That night, Sifuer hosted a banquet to welcome Gu Shenghui and others, but not all the members from the Investigation Office attended. Only Gu Shenghui and Pei Yan were present.
Compared to Pei Yan's previous hardline stance, Gu Shenghui, the old fox, behaved much more smoothly. Not only did he have a pleasant conversation with Sifuer, but he quickly became as close as brothers with Bailang, making Pei Yan feel that Bailang's gaze toward him changed from that of an equal to an elder admiring an excellent junior.
This time, Pei Yan found himself with not much to do. Besides continuously introducing incoming guests to Gu Shenghui, he stood silently behind him like an obedient disciple. One must admit that the ginger gets spicier as it ages; by the end of the banquet, it seemed that Gu Shenghui said everything yet revealed no useful information to the other party, while extracting quite a lot of information from Sifuer that Pei Yan was previously unaware of.
