The driver came up to knock on the door, smiling politely as he invited her downstairs for dinner, where she saw a bag of anti-inflammatory and pain relief medication placed on the dining table.

Leh Ying took her seat, looking at the driver with puzzlement.
With an expressionless face, the driver said, "The Copper Bell Necklace has been cleaned for you by someone, including the broken part which has also been repaired. I've placed it here for you."

The driver shook his head, "I'm not aware of his whereabouts."
That made sense, with five-star hotels and Michelin restaurants outside.
After tasting the crab roe congee, she couldn't help but ask, "The puppy... did it find its owner?"
