Wang Jian had recently been keeping a close eye on the developments on the Black Water side, so he was the first to see the news sent back by the Xu Family Sisters.
Ever since Lord Shen was transferred to the South, Wang Yiming had taken over the daily affairs of the Black Banner Battalion in Fengri City, while Wang Jian, as a confidant, single-handedly managed every aspect of the Black Water Plan.
In the past, all matters great and small in the Black Water Plan required Lord Shen's decision. Wang Jian handled the relatively detailed or basic tasks. But now, he could truly be said to be "bearing the entire responsibility alone."
Other professions, during the time of war and flames, would more or less suffer setbacks, but intelligence work was quite the opposite: the more tumultuous the times, the easier it was to avoid the usual restraints and to flourish rapidly. In this respect, it shared a common trait with the increasingly booming Black Market.
