"Once we've cleared out those moles, spies, and backstabbers, Xinjie City can finally enjoy a long period of stability."
Hearing Ai Li's words, Shi Youxin, Lü Cheng, Ji Qinglin—even the upper management like Guan Weihua and Guan Xiao—all looked at her in surprise.
After all, Ai Li is the head of the Academic Faction in Xinjie City, and theoretically all the Academic Faction higher-ups take orders from her.
She was sent here specifically to sideline and restrain Qiu Tu.
So why is it that before the Academic Faction managers could even move against Qiu Tu, their own top boss caved first?
Even if this would benefit Huang Shangzong and needed to be supported, Ai Li shouldn't have been the first one to say it.
Maybe noticing the looks from all the higher-ups, Ai Li's heart skipped a beat. She realized something was off.
Her jumping in to support Qiu Tu like this really did invite unnecessary misunderstandings.
But soon she figured it wasn't a big deal.
