Since he hadn't exposed anything just before and now suddenly halted me, how could I not be suspicious?
"Centurion, do you have anything to tell the Supervising Army Officer?" Meng Yi looked at the Lame Man, full of caution.
"Supervisor Meng may have misunderstood. I merely wish to express my gratitude," the Lame Man replied with neither servility nor overbearance.
"Gratitude?"
