Little did Ji Lin appreciate where things had gone awry, causing his brother-in-law to abruptly change his demeanor...
"Brother-in-law, what can I do?"

Ou Zhuye's expression softened, aware that his brother-in-law wasn't one to act recklessly. He had always been clear-headed, knowing what to do and what not to do, and where the line was drawn...
"Ji Lin, don't think I'm prejudiced against you." Ou Zhuye confided, "It's just that I've been thinking about today's incident all the way here, and it doesn't sit right with me—the timing, the location, the method, none of it adds up."
