"I heard... Pei Fengzhi has woken up?"

Looking up from the pile of to-do documents on her assistant's phone, she turned slightly to the side and spoke to Li Mochuan.

“I’ve been awake for a month now, but you were in Europe on business, so I didn’t tell you because I didn’t think it was a big deal.”

Li Mochuan glanced at his assistant with his sharp, peach-blossom eyes and smiled indifferently.

"Han Yuan, you're getting better and better at handling things!"

Han Yuan immediately lowered his head.

"It was my mistake, please punish me."

Li Mochuan chuckled.

"Punishment? Let's forget about it. But I've made a note of this for you. Whether you make amends through good deeds or settle things later is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Han Yuan couldn't help but shudder. A chill ran down his spine, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his back. He dared not say anything more.

After a long while, Li Mochuan chuckled softly, as if he were talking to himself.

“Pei Fengzhi…it’s been so many years since we last met…it’s time to see each other.”

...

In the dimly lit and cramped solitary confinement cell, there was no sound, no light, and even the air seemed to have stopped flowing, so one could not feel the passage of time.

Pei Fengzhi sat in his wheelchair; he was not asleep.

It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but there was no bed in the room, and Pei Fengzhi was weak, so he couldn't sleep at all in this state.

Suddenly, a faint scraping sound came from outside the confinement room.

In the darkness, Pei Fengzhi's eyes suddenly opened, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Who has arrived?

He had previously mentioned to Old Master Pei that he didn't need to send anything over, so it couldn't possibly be someone sent by Old Master Pei.

So, who would be here instead of sleeping in their room at this time?

Pei Fengzhi turned his wheelchair to face the slowly opening door of the solitary confinement cell, waiting for the person behind the door to appear.
