His spirits lifted, and he immediately stood up from his stool and ordered his trusted aides to quickly carry out the chests filled with silver notes and antiques. He led the way to the door, grumbling, "I said to keep it down. What if someone discovers us?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he reached the grand entrance of the county government office. His voice quickly faded as he froze on the spot.
Standing before him were none other than Ye Mingyu and Jiang Li.

Ye Mingyu managed a smile in return, feeling a sudden unease in his heart. Jiang Li’s smile was gentle, and even Ye Mingyu showed him a smile filled with profound meanings. Since when had the man who usually gave him nothing but stern looks been so amiable?
"Miss Jiang the Second," Ye Mingyu put aside his inner scrutiny and asked Jiang Li, "You two have come so early. Is there something you need from me?"
This attitude was worlds apart from the unyielding manner he had first confronted Jiang Li with. A flicker of contempt flashed in Ye Mingyu’s eyes. Such a sycophant, not worth a second glance, he thought disdainfully.
