"Dad, what is it?" Xu Jing asked again, her sharpness escalating.
Commander Xu knew he couldn't avoid it any longer and reluctantly said, "It's a map."
"The treasure map contributed by the Qi Family, right?" Xu Jing stepped forward and snatched the map from Commander Xu's hand. She glanced at it briefly and confirmed it was what she was looking for.
"Jingjing, listen to your dad," Commander Xu hurriedly explained, "This is a misunderstanding. When Old Qi handed this over to me, I didn't know what it was either. I only opened it today."
"Dad, Old Qi's smooth rise in the official ranks was all thanks to your help, wasn't it?" Xu Jing raised the map in her hand, "This was the condition for your help."
Commander Xu sighed and admitted, "Yes, it was."
"If there really is a treasure, it should belong to the state. Dad, having secreted the map away all this time, what were you thinking?" Xu Jing's voice began to rise, disappointment welling up in her eyes for her father.
