From that perspective, it wasn't surprising that Liu Bo was in cahoots with the joint investigation team.
"But I feel like something isn't right," Qin Shi said, frowning slightly. She'd had a few dealings with Liu Bo recently, and he was a very capable and intelligent man.
And that was the problem.
'Would a man that smart, after finally breaking free from the oppressive weight that had held him down for so long and becoming his own master, really be willing to submit to someone else again?'
Qin Shi thought it unlikely.
"Something is off," Qi Xiang said thoughtfully. 'If I were Liu Bo, I wouldn't sincerely pledge my allegiance, even if people from the Central Base showed up.'
Besides, anyone with eyes could see that City A was their territory now. Gu Xi wasn't hiding her power, so as long as she was around, it would be difficult for any outsider to interfere in the city's affairs. And given Liu Bo's ambition, he would never settle for being number two if he could be the boss.
