Never Considered him a Son

Sheng Li tied Kongqi from a tree in the forest. "Stay here. I will be back soon," Sheng Li patted Kongqi's face. Tying the handkerchief around his face, he turned and walked out of the forest as quickly as he could. 

He easily sneaked inside the residence of Gu Zhenya. There was not much security which made it easy for him to enter the main house. Whenever the house servants would come in his way, he hid behind the pillars, thus preventing himself from getting noticed. 

Suddenly he heard the noises– the loud voices made him think of some kind of party going on in the house. He followed the voices and saw the illuminance from the chief room of the main house. It was not surprising for him to see almost every Minister in that room. Gu Zhenya was seated at the main table, enjoying the wine with the other ministers. Sheng Li stayed at a safe distance from them so that they could not notice him. However, he could check on their activities.
