The masked man said solemnly, "Very well, I'd like to see which expert is hiding in this mansion."
How could he feel at ease with such a top expert hidden in his mansion?
“Then I’ll trouble you, sir,” Sang Hong continued, “By the way, how many people know about the Chu family and Wang family caravan we just talked about? Will they suspect you afterwards?”
"Thank you for your concern, Prefect," the masked man cupped his hands in greeting. "Don't worry, I wasn't involved in this matter. I found out about it through other channels, so if the investigation goes back on, I won't be implicated."
Sang Hong smiled slightly: "Sir, you are indeed a seasoned veteran."
“Serving the Prefect, one must be careful,” the masked man said, then hesitated before finally adding, “But the Prefect promised me something…”
"Don't worry, I've always been a man of my word," Sang Hong replied. "Chu Zhongtian is out of touch with reality and is destined to be eliminated. Then the Chu family will be yours, along with the person you've been longing for."
The masked man looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Prefect."
"It's perfectly normal for a gentleman to pursue a beautiful lady; what's so funny about that?" Sang Hong smiled slightly. "What exactly caused Chu Zhongtian to suddenly leave the city last night? It seems Miss Chu is ill? Why did she need to go see Doctor Ji overnight?"
“Indeed, Chu Chuyan has some health problems,” the masked man replied. “Unfortunately, the Chu couple have kept her condition strictly confidential, and even I don’t know what’s going on.”
"Could it be that the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace has side effects?" Sang Hong fell into deep thought. Chu Chuyan's strength had increased dramatically after she came out of the secret realm, and the matter of the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace was no longer a secret.
"I have already sent people to approach Zu'an to find out about Chu Chuyan. I will inform the Prefect as soon as I have any follow-up information," the masked man said.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, sir." Sang Hong bowed.
"You're too kind, Lord Sang." The masked man hurriedly stood up to return the greeting.
After chatting for a while longer, the masked man took his leave.
After he left, Sang Qian said with some dissatisfaction, "Father, who exactly is this person? Why did they keep it from me?"
Sang Hong replied, "This is his request. His identity is sensitive, and he only wants me to know. Since I promised him, I can't go back on my word."
Knowing that his father was a man of his word, Sang Qian didn't dare to say anything, but just muttered to himself, "I wonder what his identity is, that he's so mysterious."
Seeing his reaction, Sang Hong secretly shook his head. His son's personality was still too impulsive. No wonder that person had such a request.
"By the way, I heard you had Zheng Dan approach Zu'an?" Thinking of something else, Sang Qian's voice suddenly turned cold.

I think I accidentally said something wrong and offended a teacher at school today, even though I didn't mean it that way. I spent the whole evening feeling anxious, and I still haven't recovered. Sigh, someone like me is definitely better suited to being a keyboard warrior, pontificating online.
