A look of regret appeared in Chen Cheng'an's eyes. He didn't know if this Chief Tang was a coward who treasured his life or was just exceptionally cautious.
In any case, he had been a step too slow, allowing the man to avoid the trap and Chen Cheng'an's own counterattack.

Chief Tang stared mockingly at Chen Cheng'an, his right hand casually gripping his Broadsword. He sauntered toward his target step by step as if on a leisurely stroll.
"A pity. But I know that you, Chen Cheng'an, are not one to give up easily. You act all righteous and noble on the surface, but in reality, you're just trying to make a name for yourself, aren't you?"
"You seem passionate, but you're really just a glory hound. I bet you never expected Lord Liu to send you to collect taxes, did you?"
