Liang Yueru was slightly taken aback, utterly surprised by Xu Qianli's words.
In Jiang City, she was famous for having insider information, and she knew everything that happened at the County Government this morning.
She was aware that Xu Qianli had helped Lan Qianrong deal with Zhang Kuisan, only to be dismissed from all his positions by Lan Qianrong.
She had thought Xu Qianli came to the White Cloud Tea House to ask for her help, to persuade Lan Qianrong to show some mercy and not be too harsh.
However, to her surprise, Xu Qianli was using her to challenge Lan Qianrong!
He, a mere department-level cadre who was now out of office, daringly challenged Lan Qianrong, who was the County Magistrate—what audacity!
After collecting herself, Liang Yueru couldn't help but try to persuade him.
"Why must you do this? What's the need for things to become so tense?"
