你 sits on a rattan chair in the courtyard, holding a cup of clear tea, the curling steam rising slowly in the sunset's afterglow. The old locust tree in the yard rustles, as if whispering some secret. As the sky grows dark and twilight falls, 你 is just about to get up and return to the house when their phone suddenly vibrates.
Caller ID: `Wu Sanxing`.
你 raises an eyebrow and presses the answer button. Wu Sanxing's slightly raspy voice comes from the other end: "你, are you free tonight? Eight o'clock, Xinyue Hotel, Tingyu Pavilion. We have something to discuss."
"Third Uncle, what's so urgent?" 你 asks.
"You'll know when you get here." Wu Sanxing's tone carries a hint of refusal to be denied, and then he hangs up the phone.
你 checks the time; it's already past seven. They get up, take a shower, put on some clean clothes, step out, hail a taxi, and head straight for the Xinyue Hotel.
The Xinyue Hotel is as brilliantly lit as ever. The waiter at the entrance bows respectfully. 你 nods slightly and walks straight to the Tingyu Pavilion on the second floor. Before pushing the door open, 你 is still wondering what Wu Sanxing could possibly want to talk about—perhaps another lead on an ancient tomb, or the whereabouts of some mysterious artifact.
However, the moment the door is pushed open, 你's footsteps falter slightly.
The round table is full of people, but not a single familiar face.
Wu Sanxing sits at the head of the table. Seeing 你 enter, he smiles and gestures: "You're here? Sit."
你's gaze sweeps over everyone present—they don't recognize any of them...
"Third Uncle, what is the meaning of this?" 你 frowns, a hint of displeasure in their tone.
