Extra 358-3: A Meeting, Grandpa's Demeanor

It was still January, and the old street was crowded.

The tea house was at the end of the road, a solitary courtyard all by itself.

Meng Shu had heard about this tea room; the person backing it was no minor figure, and it only entertained a limited number of guests each day, in a quiet atmosphere.

The first time Meng Shu came here, as soon as he pushed the door open and entered, he saw the lacquered wooden square tables in the hall, and several old men speaking in low voices in the courtyard.

Once the courtyard door closed again, it shut out the noise from the outside.

Following the carved wooden staircase next to him, he went up to the private rooms on the upper floor.

Ji Heng gave the number of the private room, and someone led him towards the back; the room was at the very end of the second floor. Outside the room stood two men in black casual wear, their eyes sharp and imposing, looking rather formidable.

They weren't Jiangjing's guards, and Ji Heng didn't recognize them.
