Chapter 872 Party Struggle

Long Cong'an said with certainty: "He is indeed Chief Li's cousin, a distant relative."

Annan raised his eyebrows: "Distant cousin?"

I've been on the boat for so long, how come a cousin suddenly appears?

Long Cong'an told him everything he had learned:

"His name is Li Guang. He is a relative of Chief Li's mother's family. He grew up in Linbei City when he was young. After graduating from university, he stayed in the south and settled in Wuyue City. He is a well-known wealthy businessman in the area."

Wuyue City?

Annan remembered that the sea water invaded the south that year and destroyed several provinces. It seemed that it stopped after spreading to Wuyue City.

The couple were lucky enough to have escaped the devastating disaster.

Long Cong'an also said: "Their family was lucky and escaped the first tsunami. However, since Wuyue City changed from an inland city to a coastal city, they felt that it was not safe there, so they quickly moved their family all the way north..."

The couple had considerable wealth and hired capable bodyguards, so despite the long and dangerous journey, they managed to survive.

Just when they were about to settle down, the "Ark Project" began. The two had no choice but to follow the survivors to Maple City to board the ship. Afterwards, they dismissed the servants and bodyguards at home and rented a partition house.

Long Cong'an learned their origins clearly. Annan thought for a moment and asked again:

"They have been living on the Ark for so long, how did they get in touch with Li Mingcheng?"

Long Cong'an shook his head and said, "This Li Guang, he doesn't even know that his relative is the deputy chief on the Ark. Although the two of them are related, they only met a few times when they were young and have not been in touch for a long time.

The reason the couple was able to move to the suite area this time was because of Li Guang’s wife. After they moved in and met the leaders, they happened to meet and recognize Chief Li.”

Annan nodded. That's right.

The woman did say that she was an expert in marine drug research and development. Such talent is indeed qualified to live in the suite area.

Then he couldn't help but frowned.

The husband is a relative of a powerful leader, and the wife is an important scientific research talent. Li Yue must have known the real situation of the two of them. What was their intention to set her up against them?

Long Cong'an, who was standing by, saw that she and Gu Zhiyu were both frowning and silent, and thought that what he had said was not comprehensive enough, so he continued to report dutifully:

"The woman's name is Shen Qing. I heard she's an expert in making medicine. One of her students, who works in the Ark's pharmaceutical department, recognized her while shopping in the supermarket and immediately recommended her to his superiors. Within three days, Shen Qing was promoted to a new position."

As he said this, he sighed: "Sure enough, gold will shine wherever it is..."

Annan was not really concerned about these things, and only continued to ask: "Does Li Guang and his wife have any conflicts with Chief Qi's family?"

Long Cong'an quickly shook his head and said, "I have inquired about it. Their family is well received by the leaders. They have always lived in ordinary residential areas and have never been to the Northwest. It is impossible for them to have conflicts with Chief Qi and his men."

Annan pondered for a moment. Since Li Yue was not going after Li Guang and his wife, then she must be going after Li Mingcheng?

Gu Zhiyu, who was standing by, also thought of this: "I heard Ping An mention it some time ago that Li Mingcheng and Chief Qi seemed to have some disagreements on some matters?"

Long Cong'an thought for a moment and replied, "It's not a big contradiction. It's just about the future development direction of the Ark. Chief Li and Chief Qi both submitted a proposal to Chief Song Guoqiang. It is said that the contents of the proposals are very different..."

Annan's frown relaxed a little. Yes, this is the key!

Isn't it just a proposal with conflicting opinions? Now it seems that Li Yue and others have already regarded this as a party dispute.

Although everyone got along well before, there are no permanent enemies or friends in the workplace, let alone in this complex officialdom. After a long time, disputes are inevitable.

If there is a dispute, it is bound to involve taking sides.

Although she and A-Yu had no intention of taking sides, in terms of relationship, she was indeed closer to Li Mingcheng. After all, they came from the north together, and she also had her mother's friendship with him.

With this in mind, Li Yue's behavior is not surprising - she just wants to use Li Guang to alienate her relationship with Li Mingcheng.

If she and Li Guang became enemies because of Xiao Fuxing and started a war with each other, Li Mingcheng would be caught in the middle and would be caught between the two. It would be natural for a gap to appear between the two sides.

After figuring out the secret, Annan was speechless: "Li Yue really thinks highly of us!"

She and A-Yu are not great military leaders. Although they have Ma Qiangzhuang's brothers at their disposal, they only have a few hundred men, and they are not completely their own people. Does it matter which side they stand on?

Gu Zhiyu pursed his lips and said, "She doesn't care about us, she cares about Song Guoqiang."

Annan suddenly understood. That's right! In Li Yue's opinion, their relationship with Song Guoqiang is also very good.

She was afraid that the two of them would become the "glue" between Song Guoqiang and Li Mingcheng, causing Song Guoqiang, the top leader, to side with Li Mingcheng.

She and Gu Zhiyu could not influence the overall situation of the government, but Song Guoqiang was different...

Long Cong'an, who was standing by, was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

He didn't know what happened today, he only knew that Mr. Gu and his benefactor suddenly asked him to find out about Li Guang and his wife.

Annan didn't explain much, just reminded him to be careful with Chief Qi and Li Yue recently, and then let him go home.

Annan and his partner were the only ones left in the room.

She leaned on the sofa and pouted at Gu Zhiyu beside her, saying, "Li Yue and Chief Qi are really worrying too much. How could Song Guoqiang side with Li Mingcheng just because of our relationship?"

They really underestimated Song Guoqiang!

This man was extremely meticulous in his work. Not to mention her and A-Yu, even Niu Gandang might not be able to influence his thinking.

Gu Zhiyu said, "As long as they are human, they are likely to act on their emotions. From Li Yue's perspective, she doesn't want to gamble."
