Yan Wenli's eyebrows raised slightly as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, Director, I could have chosen not to join the Monitoring Bureau and not to get involved in these cases."
Tang Fei paused briefly, as if carefully selecting his words, "I am a student of White Crane Academy, a disciple of Xuanyuan Mingjing..."
A mocking smile appeared on Yan Wenli's lips as he said, "What now? Are you threatening me too? A disciple of a Great Grandmaster, indeed, quite the impressive title you have."
"Director, I didn't say that to boast or dare to threaten you... You are one of the elders I respect the most. Besides Master, there is only you."
"..."
Yan Wenli looked at Tang Fei with astonishment. How could he utter such words?
They were colleagues at the Monitoring Bureau, in a superior-subordinate relationship, with himself as the Director and him, an investigator working for him.
