A dozen or so hours later, the plane arrived in Upper City.
People had already been arranged to meet them at the airport, and the group filed out in a long line and headed to Mu Chen's home.
In the dead of night, the people sleeping around the alley were all startled awake by the sound of footsteps.
But they couldn't resist their drowsiness and didn't get up to look.
The bodyguards set the ice coffin down, then tidied up the house before leaving.
On the way to the airport, Mu Yan had already told Qin Xi and the others to go back and rest; they had suffered plenty along the way as well.
Now that they were in Upper City, everything that remained depended on how she managed it.
In the end, only Mu Yan, Jiang Jingheng, and Luo Yao stayed behind.
Mu Yan said to Jiang Jingheng, "You still have work tomorrow, go back and sleep first."
"I'm not working tomorrow," Jiang Jingheng said. "It's Saturday."
