"Gu Juexi practices tai chi? How idle," said the man in the dark. His voice echoed in the house, making his real voice unidentifiable.
"What do we do next?" asked the bodyguard.
"Now we wait. The show has just begun. Tell that old man that Gu Juexi already had his hands on what happened back then. Tell him to get ready for what is coming," said the man as he toyed with a string of telescopic beads in his hand.
The bodyguard nodded and turned to leave the room. Before he left, he heard the person in the dark say to him, "the conviction itself was not the scary part. It was the suspense while waiting for death, and waiting for what you did in the past to be discovered and criticized by others."
The room fell into silence again after the bodyguard left the house, and the distant echo of the man's voice was the only sound.
Meanwhile at Shennongjia, Gu Juexi was in the room video conferencing PA Wen who was supposed to be on holiday.
