The Peace Hotel is like iron, while the Four Major Families are like flowing water. Even if Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis were executed by the Patrol Defense Office, new successors would appear within a few days. The Peace Hotel would never allow one family to dominate.
As expected, two days later, Yang Xiao received a message from Daoist Qingfeng, stating that both Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis had returned to Xiang Ma Town. However, they were surprisingly low-key and did not retaliate.
Daoist Qingfeng advised Yang Xiao to stay calm, assuring him that he would closely monitor the movements of these two families.
During Yang Xiao's absence from Rongcheng, Director Nalan handled the work of the Patrol Defense Office, while most of the responsibilities of the Three-party Action Bureau fell to Fu Qingzhu.
This was not entirely due to Fu Qingzhu's competence but rather because the other three equal-ranking leaders were inadequate.
