He sincerely said, "Indeed, that's exactly what happened. I wasn't standing far away and saw it with my own eyes. My heart is still pounding in my chest. I need to leave now. Thank you for your generous hospitality, but I suggest you still check everything afterward. Also, Second Young Master Zhong isn't just a good kid, his agility is impressive too. Truly outstanding!"

"We always hear about this and that from him, but the true nature of a person is revealed in critical moments."
"Treat him a bit better from now on, I really hadn't expected this."
"Excuse us, we'll also take our leave."
