Di Mo nodded. "I need passage."

Lily, seeing the directness of both men, one cutting straight to the point and the other making a straightforward request, raised an eyebrow. She remained silent, standing behind Di Mo. She knew she had to explain things to Di Mo later. She realized that she wasn't seriously injured, and she didn't want Di Mo to think she defied his orders just to see a friend. That would be disastrous for her.

Fang frowned slightly. "Passage? Mr. Di, are you...?"

Before he could finish, Di Mo, understanding what Fang meant, nodded slightly. Fang's expression became hesitant.

Shu Kori, sitting next to Fang, smiled and suddenly spoke to Di Mo, "Mr. Di, our Fang Family doesn't have much business dealings with the Di Family. Your sudden request for passage to help you clear obstacles doesn't benefit us. In business, there must be benefits for investment. This is no small matter."
