Ye Jiayao made dumplings with pork and chives filling. She packed it, added some sauce, and asked Peng Wu to send it to second-in-charge and first-in-charge. After that, she went to work on the dumplings for Chunyu. However, she was still mad, so after it was cooked, she asked Song Qi to call for him. Song Qi, seeing the chance to suck up to his boss, happily obeyed.

Xia Chunyu was used to having Ye Jiayao call him loudly to eat, that it felt wrong when Song Qi called him today.

Ye Jiayao put the dumplings onto a plate and left the plate on the stove. Song Qi, not noticing anything different, simply took it away.

“Third-in-charge, these are the dumplings big sister made. Don’t they look good? It has cabbage and meat filling, they’re delicious. You should eat them while they are warm,” Song Qi boasted.

Xia Chunyu gave him a hard look. This guy was always so enthusiastic when it comes to food it was irritating.

He glanced at his woman and saw her busy herself in front of the stove. Xia Chunyu knew that she was ignoring him because even when she turned around, she would deliberately avoid looking at him.

I didn’t even say anything! Why is she mad?

The dumplings in the plate were orderly placed. Every dumpling was in the same size and had six folds each. The dumpling skins looked like crystal steam dumplings, and it looked very delicious. As he bit into one, the delicious soup came out from the filling and treated his mouth with incredible flavors. The cabbage was tasty and refreshing, and the pork was tender and fresh. The dumplings tasted amazing and very close to the authentic Jiang Nan style. Xia Chunyu really appreciated that she could take normal, and otherwise boring ingredients, and make it into a superb gourmet meal.

“Come on, let’s eat,” Xia Chunyu told Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao pretended she didn’t hear him and kept on what she was doing.

Xia Chunyu frowned. This woman is so emotional.

“Uncle Jiang and Auntie Jiang are coming to eat dumplings soon. Big sister is still making their portion,” Song Qi explained.

Xia Chunyu just continued to eat dumplings by himself.

“Third-in-charge, third-in-charge, something happened!” Peng Wu shouted as he ran hurriedly inside.

“Spill it,” Xia Chunyu demanded. “Clearly.”

Peng Wu was from Shan Xi, and when he talked, he always rolled his tongue. When he was anxious, people could barely understand what he was saying.

“Third-in-charge, the spy has been seized. First-in-charge is interrogating him right now! He asked you to go there immediately,” Peng Wu said.

Xia Chunyu almost looked comical as he paused with a dumpling inside his mouth. “Really? Who?”

“A brother called Tong Hexiang from the seventh camp.”

Xia Chunyu put his chopsticks down as he finished chewing his dumpling. “Come on, let’s go have a look.”

“I’m going too!” Song Qi eagerly said.

Seeing Song Qi pipe up, Ye Jiayao wondered if there was anything fun to see.

As everyone left, Ye Jiayao felt angry. The dumplings would be cold when they come back, and they wouldn’t be as tasty as the fresh ones. She just wasted her energy cooking it for them!

Another thought popped into her head. If they have really caught the spy, it meant that Chunyu was not a suspect anymore, and the Broken Dragon Stone would be open again. She figured that a plate of cold dumplings was forgivable in the grand scheme of things.
