The residential area for provincial party committee cadres.
Lu Yuanfeng took a shower at Fang Wenbo's house, changed into new clothes, and walked downstairs calmly.
Seeing Fang Wenbo sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, Lu Yuanfeng smiled and said to him, "Uncle Fang, thank you for your timely action, otherwise, I would have suffered a great loss this time."
Fang Wenbo raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yuanfeng, snorted in his heart, and thought, if your father hadn't called me, I wouldn't bother with your mess.
He put down the newspaper in his hand, sighed, and said with a pursed mouth, "Xiao Feng, you have made enough money, why are you still doing these illegal things? It's so unwise!"
Lu Yuanfeng smiled indifferently and said, "Uncle Fang, have you heard that saying? If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman! Although I, Lu Yuanfeng, am not a gentleman, I cannot tolerate anyone challenging my authority. Ren Jianghai can't do that, and Li Lin is even less qualified! If I tolerate it once, I'm afraid that my Lu family will no longer have a place in Hanjiang in the future."
Hearing Lu Yuanfeng's arrogant remarks, Fang Wenbo just found it funny.
He thought to himself, it's true that your father is the former governor, and it's okay if you were a little arrogant when he was in office. After all, you are the ones in power, and no one dares to disrespect you.
But your father has retired for so long. Although he still holds a sinecure position at the ministerial level in Yanjing, after all, people forget about you when you are gone. Those who once revered you may not really take you seriously now.
It is foolish of you to still be so naive as to think that your Lu family has absolute power over Hanjiang.
If it weren't for my Fang Wenbo who remembered our old friendship, to be honest, even though your father has so many old subordinates, looking across the entire Hanjiang Province, not everyone might dare to come forward to protect you!
Fang Wenbo smiled and said casually, "Xiaofeng, when this matter is settled, you'd better go abroad for a while, or don't come back. There's nothing good in China. It's full of struggles. If you're not careful, you'll fall into the abyss. Buy a piece of land abroad, build a villa, and wait for your father to retire completely, then move in with your family. Wouldn't that be good?"
Facing Fang Wenbo's well-intentioned persuasion, Lu Yuanfeng sneered and said, "Uncle Fang, why do I always feel that you have become a different person since my father left Hanjiang? You have become more and more timid. You don't have the courage you had when you followed my father to build roads through mountains and bridges across rivers. Tell me the truth, is there someone in the province who is bullying you? Are you scared?"
"Picking me? Haha..." Fang Wenbo laughed so hard that tears almost came out. He looked at Lu Yuanfeng and said, "You must not understand my position in the provincial party committee. Apart from Secretary Wang, I really don't take anyone seriously. Of course, this is also thanks to the solid foundation your father laid for me, plus my hard work, which allowed me to thrive in the province."
Hearing Fang Wenbo mention his father, Lu Yuanfeng felt proud. He thought, it's still my father. Although he is not in Hanjiang, he still has a huge influence on Hanjiang's political circles.
"Uncle Fang, when do you plan to send me away from Han River?" Lu Yuanfeng suddenly asked.
Fang Wenbo frowned slightly, smiled, and said, "There are police officers outside searching for you now. It's very safe here, no one will dare to come. Just wait patiently for a few more days, and I will send you out of the city when the storm has passed."
"How many days do we have to wait..." Lu Yuanfeng's eyes showed dissatisfaction, thinking that you are the Minister of Propaganda of the Provincial Party Committee, can't you even escort someone out of the city? Do you have to wait until the police withdraw?
He looked around Fang Wenbo's "simple" home with contempt in his eyes. After only staying here for one night, he became a little impatient.
Fang Wenbo could sense Lu Yuanfeng's eagerness to leave here, and he felt helpless. If he let Lu Yuanfeng go now, he might be implicated if he was caught by the police, and he would have a hard time explaining himself.
In order to dispel Lu Yuanfeng's idea of leaving in a hurry, Fang Wenbo smiled and changed the subject, "Xiaofeng, I'm afraid you still don't know why Ren Jianghai suddenly escaped from your control and went against you, right?"
When this unhappy topic was mentioned, the smile on Lu Yuanfeng's face faded a lot, and he sneered, "Why else? Because I killed his wife and he wanted revenge."
Fang Wenbo smiled and shook his head, then continued, "Do you think Ren Jianghai can defeat you alone?"
"Hmph, I wouldn't even care about ten Ren Jianghais." Lu Yuanfeng laughed contemptuously.
Fang Wenbo nodded and said, "Yes, then have you ever thought about whose power he relied on to dare to challenge you?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuanfeng frowned and asked in surprise and confusion, "Uncle Fang, did you hear something? Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me who is behind Ren Jianghai?"
Fang Wenbo still smiled calmly and did not directly answer Lu Yuanfeng's question. Instead, he said, "Someone did tell me the whole story in detail, but I am just guessing."
Lu Yuanfeng frowned and listened carefully. He was also very curious as to why Ren Jianghai, who had been so timid in front of him, suddenly had the courage to stab him in the back. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed very suspicious.
Fang Wenbo continued, "When Ren Jianghai first went into hiding, it wasn't the police who first found him. And when Wu Dagui was finally arrested, it wasn't the clues the police found."
"Who is that?" Lu Yuanfeng frowned, his expression solemn. Fang Wenbo's words completely overturned all his cognition and he was very surprised.
Fang Wenbo smiled meaningfully and said, "Li Lin!"
"How could it be him?" Lu Yuanfeng was extremely shocked. "How did he know where Ren Jianghai was hiding? How did he know that it was Wu Dagui who did all this? He is just a gigolo kept by Li Lan. How could he be so capable? Uncle Fang, don't be kidding me!"
