Mr. Bei Cenxiao said he would arrive in fifteen minutes, and indeed, he came right on time.
Fifteen minutes, not a minute more, not a minute less...
However, when he arrived, his face was severely swollen and he seemed quite unhappy: "Didn't you say he was coming?"
"You said fifteen minutes, but he never said he'd arrive in fifteen minutes..."
Bai Cenxiao was momentarily speechless, but his face remained quite swollen. Lu Zhanbei was unfazed: "It's good that you came early. Before Rong Jinchen arrives, let's discuss some serious matters first..."
In other words, once Rong Jinchen arrives, they won't be able to discuss serious matters.
This remark...
Bai Cenxiao understood the implication. His swollen face eased considerably, and he cut straight to the point without hesitation: "I've heard about that matter, but elder Mr. Gu is keeping it under wraps, so I can't openly help you take down Ling Dawei, he won't be pleased..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhanbei understood.
