In another room…
Yu Feng sat at the table as she watched a woman walked over with a tray of refreshments. The woman sat down and turned her head to Wang Meng as the man was chatting with their guest.
Wang Meng picked up the pastry on the plate and took a bite. As the sweet taste filled his mouth, Wang Meng turned to his wife and smiled. "You were lucky that there was no one staying here today. Or else, things would be difficult for me." The smile on his face disappeared when he talked to Yu Feng. "The men who came with you… can they be trusted?"
"They won't say a thing even if they know something," Yu Feng said. Her lips curled into a smile that did not reach her eyes. "Wang Meng, don't you trust me?"
The man let out a heavy sigh. "I trust you. It's the others that I did not trust. I don't want to get into trouble. After all…" Wang Meng paused and turned to the woman beside him. "My wife is now pregnant."
