Night deepened with wind and rain, leaves scattering in abundance.
Following a period of clear skies, the days nearing year's end brought yet another flurry of fine rain.
Last night's rain fell so quietly, adding a chill to the air, and the Lan Residence's courtyards, blanketed in fallen leaves, took on a touch of desolation.
In the tea room of the Lan Residence, a faint scent of herbal tea lingered in the air, with sliding doors opened on both sides revealing the inner courtyard.
Long Chengyu sat leisurely, comfortably watching some withered branches in the courtyard as the copious fine rain draped everything in a layer of white gauze, which also carried a sense of solitude.
Today was a rare day off, and he needed to rest, after a month and a half of ceaseless work, the control over Longteng Group had ultimately stabilized, but it had taken a toll on his body.
"Young Master, Mr. Chu will arrive in about an hour."
