Shanghai Airport was bustling with activity as Shan Zitong, accompanied by his parents, Shan Renzhong and Niu Yunzhi, disembarked from the plane. The family wore somber expressions, not anticipating the upcoming event.
Madame Shan attempted to lighten the mood. "Look at the bright side, guys. This is the last mission."
"I know, but do you trust this person?" Zitong voiced his concern.
Master Shan weighed in, "As much as I don't trust them, I believe they'll keep their word. This mission feels personal, unlike the others she's requested."
Madame Shan sighed, trying to mask her unease. "Let's all put on these fake smiles and get this over with, okay?"
Zitong and his parents settled into a car heading for their booked hotel, each lost in their thoughts.
Once settled in the suite, Shan Zitong's phone chimed, and he answered with a casual "Hello." Gu Liang's voice came through on the other end, "You're here."
