Qi Four had been waiting outside Chao's house. When he saw Ning Que, he heaved a sigh of relief and brought him into the house while he informed Ning Que of the recent happenings in a low whisper.
It was late at night, but the lights in the main hall of Chao's house were bright. There were many sitting there quietly and the atmosphere was tense. They would smile warmly when they looked at the old man sitting at the front, but the smiles always seemed forced.
Qi Four brought Ning Que to the hall. Everyone stood up, wrapped a hand around their fist and bowed before introducing themselves.
"Chang III, Chang Siwei"
"Liu V, Liu Si."
"Fei VI, Fei Jingwei."
"Chen VII."
