"Answer me, Kecheng! Why are you asking about this man?!"
Gu Kecheng's father shouted when he didn't respond promptly.
"Um… because…"
Gu Kecheng went on to recount his interactions with Yuan to his father, starting with their first encounter over a year ago.
"A year ago, I met this guy and challenged him to a custom match, but I lost… Then, a few days ago, I ran into him again and challenged him to another match. At first, he refused, but he suddenly changed his mind after learning who I was. He said he was acquainted with our family and was even close with Uncle Ming. But after our fight, he said that Uncle Ming screamed like a bitch the last time they spoke… whatever that's supposed to mean."
"..."
"Hello? Father?" Gu Kecheng called out when his father did not respond.
"I will call you back later."
Without explaining anything, the father hung up.
Some time later, while in his office, General Gu looked up from his paperwork when someone knocked on his door.
"Who is it?"
