Silence fell.
"Commander Xu," Qi Canghai said.
"I'm here," Xu Yuan replied.
"I hear you have a maid who fled from the First Prince, Lu Chenzhou, taking all his treasures with her," Qi Canghai said. "Is that true?" "It is," Xu Yuan replied.

"President, we should discuss this before—"
"Silence!" Qi Canghai barked,
