It really didn't fit Yuan Shan's character. The whole thing felt a bit like a Hongmen Banquet.
That was Fu Qian's first reaction after reading Yuan Shan's letter.
But after thinking it over, he decided not to put the letter back and pretend he hadn't seen it.
For one thing, he'd done more than his share in the Divine Envoy incident.
Even if Yuan Shan really did mean him harm, she probably hadn't even recovered from her injuries yet. She wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Most importantly, even if they ambushed him at the Night Watcher's base, he could always take off his mask and leave.
So he might as well go see what Yuan Shan was really after.
"Mr. Fang, please follow me."
To his surprise, after he announced his arrival, the person who came out to receive him was Yuan Shan's secretary. Xiao Mingyue, if he remembered correctly?
He recalled that after being ambushed and caught off guard, she'd gone for psychological treatment. It seemed she'd recovered pretty quickly.
But the Xiao Mingyue standing here now was a far cry from the person she'd been before.
Not only was she much more subdued, but she was also exceedingly respectful in the way she spoke. She even seemed afraid to meet Fu Qian's eyes.
It seemed she'd learned a great deal from this incident.
Fu Qian didn't say much. He just gave a knowing "Mm," putting on the air of a master, and let her lead the way.
"You're much more diligent than I expected."
Before long, Fu Qian was face-to-face with Yuan Shan, who still looked somewhat listless.
She was lounging lazily in a recliner, smiling as she greeted him.
"You too."
Fu Qian didn't bother with pleasantries. He sat down opposite her.
"How's Logan doing?"
