Without even glancing at Meng Jie, Zhu Longwei asked, "What's the latest news?"
Meng Jie jerked slightly and quickly pulled a scroll of paper out of his pocket. Even though the wind wasn't very strong at the time, the paper shook in his hand like it was being blown by the wind.
"Someone gave me this information earlier. He said it was important and he needed a response right away."
Zhu Longwei took the paper out of its roll and examined it. Even though the writing was short, it contained a secret message.
He frowned as he looked at the scroll in his hand. Years of investigation may have been thwarted by the contents of the message. Everything could be wasted, and there could be another stalemate.
"Meng Jie, come along with me to the inn!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Without asking too many questions, Meng Jie quickly followed Zhu Longwei back to the Silver Lake Inn, where his young master had stayed during his visit to Jiujiang.
