Discovered

Gu Nianzhi followed Huo Shaoheng out of his official residence. She took the opportunity to have a good look at her surroundings.

It was always freezing cold during winter in the Imperial Capital; thanks to the low temperature, the heavy snowfall from Christmas Eve had not fully melted.

Gu Nianzhi looked appreciatively about her. The contrast between the black topsoil and the scattered islands of white snow was pretty to look at.

The road leading to Huo Shaoheng's official residence was entirely devoid of snow, however. There was probably a snowmelt system buried beneath the road.

They had not been outside for long when they saw a motorcade enter the grounds.

"Sir, Senior Colonel Chen Lie has arrived!"

Huo Shaoheng nodded. He stood beside Gu Nianzhi, his hands clasped behind his back, as he watched the motorcade come to a halt before his residence.

The rear door of the front-most car opened. Chen Lie stepped out with a large box.
