As expected, as soon as Yan Lin opened his mouth on Yang Jian's behalf, Jiang Pengji knew their intention.
Xu Pei was surprised. Listening to Yan Lin in silence, he snuck a glance at Jiang Pengji, wondering if the two forces were in this together.
He had legitimate reasons to suspect that Yang Jian and Jiang Pengji were teaming up to take him down.
"I did not expect that Chief Yang would also have a plan like this," Xu Pei said in a soft voice, adjusting his mood. Everyone wanted to free themselves from the alliance and have fun. No one cared about his feelings anymore. "Everything else is open for discussion. However, this one thing, not so much."
Yan Lin was the surprised one this time. He looked at Jiang Pengji instinctively. "My lord, by 'a plan like this,' do you mean... "
Xu Pei confirmed his guess. "Before Chief Yang came in, Lanting, my younger brother, was talking about a similar plan."
