank You''

. . . .

''I'm Leaving!'' LanLan yelled from the door. Her parents wave at her as the glass door swung open and closed. Mrs Li watched her daughter leaving the restaurant until she was no longer seen  before going back to her work,  silently praying that her daughter will arrive safely at home.  

LanLan walked with a rushed speed, her heels stomping on the hard cement side road as she made her way to the construction site, her eyes busy looking around to check if anyone is watching her doing so

It's currently 8:45PM, she learned the fact that the constructors usually ends their shift on 5PM. She thought it'll be easy to get in but unfortunately for her, the gate's closed. It's obvious that she didn't think this through yet but she need to get what she came for.

There's nothing her determination can do in this situation, and so she left frustratedly, head busy brainstorming for plan B

She woke  up early the next day, Saturday. They're gonna go to the restaurant the next day so she had to get it today no matter what. Her parents had left the house to open and prepare the restaurant, fresh breakfast already prepared on the dining table for her

She finished her breakfast in a rush and quickly left the house, making her way to the construction site once again. Her luck isn't with her this time too,  in this broad daylight, people are walking by and the construction workers are getting ready to do their work  on the site

Now, her new plan is more messy and straight to the point; a fistful of the demolished dirt, stuffing it in the plastic bag and walk away like nothing happened. Her trembling hand gripping onto the plastic tightly

Some of the construction workers thought she's being weird, but they just let her go because they had to finish their own tasks for the day. 

Plus, what could go wrong?

''How many times do it have to tell you to stay out of  trouble?! Your useless father is enough of a headache  already!'' Mrs Li frustratedly whisper yelled. Li TianYing could only weakly brace herself, as usual.
