Gu Youyou lifted the carriage door and descended first.
The man driving the carriage kept his head lowered. That demeanor was very familiar to Gu Youyou—it was like those retired soldiers she had hired from the army with a hefty payment in modern times.
Moreover, there was a sinister and oppressive aura, like the black-clad men in the dark of night.
"Thank you!" Gu Youyou said to him.
The man did not reply, simply waiting on the side with his head lowered.
Gu Youyou then looked towards the top of the carriage, where there was no one left. That person had left before they even entered the city.
Abao sprung out of the carriage and, seeing the unfamiliar carriage driver, did not exhibit its usual wariness towards strangers. It obediently stayed by Gu Youyou's side.
Fearing it would frighten people, Gu Youyou even put a chain around its neck.
Although the chain posed no threat to Abao, as long as others saw that the dog was leashed and seemed safe, it was sufficient.
