October 25, 2020, China, Li Jing, Ancient Yima District.
The weather has already turned to autumn, and the evening breeze is slightly cool. Even leaning against the window sill in the evening, you can't hear the cicadas.
However, you can hear the rumble of trains thundering over the elevated bridges. Li Jing's elevated railways are quite developed, and locals walking on the streets or alleys can just look up to see a steel dragon shuttling under the sky.
Ji Minghuan was playing with his phone while stepping over the fallen leaves on his way home.
The reason the Gu Family can live in the Old Jingmai District without any external disturbance, openly and uprightly, is because Ji Minghuan specially ran out in the middle of the night to have a meeting with senior officials of the United Nations.
Rather than politely calling it a meeting, it might be better described as catching them during their "bathroom breaks" and "afternoon tea" to say some "heartfelt" things.
