The atmosphere in the living room was tense as everyone awaited the arrival of the expected guest. Li Yanyan, Li Chen, and Sun Lixia sat in anticipation, surrounded by Shadow, Ren Zirui, Ding Chengxi, and Xu Zhonhao, each stationed at a different corner of the room. Outside, vigilant bodyguards moved strategically, their eyes scanning the surroundings with weapons in hand.
As the clock struck 8 PM, Li Chen broke the silence, "Well, it's now or never." Sun Lixia directed Ding Chengxi, "Wait for any movement." Ding Chengxi nodded in acknowledgment, responding with a determined "Yes, ma'am."
Minutes passed, and the room was filled with an unsettling silence. The group could sense the tension building as the footsteps approached, each heartbeat echoing the anticipation. The guards outside had been given specific instructions – no attack unless provoked.
