Although she didn't know Honma, it was easy enough for Lanaia to use her connections to find someone.
But as they made their way there, she grew somewhat quiet.
The way things were unfolding was so strange that, for a moment, she didn't know how to react.
From the exchange between Fu Qian and Qiao Yanchuan just now, she'd sensed something was off. Fu Qian was clearly investigating something.
But at least from her perspective, there was nothing unusual about Qiao Yanchuan.
If it had nothing to do with Supernatural Power, then even if he really was involved in some shady business, Fu Qian was sticking his nose in far too much.
"Qiao Yanchuan might not have been telling the whole truth."
After turning it over in her mind and still not making sense of it, Lanaia finally sighed.
"I know."
Unexpectedly, Fu Qian answered at once, agreeing with her.
"You know?"
Now it was Lanaia's turn to be surprised.
From Qiao Yanchuan's subtle expressions and movements, she'd had a vague feeling he might be hiding something. She hadn't expected Fu Qian to have reached the same conclusion.
Then why had he let Qiao Yanchuan off so easily?
"Of course. Why else would I visit two people?"
Fu Qian gave her a meaningful look.
"Why would I make the mistake of thinking someone would tell me everything just because I gave them a scare?"
"Old Master Qiao's a seasoned Jianghu hand. He may or may not be a coward, but he's definitely slippery. Unless you put a knife to his throat, he won't be completely honest."
"I just couldn't be bothered to keep at it. It would've wasted too much time."
"So you're looking for this Honma to see whether their stories conflict? You had it planned from the start."
