Crimson Shadow didn't say a word. He had known for a long time that the master was ill, so he wasn't particularly shocked. His heart was unwaveringly loyal to Gu Shaocheng. He wasn't much of a talker to begin with, spending his days immersed in games. All he said was: "Mm."
As for the others, they weren't the type to make grand declarations of absolute loyalty. But when it came down to it, their loyalty ran bone-deep, without an ounce of pretense.
"Thank you." This was what Gu Shaocheng said.
Just then, a phone call came in.
"Sir, we've captured someone in the courtyard of Young Master Hua's villa. We found some of Young Master Hua's belongings on him. He claims to be The Great Lai and asks to see you."
Gu Shaocheng wasn't in the mood to deal with it. He issued a curt command: "Keep the belongings, release him, and tell him I won't meet him."
