Just as Gu Chengyu was feeling unsettled, the voice of Qian suddenly sounded outside the door.
"This official offers greetings to you all, my lords!" Qian shouted from outside to the four people inside the room.
Hearing this, Gu Chengyu was invigorated. It was coming!
He composed himself, smiled at Qian, and exchanged greetings like everyone else.
"I wonder what brings Mr. Qian to our place?" Ren Ge knew that Qian never came without a reason; without something important, he wouldn't be here.
"The Emperor has summoned Gu Xiu. I am just the messenger, and Eunuch Quan is already waiting outside."
Since it was an imperial summon, Qian dared not delay, having no mind for networking with his superiors—business took precedence.
As soon as Gu Chengyu heard this, he suppressed his excitement, realizing his prediction was correct, and clutched the booklet in his sleeve. Gu Chengyu calmed his mind, stood up, and walked toward the door.
