Chapter 180 - Xu Yangyi's Confinent
“Wow, that hostility couldn't be clearer!”
Xu Yangyi observed with genuine interest, glancing at Nan Xiao before disregarding him.
Just when everyone anticipated Wei Wey handing the gun to Xu Yangyi, potentially causing harm to the police dog, Hee Jingyan unexpectedly ordered, “Detain him for a week, Deputy.”
Nan Xiao, seething with anger, couldn't believe his ears; such leniency wasn't characteristic of Hee Jingyan.
Just confinent? That's it?
Even Wei Wey, the client, found it perplexing. This departure from Hee Jingyan's usual strictness was baffling.
Wei Wey oscillated between relief and concern; Hee Jingyan's astuteness kept him on edge.
“Could it be…” Is the colonel sparing because of my sister-in-law?
Wei Wey speculated, the likelihood seeming high.
“Wasn't my directive clear?” Hee Jingyan's icy glance halted Nan Xiao's actions.
Nan Xiao trembled, “Yes, I'll comply imdiately.”
Nan Xiao hastily instructed two soldiers to escort Liu Tie to the confinent room, bewildered by Xu Yangyi's apparent immunity.
The more he pondered, the more unsettled Nan Xiao beca, a suspicion forming.
He cast a hesitant glance at Hee Jingyan, suppressing the urge to speak, feigning difficulty.
“Out with it.” Hee Jingyan's impatience was palpable.
Hearing Hee Jingyan's impatient tone, Nan Xiao's animosity towards Xu Yangyi intensified. Yet, he concealed his feelings, stating, “Colonel, there are matters I'm unsure whether to disclose.”
“Speak.” Hee Jingyan's interruption was chillingly decisive.
It might have been the first ti Hee Jingyan treated him so coldly; Nan Xiao was montarily stunned, a hint of sorrow fleeting in his eyes before he continued, “Though Wei Wey erred in giving the gun to your sister-in-law, it was for her safety. Nonetheless, it's factual that she shot and injured the Senior Colonel's police dog.”
Though veiled, Nan Xiao's ssage was clear: he desired fair treatnt from Hee Jingyan, devoid of favoritism. Such audacity, however, was inappropriate for a subordinate.
With Hee Jingyan's current standing, Senior Colonel couldn't discipline Xu Yangyi, prompting Nan Xiao to ensure he faced consequences.
Darkness consud Nan Xiao's heart entirely.
Nan Xiao's declaration shocked the soldiers; it was an audacious statent!
Even Xu Yangyi frowned, sensing Nan Xiao's antagonism.
“Seems like the aide-de-camp aspires to my position, Hee Jingyan.” Hee Jingyan's words lacked warmth, suffocating the room, especially when Nan Xiao t his gaze.
Nan Xiao swiftly apologized, yet persisted, “But, Colonel, your actions might not appear justifiable to others. Your subordinate rely acts on your behalf.”
“It's just confinent after all!” Xu Yangyi's interruption cut through Nan Xiao's fa?ade.
Perhaps to spare Hee Jingyan from criticism, Xu Yangyi didn't want his superior accused of favoritism.
