The news of Chen Mu being cured of his "disease" quickly spread throughout the base. Even Jiao Si found out about it from start to finish. After the deliberate embellishments of Xi Ping and the others, his close relations with Sue Lochiro were vividly spread.
Jiao Si, who hadn't been very clear about it all, was stunned scared. He rushed to constrain the card artisans under him. To steal the woman of the boss on someone else's site wouldn't be tolerated, no matter who did it.
Maybe the base didn't amount to much in Jiao Si's eyes, but the demonstrated potential of that bunch, and especially its number-one, Chen Mu, was unfathomable in his eyes. The potential represented by someone who could break through the Van Sant System was something no one could doubt. Jiao Si had already warned the scholars under him with any information that they absolutely couldn't let the news out.
