Let the Able Take the Place and the Mediocre Yield-How Could He Stay Low-Key When Opportunity Knocked!

Before dawn broke, he escorted Lin Daiyu back to Xiaoxiang Hall.

As the sky began to brighten, Jia Huan arrived at the office, brewed a pot of tea on the small stove, and quietly leafed through case files.
