"Why are you so super clingy tonight, Mingshen?" Jia asked, seeing Mingshen seated close to her in the Bureau and not leaving her side even for a moment.
"It's our victory, Spicy. We should be out celebrating, but here you are working to your last bone."
"We have taken Commissioner Zhong into our custody. You do realize it's a huge thing, don't you? It's gonna shake all kinds of apples from all kinds of trees. Then a freaking Politburo family," she shook her head and leaned back in her chair.
"Ah…I don't see an easy life coming ahead…"
Mingshen pouted. "Why not? On the contrary, the other standing families would be happy to get rid of them and bring in some new faces~"
"But do you think the Hous' will give up so soon? They haven't amassed their influence over nothing. They are not gonna sit quiet and accept prison time like it's a birthday gift."
