The night was like ink, the bustling scenes of H Country receding rapidly outside the car window as Zhang Yang led the group back to the hotel.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was relaxed, with Shen Jiayi and the twin sisters excitedly discussing their "brave exploits" at the club earlier.
Xia Xue leaned against the window, gazing at the city lights, lost in thoughts.
Xu Mengyan mentioned needing to stay behind to handle clan affairs. Although Zhang Yang was concerned, he was also aware of Xu Mengyan's capabilities and determination, so he simply urged her to stay safe without persuading her further.
Upon returning to the hotel, Jiang Meiren had regained some spirit. Hearing about Zhang Yang and the others' "righteous uproar at the club," she couldn't help but laugh, "You sure know how to pick a place to vent, but it's good. Such scum should have been dealt with long ago."
Nothing else was said that night, and the next morning, Zhang Yang began arranging the return home.
