Upon hearing this, Duan Feng slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"What? Where did you receive this report from?!"
Duan Feng, a former frontline criminal police officer, is a true man who has seen blood.
Having spent so many years working at the grassroots level and on the front lines, I've developed a fierce and ruthless streak in my bones.
Several discipline inspection officials were stunned by the murderous aura emanating from Duan Feng and were speechless for a moment.
The head of the department clearly noticed that Duan Feng was very agitated, but they were also fulfilling their duties.
"Director Duan, I am Zheng Duo from the Sixth Supervision and Inspection Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Please calm down. We are just carrying out normal work."
A flash of anger appeared in Duan Feng's eyes, his emotions were clearly more agitated than before, and he spoke angrily to Zheng Duo.
"Director Zheng, right? I can tell you with certainty that this is a frame-up!"
"No matter how you plan to handle this case, you must be mindful of the political implications, understand?"
Faced with Duan Feng's furious expression and seemingly murderous intent, Zheng Duo's tone softened somewhat.
"Director Duan, you know the rules. If someone makes a formal complaint, we will have to ask you to come back and investigate."
"If you really have no problems, we will clear your name."
As the two were talking, Wen Xiu went through the current situation in her mind.
First, Duan Feng is most likely innocent. Based on our interactions over this period, Duan Feng is a very honest and upright person.
Logically, with Wen Min's introduction, Duan Feng should be able to trust Wen Xiu.
However, when Wenxiu tried to give him something, he refused everything. Even when Wenxiu simply wanted to invite him for drinks to build a relationship, he refused, saying that building a relationship didn't necessarily require drinking alcohol; tea was fine.
It can be said that Duan Feng is not a money-loving person, and is very cautious, so it is highly unlikely that he would engage in any money-for-power transactions.
Second, why this particular time?
Of course, this timing doesn't mean that it happened precisely when Wen Xiu and Duan Feng were having tea together, but rather that Wen Xiu had recently learned that Duan Feng was about to be promoted to Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and was at a critical juncture in his upcoming evaluation.
If the disciplinary committee comes knocking on your door during the evaluation process, the entire promotion process will be suspended, and you will most likely be disqualified.
Even if the investigation results show that the person is innocent, the investigation process usually takes one to two months.
This period of time could have allowed Duan Feng to miss the probationary period and thus miss this opportunity for promotion.
This would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Duan Feng.
Third, is someone behind this?
If someone is indeed behind this, then it must be a gentle enemy, and a formidable one at that.
The ability to employ such a decisive and fatal tactic suggests that it is not driven by external capital, but rather by a domestic enemy.
So who could it be?
Is it another member of one of the ten great families? Or is it someone within the Wen family targeting Wen Wan?
Whoever it is, once they've made their move, there's bound to be a next step.
If Wenxiu is brought under control, Wenwan's vanguard team in the central market will be leaderless, and the attack on Hongye and her group will come with lightning speed.
Thinking this, Wenxiu secretly took out her phone from under the table and quickly sent a message to Hongye.
"What are you doing! You're not allowed to use communication devices!"
A discipline inspection official snatched Wenxiu's phone away, but Wenxiu was not angry; she simply raised her hands.
"Oh, sorry, I was just letting my girlfriend know I'm safe, you don't have to take it so seriously."
The cadre took out his phone and saw that Wen Xiu's message was just a short sentence.
Honey, I won't be coming home tonight. Make sure you lock the doors and windows properly.
It was indeed a very ordinary message to let everyone know they were safe, so no one suspected anything and they put their phones away.
At this point, Duan Feng seemed to have reached an agreement with Zheng Duo and immediately agreed to go back with him to cooperate with the investigation. Zheng Duo promised to give him a result as soon as possible.
Wen Xiu had no choice but to go back with them to cooperate with the investigation. As they walked out of the teahouse, a BMW was parked across the street.
Tang Xiwei sat in the back seat, her gaze fixed on Wen Xiu as she walked out through the glass, her eyes filled with resentment.
"Wenxiu, this is just the beginning."
"I will repay the humiliation you have caused me a thousandfold!"
...
One hour later, in Jiangling City.
Jingxiang Building, 26th floor.
Hongye sat in the main seat of the conference room, looking at her phone with her brows furrowed into a deep frown. Around her sat the main core members of this vanguard team.
Seeing Hongye remain silent for a long time, Moye slowly moved closer, glanced at the message on her phone, and immediately covered her mouth.
"What? Sister Hongye, when did you get involved with Fifth Young Master?"
"He actually called you 'wife'! Oh my god! Are you two getting married?"
"What? Assistant Hongye! You summoned us here just to announce this incredibly good news?"
"Hey you! Hurry up and book a nice restaurant! We're going to celebrate!"
Everyone present was under forty years old and had a burning passion for gossip.
"Bang!"
Hongye slammed her hand on the table, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"Quiet! This is not the time for gossip!"
"I have absolutely no relation to the Fifth Young Master!"
"After the Fifth Young Master sent this message, we could no longer contact him. This message was clearly a warning that someone was trying to harm us, and we should be careful!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
No one present was a fool. If the other party dared to attack even the fifth young master of the Wen family and was able to control him so decisively and efficiently, and even had to use such a hidden method to issue warnings, just what kind of terrifying background did the other party have?
"Now! Immediately! Right now!"
"Everyone back at your posts, monitor your respective projects, and report any issues immediately!"
"yes!"
Everyone immediately returned to their posts, while Mo Ye hesitated for a moment beside Hong Ye before speaking.
"Sister Hongye, should we report this situation to President Wen?"
"No, tomorrow is the Wen family's banquet. We should at least let President Wen finish the banquet before we talk. If we can't even last a day, then what's the point of President Wen supporting us?"
"Okay, Sister Hongye, I'll call my sister right away and ask her to send more people to help."
Mo Ye opened the conference room door to make a phone call when she bumped into someone—it was Xiao Sun, who was in charge of the real estate development project at the time.
"Assistant Hongye, something terrible has happened! There's been an explosion at our construction site, and many workers are injured!"
