"Yes. We will take your counsel to heart."
The two replied in unison.
"Now that they've been brought here, I will not see you out."
Commander Chen turned his gaze to Wang Zilan and Xu Yuanhai, clearly showing them the door.
"You are too kind, Commander Chen. Should you ever visit the Prefecture City, please be sure to visit the Xu Family. I will be honored to host you."
A great weight lifted from Patriarch Xu's heart. He replied courteously, desperate to take his son and leave this hotbed of trouble before any other disasters could befall them.
However, just as Xu Yuanhai was about to signal Xu Shenzhi to leave with him, Wang Zilan, who had been sitting quietly to the side, suddenly spoke, her voice clear and resonant:
"Commander Chen, I have one more matter. I would like to borrow your hall for a moment to settle a personal affair."
"Oh?"
Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow. "Miss Wang, what do you mean by that?"
