If he had not followed Leng Yueyan today, Lin Shuguang would never have known that a secret passage was hidden in the Shopping Street near Black Prison.
Two burly men guarding the passage entrance blocked their way.
Leng Yueyan handed over two sheets of gold paper. After verifying them, the burly men handed each of them a mask and opened the passage entrance. Leng Yueyan motioned for Lin Shuguang to put on his mask and follow her, and they both went inside.
With a bang, the door closed again.
Lin Shuguang looked back, but Leng Yueyan tugged at his sleeve. Turning his head to look at her, he fell silent for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and stopped looking around.
This underground Black Street was far more bustling than Lin Shuguang had imagined, with quite a few pedestrians on the road.
They walked side by side for several minutes before finally stopping outside a shop that looked like a small convenience store.
Leng Yueyan knocked on the door.
Lin Shuguang was not deaf, so he easily noticed the pauses in her knocking and could not help looking up.
Just then, the shop door opened, revealing a white-haired old man who looked rather shabby. Apparently suffering from failing eyesight, he opened the door a crack and peered at Leng Yueyan several times before seeming to remember who she was. "Young Miss?"
He immediately fell silent and quickly opened the door to let Leng Yueyan through. But when he noticed Lin Shuguang behind her, the little old man froze.
"Prepare a room. I need to refine pills." Leng Yueyan skipped the small talk and gave her instructions briskly.
"Yes..." The little old man was taken aback at first, seemingly not expecting the Young Miss to choose to refine pills so late
