When Yuan Shan asked her question, Huang Zhixun also stared at Fu Qian with a cold expression.
In his view, while his own actions on the street had been somewhat inappropriate, Fu Qian's earlier behavior was clearly even harder to explain.
As long as he stuck to that point, his own actions could at most be called reckless.
Why had he appeared there?
Faced with Yuan Shan's question, Fu Qian seemed deep in thought, looking as if he was struggling to answer.
"You're not going to argue that the person wasn't you, are you?"
Huang Zhixun sneered repeatedly from the side.
"Of course not! A real man owns up to what he does."
Fu Qian snorted.
"I did go there, but I left afterward."
"I know. That was after the new mayor announced he wouldn't be taking office for the time being, right?"
Huang Zhixun pressed him aggressively.
"That's right."
Fu Qian looked perfectly honest.
"So what exactly was your reason for going there?"
Huang Zhixun asked quickly, leaving Fu Qian no time to think.
"Isn't it obvious? Someone asked me to keep an eye on the new mayor."
Hm?
Huang Zhixun was instantly both shocked and delighted. He hadn't expected Fu Qian to admit it so openly.
"You're quite honest. Who asked you?"
"Who else?"
Fu Qian looked up at Yuan Shan. As everyone stared at him, he gave a meaningful smile.
"Someone from the Gullard Family."
"...What?"
For a moment, Huang Zhixun just gaped at him, dumbfounded.
"Someone from the Gullard Family asked you to keep an eye on the new mayor?"
Before he could voice his opinion, Yuan Shan spoke, looking thoughtful.
"That's right."
Fu Qian still looked as though he wouldn't tell a lie.
"Impossible!"
Before Yuan Shan could ask anything else, Huang Zhixun practically shouted.
