The showdown between the Heng City and Star City teams had been orchestrated single-handedly by Yang Xiangchun. It was also the strongest evidence people cited when accusing him of suppressing the Star City team.
But things hadn't gone according to plan. The Heng City team had suffered a crushing defeat in the showdown. Not only had they failed to suppress the Star City team, but they had also lost face and become a laughingstock.
As a result, Yang Xiangchun's standing had plummeted. He suffered another setback in the subsequent vote, losing his position as executive councilor and being replaced by Jiang Yue, the leader of the Star City team.
The whole affair had left Yang Xiangchun deeply embarrassed. He had kept his head down and stayed out of the limelight for a long time afterward.
So quite a few people were surprised when he suddenly spoke up this time.
What was this, Yang Xiangchun? Did he suddenly think he was back in the game? Had the sting of that humiliating slap finally worn off?
Some people present felt that while Yang Xiangchun's words were tinged with personal grudges, they did make some sense. The possibility couldn't be ruled out.
But most people still held him in contempt. Having his position as executive councilor taken by a low-ranking team captain was an enormous humiliation, and it only made them think less of him.
The Heng City team had also been disgraced alongside Yang Xiangchun.
Now that General Zeng had asked about them, everyone was curious to hear more.
Yang Xiangchun stammered, "Commander, a few days ago, Captain You and the others paid you and Deputy Commander Li a visit. They already reported some of the situation then. They haven't sent me any new information in the past few days."
