"Um..." She sensed something was amiss and changed her question: "So, what do you think of Brother Shang's plan? Is it likely to succeed?"

"Well..." Qin Sheng twisted open the water bottle and turned it upside down.

The sound of it all made Xu Ruiling's head spin.

"This bottle represents District 11, and the water inside represents the believers."

Qin Sheng explained, "In reverse, it's Shangwu's plan, and now look at it again."

He handed the empty bottle to Xu Ruiling, who took a closer look and noticed that there were still some water droplets clinging to the bottle.

“The followers are too deeply rooted.” Qin Sheng shook his head: “They can’t be completely eradicated.”

At the very least, martial prowess alone is not enough.

Qin Sheng added in his mind.

"I see..."

Xu Ruiling stared blankly at the plastic water bottle, realizing that she was actually a water droplet hanging above it.

"Ling'er".

Shang Wu glanced at Shen Qing and said, "Let's go, Chang Liangshu has arrived."

Qin Sheng touched his chin, wondering if he had misread it.

Why does Shangwu have a hint of wariness in his eyes?

Are you jealous?

We chatted alone for a while, was it really necessary...?

Qin Sheng was speechless, but immediately followed.

Chang Liangshu's arrival means their plan has begun, and the other ministers are expected to arrive soon.

A slight smile played on her lips; she hoped they wouldn't be too surprised later, after all…

A figure appeared in the distance, causing Hou Yu to frown and look at Shang Wu.

"Are you sure you want the entire patrol team to be present?"

"yes."

"That…"

He then pointed to the person in the distance and asked, "Why is it only Chang Liangshu?"
