Jiang Yun's voice was stern and icy. "Was this your doing?"
A few hours earlier.
Jiang Yun had seen...
An email sitting quietly in his inbox.
Its contents were-
Some of the most damning dirt from his decades in politics.
Pick anyone at their level, and none of them had clean hands.
But such things could never be brought out into the open.

Xiao Cheng walked aside with his phone. "It was me."

A trace of amusement crossed Jiang Chiyan's eyes, and he said gently, "Thank you, Teacher Xiao Cheng."
Xiao Cheng gave a low chuckle. "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you
