Xiao Wan arrived at Club Eclipse, her heart pounding. She spotted a figure in the shadows.
"Ghost?" she whispered.
The figure stepped forward, revealing a hooded face.
"I'm glad you came," Ghost said, voice distorted.
Xiao Wan's eyes adjusted to the dim light.
"What do you know about Victor?" she asked.
Ghost handed her a folder.
"Victor's planning something big. Eclipse is just the beginning."
Xiao Wan's eyes scanned the documents.
"What's Project: Nova?"
Ghost's voice dropped to a whisper.
"A powerful AI system. Victor intends to sell it to the highest bidder."
Xiao Wan's grip on the folder tightened.
"I need to tell Li Zhe."
Ghost's hooded face nodded.
"But be careful. Victor has eyes everywhere."
Suddenly, the lights flickered.
"Time's up," Ghost said, disappearing into the shadows.
Xiao Wan rushed out of the club, determination burning within.
Back at the mansion, Li Zhe waited, concern etched on his face.
"Where were you?" he asked.
Xiao Wan hesitated.
"I... went for a walk."
Li Zhe's eyes narrowed.
"Xiao Wan, I know you're hiding something."
Their gazes locked, tension crackling.
Just then, Ling Ling burst in.
"Uncle Li Zhe! I found something!"
Ling Ling held up a small device.
"What is it?" Xiao Wan asked.
Ling Ling's eyes sparkled.
"I think it's a bug!"
Li Zhe's expression darkened.
"Victor's watching us."
