Gu Chengyu went downstairs, then looked back, but couldn't see that group of people anymore; they must have entered the private room upstairs. Gu Chengyu felt that this group was somewhat unusual; he could even smell the scent of blood on them. They walked with a strong, rhythmic stride, but all had sullen expressions, especially the one leading them.
"Have you gentlemen eaten your fill?" Shopkeeper Niu was downstairs attending to guests and immediately approached when he saw Gu Chengyu and his companions coming over.
Gu Chengyu noticed Shopkeeper Niu was looking rosy-faced, appearing noticeably chubbier. It seemed he hadn't skimped on the restaurant's dishes! He pulled Shopkeeper Niu aside, advising him to pay attention to the group who had just gone upstairs, to avoid any mishaps.
At this time, Gu Chengyu was unaware that he had just brushed past an important figure.
