Gu Qili looked around, making sure she was the only one near the flower shop before confirming that the person was calling her.
He appeared to be in his thirties, with fine features, and was dressed neatly and decently, clearly someone of status, but she did not recall knowing such a figure.
"Miss Gu, I apologize for the intrusion." He approached, introducing himself very politely, "My name is Chen Jiu, and people are used to calling me Old Nine."
Old Nine? Gu Qili suddenly remembered that at one time, during a meal at Xiangshan Club, Leng Shaoqing mentioned this person; he seemed to be a casino owner and was acquainted with Mu Shuoqian and the others.
"Mr. Chen, hello. May I ask what you want with me?" Gu Qili clutched the tulips in her hands, not understanding why a friend of Mu Shuoqian would seek her out.
