"Just now... we had to put on an act! There's nobody else here now! Why keep pretending?"
A server came over to take their order.
Song Ning ordered more than half a page of the specialty dim sum, asked for double portions, and had the two bodyguards sit at the next table.
Then she ordered a pot of tea.
The dim sum arrived a few dishes at a time.
Song Ning told Chen Liang and Han Xiao to sit down and start eating. They had only grabbed a light lunch, and it was dinnertime already.
The two bodyguards had long since had enough of watching them and immediately turned their attention to filling their stomachs.
Mostly... out of sight, out of mind!
Song Ning turned to Gu Zheng. "Hurry up and eat! Once you're full, get going!"
The dim sum was small and delicate, all Harbor City specialties.
It covered the entire table.
Gu Zheng clutched his chest instead. "My chest suddenly feels tight. I can't eat!"
Seeing him grow more and more outrageous, Song Ning was just about to lose her temper when she spotted a woman of twenty-seven or twenty-eight at the restaurant entrance.
Her clothes and accessories looked expensive, but her face was haggard.
Two bodyguards followed behind her.
Song Ning had only seen a small photograph of Li Lingshan in the newspaper, and the print had been blurry.
Now the woman stood at the entrance without coming inside, looking around.
Song Ning immediately waved to her.
The woman spotted her and walked over.
She came straight to Song Ning's table, looked her over, then swept her gaze across Gu Zheng's face before asking:
"Were you the one who called me?"
Hearing her speak Cantonese confirmed her identity for Song Ning.
"Miss Li! Please sit down!"
