Some stuff about him? The possibilities run through his head. The crimes he's committed? That's the most likely option he can think of, exposed criminal kingpin's son is prolific assassin, that's the kind of thing that sells papers right? The fact that he was adopted from the streets is unlikely to be it, that's old news that Yifu squashed years ago, back when he was first adopted.
(Privately, Xie thinks that was a mistake, Yifu should have used it to boost his own image, it would have made the perfect puff piece - businessman takes in poor orphan child)
There's something about that apology, though, something unsettling. Xie puts down his fork, appetite suddenly gone (he was mostly finished anyway) and pushes himself to his feet.
"Show me." He says, already moving towards the basement stairs.
