"But if I don't go, all of us will be in danger."

She was right; the moment Lin Kang was elected, none of them would escape unscathed, including Xinghe.
"Still, we can't let you go." Grandfather Xi denied her request. "Even though you can definitely hold your own, the country's not that liberal to allow a woman to meddle in the election, so what can you do even if you go?"
Xinghe nodded. "I know, but I have to give it a try no matter what. What if I manage to find an opening to fight back?"
"If that was so easy, we would have found such an opening a long time ago."
"Maybe that's because we haven't looked hard enough. The Lin family is basically a crime cartel with the amount of illegal activities they're involved in; there must be some clues lying about that we haven't seen yet. Grandfather Xi, I don't like hidden threats; since we know the basics of everything that has been going on, I cannot sit idle like sitting duck and leave our fate to god."
