Chapter 117.3: What Need is There for Men to Make Things Difficult for Other Men (1/2)

Tang Doudou looked at the two with a smile that didn’t quite seem like a smile. “What were you two chatting about that got you guys so absorbed in the conversation?”

“It’s just some funny news… Waiter, are there any private rooms left?”

“There are. Dear customers, this way please.”

Gu Xun hastily shifted topics when he saw that Tang Doudou was suspicious of them. He called over the waiter and gave instructions. Then the waiter led them upstairs to a private room.

Tang Doudou had been actually been eavesdropping on their conversation near the door. She had purposefully asked them what they were doing in order to avoid suspicion.

From the looks of it, it was 90% certain that the person that escaped was Baili Yu.

However, why was he by himself? Where were the maids? And where did he go?

Tang Doudou couldn’t figure out what exactly happened so for the time being, she could only focus on taking cautious steps forward.

They entered the private room and sat down. Before their seats had even warmed, a ‘whoosh’ came from outside the window as an unidentified object headed straight towards Tang Doudou’s face.

Tang Doudou was scared to the point the back of her head was covered with cold sweat. She couldn’t react at all. Just when she thought she was done for, she saw Gu Xun flick his sleeve and strike that object down.

The object hit the ground with a ‘clang’. It seemed to be some sort of small weapon.

Tang Doudou, whose heart was still beating rapidly in lingering fear, couldn’t bring herself to look at it at first. However, she feigned calmness. Lifting the teacup, she took a light sip before slowly lowering her head to look at it.

Gu Xun had already gotten up and walked over. He stooped down to pick up the object and placed it on the table.

It was a rusted arrowhead. It was stabbed through a faint yellow paper that seemed to be casually folded. The black handwriting inside could be seen through the back of the paper.

“Alliance Head Li,” said Gu Xun.
