"Eldest Young Master Wang, isn't the Wang Family overreaching a bit?"
At the gates of the Inner City, Hu Yuxing didn't step out from the shadows until Su Mu had disappeared in the direction of the Outer City.
Wang Guan fanned himself with a paper fan, a smug look on his face. "You're being so subtle. I have no idea what you mean."
"Su Mu is a constable of my South City Bureau. It was I who promoted him to squad leader.
Now you're interfering. You're breaking the rules."
Hu Yuxing said gravely.
The four great families of the Inner City were locked in both open and secret struggles. For now, however, they maintained a superficial peace, and on the surface, everyone still followed certain unwritten rules.
"No, no."
Wang Guan shook his head. "I've told you, Su Mu isn't one of our Wang Family. He and I are just friends, on a personal basis. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Wang Family. Or do I, Wang Guan, need to report to you, Sima Hu, every time I make a friend?"
