Chen Ping'an was lost in thought. When Wang Jing mentioned having a "hidden agenda," his mind immediately went to Ma Kuxuan. That kid acted like a fool every single day, but whenever he dropped the act, he was vicious and spoke in a strange, half-literate, half-vernacular way that just screamed for a beating.
Then there was the time they were delivering letters, when Zheng Dafeng had boasted for a while about his own deep cunning and hidden agendas. Chen Ping'an hadn't understood what a "hidden agenda" was back then, but he was certain Zheng Dafeng didn't have one. A deadbeat who still owed him five copper coins and refused to pay up—with "wild ambitions written all over his face"—what kind of hidden agenda could he possibly have?
Wang Jing and Sun Jiashu didn't dwell too long on the topic of hidden agendas. Sun Jiashu asked, "You two still have a long wait before your ferry arrives. Is there anywhere specific in Old Dragon City you'd like to visit? Of course, you needn't worry; I already know about your feud with the Fan Family, and I won't let anyone leak your whereabouts."
