The Shi Family's old residence was located in the most bustling area of the Imperial City. After winding through three or five narrow alleys, one would come upon that solitary, serene, and tranquil courtyard.
Shi Wei stood at the gate of the mansion, staring at the dark red door. His eyes, deep as ink, held no trace of light.
"Boss, you should go inside now." Chen Cai lowered his head slightly, his demeanor uncharacteristically serious.
It was unclear how much time had passed before he heard a faint response from the other party.
Shi Wei took a step forward, pausing briefly at the threshold. His entire being exuded an intense, oppressive heaviness.
Yet, the moment he crossed over the threshold, the low pressure abruptly dissipated into thin air, as though it had all been a mere illusion conjured in Chen Cai's mind.
The old residence was sizeable. From the mansion gate, one would pass by a screen wall and then a hanging flower gate before arriving at the courtyard.
