Lub Su and a few others were drinking tea in the Political Office, leisurely chatting about all sorts of things. This was a lifestyle habit brought about by Chen Xi.
"Ziyang, what do you think Boning would do if he happened upon Zichuan strolling around? I'm quite optimistic about the prospect of Zichuan getting caught," Lub Su said with a smile on his face.
"He would definitely get caught, but he wouldn't be brought back, I believe. Zichuan must have thought of a good excuse before he even left the house, and it's surely legitimate," Liu Ye said, a smile flickering across his face as he imagined the scenario. Then, remembering Chen Xi's nature of planning ahead, he made a guess and continued.
"I think so too," Jian Yong said, taking a sip of tea. "Boning might be ruthless upon catching sight of him, detain him, but before he could be brought back, Zichuan would probably have already persuaded Boning."
