"If you guys run into any trouble, just call me at any time."
"Okay," Gu Tingyun nodded slightly before leaving the Jade Exchange Meeting with Guibao.
The pair didn't rush to hail a taxi back to the hotel, instead, they meandered and enjoyed themselves along the way.
Two men were trailing them sneakily from behind with shifty eyes.
Gu Tingyun and Helian Qiao had noticed they were being followed quite early on but didn't mind, continuing to eat and drink as the streets of Harbor City were dotted with various street food vendors.
"Egg waffles, sweet and soft egg waffles!"
"Delicious and affordable, economy cart noodles,"
"Curry fish balls, springy and smooth, come and give them a try!"
...
Helian Qiao's attention was captured, and she hurried Gu Tingyun over to a street lined with snacks. "Boss, two of those, please!"
"Right away!" The vendor enthusiastically responded, lighting the stove to start cooking amidst swirling smoke and bustling activity.
