She steadied herself and carefully walked to the other side of the sofa to sit down.

"Dad, did you need something from me?"

An Dong is not often at home. He usually dotes on his two daughters, but when he gets serious, An Ru is still afraid.

An Dong looked his youngest daughter up and down. Her bright smile and smart clothes suggested she had rushed back from outside.

His eyes softened for a moment, but then he remembered the humiliation of the day and his expression hardened.

His voice was cold: "Anru, have you done anything illegal recently?"

"No, Dad, how could I do anything illegal or against the law?"

Anru's tense heart immediately relaxed.

"Yeah?"

An Dong's gaze grew colder and colder, making An Ru tremble with fear.

"Dad, I really didn't do anything illegal or against the rules!"

"An Dong, what exactly did you hear outside?"

Hearing the noise coming from the living room, Hui Meiqing quickly came in from outside.

Seeing that An Dong's expression remained indifferent, Xiao Ru sat cautiously to the side.

"What did you hear?"

An Dong gave Hui Meiqing a mocking look.

"Our daughter is incredibly audacious. She's capable of anything, from breaking the law to committing crimes. I've figured it out; she's practically ready to kill and commit arson!"

"Dad, if you have a problem with me, just say so. Why are you acting all sarcastic?"

Anru's temper flared up when she saw how her father had made her feel so bad.

"Heh, you have the nerve to make me say it out loud? Fine, then let me ask you, does the head monk have a so-called master named Master Jue?"

Do you know him?

Upon hearing Master Jue's name, Anru immediately knew where her father's anger lay.

She muttered under her breath, "I didn't do anything!"

"Didn't do anything? People are coming to my doorstep to laugh at me, An Dong!"

Seeing that Anru showed no remorse whatsoever, An Dong spoke with all his might.

"Xiaoru, what exactly do you want with that Master Jue?"

Hui Meiqing finally understood why An Dong was so angry. Given her position, she must know more inside information than others.

She knew more or less about the inside story of the chief's position.
