The news Li Yao brought was indeed important.
Yang Jian had not expected the people from Friends Circle to react so quickly. They had held a meeting overnight to discuss how to deal with him, and someone had even suggested taking him out. Although the proposal had been rejected, it was a dangerous sign. If it could not be stamped out, it would bring him a crisis.
"Jiang Shangbai really is wary of you. He thinks that using the people from Friends Circle to take you out might come at a considerable cost, and..." Li Yao suddenly burst out laughing. "And he thinks you're a madman. Spending so much effort to get rid of a madman simply isn't worth it."
"Your performance at Headquarters was indeed very good. You made people think you were just a hotheaded kid, that the potential threat you posed was not as great as imagined. Otherwise, the contents of this Friends Circle meeting would probably have been different."
Yang Jian shook his head slightly. "Wrong. They're wary of me not because I'm a hotheaded kid, but because they know my retaliation will be brutal, and I have the ability to inflict losses they cannot bear.

Li Yao smiled softly. "Your judgment is sharp. That's one of your greatest strengths. The people from Friends Circle do have other plans for you, but they aren't hostile. They want to win you over. They want you to join Friends Circle."
"Join them? Tell me
