INT. BIANJING GUARD POST - NIGHT
GUARD CAPTAIN and OFFICIAL ZHANG stand in a dimly lit guard post, reviewing reports of increased security breaches and suspicious activities near the palace. Their faces are tense, their conversation hushed.

(Sternly) "We'll conduct a thorough investigation. Anyone with access to sensitive information is a suspect. We cannot afford any more leaks."
ANGLE ON: LIST OF NAMES
The guard captain lays out a list of names on the table, each one a potential informant or spy. Aiyue's name is not on the list, but it's clear that the net is tightening, and the officials are becoming increasingly desperate to root out the dissent.
