That meant Cheng Yu and I had guessed right. Master Zhao was playing a double game, ostensibly cooperating with the Zheng Family, but in reality, he was working with Wu Cheng.

But what benefits could Master Zhao reap from such a scheme?

With that thought, I took the initiative to pour a cup of water from the teapot on the table and handed it to Mrs. Wu, "I just want to know exactly what kind of deal Secretary Wu has struck with Master Zhao, if Cheng Yu can do the same, then working for my wife would be all the more convenient."

That way, Mrs. Wu wouldn't have to get her hands dirty at all, not even needing to show her face.

Mrs. Wu remained silent, merely picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
