The three of them looked at each other, because the candidate that the Jin family had in mind was also Deputy Secretary Shangguan Fu, but they just wanted to use Feng Yuxing's mouth to confirm their ideas.

"Tell me your reasons. It's just a casual chat and cannot be used as a basis for gossiping about the provincial party committee leaders!" Qiao Guping justified himself.

"Look at what you're saying. Am I that kind of person?" Feng Yuxing said with a laugh. "Oh right! Comrade Xia Liwan, our provincial director who retired due to illness some time ago, was brought up by the Jin family..."

"Wait... Isn't Xia Liwan someone related to the Jing family in Yancheng?" Qiao Guping said anxiously.

"That's just on the surface. Of course, we can't say it has nothing to do with the Jing family! But its foundation is the Jin family. It's this Jin Mulin who secretly manipulated things. I guess even the Jin family members may not be aware of it! But there is one person who may have a direct connection to the Yancheng Jin family!"

There is a light-hearted and humorous tone in Feng Yuxing's words, just like a spring breeze blowing on your face, giving people a real yet playful feeling.

"Who?" Qiao Guping asked directly. He also wanted to know who Feng Yuxing was talking about.

"Comrade Shangguan Fu, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee! Otherwise, why would he oppose me so fiercely? If it were just Comrade Xia Liwan, it would be impossible for these things in Yuyuan City to be suppressed for five years, and for the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to be unaware of the news! Some retired officials in Yuyuan City are speculating that it might be Secretary Shangguan!"

He spoke very frankly about Feng Yuxing, but he did not mention that he had tea with Guan Yu, the former secretary of the Yuyuan Municipal Party Committee, to inquire about the news.

After hanging up the call with He Feng and Xing, Qiao Guping looked at Nie Wenli and Zhang Ge and said, "What do you two think?"

"What this kid said does make sense. I saw that the person who recommended Comrade Xia Liwan as the candidate for Vice Governor was Comrade Shangguan Fu!"

Zhang Ge spoke very slowly as he recalled the past.

the next day.

In a secluded courtyard inside a unique building in the "Iron Horses and Golden Swords" in the bustling and noisy Yancheng, two figures were sitting.

They sat opposite each other, with exquisite tea sets placed in front of them, and were leisurely savoring the fragrant tea.

The morning sun filtered through the dappled leaves, casting a pattern of interlaced light and shadow on the ground. A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, intensifying the tea's fragrance.

"Secretary Chu, why did you suddenly ask me to have tea with you?" Jin Mulong was very happy and said with a smile on his face.

"It just so happens that I don't have much to do today, so I wanted to invite you, Mr. Jin, to have some tea. It's not illegal!" Chu Dongheng said to Jin Mulong.

"Of course, there's no need to explain further. Secretary Chu, you must be the only one personally invited to enjoy tea with me. And today, I'm fortunate enough to be one of them. I'm truly honored!"

What Jin Mulong said was true. Besides, he had asked Chu Dongheng out for tea before, but was unsuccessful. This time, Chu Dongheng took the initiative to ask him out, so of course he considered it an honor.

He went on to say, "It's an honor, but if you say you don't have something important to tell me right now, I definitely won't believe you!"

"Yeah! You're right to think so. After all, you're a master who can shake Yancheng with just one step. You can't just make an appointment with someone casually. Everyone's time is precious!"

Chu Dongheng said lightly.

"Oh! Speaking of things like 'young master', if you weren't in the officialdom, you, Secretary Chu, would be the ultimate 'young master'. I'm just riding on the coattails of my family!"

Jin Mulong kept a low profile.

"Young Master Jin, in Yancheng, you and Ji Wuye can be considered wise men. Unfortunately, you were too low-key back then and didn't stop Lu Yixiang, allowing this sinister scoundrel to run amok and ruin your reputation as the Four Young Masters of Yancheng. How irresponsible of you!"

Chu Dongheng said jokingly.

The Four Young Masters of Yancheng mentioned by Chu Dongheng are the four major families of Yancheng: Wei, Lu, Jin, and Ji. The Four Young Masters are Wei Guodong, Lu Xiangqi, Jin Mulong, and Ji Wuye, and Wei Guodong is Chu Dongheng's half-brother.

At that time, Lu Yixiang used the Lu family as the number one family in Yancheng to raise his own status and did many immoral things.

"Secretary Chu, what happened back then? Do you think Ji Wuye and I could have stopped that scoundrel Lu Xiangqi? He calls himself the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, and he uses shady tricks every day. You have to stay three kilometers away from him even when you pee!"

Jin Mulong said aggrievedly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about your Jin Mulin!" Chu Dongheng said with a smile.

"Isn't Jin Mulin in the police station? How can he still cause trouble? Does he have connections everywhere?" Jin Mujin said puzzledly.

"It's not about the present, it's about the things left over from the past!" Chu Dongheng lit a cigarette, threw one to Jin Mulong, blew the smoke, and said slowly,

"In Yinhai Yuyuan City, he invested in and founded a factory specializing in electric vehicle manufacturing in his early years. With the passage of time, changes in the market, and guidance from the government, this factory has now been transformed and upgraded into a new energy company.

Unfortunately, he resorted to underhanded tactics again. He got a few cars from other new energy vehicle manufacturers, put their designed logos on them, and said they were developed by them, in order to get government subsidies.

When he started investing in building a factory, he did not seem to consider the interests of the local people and played dirty.

When the government expropriated their land, it only gave each household one-sixth of the land compensation, making the government bear the blame.

Although the development of the company is for the progress of society, it is regrettable that it ignores the interests of the people.

When the people whose land was expropriated could not get the promised land compensation, they went to the government to petition, and he even ordered the government to detain those petitioners.

There are still some illegal things! The people above still give your Jin family some face, so let me communicate with you so that you can deal with this matter quickly!

If you can't go there yourself, you have to send someone reliable! Of course, before you go, you can meet Jin Mulin to understand the whole story! "

Chu Dongheng's tone was calm. After all, this was Jin Mulin's fault, and the Jin family was kept in the dark. There was no need for him to go on and on with the Jin family.

"Damn! This guy can actually run a 'private business'! He's such a hassle, using the Jin family's name to scam people everywhere. He's such a troublemaker!"

Jin Mulong screamed in astonishment. He also understood why Chu Dongheng was interested in inviting him for tea. It turned out that Jin Mulin had such a mess.
