Lately, Chi Chali has been basking in the glow of good fortune.
The lackeys who once avoided him when things seemed amiss have now returned to curry favor.
Second Master conducted a thorough purge, weeding out those whose loyalty wavered.
Yet no matter how capable the newcomers or old guards proved to be, Wei Hang remained Chi Chali's closest confidant.
In stark contrast to Chi Chali's radiant success, Wei Hang found himself engulfed in misfortune.
Three shipments of his were intercepted, and even with his powerful connections, he was summoned twice for "tea" with the authorities.
The first time, despite the harsh questioning, he was released soon after.
The second, however, saw him locked up for two full days and nights.
If Old Master Wei hadn't intervened personally, Wei Hang would still be cooling his heels in a detention cell.
