After all, the higher-ups in Green City had been decidedly ambiguous about this matter.
They were even somewhat indifferent.

It should have been investigated by the Federation's own upper echelons.
Thus, this matter had given Luo Ruyi an opportunity.
As long as Xu Zimo failed to uncover anything and Luo Ruyi beat him into submission, then with his connections—
