Nightfall!
The bone-chilling wind howls past...The few remaining leaves on the roadside plane tree rattle and fall, landing on the ground like broken-winged butterflies fluttering leisurely...
The streets are desolate, occasionally interspersed with a few people tiptoeing by...
In front of an isolated quadrangle courtyard, dozens of men clad in black stand. They stand hands behind backs, casting indifferent gazes upon the ancient courtyard ahead, thus adding a touch of bizarre ambiance to this tranquil night...
The man at the forefront coldly commands, “Burn it!"
"Yes!” Behind him, two men with torches in hand toss them into the courtyard's nursery. Immediately, flames surge high into the sky, fanned by the wind they grow larger, illuminating half of the sky. The man continues, "Where is Gu Xiwen?"
"Don't know!" His men respond respectfully.
"Keep searching! That wedding dress! Make sure you find it!" The man's emotionless eyes glance towards the alley as he chillingly orders, "Retreat!"
Meanwhile, at the luxury suite in Saint City Hotel...
A girl, wearing a see-through nightgown, lies down on the large double bed. Her jet-black hair spreads across the white bed cover. Her fair little face colors faintly into a blush. Eyelashes curling like feather fans cover her eyes, while her tempting red lips murmurs something incoherently. Her arms are tied to the head of the bed...and legs, tied to the foot of the bed...
A tall figure stands quietly by the window. He wears a rose-red shirt with top buttons undone revealing a sexy, bronze-colored skin. Black casual pants are worn below, fitting like a spear. The ends of his extravagant cuffs are rolled up, his long arms folded across his chest, the sexy thin lips pressed into a straight line. However, his eyes are covered with a dark gray mask, concealing half of his face.
His sinister gaze remains fixed on the woman in bed...
Suddenly, he gives out an evil laugh, walking towards Gu Xiwen. Standing by the bed, looking condescendingly down at her, he remarks, “You truly are tempting...”
