The reason was that Jing Menghun had cut into the conversation by adding on a few words of his own. Given Jing Menghun's position in Diwu Qingrou's organization, there was no doubt that he had every right to cut into the conversation. This was not all; he even had the right to make his own decisions!
How could being the top leader of Golden Horse Riders Department be anything unextraordinary?
However, now that he had jumped in, Chu Yang instead seized the opportunity to insult him!
Furthermore, he had insulted him with a domineering and disdainful attitude, without using any reason.
He had ruthlessly destroyed Diwu Qingrou's authority!
Diwu Qingrou had come to investigate. In this case, if Chu Yang was timid and fearful, Diwu Qingrou would be able to see right through his true identity at once. Hence, Chu Yang could not behave in a way that was as timid as a mouse.
