Someone came looking from the city?
Yue Jiandong frowned, unable to discern the situation.
He only heard the noise outside growing louder and closer to his own home.
He hesitated, then walked to the door and opened the gate of the outer courtyard.
There stood Zheng Tianbo, travel-worn, his suit stained with many streaks of grey and white from dust, looking more disheveled than when they first met.
Upon seeing Yue Jiandong, he couldn't help but complain, "You've given me quite a hunt."
Zheng Tianbo's face bore a wry smile; his boss had ordered him to cooperate with Yue Jiandong as soon as possible and, incidentally, deliver a gift to the Yue Family.
But he had been waiting, to no avail, for days on end.
Fearing accusations of incompetence, Zheng Tianbo had no choice but to find a way on his own.
Fortunately, Yue Jiandong had mentioned they were from Daye Village, at least giving Zheng Tianbo a direction to follow.
