Cao Xi flared up upon hearing this, feeling indignant that her good intentions were met with insults. Her fiery temper raged as she angrily shouted back, "Don't threaten me, woman, I warned you, but you didn't listen. Now that you regret it, it's too late. Keep arguing, and I'll reward you with a few grenades." She was full of a bandit's air; as a former underworld figure and the new head of the Cao Clan, Cao Xi knew how to communicate with her subordinates.
"Everyone, stop arguing." Wang Er said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's really going on?"
"First, tell me who the employer is." Cao Xi regained her composure and asked sharply. Finding the employer and following the trail might bear fruit. As an exceptionally intelligent woman, Cao Xi wasn't stupid. She knew what Luo Zheng was most concerned about, so she asked on his behalf.
The underground passage quieted down, and Cao Xi continued, "What? Are you trying to keep it a secret?"
