“It’s not what I said, I also heard it from Big Brother Yao,” Li Ning hurriedly explained.

Wang Zhiheng’s face changed, and with a punch to his palm, he cursed, “Damn, this soft al, really being eaten by that kid!”

“Yang Peng is lucky, huh, rising through ranks on his uncle’s coattails, he even got to be the head of a departnt, damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have shown that kid the way.”

“Wang, keep it down,” Li Ning quickly gestured with his hands, looking around guiltily and whispered, “Yang Peng said not to talk about this matter.”

“He…” Wang Zhiheng’s mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say sothing but in the end just mumbled and said nothing.

Yang Peng was now the head of internal affairs, and to make things difficult for him, was just a matter of saying the word.

…

In the following three days, the upper echelons of Silver Grey City were unstable.

The Managent Committee comprised of five mbers, each responsible for one of Silver Grey City’s major departnts, and these individuals were simultaneously brought down.

It was said when they were arrested, they were utterly dumbfounded, and after understanding the full situation, they cursed Qin Xiao’s ancestors for eighteen generations.

There were many others affected by the purge, not just the city’s defense; the entire Silver Grey City’s sky had changed.

The citizens of Silver Grey City went from being initially bewildered to regarding it as normal.

“9%…” Li Ming, dressed only in his briefs, his naked body suffused with a reddish glow, white vapor rising from his skin.

The device in front of him displayed his current developnt progress; for now, he was putting all else aside, indifferent to the outside world, focusing on developing his abilities.

After activating his abilities, he had a threefold speed boost in developnt, yet even so, the pace of developnt was not particularly optimistic.

“I should get a few more gene testing devices, stack the effects, the developnt rate should increase quite a bit,” Li Ming was mulling over it; he had this idea for so ti, now he had the chance to act on it.

He didn’t have much open money; he’d received his salary and bonuses two days ago, a total of fifteen thousand Star Coins, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

There was still money in the Black Hole Network, but he didn’t want to be fleeced over this trifle.

Next ti he saw Old Wu, he planned to shalessly ask for more, he thought.

“Brother Li, ah, you finally ca out,” Just as he stepped out of the special training room, he saw Lin Yaoxian greeting him from not too far away.

His face bore a sycophantic smile.

This guy told people what they wanted to hear, a true opportunist, but surprisingly, he hadn’t really been involved in any shady dealings.

Du Cheng, the head of logistics, had been taken down, yet he remained unscathed for the ti being.

“Head Lin, what a coincidence,” Li Ming said as he wiped his hair.

“What coincidence, I’ve been waiting here for you for six or seven hours,” Lin Yaoxian said sowhat plaintively.

“You wanted to see ?”

Lin Yaoxian’s face was all smiles: “I reserved a spot at the Silver City Hotel, and I was hoping to invite you over for a al.”

“A al?” Li Ming glanced at him and shook his head: “Not interested.”

“Minister Lin, if there’s sothing, just say it.”

Lin Yaoxian’s expression changed, he looked around like a thief and whispered:

“Young brother, if I’ve offended you before, please don’t take it to heart, you know, working under that bastard Qin Xiao, there were many things I was helpless to do.”

“I know your family’s situation is tough, I’ve saved up so money over the years, and I was thinking of sponsoring you a bit.”

Sending money his way?

Li Ming was slightly surprised; surely this guy couldn’t be this scared?

“Young brother might not know, but now Yang Peng, as the head of internal affairs, is also taking on the role of head of logistics,” Lin Yaoxian’s voice was filled with envy: “Professor Wu specially praised him for having the courage to denounce the higher-ups.”

Li Ming understood; Old Wu was really roundabout, ostensibly elevating Yang Peng’s status and thereby influencing him, achieving a kind of indirect protection.
