Before the feigned negotiators could even speak, Shi Chun, who had approached both sides, turned his back to Gong Shixi's group and whispered to Gu Lianni, "Follow me, let's go tamper with something. The others should keep pretending to negotiate."
Xu Anzhang asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Shi Chun replied, "Don't worry, I won't get you involved."
Gu Lianni, who had been pretending to be impatient, was also curious as to what Shi Chun was up to, so she instructed Yuan Yao to continue negotiating with Xu Anzhang.
Yuan Yao obeyed, but when Gu Lianni was taken away, he couldn't help but remind her, "Be careful, Senior Uncle Shi."
He gave Shi Chun a meaningful look as he spoke.
Gu Lianni understood his warning. Although their collaboration had resumed, it was still wise to be cautious around Shi Chun.
After giving a slight nod to indicate she understood, she followed Shi Chun, curious to find out what he was really up to.
