Jiang Changfu was merely the head of a Merchants' Association branch. His power, status, and experience were no match for Kav's.
With a single remark-"Private interests must not override public duty"-Kav used a traditional Huaguo saying to rebuke a scheming man from Huaguo, leaving Jiang Changfu so choked up that he felt as though a rice cake had lodged in his throat. For a long while, he could not utter a word.
The seasoned Kav pressed him at every turn, gradually putting the Jiang Family at a disadvantage in the struggle over Jiang Yuanxiu's body.
But Jiang Changfu still refused to move aside, ordering his men to block the United Government officials.
Kav's gaze turned icy. "Mr. Jiang, are you determined to obstruct a United Government investigation?"
Jiang Changfu forced himself to answer, "Every family has its own troubles. All I know is that the dead deserve respect. I cannot let others desecrate Fourth Uncle's remains as they please!"
"By doing this, Mr. Jiang, you're harming both others and yourself!"
An unmistakable hint of a threat had crept into Kav's words.
As the Bright Sun Merchants' Association's chief representative in State No. 12, Jiang Changfu needed Kav's support in many matters.
At the very least, Kav must not obstruct him or cause trouble.
If they fell out today, his work in State No. 12 would likely become much harder to carry out smoothly.
But Jiang Hao had given him an absolute order: he had to bring Jiang Yuanxiu's body back. Under no circumstances could it fall into Kav's hands.
He had not earned his position as chief representative of State No. 12 step by step. His father, Jiang Hao, had appointed him.
Jiang Changfu knew perfectly well where his loyalties lay.
"Governor Kav, I hope you can understand my grief."
