The words "dog eyes" made Gu Yan, Duke of Xinning Prefecture, burn with rage, yet there was nothing he could do.

Other than cursing back, he had no better option.

"How... how could my son have written such an IOU? Impossible!" After seeing the contents of the jade slip clearly, Gu Yan's expression turned ugly. "Where is the original?"
"The original is here!"
Ye Zhen casually handed another jade slip to Central Patrol Commander Jing Zhan. "Commander Jing, take a look. If someone owes a debt and refuses to repay it, is it only right and proper to come to their door and demand payment?"
Jing Zhan merely glanced at it, and his expression immediately relaxed. He then cupped his hands toward both sides. "Since this is debt collection, it is a private matter between your two families.

They had been completely suppressed
