Splash, splash...
The sound of rippling water reached his ears, and Chen Jie rushed over to the source, which lay in the backyard of the Yihong House.
The Yihong House's backyard boasted a high-end hot spring pool.
The pool water was comfortably warm, and within it, a waterwheel had been installed to channel the freshest warm water into a nearby luxurious outdoor bath.
However, this place was not open to the public, reserved for the exclusive enjoyment of the Yihong Building Owner and Qiao Hongyan.
The sound that Chen Jie heard was the working of the waterwheel in that pool.
When Chen Jie charged over, he saw a tall courtyard wall and immediately leaped toward the top of the wall.
Just as he peeked over, he suddenly saw a group of women standing in the courtyard, holding bath combs and soap pods, attending to a woman bathing in the pool.
The woman was seated in the hot spring, with only her snowy-white shoulders exposed.
