The sudden rain in Nanjiang caught everyone off guard. Tang Jingwei sat under the veranda, sipping red wine and gazing at the rain outside. The wind blew the rain mist onto him, making him feel somewhat cold, yet Tang Jingwei showed no sign of returning indoors.
Since the death of his son, he had been buying drink to numb himself almost every day.
Only the driver, Old Geng, and the nanny, Nanny Dong, were taking care of his daily life.
Nanny Dong approached him and whispered, "Mr. Tang, there are two detectives from Dongzhou who wish to see you."
Tang Jingwei finished the wine in his cup and handed the empty glass to Nanny Dong, his throat hoarse as he said, "Let them in."
When Lu Qi and Li Zhong entered the Chinese-style mansion, Tang Jingwei continued to sit under the veranda, looking unkempt. Occasionally, lightning flashed across the somber sky, illuminating his pale face.
