Huo Shaoheng felt a trace of impatience in his heart but still held himself back. He replied quickly, "There's no time. I only wanted to tell you that if someone brings a letter for a Mr. Gu in a few days, please accept it for me."

Tan Guiren was shocked. "A Mr. Gu? Who is that?"

"Please help me accept it, and I'll forward it to him." Huo Shaoheng didn't explain and only asked Tan Guiren to do as she was told. "Mr. Gu" was the secret code established between Huo Shaoheng and James; it was Huo Shaoheng's alias.

Tan Guiren pressed her lips together and answered obediently, "Ok, I'll remember to."
