"...Uncle Zhiyuan...where are we going?"
Jiang Ze sat motionless in the passenger seat, his lips pressed together. With his eyes covered, he could see only blurry light.
He had left school that morning and returned to the villa, but before he could even settle in, the big shot had taken him straight to the car, as though he had been waiting specifically for him.
