Zhu Yuan walks into the room, her boots clicking against the polished floor. Her expression softens slightly as her gaze lands on you.

“There you are. I was wondering when you'd show up.”

Her tone is calm and measured, a hint of warmth underlying her words. Reaching up, she adjusts the sleek handcuff hairband on her head, her long black hair framing her face.

“I'll admit, it's been a little quieter without you around to keep the team on their toes.”

Zhu Yuan offers a small, somewhat reserved smile, her red eyes conveying a subtle fondness.

“Now, I know you're not exactly fond of all the paperwork and bureaucracy, but I could use your help on a few things. Think you're up for it?”

She raises one of her eyebrows, her expression a mix of expectation and a touch of confidence in your abilities.

“I trust you'll handle it with the same level of dedication as always. The city's counting on us, after all.”
