Lin Xi stood up, furious, and walked out.
Ye Huan was even more bewildered: "Where are you going? Aren't you eating?"
"I'm not eating with a beast!"
Lin Xi’s indignant voice drifted in from outside the private room.
Ye Huan: "..."
Just then, Ye Huan received a text from the Leader:
"Chief, Shen Mingxuan has emailed his superior, asking if he should wait until he verifies your relationship with the First Tower Under Heaven before taking action against you. His superior has agreed."
Ye Huan smiled. He hadn't exposed his relationship with the First Tower Under Heaven on a whim.
It was to keep Shen Mingxuan guessing about his true status, forcing him to consult his superiors. This way, the Leader could remotely track the email to identify exactly who that superior was.
Indeed! It worked!
