Meanwhile, in a small courtyard in the western district of South City, Gu Xi was poring over some documents, contemplating how to approach her upcoming conversation with the deputy base chief.
Everyone assumed she had come to South City to discuss seed distribution rights and pay her respects to the new base chief, a man surnamed Zhou.
In reality, however, Gu Xi's target on this trip to South City was the deputy base chief—Zhang Cheng.
This deputy base chief appeared unassuming and kept a low profile, but he was actually a man of hidden depths. His background was rumored to be quite complex.
Suddenly, Gu Xi's gaze fell upon a particular line in the file, and she paused.
'The deputy chief's abnormal ability only awakened ten years ago? And from the looks of it, he went the route of ability research?'
For some reason, however, Gu Xi saw traces of Li Ming in this.
Gu Xi frowned slightly.
