"And if he doesn’t come forward?"
Chen Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"I bet he won’t ignore me, otherwise, I wouldn’t mind stealthily slipping the thing Zhao Jiaqi has into Guo Baoming’s hands. After all, he has also made overtures to me. Even if neither of them cares about me, there’s still the backing from the province. I just want to see how many eyes are around me and how deep their roots go."
Lin Fan’s words left Chen Jiayi suddenly silent. Clearly, her expression became grave, and it took a long time before she spoke, "I really didn’t expect you to be so slick at this game of power. Tell me honestly, is there anyone else besides me giving you advice?"
"How could that be? How many people can I trust in this world? It’s just that with a safety net, I thought about taking a risk.
