However, all their actions were observed by the detectives hidden in the shadows, and a list was soon delivered to Liu Hong's desk.
"Ha~, just recommending candidates for the civil service and setting up a few schools, and they've attracted so many people? Looks like they're really used to being arrogant and domineering!"
