That night, at an outdoor café in Shanghai.
Young men and women were sipping fragrant coffee and whispering softly, occasionally bursting into gentle laughter. The breeze from the Huangpu River was refreshing, the bustling riverbanks were illuminated by neon lights, surrounded by towering buildings. A bright moon reflected in the river was quickly shattered by a passing cruise ship. Once the ship passed, the fragmented moonlight merged back together, forming a tranquil full moon.
Luo Zheng sat quietly alone in a corner, disguised with a silicone mask, contrasting with the stylish men and women around him. He ordered a pot of tea to drink alone. Both tea and coffee can help maintain alertness, but Luo Zheng found that tea not only refreshes but also keeps the body sharp, whereas coffee tends to make the body lazy, reluctant to move. How coffee affects others, Luo Zheng was unsure, but as a soldier, he would never allow his body to become sluggish.
