Quan Yong had held back.
This was a situation Li Fuchan had anticipated long ago.
Otherwise, his false body would never even have come face-to-face with Quan Yong, much less escaped from his grasp.
Quan Yong holding back only confirms my suspicions. He has already stepped into my scheme. Next, to probe my depths, he will certainly make one move after another. But I still don't understand—how exactly did he find me?
