Liu Yong's remarks caught many people off guard, including He Yusheng. He Yusheng couldn't understand why Governor Liu would express his stance in such a clear manner, offering his explicit support to Nie Zhenbang at this time.
However, Nie Zhenbang appeared completely composed at the moment, with Liu Yong's performance falling entirely within his expectations. If this were not the case, if Liu Yong had truly turned a deaf ear, that would have been surprising.
Nie Zhenbang had thoroughly analyzed a person like Liu Yong. Born in the old society, Liu Yong had experienced many hardships and struggled through difficult times, emerging step by step from a tough environment. Even though he now held a high and powerful position, there were things engrained deep in his bones that could not be erased, such as frugality and thriftiness.
