My Interpreter Mistranslates Every Threat novel · Chapter 18 of 24
Chapter 18: Led
It was nearly two in the morning when Yan stopped pretending to read the annexes.
The papers lay across the floor in two uneven drifts, Chinese and Norvane.
Lu Wen had gathered them into a stack and set a shoe on top.
Yan stood at the window with his back to the room.
For three years he had been the man who solved things.
Tonight he could solve nothing.
He was recused, outvoted, and his best weapon was barred from the stage.
His grandfather was in a hospital bed with a nurse standing guard.
The only plan they had belonged to a man he had hired to speak, and then taught to hush.
"Come here," said Lu Wen.
He had not raised his voice.
Yan turned.
Lu Wen was standing by the grey sofa in his shirtsleeves, with his hair pushed back and the one lamp behind him.
"I can't," Yan said. "I'm thinking."
"I know. It has been audible for an hour."
He crossed the floor and took Yan's wrist, as Yan had once taken his.
"Come here."
Yan went.
He was led across the bare floor to the sofa under the wall of glass, where the river lay lit below.
He stood in front of it, waiting.
"Sit," said Lu Wen.
