Chương 161: 6.1 Echoes of a Fractured Melody's Shell

When Cass opened his eyes, his surroundings gradually came into focus—a private plane, spacious and serene. His gaze wandered to the quartet seated across from him, each figure distinct in the ambient light.  

Two young men, one with a studious air about him, focused on his computer, while the other, with a hint of vulnerability, rested his head upon his companion's shoulder. Facing them, a poised couple in their forties exuded an aura of sophistication. 

Feeling a sense of security, Cass reclined in his seat, absorbing the unfamiliar yet intriguing details of this world. 

The shell was Zheng Yaxin, a 19-year-old whose lineage traced back to the esteemed Zheng family, renowned for their vast wealth and influence.  

Yaxin's parents, pillars of the community, held esteemed positions—his father, a versatile investor, and his mother, Weiwei, a revered healer known for her mastery of both medicine and music.
