Xu Yiyuan watched his cousin's self-righteous demeanor and was struck with dread. His handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Fangfang, I don't know what your school has been teaching you to lead you to say such theories. This isn't about murder or arson; it's a matter of fairness versus unfairness. Using power to foster personal connections is, in itself, an act of unfairness. On a small scale, it's called favoritism, but on a larger scale? It's using power for personal gain."
Shui Lian noticed Xu Yiyuan's displeasure and immediately responded with a radiant smile, "Yes, Yiyuan is absolutely right. Fangfang and I have learned something here. This is a matter of discipline; the power granted by the Party and the people must serve the people and originate from the people—it cannot be misused."
She recalled what Tian Sangsang had said earlier.
Xu Yiyuan's expression finally softened slightly. He glanced at Shui Lian in surprise before continuing to walk ahead.
