Gong Heng and Jing Huan were discussing matters in the study when Jing Huan relayed the information he had learned from Quan Yu to Gong Heng.
"Mu Dian doesn't want to be controlled by you."
Gong Heng's slender fingers tapped forcefully on the table, calm and composed, refined and gentle, yet his eyes narrowed dangerously, emitting a thick sense of danger that spoke of malevolence unlike any other, "He's not qualified."
Mu Dian, a fierce beast in exile, did he truly believe his return could change anything? Did he think that by controlling Jin Ruomei, he could control all of B City?
He didn't consider that B City was the territory of the four great families, each non-interfering yet mutually restraining the others. Even if he gained the Jin Family, he would only have the eastern district. Moreover, B City's situation was fraught with eager contenders; if the Jin Family fell, a second and a third would rise, and it definitely would not be the foreign Mu Family.
Wishful thinking!
