Exiled, Never to Return to the Country

In the dead of night, within the abandoned industrial zone on the outskirts of the city.

Before stepping out of the car, Lu Wang deliberately made a phone call to confirm that someone from the company was present and the contract was ready. Once assured that they merely needed to finalize a few details on-site before signing, he felt slightly more at ease.

He reasoned that as a grown man, even if he encountered fraud, he could easily extricate himself. Thus, he exited the vehicle and headed into the factory.

Inside one of the warehouses, a row of men clad in black suits stood like sentinels. In front of them were Gu Qinnian and Gu Monian.

Gu Qinnian held a cigarette between his lips, casually twirling an iron rod in his hand while keeping his eyes fixed on the surveillance monitor.

Lu Wang entered.

This was the day after Tao Jing's beating during her live stream.
