At the foot of the mountain, an unusual commotion filled the air.

Tiger Mountain had never imagined that, after a lifetime of being shunned, it would ever have such a moment of glory. The very people who had once avoided it like the plague were now gathered neatly at its gates, waiting for it to open.

Ian stepped out of his car with a clear purpose, striding straight to the iron gate. Looking at the man inside, he said, “Open the gate. I’m going in to find someone.”

The gatekeeper remained still, standing behind the gate with an uneasy expression.

“Mr. Holmes, Mr. Adler has given strict orders that no one is allowed in. You’ll have to wait outside–he should be down soon.”

Ian let out a sharp, incredulous laugh. “My nephew was taken inside, made filthy by Richard’s hands, and you expect me to just wait? If it were your family, would you be able to stay calm?”

His voice dripped with frustration, every word gritted through clenched teeth.

“There’s nothing I can do,” the gatekeeper replied, giving up on explanations. He raised a hand and pointed in a direction, signaling lan to look.

“This isn’t just about you. No one gets in without Mr. Adler’s approval–not even Kelvin.”

“Kelvin?” Ian narrowed his eyes and glanced at a car nearby, recognizing the license plate. It really was him.

The thought of how foolishly he had been deceived by Kelvin earlier made Ian grind his molars in frustration.

Abandoning his quarrel with the gatekeeper, he walked straight to the car and yanked the door open.

Inside, the man looked up at him, his expression slightly puzzled. From this angle, he appeared refined, even innocent- making Ian’s frustration seem almost unreasonable.

“Move over,” Ian snapped.

Kelvin shifted aside, making room for him.

Once the door shut, Ian wasted no time. “We’ve been friends since childhood, and I trusted you enough to leave Yvonne in your care–this is how you repay me? And don’t even think about dodging the question: what’s the deal between Yvonne and Richard? How did he lead her astray like this?”

Kelvin waited for Ian to finish his rant before responding, his voice cool and direct. “You guessed right–Richard has already given Tiger Mountain to her.”
