In these past two years, it was fortunate to have Chang Ning by his side offering advice and strategies, allowing him to sail through crises unscathed.
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Chai missed Chang Ning even more, and now, he felt a bit regretful for letting Chang Ning leave back then.
County Magistrate Chai felt a moment of remorse but quickly returned to the present, thinking, "I wonder what she wants?"
The Chief Clerk softly suggested, "Why don't the County Lord ask her directly?"
After considering, County Magistrate Chai felt there was no harm in asking. If Zhao Hanzhang's demands were too excessive, he simply wouldn't agree.
Thus, County Magistrate Chai returned to the front hall and sat opposite Zhao Hanzhang.
The two raised their heads to look at each other, their eyes seemingly burning with intensity. However, Zhao Hanzhang smiled gently, instantly dissolving the subtle tension and gaining the upper hand.
