A single sentence was all it took to dispel the doubts in Deng Shengli’s mind. He had feared that Qi Tongwei might have uncovered something, but instead, the man had merely come to file a complaint. To think he had been worried just a moment ago... Was this the "heaven-sent prodigy" that everyone in Jingzhou was raving about? He was nothing more than a green lad. It was laughable.
Deng Shengli coaxed Qi Tongwei as if he were a spoiled child, patting him and walking him around until he finally ushered him away. He felt a sudden, weary fatigue.
He had no idea that Guan Fei was standing there in a daze, thinking, "My god... the acting skills of this new county mayor are terrifying. His demeanor, his tone, his gaze—it’s pure art. He’s playing Deng Shengli for a fool."
