Lucius hurried to keep up, methodically planning their next move, "Should I have the guys follow him?" "Let it be." "Let it be?" Lucius usually kept pace with Gregory's thinking, but this time, he was genuinely struggling to keep up. "He's definitely off to meet the big boss behind the scenes, right? Aren't we going to miss a golden opportunity if we don't tail him?" While saying this, he sprinted ahead of Gregory, pulled open the rear car door, and then, after walking around to the driver's side, got into the car and started it, only to hear Gregory speak in a calm voice: "Josiah might fall into the strap twice in a moment of desperation, but the person behind him isn't that foolish." In fact, they might be even more cunning than we anticipated.
Lucius merged into the traffic, pondering for a moment before carefully saying, "You mean, following them this twould be all risk and no reward for us?" Gregory nodded slightly, his gaze cool, "Pretty much." Not only would they fail to uncover the mastermind, but they might also end up worse off. He never engaged in a losing deal.

The only explanation was a trap waiting for them. Even without a trap, they wouldn't be able to find the person. Gregory glanced at him through the rearview mirror, his voice tinged with laziness. "No worries, you've been by my side for years not for your brains." Lucius paused, confused. "Was that an insult?" Unsure, he pondered over it.

I made sure Ramona was tucked in before trying to take the soup from him, "You could've just ordered delivery, no need to go all the way there." He must be exhausted, having likely not slept last night and then running around all day today.
He didn't hand it over, placing it on the coffee table instead, "The delivery option is from a franchise; it's not as good as the original place." That was true.
I opened the chicken noodle soup and started eating with him.
But I couldn't shake off a feeling of unease, as if the food was tasteless.
Gregory looked at me, "Worried Pearl won't show?" "Yeah..." I was a bit anxious, “Given Pearl's personality, she'd wantto sign the agreement as soon as possible, but it's already late, and she hasn't shown up." "She won't come." :
