Late at night, the stars blazed brilliantly.
The Kaiyang Sub-Branch was brightly lit, cargo ships came and went, the scene bustling; both the dockworkers and the patrolling Beidou Bang disciples kept perfect order.
Mo Beiyan walked out, his face grave. Beside him, a Hundred Households said, "Sixth Young Master, the Kaiyang Sub-Branch seems completely peaceful, nothing like what that Steward just described—utter chaos."
Mo Beiyan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Squad Leader Liu being transferred was far too sudden, not a whisper of warning, even the Ninth Sister heard nothing. And the people sent in his place are from the Liu Family. It makes no sense. Send some men to investigate."
"Understood."
The group quickly moved forward, arriving at the spot outside where the horses were tethered. Just as they prepared to mount up, a shadow appeared in the darkness, lurking at the edge of the grass, his features unclear.
Mo Beiyan and the others grew instantly alert.
