He raised his head carefully, and saw Tang Jingze's handsome face and sharp eyes under the candlelight, who saw through his thoughts at a glance. Cui Xiao's heart skipped a beat. The person in front of him was obviously much younger than him, but he felt overwhelmed.

Adrian Tang sneered: "Master Cui, you came here tonight to ask me to bend the law for your own selfishness?"

Cui Xiao immediately said, "I don't dare."

Adrian Tang opened his eyes and said sternly: "You dare not! If you dare not, then why are you here today?

Do you know what position I hold now?"
