Gu Baijiang grinned at him. Unafraid that his own contorted face might scare others, he even leaned in maliciously. "Do you think I still have a choice?
"You really made a wasted trip this time, Mr. Zhou. The master behind you should have known the news long ago. Did he not tell you?"
Zhou Gang's gaze dodged slightly. Since returning to the capital, he had also wanted to meet the First Prince, but he had been turned away and even subtly warned by the prince's attendants. He knew it was impossible to rely on the First Prince anymore, but he was unwilling to fade into total obscurity.
Thus, he made this trip today. If he could find out the whereabouts of that sum of silver, it would be his ticket to gaining favor. If not, he could at least collect the debt from Gu Baijiang to make his family's life a bit easier.
