After the meal, just before Jiang Yu and Liu Qiang departed, a set of keys was delivered. Zhou Hengyang stepped into the courtyard and exchanged a few words with the sender before placing the keys down and departing.
Liu Chun leaned against the window, peering out.
"Big Brother, what are you looking at?" Liu Qiang joined him, curious.
Liu Chun studied the scene intently, his body tense with anticipation. Suddenly, he moved so abruptly that Liu Qiang nearly stumbled over. Thankfully, he caught himself in time.
"Who's that? He was so secretive, not even showing his face," Liu Qiang remarked.
In the dimly lit courtyard, Zhou Hengyang and the figure who delivered the keys stood beneath a tree. The sender's back was turned toward the main courtyard, rendering his features indistinct. All Liu Qiang could discern was a shadowy figure standing at about ear level, radiating an air of authority.
