Li Ming gazed at the young woman on the screen, a perfect picture of her younger self, and let out a long sigh.
The young woman he had practically raised still looked the same, but he had already grown old.
Li Ming lowered his gaze, and out of the camera's view, pressed down hard on his legs, which had long since lost all feeling.

"Xiaoxi," he said, looking up seriously. "This time, if Lu Chenyuan hadn't happened to find you and run around getting into trouble with you, I wouldn't have contacted you at all."
Gu Xi subconsciously defended him. "Don't blame him. Even if he hadn't shown up, I was already caught up in the matter in South City..."
"I know about that." Li Ming nodded. "But don't you worry. These are all minor things, and I'll take care of them. The South City Restaurant incident, the matter with No. 176, and the situation over at the NX1984 ruin area..."
Gu Xi suddenly cut him off. "So, who else is involved in this?"
