"Funny thing is, according to Si Huzi, back when they were in the Capital City, Deng Qingjiang did whatever Ah Hong said, practically fawning over her, nodding and bowing all the time. But over in Huchuan, from what we've seen, now Ah Hong acts really gentle toward Deng Qingjiang, talks to him in this soft tone, and it's Deng Qingjiang whose back is straight as a rod, like the whole dynamic's flipped."
"Most likely Deng Qingjiang's already won favor with their big boss behind the scenes." Jiang Xiao let out a cold laugh.
She had zero doubt about Deng Qingjiang's ability in that regard.
"Very possible. The guy Ah Hong's been waiting for over there—when they talk business, he keeps talking to Deng Qingjiang, like he's always asking for his opinion."
"So lately they're still staying put in Huchuan?"
"Looks that way. That place seems to be Ah Hong's base camp. They probably feel a lot safer there and don't plan on leaving for now."
