Zhou Shuren thought for a moment and replied, "Soon."
Yao Wenqi, who is now trapped by the Emperor and also targeted by the Zhang family, still controlled quite a few things. The Emperor had been dragging things out without success, and although the Zhang family knew that Yao Wenqi had killed members of their clan, they tolerated it for the sake of the chess pieces Yao Wenqi controlled.
Yao Wenqi was aware that the Emperor would not let him go and that the Zhang family would also turn on him once he outlived his usefulness. Therefore, what Yao Wenqi wanted most was to escape.
Zhou Shuren knew all this because the Emperor had confided in him, trusting him deeply because his mother was from the Rong clan.
Yu Dang had waited for so many years and did not mind waiting a bit longer. He just wanted to inquire about some progress. "Alright, then I will be heading back."
Zhou Shuren grunted in acknowledgment, "Uncle Four, you should rest early too."
