A Show

As Liang Xinyi moved forward toward the pair, the waiter who had served Liang Xinyi the glass of champagne slowly backed away. Looking in the direction of where Fenghuang Niao stood, he made a barely noticeable signal and left the banquet hall.

The waiter walked down the corridor outside the banquet hall, where, at the end of the pathway, there were two figures standing solemnly waiting. One of the men turned and whispered, "It's been settled, boss."

Huo Tingxiao glanced toward the figure on his right and met the eyes of the waiter who was at his side. He nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

The other waiter bowed, adjusted his silver tray, and walked back into the banquet hall.

The one waiter was the one who had served Liang Xinyi and the other one was the one who had worked with Han Yaotian. The two had coordinated their timing perfectly.
