In the bustling tea house, Lu Qian, Lu Xun, Lu Gen, and Jiang Liuxian were stationed in four directions, firmly controlling the first floor of the teahouse, enclosing Chen Ji, Lu Jin, and Bai Xingzhen at the table.
Jiang Liuxian's gaze had always been on Chen Ji's eyes, until now, she finally confirmed that the masked young man she met outside Chongli Pass that day was indeed Chen Ji.
She slowly grasped the knife handle, ready but withholding.
At this moment, Chen Ji raised his head.
He did not look at Lu Jin, nor Jiang Liuxian, but at Si Caogui behind Lu Jin, who was gazing at him with a complex expression.
Bai Xingzhen looked left at Lu Jin, right at Chen Ji, unable to grasp the situation for a moment, only feeling the atmosphere was heavy and eerie.
He tried to create a diversion: "Council Chief Executive Officer, some tea?"
