The conflict between the Xia and Du families was not something to be discussed openly. Commander Zhong did not know about the twists and turns in the matter and only thought that the two chiefs were teasing each other.
Ye Jian didn't disturb Commander Xia when she walked out. She even told the guard to wait for her.
"Who are you waiting for? Do you need me to take you there?"
A clear and polite voice came from behind. At first, the guard felt that the woman who spoke was very cultured even before seeing her in person.
However, Ye Jian, who had already seen the person, knew that her politeness was fake. When she spoke, her tone was sharp. It sounded polite, but every word was directed at her.
Ye Ying was walking with Du Jiayi. Ye Ying was just a chess piece for Du Jiayi, waiting to be taken advantage of.
Turning, Ye Jian smiled at the northern belle. "No, thank you."
