Chapter 20: Nine Cards
"Chen, I'm going to the market for rice," Ye Ming told the empty room on Wednesday morning.
"Back in an hour. I'm taking my keys and the green bag."
Nobody answered.
He said it anyway, to the dry wall and the unmarked floor.
The rule was a bargain, and a bargain had two sides.
On Thursday night someone knocked on his door with the flat of a hand.
Sang Ruo stood on the landing in a gray hoodie and sunglasses, with a laptop bag held to his chest.
"Don't say anything," he said. "I'll lose my nerve."
Ye Ming stepped aside.
Sang Ruo came in, took off the sunglasses, and looked at the dry wall for a long time.
"It's quiet," he said.
"Yes."
"I thought it would be worse."
He put the bag on the table and opened it with shaking fingers.
"Three years. I've kept every earpiece session. I record from my side, in case he says something I could be blamed for."
"You recorded Master Lu," said Ye Ming.
"All of it. His voice, dictating. The Gu woman's sheet, every year. The name of the lawyer."
