Wei Pingsheng heard this and a flicker of surprise appeared in his eyes. He hadn't expected Li Xinge to say such a thing. It was completely unlike the Li Xinge he remembered: ruthless, unscrupulous, and brimming with ambition.
But Li Xinge was right.

Though Elder Jiang was not of the Li Family, he was the family head's trusted aide and held a high position
