Following the location Bao Xiaotou had sent, Ye Lin wound his way past all manner of bustling buildings until he finally arrived before a towering high-rise.
He looked up at the skyscraper piercing the clouds, then ultimately stepped inside.

As Ye Lin approached, he discovered that it was Gu Qingzhi.
"You're here."
