Increase the Security

"Hmph, got away quick, didn't they?"

Jiang Changbai watched the departing master-servant duo, his eyes still sparked with annoyance.

Just then, Deputy General Liu hurried into the plum garden.

As Deputy General Liu had always been responsible for the General's Mansion security, hearing the disturbance, he immediately came over to the garden. Seeing Jiang Changbai standing in the courtyard, he hastily came forward and saluted, "Young General?"

Deputy General Liu was more accustomed to addressing Jiang Changbai as the Young General, given his previous military tenure.

"Did someone breach the General's Mansion, Young General?" Deputy General Liu asked softly after saluting Jiang Changbai.

"Just a petty thief," Jiang Changbai answered dismissively. "I've chased him off."
