"Sit down quickly, there's a cigarette." He reached out and tugged at Zhao Shu. "It looks like it's ready to eat, but there's no salt, so you'll have to make do." After saying that, he kept glancing into the distance, wondering why his subordinates hadn't arrived yet.
Zhao Shu sat down, forcing a smile, but the smile was extremely forced. "Since you know all this, why are you being so nice to me?"
