"Lord Chen."
"Lord."
"..."
Returning from the South Town Garrison Command, Chen Ping'an had just stepped through the gates of the Nanquan Alley Town Patrol Office when constables began greeting him with beaming smiles.
"Mm."
Chen Ping'an gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
The Zuo Wumei affair had made him the absolute center of attention at the Nanquan Alley Town Patrol Office. But even without it, he was the office's legitimate second-in-command, wielding immense authority.
How could any ordinary constable dare to be insolent in his presence?
Upon entering the Garrison Commandant's Office, Chen Ping'an didn't head directly to his own room, but went to see Tian Fuliang instead.
No matter what, Tian Fuliang was still his superior. It was proper to give him a full report on the Zuo Wumei matter.
"Lord Tian."
The moment Chen Ping'an knocked, Tian Fuliang looked up, saw him, and rose to welcome him inside.
"Ah, Ping'an! Come, come in."
