Having spoken, Long Chengyu didn't say anything more and turned to walk forward.
Adong paused, glancing at Ashi, but Ashi had already silently followed.
Taking a breath, Adong had no choice but to turn around and leave as well.
On the riverbank, the wind coming from the river remained a bit cold, causing the hem of Long Chengyu's coat to flutter continuously. He put on the sunglasses from his coat pocket and walked for a while before stopping. He looked down at the river flowing beneath the embankment.
Suddenly, from behind, there came the faint sounds of a car – 'trrrr' – pulling to a stop, and Ashi turned his head to see a black Mercedes-Benz parked on the flat ground behind him.
The car had just stopped when Chu Ting, also in a black overcoat, got out, and the driver alighted as well, standing by the side. When the driver noticed Ashi looking over, he nodded slightly to greet him, and Ashi nodded back, both obviously recognizing each other.
