Compared to Yan Chen, Huang Shangzong obviously felt much more unfamiliar with Qiu Tu.
So when he heard Yan Chen mention that he wanted to hinder Qiu Tu's progress, his first reaction was confusion.
After all, the gap between him and Qiu Tu was like the bright moon in the sky compared to the fireflies on the ground.
A minor Deputy Chief of the Political Department was truly unable to catch his eye, nor did he deem him worth targeting.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have simply sent an advisor from his side to handle the situation when he suspected Qiu Tu was related to the assassination of Jia Shu.
Therefore, he asked hesitantly, "Is a minor Deputy Chief of the Political Department worth such attention?"
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Yan Chen's murky eyes grew even deeper.
He squeezed out a smile, then explained, "Elder Huang... You might be underestimating this little fellow."
