Dong dong——dong dong dong——
It was the two-plus-three knock again.
Only after the brothel madam heard the "come in" from inside did she push open the door and stand at the entrance, saying, "Sir, Mr. Huang has arrived."
"Mhm," the man acknowledged, already rising to his feet and walking towards the door, bowing with his fist in his palm, "Master Huang, I have long admired your esteemed name."
Huang Donglai was also sizing up the newcomer while returning the gesture, "Well said, Huang is merely mediocre, may I ask how I should address you…"
"My friends honor me with the title 'Sir,'" the man interjected.
"Oh~" Huang Donglai also bowed, saying, "Well then, I too must respectfully comply…"
Though he did not say much outwardly, in his heart, he knew this was a tough nut to crack—a person who wouldn't even divulge his real name was surely harboring many secrets.
