As soon as Xu Huo got in, Xin Rong dropped his usual playful demeanor and said seriously, "When my people drove you back to the hotel yesterday, they noticed someone tailing you. I wanted to quietly take care of the problem for you, but the people I sent failed. Whoever it is will probably come after you again, so I came to pick you up."
"Don't stay at the hotel. My place is safer."
Xu Huo was a little surprised. "I'm not sure who's following me yet. I might bring trouble to your door."
"No big deal," Xin Rong said. "Nobody can hurt a friend of mine in Platinum Eye!"
"But you've only been in Platinum Eye for a few days, and you don't know many people. Did someone spot you showing off your wealth?"
"I'm not sure." Xu Huo only knew it might have something to do with Bai Kou. If she was involved, there were plenty of possibilities.
"Don't worry about it. You'll be fine at my place." Xin Rong then brought up how Xu Huo had come out of the Mechanical Castle. He'd sent people to look for Xu Huo, so of course he knew he'd gone to the Mechanical Castle first thing that morning.
"I have a friend in there," Xu Huo said vaguely.
"Your girlfriend, huh?" Xin Rong gave him a sly grin. "Judging by how drained you look coming out of there..."
Xu Huo turned to look at him, his expression blank.
Xin Rong's smile faded. "I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously. I've invited Liao Ying and the others over to play cards today. Want to join us?"
"Platinum Eye is a great place for Players to settle down. It's convenient for buying both props and weapons, and it's relatively safe.
