"Oh? Was indemnity clearly stated in the contract when you first agreed to it?" Kuai Minglang asked.
"Yes, sir, you can check it from the Commerce Association files," said Mr. Du.
Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but sneer, "I was the one who signed the contract with Du Zhongshu, and I had no idea about this indemnity. Seems like Mr. Du is quite clear about it, isn't he?"
"Naturally, you wouldn't readily admit to it. There's no point in arguing; you'll know once the Commerce Association's Beiyu City branch retrieves the files." Mr. Du was as cocksure as ever, or rather, he was behaving like he'd already won.
Kuai Minglang immediately sent someone to the Commerce Association, and summoned the partners' contract files. Bai Ruozhu originally signed the contract with Du Zhongshu in Anyuan Town, but the Commerce Association has a rule that each month a copy of the latest contracts will be sent to the branches everywhere for storage, and Beiyu City constituted the Northwest branch.
