Liu Qingyuan glanced at Song Xiaodong, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Chief Jiang, it seems your ambition is not yet dead. This kind of thought, it looks like you have been dwelling on it quite a bit, otherwise how would others know about it?"
This was clearly another attempt to put a label on Jiang Xueliang. Initially, he would have tried explaining himself, mentioning something about the impulsiveness of youth, but his anger had already been provoked by Liu Qingyuan. Unable to hold back any longer, he scoffed coldly and said, "Liu Qingyuan, you don't need to play the clever trickster here. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, it won't always be smooth sailing for you, and I, Jiang Xueliang, will not always be at the bottom."
