Liu Zhizhong knew that Hongyang was feeling uncomfortable, whether out of hatred or jealousy, but Hongyang really couldn't do anything about us!
Liu Zhizhong understood that in Shanan, he had effectively suppressed Hongyang completely.
Achievements were there for Hongyang, but the prestige and status were not something possible to give him. Even if Hongyang appeared bright with his achievements, he was suffocated in life and couldn't be arrogant—this was the desired effect that Liu Zhizhong wanted.
Now it all seemed satisfactory.
Immediately, Liu Zhizhong casually said, "Ah, for the development of Shanan, we must unite, pool our wisdom and strength! I've been here recuperating, but even while idle, I can still do some work within my capabilities."
Hongyang felt uncomfortable hearing this and said, "You're not recuperating; you're just enjoying life there. Don't think I don't know, right?"
