Chen Yi had no trouble guessing how Lou Yuxue must have felt.
She probably wanted to kill him right about now.
But he was not worried in the slightest.
For one thing, his identity was hidden well enough.
The only two people who knew were Wang Ji and Zhang Dabao. Even Liu Lang only knew that "Chen Yu" existed.
For Lou Yuxue to prove that "Liu Wu" was him, she would have to cross two barriers.
The difficulty was not especially great, but before Lou Yuxue broke through Liu Lang's protection, Chen Yi could find a way to patch things up.
And the second reason was simple—Lou Yuxue did not dare touch him.
At least, not for now.
First there was the Burning of Three Towns' Summer Grain and those three hundred thousand taels, then there was Bright Moon Tower and the Hidden Guard. Lou Yuxue had more or less some misgivings.
"Looking before and after" would not be an unfair description.
In short, Chen Yi had indeed placed himself upon the chessboard.
But this white stone of his was hidden deeply enough.
For the time being, he would not let anyone discover his existence.
Neither of them spoke along the way.
Chen Yi and Liu Lang wound their way back to the residence on Chuanxi Street.
After Black Tooth had killed Old Demon Fang last time, their trip went rather smoothly this time, and they did not notice anyone following them.
When they arrived at the main hall,
Liu Lang removed his conical hat, dropped onto a chair, and could not help asking,
"Boss, why did you go to Chunyu Tower tonight as well? I heard Black Tooth say that when you arrived, he nearly said something he shouldn't have."
"Who would have known you and Miss Lou..."
