Zhu Longwei was on the verge of becoming drowsy and a sense of boredom was beginning to creep over him. He found himself barely paying attention to the animated conversation among the Tan siblings.
Everyone had gathered in the room, including Tan Guoliang, Tan Xiaodan, Tan Meixiu, and Tan Weiling... except for Tan Xiuying. Zhu Longwei couldn't help but wonder what might be holding her back.
Last night, he had burned the midnight oil, his mind racing through countless scenarios related to the major theft case. He had barely closed his eyes for a brief moment when the first light of dawn pierced through the curtains. Now, his eyes were weary, and drowsiness was setting in.
He kept himself from falling asleep by looking out the living room window at the beautiful garden outside. From where he was, he could see that the tree branches were starting to bloom with red and yellow cherry blossoms.
