1524 is actually him

The first floor was crowded, so there were many people lining up for the restroom; it took Tan Rou three minutes of waiting before it was her turn. When she emerged from the restroom, she spotted a vaguely familiar face in the café.

Wasn't that Kudu, a close confidant of Prince Busodi? What was he doing here?

Tan Rou hid herself briefly among a crowd, then quietly observed where Kudu was heading. When she saw Kudu move towards the second floor, her first thought was that he was going to meet Monica.

But that might not necessarily be the case. What if Kudu had arranged to meet friends here too? Moreover, even if he was here to meet Monica, it wouldn't be a big issue; Monica was the wife of Busodi, and Kudu was a trusted individual by Busodi. It was perfectly normal for them to know each other.

It wasn't until Kudu began ascending the stairs to the second floor that Tan Rou quietly followed at a distance, careful enough to avoid being noticed by him.
