Lin Wenhua was genuinely a little surprised.
He truly had not expected that, aside from himself, someone else had already found Long Tianding first.
As for why one of the three former leaders of The Forgotten was here too, could it be...
"As you can see."
Shen Qin did not hide it. "My reason for coming to see City Lord Long is probably similar to yours, Old Lin?"
"...Miss Nan is friends with City Lord Long too?"
Lin Wenhua's eyes shifted, but he chose to brush it off with words first. "I only came to meet City Lord Long to reunite with an old friend. I hadn't heard that among the people he knows, there was someone like you."
To be honest, although Shen Qin had been frank with him, he could not fully trust her.
Or rather, he could not completely trust these outsider "Forgotten" in the first place—whether he looked down on them was one thing, but their stance was unclear too, wasn't it?
Especially from his perspective, what grudge could Shen Qin, or "Nan Qian," possibly have against Xu Shi? On the contrary, in his eyes, after Xu Shi had personally appointed Xia Wuyou as head of the Field Operations Department, Shen Qin, as her deputy, had also been promoted from acting to full status. She had just been promoted, and now she was already thinking of turning traitor? That inevitably gave him some concerns.
"Old Lin, there's no need to beat around the bush. You don't suspect I'm Xu Shi's spy, do you?"
Seeing his expression, Shen Qin merely smiled disdainfully. "The truth is, we Forgotten have long hated Xu Shi to the bone. Every moment, we think of nothing but getting rid of him as quickly as possible."
She did not doubt Lin Wenhua.
