Hence, the Wolhu Bureau flailed like a headless fly across Yangzhou, yet struggled to find any way to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as leading figures of those great powers, whether the Sky-Swallowing One or the gray-robed youth of Cold Moon Thirteen Blades, both were seriously considering a single question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiujiu herself had studied hotel management and knew front-desk staff were forbidden from disclosing guest information.
