"Weren't you two in Foshan? I was thinking of setting out tomorrow."
Meeting old friends far from home, Lian Youming smiled with delight.
Chewing on an ice pop, Wu Jiu drawled, "Couldn't get used to staying in Foshan, so we came out for a look around. Yang Shuang said you lived here, so we came to see you. But when we saw you had a sweetheart in your room, we didn't like to interrupt. We could only wait out here."
There was something behind those words.
Liu Wudi first grinned, but his face soon fell, and he started cursing. "Fucking bastard! Some rotten son of a bitch deliberately screwed me over, saying that Green Gang expert of the Tong generation was called Liu Wudi. Had me scared out of my wits every day. I've even lost a fair bit of hair. Now I don't dare give out my name. I'd be better off calling myself Liu Danaodai."
Lian Youming gave the pair a sidelong, amused look. They hadn't seen each other in so long, yet the moment they met, one was dropping hints and the other was cursing him in a roundabout way.
Still, he was happy.
These days had truly been far too dull and monotonous.
"What are you standing around for? Come upstairs and sit down."
Baring his teeth, Wu Jiu bit chunks of ice off his ice pop, then dropped a bombshell. "You'd better watch out. Gan Xuantong is in Hong Kong." "I see." The delight gradually faded from Lian Youming's face as he nodded. "The White Lotus Sect Master seems to have come south too. That explains it. Things are going to get lively. I was planning to find some time to go over there myself."
Lian Youming was certain he hadn't been mistaken about that
