By the time he returned to New York City, it was nearly noon.
The city, usually bustling with activity and filled with noisy crowds, was eerily deserted, with hardly any pedestrians on the streets.
He guessed that everyone must have gone to watch the preliminaries. Without giving it much thought, Li Zhongnan headed straight back to the Westin Inn upon entering the city.
Inside the inn, it was similarly quiet. Apart from a few staff members chatting and joking around, there were no customers in sight in the lobby on the first floor.
"Master Li, you're back?" As if she knew he had entered, a voluptuous, charming, and seductive woman sashayed down from the second floor.
She smiled coquettishly at him.
It was Du Meisha.
Li Zhongnan responded with a pleased smile and casually remarked, "Madam Du, you seem to be in a good mood today?"
"Oh, you guessed that?" Du Meisha was slightly taken aback.
