When Shi Maocheng saw that things were moving far away from him, he immediately redirected the conflict.
In his opinion, the reason behind the president's utmost trust in the Chi family was that he had granted the most important Eagle Special Forces into Grandpa Chi Yang, Chi Yang's father, and Chi Yang's hands. Even if Chi Yang's father died in a battle, the commander-in-chief of the special forces was still Leng Jinpeng, who was appointed by Old Master Chi. The president allowed all of these because he pitied the Chi family for having so few members.
However, now that he mentioned a "strong alliance", it would definitely plant a seed of doubt in the president's heart. After all, there were too many young, outstanding men in the Nangong family.
Nangong Shu was also extremely triggered by Shi Maocheng's words, but there was nothing he could do for now. Anything he said now would sound wrong.
