Nan Jiaojiao said sarcastically, "Who required you to personally retrieve it?"
Yeh Hannian laughed, "Indeed, I had to come myself. He stole many corporate secrets and used to be one of my most valuable men, holding a status equivalent to Yeh Xiao and Yeh Xing. I particularly despise betrayal and I feared what he might divulge if he fell into other hands. Random accusations would only complicate matters."
Nan Jiaojiao fell silent then.
She didn't seem too interested.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"Smuggling of relics, international crime," he replied.
Yeh Hannian didn't hide anything, as if he would tell her everything once she asked.
This level of trust was not even shown to Yeh Xiao and others.
"Although I come from a shady background and every penny I earn is tainted with blood, I at least have principles. I don't get involved in those matters. He wanted to use my name to tarnish me, and that's unacceptable."
