The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 6823

The front hall was bright and spacious, designed to look like an ancient yamen. In the center, there was an open area with three Taishi chairs set up at the front.

Two dead soldiers stood guard in the hall. When they saw Yin Xiaoyang enter, they stepped forward and said respectfully, “I have seen Commander Yin!”

Yin Xiaoyang nodded and replied, “I have called your commanders for a meeting. You may leave now.”

The soldiers responded in unison, “I obey my orders!” Then, they turned around and walked away.

Charlie Wade noticed how much respect the soldiers had for Yin Xiaoyang. Their eyes showed admiration rather than fear. Curious, he asked, “Do you have a good relationship with these soldiers?”

Yin Xiaoyang explained, “Yes, Mr. Ye. We in the Cavalry Guards have a strong bond with the dead soldiers. Although we are here to guard them, I’ve always told my fellow guards to never oppress, humiliate, or make things difficult for them and their families. We share a common fate, and it’s important to understand each other. The dead soldiers appreciate our efforts, and we try our best to help them, which makes our relationship strong.”

Charlie Wade nodded thoughtfully and said, “In society outside, there’s often a food chain between classes. Exploitation and oppression are common, with people in higher positions passing their frustrations down to those below. It’s not easy for you to see that the dead soldiers and the knight guards are connected here.”

“Fate and help each other.”

Song Ruyu felt a blush rise on her cheeks when she heard Charlie Wade’s words. She realized that she was one of the “many people” he mentioned. The Song family had suffered under the control of the Poqing Society for hundreds of years. However, since coming to Duke Mining, she had treated the heroic cavalry guards there with little sympathy. Instead of showing kindness, they had even been harsh and had harmed innocent people. Now, reflecting on her actions filled her with shame.

Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps echoed from the alley behind the front hall. A strong middle-aged man with a beard led a group of more than twenty people who quickly approached.

Most of the group had Asian features, but there were also a few from other races. These individuals had been kidnapped by the Qing Dynasty many years ago and forced into servitude, so their descendants also became soldiers and received a common Chinese education.

As the group reached the three of them, the leader stared at Charlie Wade in surprise and said loudly, “My subordinate Qian Qiwu greets Lord Qianshi and Lord Commander!”

Charlie Wade turned to Song Ruyu and asked, “Have you been down here?”

Song Ruyu nodded and replied honestly, “Mr. Ye, I came down the day before yesterday to distribute the antidote to them.”

She continued, “Originally, a special envoy was supposed to handle this, but since I was here to supervise the major changes, I didn’t let the special envoy come.”

Charlie Wade nodded in understanding. At that moment, Yin Xiaoyang looked at Charlie Wade and asked, “Mr. Ye, do you think your subordinates can introduce themselves to you?”

Charlie Wade responded, “Sure, go ahead and introduce them.”

Seeing Song Ruyu and Yin Xiaoyang show respect to the young people nearby made the dead soldiers feel a bit anxious.
