Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
New Year's Day had arrived, and news from the Underground City dissipated like a speck of dust into the ocean. Although it once was a terrifying Different World capable of influencing global affairs, it failed to stir the slightest ripple in the lives of ordinary people.
Social tensions were high.
The wealthy businessmen on Hong Kong Island grew increasingly brazen. Danger lurked everywhere, rendering the situation as bleak as that in the Underground City.
Xu Si, accustomed to such scenes, changed into the festive red clothes prepared by Butler Ge. Together with the servants of the Xu Mansion, she set off firecrackers. She also personally visited the company to hand out red envelopes to employees who had not returned home for the New Year.
On such occasions, she always maintained a kind and appropriate smile, but her heart felt heavy.
More than ten days passed.
When she awoke, there was still no message from Pei Zhen.
