As soon as he got home, Ji Wan woke up his father, Ziggy, who was already fast asleep.
"What is it? What's the big rush? I was in the middle of a great dream when you woke me!" Ziggy's eyes flashed with anger. He'd been sleeping soundly when Ji Wan roused him with a relentless combination of shouting and knocking on the door.
Who wouldn't be grumpy after being woken up like that?
Although Ziggy was middle-aged, he had a larger build than Ji Wan. Combined with his years of herding on the steppe, his features were rugged and imposing. When he got angry, he looked fierce enough to make a passing wolf wag its tail.
Seeing the anger on his father's face, Ji Wan felt a shiver of apprehension and quickly explained the whole situation from beginning to end.
"Hmm? What's the story with this Su fellow?" Ziggy's expression had returned to calm, but his brow was deeply furrowed.
