374 To Not Commit Oneself Until Success Is Certain (1/2)
As he left with Wang Baole, Lin Tianhao had wanted to say something but stopped himself, until he could no longer bear it when the two of them reached the Mayor's Office in the new city zone—which now had its initial stage completed. He cupped his fists at Wang Baole and spoke.
”Mayor, this Li Yi must be plotting something. Furthermore, when she came, she brought along thousands of escorts, behaving in an imposing manner as she interfered with each and every matter…”
”Now that Mayor Wang has given her control over the new city zone's construction, I am worried that… problems will arise.” Lin Tianhao couldn't understand what Wang Baole was thinking. Even though he felt that Wang Baole wasn't one to let others take advantage of him and that those who opposed him wouldn't be any better off either, he was still worried about Li Yi's presence, and he softly reminded Wang Baole.
Seeing how much effort Lin Tianhao had put in, Wang Baole was heartened as he patted his shoulder. He sat down and took out a bag of snacks, cheerfully speaking as he munched on them.
”Tianhao, I know what I'm doing in my handling of the matter. What I need you to do next is to keep a close eye on Li Yi. Don't stop her for anything. Instead, report everything to me as soon as you can.”
Lin Tianhao blinked in a confused manner. He wasn't ignorant, and after hearing Wang Baole's words, he thought about what Wang Baole had been through. Immediately, a look of realization flashed across his face as he finally understood that Wang Baole was trying to trick Li Yi into making a mistake.
Therefore, Lin Tianhao heaved a sigh of relief and agreed. He then discussed matters regarding the construction of the new city zone and left after receiving instructions from Wang Baole.
As he watched Lin Tianhao leave, Wang Baole patted his stomach in a satisfied manner and chuckled.
Li Yi, right now, the cave has been dug for you. What's next is to see how you would jump into it yourself.
While Wang Baole was basking in delight, Li Yi was leading the escorts arranged by the four Dao Colleges, arriving at her designated workplace. She fell silent, as she still felt that something was amiss, but was excited to start work at the same time.
She understood that this was a golden opportunity for her!
In reality, she was extremely unhappy that Wang Baole had become the mayor. To her, she found it easier to accept Kong Dao as the mayor instead. However, as fate would have it, that pig became the person in charge of the new city zone, which made her feel indignant and disgusted.
This time, her goal wasn't to become the vice mayor. Instead, it was to kick Wang Baole away and take charge of everything. This wasn't approved by the White Deer Dao College, but Li Yi felt that the Dao College would support her if it became a reality.
The people from the Dao College obviously hate Wang Baole to the core. However, they are too pedantic, giving excuses about stability, and about how the time isn't right… Everything is in the control of our own hands, and that is the greatest form of stability. As for the right time for things to happen… that is created by humans too! Li Yi sneered, unhappy that the Dao College didn't support her views.
As a result of her goal and attitude, she immediately took initiative and grabbed hold of power when Wang Baole went into seclusion previously. She wanted a part in every matter, as her goal was to remove Wang Baole from power.
She had planned to do everything step by step and estimated that she would need a year's time to slowly and successfully reach her goal. However, now that Wang Baole had relinquished his authority to her, Li Yi was agitated, her eyes revealing a look of bewilderment.
She was very clear that Wang Baole had become the mayor with the entire Federation as his witness. That meant that he had a strong backing and foundation, which made it difficult for the situation to change, unless…
”I just have to prove that his Eternal Fortress isn't as perfect as others have imagined, and is no match for my Global Dharma City!” Li Yi mumbled. She understood that in order to achieve this, she couldn't do it in an obvious manner, and should instead appear to abide by the rules on the surface while going against them in secret. It would appear that she was constructing the Eternal Fortress, but was actually waiting to ambush. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
At the same time, she belittled the Eternal Fortress. In her opinion, she was the representative of the four Dao Colleges. Even though her Global Dharma City had failed in the assessment, it still lasted until the end. Wang Baole may have won, but his stronghold was destroyed eventually as well.
That was what made Li Yi so confident.
Once I have proven this point, the Dao College would naturally take action and collaborate with other factions to kick Wang Baole away, in order for me to smoothly ascend to the position of the new mayor! With that thought, Li Yi grew even more passionate as she immediately pushed aside her suspicions and became determined. She secretly made plans to pretend to be constructing the Eternal Fortress on the surface, while building her own Global Dharma City in secret!
