Liu Bo didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he walked over and patted Tang You on the shoulder—
"Shen Yue has been acting a bit too recklessly. The old master is none too pleased, but he and Mr. Shen have been friends for years, so it's not convenient for him to intervene directly…"
'So you're looking for a scapegoat to take the fall, huh?'
Tang You scoffed inwardly, sidestepping to avoid Liu Bo's hand as it pressed down firmly on his shoulder.
'The Liu Family must be tired of Shen Yue's meddling, but they can't be the ones to stop him. So they want me to use my authority over City A's affairs to make things difficult for Shen Yue, who's currently pouring all his effort into disaster relief. They hope he'll realize the difficulty and retreat.'
'They've certainly played their cards well.'
Tang You wasn't an idiot. He couldn't afford to offend the Liu Family, but he couldn't afford to offend Gu Xi and the Shen Family, either.
