Meanwhile, within a bathhouse in Jianghai, a young man with a face plagued by years of hardship, clad in a disposable bathrobe, lies lazily on the bed, fixedly watching the television screen.
The news being aired is about the engagement between Liu Xiangli and Xu Bowen.
The man lights a cigarette and takes a few drags before the smoke engulfs him, he grins maliciously, the corners of his mouth upturning.
Running down his face from between his eyebrows to his chin is a deep knife scar that almost divides his visage down the middle.
When he laughs, the scar appears as though it's about to break open, making him look alarmingly grotesque.
"Jianghai, I've finally returned! The Xu Family? I hope they're in one piece!"
The man only takes a few drags of the cigarette before it burns down to the butt.
Smacking his lips, his mouth curls up, revealing a row of wax-yellow teeth smoked yellow as if he hadn't brushed them in years, inducing disgust.
