In a small restaurant not far from Langxing, Jin Meng gulped down noodles while summoning the waiter, "A bottle of Coke, please." Then she looked up and asked Xia Lu sitting opposite, "Do you want one?"
Xia Lu shook her head, her mind fully occupied with the conversation she just had with Jin Fengnan, leaving her with no appetite to eat anything.
"One bottle." Jin Meng signaled the number one to the waiter and sighed as she turned back, "Hey, there's no need to be like this. It's not like we caused this. Besides, he invited us over for a meal; at least we should eat our fill before leaving. And now, we agreed to help, but left hungry, not knowing who's actually asking for help."
Xia Lu turned to look out the window and saw Karen, wearing sunglasses, emerging from the alley.
