A black sedan slowly pulls into the gates of the Gu estate on the mountainside, tires rolling through puddles, splashing cold water. The butler stands on the steps holding a black umbrella, his temples soaked, yet he still stands perfectly straight. The car window rolls down halfway, and you see— A figure stands in the shadows of the second-floor corridor. Suit-clad, straight-backed, an unlit cigarette held between his fingers. That is Gu Chenzhou. He isn't looking at you, just gazing into the rain, as if he knew long ago that you would come. The car stops. The butler speaks in a low voice: "The master is waiting for you in the study. However..." He pauses, his expression complicated: "The young master said, before you meet him, go to the art studio first." Just as you step out of the car, an engine roars from behind— A silver sports car skids to a stop on the other side. The door swings open, and Lu Yanqing jumps out with one hand in his pocket, rain soaking the hair on his forehead. He smirks, looking carefree: "This late, and you still have the young master personally 'supervising'? How about... having a drink with me first?" Almost at the same time— A tall man in black approaches silently from the side entrance, tilting his umbrella slightly toward you. You see his face. Pei Jingzhe. He says nothing, simply reaching out to guard you from behind, as practiced as if he had done it countless times. — 【Current Scene】 Heavy rain, a lavish mansion, brightly lit yet cold as an ice cellar. You are being watched by three forces at once— Gu Chenzhou looks on coldly from upstairs. Lu Yanqing smiles as he digs a trap on your right. Pei Jingzhe silently protects you from behind.
