The luxury car sped through the bustling streets.
The Shanghai night was an endless, flamboyant display of intense extravagance.
The car drove into Night Mansion. The garage door opened, and the luxury car braked smoothly to a halt.
Zhou Luchen didn't hurry to get out. He leaned back wearily in his seat, fingers drumming on the steering wheel.
His phone buzzed—another text from Zhou Xiangqun. Always sending such nonsensical messages. With a swipe of his finger, Zhou Luchen briefly blocked him.
After a moment of silence, he pushed open the door and stepped out.
He entered the dazzlingly lit French villa. To the right, a relief mural was immediately visible.
A woman stood on a stool, long hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore a white nightgown, which made her look ethereal. With a cinnabar brush in hand, her pinky slightly raised, she lightly dabbed the mural on the wall. Her painting technique felt incredibly natural.
