Yan Xingshun had never expected things to turn out this way either. If he could join forces with He Chengjun, they would have been effective. However, the two could no longer join forces, and now a new situation had arisen. He hadn't fully supported Gui Ping earlier, which caused Gui Ping to not wholly support him in return, leaving him to stand all alone.
Why had it come to this?
Upon seeing the situation and reviewing the forces at play, Yan Xingshun realized that he could no longer oppose Ji Yang. If he cooperated with Ji Yang, he might even stand a chance against He Chengjun. Otherwise, he would face complete failure.
Thinking this, Yan Xingshun said, "Looking at the current situation, there are significant differences among us. How about we keep things as they were for the office of political affairs? Mr. Ji Yang, please continue to take responsibility for the work of the office."
