These past days, this is the first time I have felt a sense of respect.

Having received the commander's assurance, I felt a lot better.

The commander specifically drove me back home.

When he saw my ravaged home, he was dumbfounded.

While I was away, Tao Feifei's dad sent people to break open my door and destroy all the furniture.

I was thankful that I had sent Yaoyao to her grandmother's home ahead of time.

Otherwise, if she had seen this scene of devastation, it might add another layer of shadow to her young mind.

There was no intact furniture to be found in the entire house, even the pots and pans were smashed to pieces.

The commander trembled with anger upon seeing this sight.

Then Tao Feifei's dad called again.

I put the call on speaker in front of the commander.

His arrogant and domineering voice came through the speaker.

"Old fool, back home, right? Seeing the house smashed up like this, doesn't feel good, does it?"
