"Don't worry, I know this myself. I'm keeping her around for a purpose."
"A purpose in bed?"
"Of course, it's not just that. Am I the type to be easily swayed by beauty?"
Shen Nie smirked without fully smiling: "Didn't see how steadfast you are. As long as you understand yourself, I'm off."
Beitang Qing asked him, "Where are you going? To find Ming Mei? Or... to find Kang Chen?"
Shen Nie ignored him, opened the door, and left.
Beitang Qing shrugged and turned to look out the window.
The night outside was quiet. This city, like many nights before, passed peacefully. In a few hours, the sun would rise as usual, spreading light across every corner of the city, and everyone's life would continue—exercising, working, going to school...
This city, this country, would be grasped tighter and tighter in his hands.
From now on, no one would ever threaten his position.

Beitang Qing put down his wine glass and returned to his new room with Ou Yinghan.
