Night fell.
Xie Ming'an returned to his study.
He had originally planned to find Xie Suzhi to discuss the matter concerning Xie Yuanjiu.
In truth, the timing of Xie Yuanjiu's appearance at Mr. Zhang Liu's place was too coincidental, and he had many questions of his own.
However, to avoid tipping his hand, he could only return to the capital first and pretend the matter was settled.
He had wanted to discuss a few things with Xie Suzhi, but alas, his confidant came to find him instead.
"Second Young Master, just as you predicted, our other team was intercepted by the Master's men."
The candlelight flickered, and Xie Ming'an's gaze darkened.
Outside, the wind and snow howled, just like the storm in his heart.
"What about the other team? Did my father find out?"
The confidant clasped his hands. "Your foresight is godlike, Second Young Master. The Master never expected us to send out two teams. As a result, we've found some leads regarding Princess Funing's background."
