"So you mean you're the boss of the East District now?" Qian Zhengjun asked directly after hearing all this.
"Yes! You could say that."
Wu Gang responded solemnly, his expression and tone exuding a strong sense of presence.
The reason Wu Gang spoke so candidly was that he had realized that Qian Zhengjun was essential for him to establish a firm foothold in Linjiang City. Therefore, Wu Gang had to keep Qian Zhengjun under his thumb, implying that just as he could help Qian Zhengjun rise to the position of city head, he could also pull him down.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Wu Gang still needed to show respect to Qian Zhengjun, after all, only through cooperation could they go further together.
Wu Gang knew very well that if he only relied on his connections and status to pressure Qian Zhengjun, it could lead to Qian Zhengjun's resistance, which was not the outcome he wanted. He wanted Qian Zhengjun to understand his importance while also willingly following his lead.
