Around 5:10 pm, Quan Mingkai and Tang Zhilin booked a private room at the Huangdeng Hotel before they called Allan's secretary.
Allan and his secretary along with another four people who were in charge of the security system arrived at the private room 10 minutes later.
Quan Mingkai stood up to welcome them at once. "Mr. Allan, please have a seat."
When they were all seated, Quan Mingkai gave Allan the menu. "Mr. Allan, please order whatever you like."
Allan was a foreigner, so his taste in food was different from them.
"Well, we don't need to rush. I have a friend who is coming here later, so we can wait for her," Allan said.
"Sure," Quan Mingkai said, but didn't ask him who his friend was.
Afterwards, they chatted casually for a while.
When it was almost 5:40 pm, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived. They were a little late because of a traffic jam on the road.
