"What happened?"
Seeing Li Pu's pancake-flat face suddenly loom over him like a dark cloud blotting out the sky, Ye Qianfan hastily lay back down.
Only then did Shen Lang pull Li Pu away. "Let the Station Chief get up first!"
"Oh, right!"
Li Pu finally moved aside.
Shen Lang's unhurried manner set Ye Qianfan's mind somewhat at ease. Unlike Li Pu, Shen Lang didn't jump at every little thing. Whatever had happened couldn't be particularly urgent, or Shen Lang wouldn't have held Li Pu back and would have explained it himself instead.
Sure enough...
Once Ye Qianfan sat up, Li Pu said, "Station Chief, listen! Someone's here to steal our business!"

"Oh, right!"
Ye Qianfan's reminder made Li Pu see the light at once.

Of course...
Ye Qianfan actually wanted to confirm whether this Daoist was the fellow who had driven corpses and chased that dark figure last night.
If it was
