Luo Wenbao glared at Tang Xiaobao: "Why are you calling me uncle again?"

"Oh, Dad."

Tang Xiaobao touched his nose.

Why!

Luo Wenbao sighed.

"Dad, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. We are all family after all, there is no need to be evasive. If you have any difficulties, I will definitely help you. There is nothing to say."

Tang Xiaobao said quickly.

Luo Wenbao said, "You said it yourself. If I tell you later, you can't just stand by and watch."

"Dad, you won't dig a hole for me, will you?"

Tang Xiaobao was ashamed.

"Didn't you say we're family? Why would I dig a hole for you? I'm really in trouble."

Luo Wenbao said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What's the problem?"

"The election is coming up before the New Year, and Mayor Wu may be transferred to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee spoke with me today, and it seems he's considering recommending me for mayor."

"That's a good thing. You've been serving as deputy mayor for so long, you should have been promoted a long time ago. Oh, you don't want me to give you a push, do you? I don't have the resources for that. But don't worry, Dad's business is my business, I'll find a way."

Tang Xiaobao swore solemnly.

Luo Wenbao said angrily, "What are you talking about? Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who relies on a junior like you to get connections? If I want to move up, I will do so openly. Besides, in terms of seniority, I have enough, and in terms of ability, I am not bad either."

Suddenly, Tang Xiaobao was a little confused.

"Dad, what do you mean? Just tell me."

Luo Wenbao said: "Secretary Liu's implicit meaning is that he hopes the situation in Jiangnan City can remain stable."

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

"You, your appearance has indeed changed a lot compared to before, but do you think that just because I know you've come to Jiangnan City, the people above you don't know?"

"Why are you involving me?"

Tang Xiaobao has never been interested in political affairs and is a bit slow to respond.

Luo Wenbao said patiently, "The Zheng family's current status is not unrelated to you. If it weren't for Zheng Wenwen, Shenlong Group wouldn't have supported them. It would certainly not be easy for the Zheng family to maintain their position among the four major families. Don't underestimate the struggle between the four major families. It's more intense than you can imagine. How many families below also want to replace them? Now that Zheng Wen has had such an incident, although the news has not been fully spread, everyone who should know knows it. Secretary Liu meant that it would be best to maintain the current family structure and not make a big fuss, so he came to me. Knowing the relationship between us, you would only consider what I say."

No matter how stupid Tang Xiaobao was, he now understood a little.

Frowning, Tang Xiaobao asked, "Secretary Liu wants me to show some mercy to the Zheng family, or to support those who should be supported and not let the Zheng family down? I guess there are quite a few people in the Zheng family who are in politics, right?"

"That's right. There must be many people in the Zheng family who are involved in politics, and even have people in the province. But they are no match for you. Some time ago, the Shenlong Group wiped out the three major financial groups in one fell swoop, which scared a lot of people. Who would dare to go against the Shenlong Group now, especially a family like the Zheng family that mainly engages in business activities? In fact, someone from the Zheng family also called me, hoping that I could persuade you."

Luo Wenbao simply said it straight out.

Tang Xiaobao sighed and said, "But the Zheng family really went too far this time. You can see that Zheng Wen hates the Zheng family so much now. If it weren't for the twenty years of raising her, she would have run away from home long ago. But at this critical juncture, they actually dared to threaten Lu Jinlong's family. Isn't this a stupid thing? In fact, even if Zheng Wen recognized Lu Jinlong and his wife, this relationship would not be broken. How could she just throw away the twenty years of raising her? Zheng Wen is not that kind of person."

"You also mentioned that you've raised her for twenty years. Actually, in my opinion, there are three reasons why the Zheng family did this. First, they really can't bear to part with their daughter, Zheng Wen. Second, there might be something fishy going on when Zheng Wen was lost. Third, perhaps it's just that those in the know are too obsessed with Zheng Wen's importance to the family, and they tend to overthink some things and have wild imaginations."

Luo Wenbao continued, "It's pointless to talk about what happened twenty years ago. At least, they've been very good to Zheng Wen over the past twenty years. As for their desire to use Zheng Wen to establish a relationship with you and consolidate it, that's understandable. Every large family values ​​their family's interests more than their lives. It's not just the Zheng family, it's also the Luo family and the Chen family."

Tang Xiaobao was silent.

"What exactly are you thinking? Can you tell me the bottom line?"

After a while, Luo Wenbao couldn't help it and asked.

Tang Xiaobao hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Honestly, after what happened, I still have quite a bit of resentment towards the Zheng family. Supporting her in the future is definitely unlikely, but since you've already asked, and your political future is at stake, I can only swallow my anger. Besides, you're right. The Zheng family has raised Zheng Wen for the past twenty years. Even if they haven't done her any good, they've certainly worked hard. Originally, they never thought of taking advantage of her. I can forgive them, and even continue to support them in the future, but there's a prerequisite."

"Tell me, what are your requests?"

Luo Wenbao asked quickly.

"First, nothing can happen to Lu Jinlong and his wife. Otherwise, this feud will be huge. Someone has died, and they must pay the price. I will definitely kill them. Secondly, I need them to be reasonable. They always do these sneaky things and deliberately cause car accidents. Someone has to stand up and bear the consequences."

Tang Xiaobao said seriously: "Dad, this is my bottom line."

Luo Wenbao thought about it for a while, feeling a little embarrassed. Finally, he made up his mind and said, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll make a few calls first, and you guys stay here."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Tang Xiaobao sighed and returned to the director's office.

Zheng Wen and Luo Ya both looked over curiously.

"Where's Dad?"

Luoya asked.

Tang Xiaobao said: "Oh, he has something to do, so he went to do it first."

As he was speaking, his cell phone rang.

It was Zhao Haiyang who called.

Tang Xiaobao quickly answered the call.

Although he had agreed to Luo Wenbao's request, the prerequisite was that Lu Jinlong's family was safe.

Once something happens to the Lu family, Zheng Wen will definitely be very sad and upset, and it will be impossible for her to forgive the Zheng family for what they have done.

And now, Lu Yunfeng has been kidnapped. If the people over there do something stupid and really hurt or kill Lu Yunfeng, then everything will be irreversible.

So, holding the phone, Tang Xiaobao felt a little nervous.
