These blows didn't actually hit Lieutenant He, but they landed right at his feet, which still gave him quite a fright.
"General, Commander," Lieutenant He said in a trembling voice, as if he were about to collapse to the ground at any moment.
Rong Qing knew that this person was quite cunning, but lacked courage.
“I know everything you’ve done. You’re one of the older folks here, and I was willing to give you face before and not pursue the matter further. But don’t go too far and make things awkward for everyone. Now, go down.”
Lieutenant He felt that the last three words were like heavenly music, and he quickly ran out.
Rong Qing rubbed his throbbing head, sat for a while, then got up and dialed the phone.
"To the Ye Mansion in Anxi City."
"OK."
A moment later, an aged voice came from the other end: "Hello, Ye Mansion."
"Is Young Master Ye here?" Rong Qing asked.
Ye Ershao, Ye Li, was a good friend of the original owner, Rong Qing, but the two had not been in contact for a long time due to some conflicts.
Rong Qing felt that Ye Li was a person worth befriending, and he was currently short of manpower. If Ye Li was willing to come over, that would be the best outcome.
"The second young master is at home. May I ask who you are—"
"Nan Cheng Rong Qing".
"So it's General Rong, my apologies for not recognizing you." The person on the other end spoke politely, but Rong Qing still sensed a hint of distance. It seemed that quite a few people knew about the conflict between the two of them back then.
Although Butler Ye didn't have a good impression of Rong Qing after receiving the call, he didn't dare to hide the matter and could only go upstairs to find Ye Li.
"Second Young Master, it's a call from Commander Rong."
Ye Li put down the newspaper in her hand and raised an eyebrow: "That's really rare. Someone told me with certainty that he would never contact me again."
Butler Ye stood aside without speaking. Ye Li pondered for a moment before asking, "Did he say what it was about?"
"General Rong didn't say."
"It seems this matter is quite troublesome. Make arrangements for me to go to Nancheng."
"Second Young Master!" Butler Ye exclaimed anxiously, "Second Young Master, are you forgiving him so easily? What happened back then was Commander Rong's fault. Now, he just makes a casual phone call, and Second Young Master is rushing over. Isn't that going too far?"
Ye Li chuckled lightly: "He's already called me, how can I not go and see him? What else do you want? For him to come to our door to apologize in person? No matter what, he's still the Commander Rong who has guns on our side."
Although Butler Ye had already started packing his luggage, he still wouldn't let it go: "There are plenty of local tyrants with military power in the world these days. Commander Rong is just one of them. If his family hadn't made their fortune early and his father hadn't helped him conquer most of the country, how could he be living such a comfortable life now?"
Ye Li straightened her clothes: "I know the housekeeper meant well. If some things are destined from the beginning, it's common knowledge that I was close to him and treated him like a brother. Even though we fell out later, it was because I didn't like some of his actions. It wasn't a matter of life and death. To outsiders, it always seemed like we were on the same page. Even if I wanted to seek refuge with someone else now, they might not believe me."
"That must have been tough on the second young master. If it weren't for the eldest young master's poor health, we wouldn't have asked you to befriend the Rong family in the first place."
