Chapter 1010 - 1008, Hongmen Banquet
Shuimu Gang raised an eyebrow. "It seems I must meet them as well." It was rare for his wife to hold someone in such high regard.
"Then let’s invite them to dinner tonight. It’s a good opportunity to thank them for helping Yaenyaen," suggested Mrs. Shui.
"Alright!" Shuimu Gang nodded. He had always felt their timing in helping Yaenyaen was too coincidental, as if everything had been prearranged. However, after interrogating the people at Flower Moving Building, he hadn’t found anything suspicious. The seating arrangements for the pair had been organized by Flower Moving Building’s staff. Perhaps he was just overthinking.
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo had barely returned to their room when a servant from the City Lord’s Mansion came to announce that the city lord wished to invite them to dinner.
"Hanmo, do you think the city lord simply wants to invite us over, or does he have other motives?" Luo Shu twirled the teacup in her hand as she glanced at Lu Hanmo.
"Suspicion is inevitable. They will likely test us," Lu Hanmo replied. "Anyone capable of becoming city lord and managing a city so systematically is definitely not a simple person."
"Looks like this might be a Hongmen Banquet," Luo Shu chuckled as she shook her head. Even if they were suspected, no evidence would ever tie the incident to them. After all, Xiao Hei, who executed the move, was securely hidden within her spatial realm.
"Are you afraid?" Lu Hanmo smiled at her. He knew even a Hongmen Banquet wouldn’t faze his Shushu. Not even Shuimu Gang himself could intimidate her.
