章節 861: Arrival At Last

After visiting Lin Miao at prison, Zhang Mei set her sights on the capital. However, the thought of the long journey ahead gave her pause. She was a lone woman and the road was fraught with danger. She had just had a heated argument with Gu Shan, and she knew better than to expect any help from him. Yet, she was not bothered by his indifference. She had her own ways of managing.

Zhang Mei sought out Gong Zhan's secretary, Mo Li, and asked her to accompany her to the capital. "Mo Li," she said, "you are my son-in-law's secretary. Given the trouble he's in, it's only right that you come with me. Perhaps you could also arrange for a couple of his guards to escort us."

Mo Li was surprised that Zhang Mei had approached her, but then she realized that Zhang Mei was counting on her ability to command the guards. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, as Mo Li had her eyes on the status that came with being Zhang Mei's confidant.
