The captain who had weathered great storms, how could he worry about mere ripples?
Cheng Daqi remained unruffled, choosing to employ a rare tactic to break the stalemate.
First, clear the field and control any potential dangers.
"Elder Li, braised is fine, I'm sorry for the trouble, but I need to greet some friends first."
Building on Li Haiping's words, Cheng Daqi smoothly talked Elder Li into returning to the kitchen with just a few easy sentences.
He turned his head toward Eris; now, it was time for him to act as if nothing had happened.
"Ha, thanks for the wine, Riel, take a seat too."
"Chan, can we talk? I've had a chat with those people over there," Eris added, looking beyond the living room's large French windows to the open balcony.
"It's not very convenient here."
"I understand, follow me."
In the midst of Sani's puzzled gaze, Cheng Daqi led Eris straight to his own bedroom.
Two men in a bedroom—that certainly looked a bit suspicious.
