Li Banfeng did not recognize Zheng Siyi. Though the latter seemed sincere, Li Banfeng still took precautions before going to the banquet.
The dining venue was Yanyun Tower, Bridge Yesong's most famous restaurant, situated close to Yanyun Lake. At nightfall, looking out from the upper floors towards the lake, the rising mist resembled blue smoke connecting with the clouds in the sky. It was one of Bridge Yesong's great wonders.
Arriving at the private room, Zheng Siyi stood respectfully at the doorway, not entering. The one who wanted to invite Li Qi to dine wasn't him but Liao Zihui, who was waiting inside.
"Chief Envoy Liao?" Li Banfeng smiled. "When did you arrive at Bridge Yesong? Surely, you didn't come specifically for me, did you?"
Liao Zihui smiled and said, "I had other matters to handle, but now, only your affair remains. Brother Li, please take a seat. Let's talk while we eat."
