Chapter 104 - Flattery
Commander-in-chief Leng Jinpeng also quipped, “Quickly introduce her to me once you’ve spotted her! You can’t get married to her without first letting me meet her. I heard that you’re not only the one who arranged for this luxurious banquet today, but also the person bearing the full costs. However, I’m counting this meal under Commander Zhong, so you have to treat me for a drink next time.”
“If you’re not afraid of death, you can drink as much as you want.”
“What are you talking about, kid!” Although the chief of staff was reprimanding him, his tone was obviously a teasing one.
The commander-in-chief felt that Chi Yang was taunting him. He glared at Chi Yang and said, “Are you underestimating me?”
Chi Yang’s expression remained solemn. He glanced at the commander-in-chief and said in a lukewarm tone, “I’m just telling the truth.”
As he watched the interaction between Chi Yang and Leng Jinpeng, Zhong Kuijun became increasingly curious about Chi Yang’s identity and background.
Leng Jinpeng had been transferred from Emperor District. The string-puller behind Lijing Mansion was the Xiao Family, one of the Four Dominant Families in Emperor District. Chi Yang appeared to have a good rapport with both Master Xiao and the commander-in-chief, so it could be deduced from this that Chi Yang’s background lies 100% in Emperor District.
Judging by how a mere captain like him had dared to speak to a commander-in-chief this way, it seemed that his family shared an extremely close relationship with Leng Jinpeng.
When Zhong Kuijun figured out that there was at least one commander-in-chief who had Chi Yang’s back, he felt a surge of emotion coursing through his body.
