The terrain of the Gu Mansion was not exactly complex, but it was definitely not simple either.
Surrounded by the Lan River, the hilltop appeared highly secretive.
Due to his less than pleasant experiences in his youth, Gu Jiangnian took security issues very seriously. With dozens, if not hundreds of guards, and a monitoring room staffed with multiple people around the clock, the Gu Mansion was all about protecting its inhabitants.
Today, however, that sense of security was up for scrutiny.
A single sentence from Muwan drew Gu Jiangnian's gaze, and he reached out to hand her the basket he was holding.
He stepped down the stairs, heading towards the pile of cigarette butts.
Jiang Muwan wasn't mistaken; there indeed was a pile of cigarette butts. Gu Jiangnian squatted down, picked up a twig and casually stirred them, squinting his eyes slightly. As he stood up and looked around, this spot was just right for a clear view of the main gate of the Gu Mansion.
