118 Phased Out

Ren Guotin addressed the maids: "Thank you both, you may carry on with what you where doing."

The maids obediently stepped aside to allow Li Xiuying and Yao Changying to pass. The group then silently walked to Ren Guiton's study.

When they reached the study everyone took a seat facing Ren Guotin's desk.

Ren Guotin: "I know that both of you have been trying to contact Daiyu and she has not been responding."

Both women stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

Ren Guotin cleared his throat awkwardly when he saw the blank faces of his audience: "Well quite a lot has happened. I'm not able to go into too much detail because it is up to Daiyu what she wants to divulge to you; additionally I'm not clear on the whole situation. Here's what I do know; Daiyu went out a few days ago and she somehow managed to cross paths with Dai Sying and Jin Ah Lam. I don't know what was said exactly but Daiyu came back looking lifeless and clutching something in her hand."
