Chen Yi remained noncommittal, and asked, "Not a chance encounter, is it?"
"…May we have a brief conversation?" Qin Jingde made a gesture inviting him, pointing to a simple establishment lit by lamps on the street, with a sign that read "Tea", "It's quieter over there."
The Qin Family members inviting someone of their own volition was quite an oddity. Chen Yi's gaze flickered slightly but didn't show any stance.
The two headed to the tea shop, inside which was only an old employee dozing off. Qin Jingde ordered two bowls of the simplest coarse tea.
"May I know the gentleman's esteemed surname?"
"The humble surname is Long."
"Ah, it's Mr. Long, honored to meet you."
"You don't know my name, what honor is there?"
It was indeed a difficult question, yet Qin Jingde wasn't fazed, quickly responding: "From today onward, honored to meet you."
