Lin Beichen felt restless inside, but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, due to the media presence; he couldn't afford to lose his composure.
"It's a minor issue. I'll go rest for a bit, make sure no one disturbs me, and handle the other matters as you see fit."
The person in charge understood immediately, and without leaving any attendants, took everyone from the backyard away.
Next to the backyard was a side room, where Lin Beichen had his own room, only a few steps away.
Once everyone left, the air felt much fresher. Lin Beichen took a few deep breaths to suppress his impatience, then walked towards the incense burner.
He didn't immediately return to his room but circled the incense burner a few times, carefully inspecting the two stone turtles.
Lin Beichen wanted to reach out and touch them, but as soon as he did, all he felt was coldness, nothing else.
Suddenly, he sharply looked towards the courtyard entrance, as if he caught a glimpse of a fleeting shadow.
