A nondescript Volkswagen sedan was quietly parked by the roadside outside a secure and serene villa community.
Inside the car, Ah Liang furrowed his brow, exuding some impatience, and asked the corpulent Feng Peng beside him, "Are you sure it's here? We've been watching for three whole days, haven't seen a soul."
Feng Peng wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand and said in a low voice with certainty, "It's definitely here, no mistake. Among Gu Zhenbang's trusted aides, Xu Xiang is the closest to him.
Xu Xiang knew Gu Zhenbang even earlier than I did, and we often had meals together in the first half of the year. But in the past two months, Gu Zhenbang has distanced himself from me, and the meetings with them have become fewer and fewer."
