I said, "You returned last year."
I heard Zhang Xiulan's voice. "Not exactly last year. Six months back. When we returned, Yusheng introduced me to the jailor, Uncle Wu."

She chuckled. "Yes. He assured they were safe jobs for me, and Zhang Chao wouldn't get any whiff about my presence."
From my side, Liao Huifang asked, "Wait a minute. How did you fool him when you were not in Scotland?"
