The newcomers were none other than Jiang Taibai and Zheng Xiang.
And that furious shout had come from Zheng Xiang.
With her back to the two of them, Guan Yunlan put away the emotions on her face and replaced them with calm indifference. Turning around, she said, "You detained a servant of my Xu family for no reason, and you still say I've gone too far?"
