Su Chaoyang noticed Wu Meiting's erratic behavior—she was clearly in a manic state, having lost all sense of reason. He understood she was capable of doing anything. With a calm, reassuring look cast toward Mu Xiangwan, he turned to face the crazed woman. "Miss Wu, if you have demands, we can talk them out properly. There's no need to drive yourself into a corner."
Wu Meiting chuckled darkly, her gaze full of menace. "Stop trying to reason with me. I won't listen to a single word any of you say… What I want now is for the entire Mu Family to gather here, so you can all witness firsthand how the person in my grasp dies! Let you experience the kind of searing pain I've been through! Oh, and by the way, Su Major, your dear wife is pregnant!"
Having just rushed over from his military unit, Su Chaoyang hadn't even had time to change out of his uniform, the two bars and two stars on his shoulder marks standing out clearly. That's why Wu Meiting was calling him by his rank.
