On the third floor of Cheng's Restaurant, located on a main street in the West City District.
Cheng Zongyang greeted Chen Kaishan and Zheng Tianhai, who had just hurried over from Cheng's Inn.
"Gentlemen, my apologies for the wait." Cheng Zongyang went to welcome them warmly. A nearby table was already set with six dishes, a soup, and some medicinal wine Cheng Zongyang had brought himself.
"Not at all," Chen Kaishan said with a smile. "We just didn't expect you to be back so soon."
The three of them then sat down.
Ignoring any potential hidden meaning in his words, Cheng Zongyang poured them both a cup of wine and replied smoothly,
"It was perfect timing, really. I estimated your round-trip travel time and figured you'd be getting back soon, so I returned a bit early. Then I happened to receive your message on the way. Come, try this wine I brought from home. It's a medicinal wine made from a secret family recipe, quite effective for Martial Artists."
