The water gurgled, the wooden ladle drifting over it. The Green Leaf had still not returned. Tonight's dinner was still very simple.
Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi were eating faster than usual. For the former, this was quite the rare occurrence.
From this detail, one could imagine just how important the documents they needed to discuss tonight were.
The plates on their desks were cleared away and An Hua brought them some green orange water for them to rinse their mouths, presented with scalding hot towels.
A small mountain of documents was piled up in the corner of the hall. The ones they needed to see had already been picked out and organized.
The hall remained silent throughout the night. Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi read the documents in their hands, saying nothing for a very long time.
They had been informed of the conclusion of that battle long ago, but it was only now that they were learning of many details.
