While Ji Yang was here contemplating how to devise a plan, he received another piece of information, which indicated that Cao Jiakun and Fang Shijun were showing signs of aligning with each other.

After receiving this message, Ji Yang quickly thought of a situation where both men could seriously be considered as son-in-laws of certain powerful families in the Capital City, or rather, controlled by those families lurking in the background.

Cao Jiakun was the son-in-law of the He Family in the Capital City and had always been supported by the family. Now, although he had risen through the ranks, he was still firmly under the He Family's control.

Fang Shijun was the son-in-law of the Lu Family and was similarly under their control.

It seemed quite normal for them to come together.
