At night, a sudden heavy rain added a hint of coolness to the originally hot weather, seeming to herald the arrival of autumn.
The pitch-black night sky, raindrops drifting in the wind, splashed the trees, generating a "shush" sound, which seemed particularly harsh in the quiet garden.
In the garden, the members of the Red Bamboo Gang, dressed in black suits, wearing earpieces, and concealed guns, had their clothes thoroughly soaked. The night wind blew, bringing them a wave of cold.
But it was the suffocating atmosphere within the villa rather than the weather that truly made them feel cold.
It had been a long time since they as members of the Dark Hall had felt this way.
Dark Hall.
These two words held a significant reputation in the Red Bamboo Gang and indeed the entire Chinese underworld.
