Standing on the Side of Justice
Five people were crowded into a tiny self-service Beverage Shop. After Brother Luo and the others heard Fang Jing recount how Fu Jie had been replaced, they fell silent. A moment later, Brother Fu patted Xu Huo on the shoulder. "I thought it was just a lucky guess, but I never imagined there was so much more to it. If an ordinary person had been harmed, then even if the other side had some status, it probably wouldn't have caused much of a stir.
