Why would Wang Ye share all this with A Bu?
Obviously, he had his own motives.
This was his way of implying that his relationship with the Kremlin was now very good!
From what Wang Ye knew of A Bu from their "past lives", this man was intelligent and suspicious, but also a bit timid!
A Bu only began to thrive in the late Oligarch era.
With his shrewd eye, he had bet on The Emperor, believing that he could secure his position and willingly drew closer to him.
In retrospect, this was the right move.
The Oligarchs either died or escaped, while A Bu flourished.
Given his relationship with The Emperor, he should have been able to accomplish much more.
But A Bu, for fear of following in the same footsteps as the oligarchs and being "cleared out", started to withdraw from the scene cautiously.
His appointment in Chukotka State demonstrated this.
