The next day, Xie Bing and Sanniang indeed showed up in Jiayu City, the provincial capital.
The two arrived at nine in the morning and checked into a hotel owned by Han Wangfu. However, Han Wangfu only sent his confidant, Zhang Tai, to deal with them briefly and didn't show up himself until three in the afternoon.
Sanniang grew increasingly restless, waving her handkerchief as she entered Xie Bing's room, "Xie Bing, that old fox Han Wangfu isn't playing tricks on us, is he? Originally, we had some leeway between you, me, and Li Huai, but if Li Huai finds out we came to the provincial capital to meet with Han Wangfu and even discuss how to deal with him, once we return, won't he tear us apart immediately?"
"If you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, Li Huai won't know," said Xie Bing.
