"We're friends; isn't it natural to help each other out?" Xie Qingfei drew closer to Xu Fang.
"Aren't you afraid of offending the Gu Family?" Xu Fang asked.
"The Gu Family and the Xie Family are about the same size, they can't do much to us. Plus, with you suddenly setting up so many enemies against them, they have to be on guard constantly for those trying to trip them up, leaving them no time to bother with me," Xie Qingfei candidly said.
"I had these considerations in mind when I decided to leak the information I had," Xu Fang said with a smile.
"Do you know Gu Nian'an? Why did you start investigating him in advance?" Xie Qingfei asked curiously.
Xu Fang told a lie, saying, "When I came to Yanjing, I heard someone was targeting Qiao Yu, so I asked a friend to help me look into it. I didn't expect to actually find something."
This explanation made sense and dispelled the confusions of Xie Qingfei and Qiao Yu.
