Su Chengyu, upon leaving the Ye residence, didn't head straight back to Qilong Court. Instead, he went to an ordinary-looking flower and bird market.
In this market mainly frequented by the common folk, Su Chengyu experienced what felt like the everyday life of ordinary people for the first time in a long while.
Unbeknownst to him, it had been a long time since such normalcy had been a part of his life.
"Sir doesn't look like he's here to make a purchase."
In a regular flower and bird shop, a plainly dressed woman set down a pot of meticulously cared for plants and then looked up to speak.
Looking at the woman who had obviously masked her face, Su Chengyu smiled and said: "Indeed, I am not here to buy anything, but I am indeed here to talk business."
The woman glanced at Su Chengyu, thought for a moment, and seemingly guessing his identity, said: "I really didn't expect you to come to us at this critical moment."
