The stars and moon were hanging high.
Tonight the sky was clear, adorned with a myriad of twinkling stars.
Under the starry night, within the courtyard, lanterns were hung around the escort carts.
Bathed in the glow of firelight, several attendants guarding the escort carts leaned on them, already asleep.
The entire yard was utterly silent.
Just then, the sound of footsteps started to rise, as more than a dozen people sprinted across the rooftops of the courtyard.
At the same time, the inner door opened, and Manager He walked in, shrinking his neck tremblingly.
Behind him followed a burly man.
With a short blade in hand, he examined it in the night, occasionally glancing at Manager He and then kicked him from behind.
He kicked Manager He flying, who landed on the ground grimacing in pain.
He didn't dare make a sound, and could only silently get up from the ground.
