When the two seniors were about to leave, Yao Shaolan courteously said, "I have already booked a private room at the nearby Black Bull Cuisine. Why don't the two of you at least stay for a meal before leaving? We can continue to chat while enjoying the food."
Eat what? There was nothing more to discuss! The two seniors immediately declined.
After getting up, Yu Shangzhen, still somewhat unwilling, asked, "Junior Qian, in your opinion, could Yu Honglian and the others be trapped somewhere?"
Qian Guran had actually hinted at Yu Honglian's situation earlier with the words, "Senior Lin Qingshuang came to Qi Yuan specifically to find me to investigate the death of her disciple Lin Hua Lei, just like how the two seniors came to find me today."
But such hints were only understood by Qian Guran himself. Seeing Yu Shangzhen ask this, he answered cooperatively, "Of course, we can't rule out that possibility; perhaps they have encountered a unique opportunity."
