I Have Returned

As they arrived at one building, Brian led Jake to stop and wait for the guards. The guards then arrived, and they were surprised to see him back. With Brian's identity and reputation still intact, he was easily recognized by the guards that led him to enter the building, which was the main building and also the gates to a wider manor.

Just as Brian and Jake entered the Wubao family's siheyuan, which was wider than normal, having a wide inner courtyard and houses on either side, Jake was astonished to see how extravagant their life must be.

The roof was solid and well-conditioned. The bricks used for the floor of the courtyard were white, so anyone would assume that it was cleaned every day. And the plants at each corner were dazzling green. Jake couldn't hold his breath. That could only make him face Brian in surprise.

"Brother Brian, just how was this place so clean while the capital was all dirty?" Jake asked with a slightly loud voice.
