He glanced at the residence, then toward the direction the carriage had departed, and subconsciously touched his chest.
Even now, it still felt somewhat unreal.
'It felt like the 300,000 silver came too easily.'
But after waiting a moment without seeing anyone suspicious appear, Xiao Dongchen finally let out a sigh of relief.
"It seems it was real."
"Still, the Jing State Liu Family is truly generous."
Just then, a cold voice spoke from nearby:
"Gray Wolf, this is the second time I've helped you. Don't forget what you promised me."
Xiao Dongchen paused for a moment. He quickly cupped his hands and smiled. "Rest assured."
"Since I have already given you my word, I will naturally not go back on it."
"First thing tomorrow morning, after I arrive at the Governor's Office, I will transfer that merit to Assistant Governor Chen."
"That's for the best. I'm leaving."
"Thank you."
