"Because originally the reason I had saved the City Lord and his wife was very likely because Lu Tiankuo had sent someone to assassinate them," Lin Baizhong explained.
"Of course, this is just speculation. Lu Tiankuo acts meticulously, without exposing any mistakes. That assassination attempt also wasn't confirmed as his doing, but the City Lord had already confirmed it was him.
Since there was no evidence, and because Lu Tiankuo is the biological son of the Old Madam in the City Lord's Mansion, it wasn't easy for the City Lord to act against him directly. So, slowly, bit by bit, he eliminated the forces under his command.
Up till now, he had almost completely removed them."
"Has it really been almost completely removed?" asked Sui Zimo.
Hearing this, Lin Baizhong chuckled softly, giving a meaningful look at his son-in-law.
"At least, in the City Lord's eyes, he has already mostly eliminated the forces around his ambitious brother," he said.
"That means none."
