Waits

Zhong Xiu sat in the room in another courtyard of the Heavenly Wu Chamber of Commerce. The green jade bracelet that Shi Mu had previously gifted her was in her hand. However, there wasn't a trace of serenity on her face at this time. Her beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled upwards, and her eyes were suffused with anxiousness.

"Big Brother Shi, it doesn't matter if you can't retrieve that thing. I only want you to get back here… safe and sound..." Zhong Xiu clasped the bracelet in her hands, and held it in front of her chest. She then muttered to herself.

But then, her facial expression froze, and she immediately took out a jade plate from her waist. A row of small letters appeared on the surface of that plate with a flash of light. They then disappeared the next moment.

...

The second day... at noon...

Wang Rui Kun, Zhong Xiu, the enchanting woman, and some other people of the Chamber of Commerce assembled in the main hall. They were apparently waiting for something.
