Despite his thoughts, he still wanted to hear Mo Lan's answer in person, no matter what the facts were.
"I don't mean to question you, I just want to know the truth."
Seeing Qin Su's expression, Mo Lan remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Hehe... Prince Qin, you're used to being the master. You like to get to the bottom of everything and have everyone report to you. But I'm not your subordinate... If I had known you cared so much about those people, I should have let you take action. But it's too late now. I've already taken care of everything. You have no chance."
Mo Lan adopted an "I won't say" attitude, with a faint smile on her face but no smile in her eyes, and she innocently shrugged her shoulders at him.
Seeing Mo Lan's provocative gaze, Qin Su remained silent for a moment, his eyelids twitching.
She's right. She's not his subordinate, and he has no obligation to report everything. She's unwilling to admit that he truly has no right to order her around.
Especially those defiant eyes, filled with undisguised sarcasm, made Qin Su feel very irritated.
"Miss Mo Lan, I apologize for my presumption."
Without even glancing at Mo Lan's expression, he turned and left.
Watching Qin Su leave in anger, Mo Lan gripped the pointer and pursed her lips.
"He throws a tantrum for no reason. Does he really think I'll put up with him?"
Seeing that her eldest son was angry, Han Shuang's eyes flickered. "Young Master Qin is probably just curious."
"There are too many strange things happening? I have no obligation to explain them to him."
After she trapped those people with her formation, she sent them to the deep mountains for special training overnight. They would never be able to leave the forest until they were completely tamed.
The private soldiers trained by the aristocratic families were quite capable in combat, each with a foundation in martial arts; unfortunately, they encountered a terrible leader.
She wanted to recruit these people to her own cause, so that they could be trained more efficiently and used when necessary.
However, apart from a few people close to her, she didn't want outsiders to know too much about this, given her sensitive status.
Therefore, when Qin Su asked her, she didn't want to lie, so she could only refuse to answer.
Besides, their relationship is better than it was a while ago, but it's not good enough for them to be completely open with each other.
Training private soldiers and building an army—such confidential matters would never be revealed to Qin Su unless she was completely out of her mind. Even within the stronghold, apart from a few key figures, everyone else was kept in the dark.
When Qin Su gets angry, Mo Lan will only think he's being dramatic, and won't have any other thoughts about him.
Hearing her boss's tone and indifferent expression, Han Shuang fell silent. She could sense that Qin Su treated her boss as a friend. But since her boss didn't reciprocate, she couldn't offer any advice.
Didn't she herself fall for her best friend in the past? Therefore, she had no right to remind the boss, after all, her eyesight wasn't very good.
The little incident between Qin Su and Mo Lan passed just like that. For several days in a row, Qin Su did not appear again, and there was not a sound from the stream.
Of course, Mo Lan didn't care. She directly gathered Tie Niu and the others together and gave them instructions for the next task.
“I’ve been here for several months now, and you’ve all become quite adept at handling your responsibilities. I’ll be leaving the mountain in the next few days, and I’ll be handing things over to you.”
