Xue Yue also felt it was unfair. Call it riding on someone else's coattails or whatever you want, she just felt they couldn't let the matter drop. The other party had abused their power to bully them and made an exorbitant demand. Judging by the situation, this clearly wasn't their first time.
Perhaps their last victims weren't as lucky and had to swallow the loss in silence.
"The common folk fear the officials," as the saying goes, but on second thought, that's not a good thing.
This kind of fear only emboldens villains, making them even more audacious.
Xue Xingzhou asked, "Do you have much contact with this Commander Qin?"
"Not really. Commander Qin is Ruanruan's classmate's grandfather. I've only met him once. Qin Haize, however, comes over often, and Ruanruan has been to the Qin Family's home with them a couple of times."
Xue Yue recalled that her last meeting with Qin Haize's grandfather had been a bit unpleasant. Thinking about it now made her feel a little sheepish.
