2706 It's rare to see you so naive

The Secretary handed Xia Anlan's coat with both hands and opened the door while holding his briefcase.""Mayor, you haven't been eating well these days. Do you want to have some supper tonight?"

Xia Anlan thought about Xiao' AI's supper and wondered when he would be able to eat it.

"No need," he shook his head.

On the way home, it was late at night, and there were fewer cars on the road.

Today, the Secretary hardly spoke, and the car was a little too quiet.

In the end, it was Xia Anlan who spoke first,""Why aren't you talking today?"

"It's too late," the Secretary quickly replied."You've been busy all day and need a good rest."

Xia Anlan smiled. He would rather forget about such lies in front of him.

"You've been with me for many years. Next time, remember not to avoid my eyes before you lie."

The Secretary quickly lowered his head. The mayor's eyes were too sharp. He could even see this. He felt that he had no secrets in front of Xia Anlan.

"Don't you think that what I'm doing today is not much better than the underworld?" Xia Anlan asked him.

"I ... I didn't mean that." The Secretary shook his head.

He did have such thoughts. Although he sympathized with the Xia family's eldest daughter and thought that it was normal for the mayor to be so angry, was it really good to treat a woman in such a cruel way?

Xia rushuang was indeed guilty of unpardonable crimes, but she should be punished by the law. Why did they have to use private punishment?

The Secretary had never seen Xia Anlan so brutal before. Yes, brutal indeed.

Xia Anlan looked at the streetlights outside the window and smiled.""It doesn't matter whether you have it or not,"

"Mayor, I ... I just think that even if Xia rushuang is guilty, shouldn't ... Shouldn't it be better to hand her over to the law?" the Secretary mustered up the courage to speak. By doing this, you've somewhat ... Gone beyond the scope of your authority. You might feel better about it, but ... This won't have a good impact on you. If this gets out, your prestige will be affected. "

Xia Anlan glanced at his Secretary.""You surprised me today. I didn't expect you to say such naive words even though you're already in politics. It's rare."

The Secretary blushed and scratched his head, wondering if the mayor's decision was a good one.

Xia Anlan rolled down the car window and let the cool breeze in. He was initially a little tired, but he was suddenly much more awake."Power is the wind. If you can hold it, you will be able to control it. If you can 't, you will be blown away. In this world, there is no such thing as legal power. The so-called legal is a term forcefully added by those who control the order of society."

"Besides, I have to be the one who controls the order of this society. Do you know what my dream was when I was young?"

The Secretary was stunned. Xia Anlan had changed the topic so quickly that he could not keep up.""What is it?"

Xia Anlan told his Secretary,"before I was 15, my dream was to become a University professor, to teach and to pass down my knowledge to my family. Later on, it was precisely because of my sister's accident that my outlook on life changed. I told myself that I wanted to be the most powerful person. I wanted to go up and reach the highest place. Only then would I be able to better protect the people I care about."
