Liu Changzheng stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, his silhouette forlorn. After this incident, he seemed to have aged several years. Although his son was saved, the relationship between the Liu and Guo families seemed to have plummeted into an icy cellar, likely beyond salvage.

Liu Changzheng gazed out the window, remaining silent for a long time.
