1145 Secret Meeting

After reporting what happened in Shanghai in a low voice, Xue Zengmei finally concluded. "I have no idea what Tang Xiu has in mind. But he asked me to come back ahead of time, informing you to find a secret place. He also wants this meeting to be kept secret and nobody else other than you and I must know about this meeting."

Xue Guanzhong was silent for a long time. He then slowly said, "Whether it's a blessing or a calamity, we can never avoid the latter. House Tang of Beijing has power the Xues can't contend with. It's absolutely very easy if he wants to obliterate our family. I feel that he has other purposes in mind."

"What should we do, then, Father?" asked Xue Zengmei.

"He's looking for me for some secret issues, so we really can't let anyone learn about it," said Xue Guanzhong. "Hence, you're to contact and tell him that I'll be waiting for him at the Mid-lake Pavilion."
