Chapter 49 I Called You Here
He turned to look at me. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Ninghe. I'm a friend of this bastard Ji Yanli."
"I'm the one who called you here."
"The point was to let the two of you take a step forward."
As he spoke, he rubbed his brow and pointed at Ji Yanli. "This asshole has been carrying you in his heart until it's almost made him sick. He just won't say it."
"I figured I'd use a bit of liquor to get the words out."

"But... can't you two show a little spine? Do you have to go at each other like roosters the second you meet?"
He looked at me, extremely dissatisfied. "Brother Ye, right?"

"Didn't you know what he was like eight years ago? You have to clash with him head-on?"
"And you had to bring this little boy along to poke him. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

I stepped in front of Tang Xiaomang. "Whether he's good or not is not yours to say."
