Night falls and a low-key Mercedes pulls up in front of a hotel. The doorman steps forward to open the door, letting Yang Yi out first and then walking to the other side to help Meng Xiao out.
Yang Yi is dressed in the simplicity of a black Zhongshan suit, emanating an air of calm and assertiveness. Even his favorite watch has been replaced with a more common design.
Meng Xiao has also changed into a simple dress, its vintage style making her look dignified and elegant. Not a single piece of jewelry adorns her body and her makeup is subtly applied.
They enter the hotel, which falls short of the flamboyant luxury of Hai City's top-end hotels. The place seems to be inconspicuous and Meng Xiao didn't even know it existed.
The interior of the hotel is decorated like a mansion from the Republic of China era, with pure mahogany wall decorations, jade stone steps, and leather sofas, all showcasing understated elegance.
