Mo Bao'er: "I see that Brother Li has no worries at all, and he seems to be very open-minded. I really don't know how he plans to act."
Mo Qing chuckled: "You still call her Brother Li? At this banquet, quite a few people were betting on whether she would wear men's or women's clothing."
Mo Bao'er said with disgust, "How boring! These people claim to be of extraordinary status, yet they insist on bringing up gender. How despicable."
Mo Qing just smiled and didn't say anything. Whether it was low-level or not, it didn't matter. As long as it was useful to many people, that was enough. If Li Jia's identity as a woman were to be completely spread, it would definitely affect her prestige.
Men naturally tend to look down on women. Li Jia only has the Qiushan Base behind her, and unlike other bases, she doesn't form cliques or expand her influence at crucial moments.
People used to think she was aloof and unsociable, but now that they know she's a woman, they laugh at her for being short-sighted and lacking a sense of the big picture and long-term vision. Women are just like that.
Mo Bao'er sat for a while before finally speaking: "I may have found someone who knows Li Jia's background."
Mo Qing looked up in surprise: "Who is it?"
The name Li Jia is obviously an alias, but most information databases are incomplete, and Li Jia never reveals her full identity or leaves any trace, making it difficult to investigate her background.
The Mo family's keen interest in her background wasn't due to any ill intent; it was simply a matter of being one step ahead in sharing information that everyone wanted to know.
Mo Bao'er knew her father's character before she finally spoke up. Although Li Jia was a very important friend to her, she didn't want her father to fall behind. Between the two, her father was more important.
Mo Bao'er: "I think Brother Li and Jian Ye, the base chief of the Jian family base, are old acquaintances. We came here together, and I think Brother Li must have thought of this too. I will tell Dad about this."
Mo Qing knew what her daughter was thinking and smiled, "Don't worry, Li Jia saved Chengcheng, so he is our Mo family's benefactor. I will never use these things to coerce or manipulate her."
Thinking of Li Jia's character, Mo Bao'er felt a surge of pride for him and said, "I don't think Brother Li cares much about this matter, nor is he afraid of these so-called manipulations and coercion."
Li Ke was indeed not afraid. If her identity as a woman was exposed, her true identity would be found out sooner or later.
Perhaps Xiao Yi, out of consideration for their past relationship, wouldn't reveal his identity, but there were quite a few people who had interacted and worked with her at the N City shelter.
Li Ke could tell that Xiao Yi's current behavior seemed more subdued than before; he had changed quite a bit and didn't seem very comfortable in the military.
Li Ke had no intention of living in anonymity forever. Even if people found out her identity, it wouldn't matter. In this world, there was only what she wanted to do or was willing to do. There was no one or anything that could threaten or control her, so what did she have to be afraid of?
Jian Ye went to the Mo family, and the Mo family will soon find out about her past. Only then did Li Ke remember that she also had some connection with the Mo family. She wondered what Mo Qing's expression would be when he found out.
Song Xian and his group arrived at the reception center a day earlier than Li Ke, and they had already booked rooms there in advance.
Although a lot of people came to the party, the reception center always had vacant rooms.
Because most of the bases have already been built, especially the infrastructure within the first ring road, which is highly valued by those who own bases. Even those who did not invest in the bases within the first ring road have their own residential areas.
Among these people, you and I are like brothers, and we share common interests. Naturally, we will treat our own people well. Therefore, people with some status now have their own private villas and do not need to eat in the reception center's canteen.
Li Ke also owns a private residence, but she doesn't care about it. It's still under construction and ready for occupancy, but Li Ke feels it's not as convenient as the reception center, where the venue is just a few steps away.
Sitting in their suite's living room, Li Ke was reviewing the information Song Xian and Qiu Feng had collected over the past few days, as well as statistics on the base's hidden strength.
Song Xian chimed in, "Currently, the most prominent families in the chieftain's bases are the Song, Li, Kong, Mo, Jin, and Qiu families. These six families have already gathered all the smaller forces below them. As for the remaining thirty-odd chieftain's bases, they have also made their choices based on the situation. So far, we are the only holdout left."
After Song Xian finished speaking, Qiu Feng continued, "The Mo, Li, and Kong families have always been quite friendly to us on the surface, but the Song, Jin, and Qiu families have been much more aggressive. Our base has been under stricter access control lately. Someone has taken bribes and is deliberately making things difficult for us. The mastermind behind this is the Song family. It's easy to investigate, and they're not afraid of us finding out."
Li Ke closed the document. She only focused on the power distribution and strength of those leaders. These people didn't attack her before because of their superiors, and now they want to attack her because of their superiors' instructions.
但说到底，上面也只会选择旁观，若真加入进来，下面的这些基地恐怕也会有所不满。
李珂没有多少时间跟这些人扯皮，她还想再出去看看呢，这次她要给他们来个一劳永逸，一力降十会！
