Manager Guo had assigned a total of four guards to Princess Jieyou.
The leader was naturally the guard commander Jiang Hao, with his gleaming bald head. The second was a young man who appeared to be around thirty. A faint, almost imperceptible smile hung on his sharply defined face. On closer inspection, his features bore some resemblance to Manager Guo's.
