SACRIFICIAL LAMB (2)

Shi Fan Hai looked at the window on the second floor where Teng Man Rui's room was located. He entered the Teng mansion's premises again.

On the way back, he met with the Teng patriarch and matriarch as they were heading out of their mansion.

"Oh, you're still here, young master Shi. What can we do for you?"

"Master, madame, I would like to speak privately with Man Rui to clear any misunderstandings between us."

"That's a good idea. Don't let misunderstandings drag. Alright. You two talk it out. We're heading out for a gathering."

Madame Teng instructed the maid to fetch the young lady and to relay her mother's orders to come down and meet with Shi Fan Hai.

The Teng patriarch and matriarch did not linger after giving out instructions.
