Chapter 2068: Shut Him Up Completely

"Completely solve the problem?" Wang Jiahao didn't quite understand what Liu Xiaoping meant. He also didn't know why Liu Xiaoping was dissatisfied with his approach. He thought this was the most perfect solution.

"What? Do you want to experience this again?" Liu Xiaoping leaned back in his chair.

"Qin Feng arrested Li Yang this time, but what about next time? Can you guarantee that he won't arrest Li Yang again next time?"

"This time they are using Li Yang to exchange with us, but what about next time? Next time when we have no bargaining chips in our hands, they will want your life and mine." Liu Xiaoping continued.

Wang Jiahao fell into deep thought.

"What do you think of Xie Zhiguo?" Liu Xiaoping suddenly changed the topic.

"It's just so-so. To be honest, you're not as good as Xia Junhua. I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking. They didn't let you take over as the municipal party secretary, but transferred such an incompetent person from another place to Xiquan to be the municipal party secretary." Wang Jiahao was a little disdainful.

"No ability? Not as good as Xia Junhua?" Liu Xiaoping laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Ten Xia Junhuas may not be able to catch up with one Xie Zhiguo."

"Not really?" Wang Jiahao was a little unconvinced.

"Wang Jiahao, if you think this about Xie Zhiguo, you are not far from death, and this is exactly what Xie Zhiguo is most brilliant about."

"To put it bluntly, a barking dog never bites. To put it nicely, a true master will kill someone silently."

"Do you think Xie Zhiguo has been doing nothing since he came to Xiquan?" Liu Xiaoping asked.

"Isn't it? Xie Zhiguo has been in Xiquan for such a long time, has he done anything? The only project he promoted was the shantytown renovation, and that almost went into big trouble. With you here, he will never be able to achieve anything. In Xiquan, no matter who becomes the municipal party secretary, the surname will always be Liu." Wang Jiahao said while flattering Liu Xiaoping.

"You are absolutely wrong to think so. You have fallen into Xie Zhiguo's trap, and this is exactly what Xie Zhiguo wants us to see." Liu Xiaoping shook his head again.

"On the surface, it seems that Xie Zhiguo has done nothing since he came to Xiquan, and he doesn't want to do anything. Whatever he wants to do, I suppress him. It seems that he is completely suppressed by me in Xiquan, but in fact, he has done a lot of things in secret."

"What? You don't believe it? You can't see it at all, right?" Liu Xiaoping looked at Wang Jiahao again, and he saw disbelief in Wang Jiahao's eyes.

"Think carefully about the situation in Xiquan before Xie Zhiguo came to Xiquan and now. Have you found any differences?" Liu Xiaoping asked again.

Wang Jiahao began to think hard.

"Do you also feel that it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to do things and we have more and more concerns? The fact that we were defeated by Qin Feng this time is the biggest proof of this. What does this mean?" Liu Xiaoping did not let Wang Jiahao continue thinking.

"This shows that our ability to control the situation in Xiquan is becoming increasingly weaker." Liu Xiaoping concluded himself.

"Before Xie Zhiguo came, we were the only one in the entire Xiquan City, and we had the final say in everything. But what about now?"

"Xie Zhiguo seems to have done nothing, but without anyone noticing, he has quietly integrated the entire municipal party committee into a solid block. Even Duan Hongyu, who I wanted to use as a bargaining chip to disperse his power in the municipal party committee, has been promised some benefits by Xie Zhiguo, and now shows signs of leaning towards Xie Zhiguo."

"It's fine that he quietly integrated the municipal party committee, but look at the municipal government. This is our own little piece of land, but he inserted a Qin Feng in here and made the entire municipal government a mess."

"Among the important tasks of the municipal government, we basically have no control over the cultural and tourism sector, and poverty alleviation has also become a great constraint. If we allow Qin Feng to continue stirring up trouble, we won't be able to eat the hot shit before it's ready." Liu Xiaoping said while smoking.

According to what Liu Xiaoping said, Qin Feng was a troublemaker, so weren't they the shit? Wang Jiahao felt uncomfortable listening to this, but he didn't dare to say anything. However, he admitted that what Liu Xiaoping said was the truth.

"Let's take a look at the situation in the following districts and counties. Needless to say, Yi'an County has become impassable since Qin Feng came. Beitian County and Jinggu County were not ours to begin with, so it's only natural for us to follow Xie Zhiguo."

"Except for those normal counties and districts, the only ones we have absolute say in are Tai'an County and Linyan District. And this time, he transferred Li Hongsheng away from Linyan District on the grounds that the shantytown reconstruction work was not progressing well. Now the only one we have a say in is Tai'an County."

Wang Jiahao was a little frightened when he heard this. As the director of the Public Security Bureau, he was not a member of the Municipal Party Committee. He seldom thought about this matter. Now that Liu Xiaoping said this, it seemed that the situation was indeed very urgent.

"You still think Xie Zhiguo is an incompetent person? You still think Xie Zhiguo did nothing?"

"Let me tell you, Xie Zhiguo is not unwilling to do anything, but he is waiting for the right time. What time? He is waiting to completely control the situation in Xiquan. When he is able to completely control the situation in Xiquan, that is when he will attack us. By then, we will not even have room to resist."

"And the reason why he has remained silent and used some very gentle and extremely secretive means to make his plans is just like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time we react, it is already too late."

"This is a true master of political tactics." Liu Xiaoping sighed.

"I'm telling you this so that you can have a sense of crisis and realize how dangerous our current situation is. If we continue to keep Li Yang as a hidden danger, it is very likely that Xie Zhiguo will use him as a means to attack us next time."

"So, Li Yang must make him shut up completely. As for the Zhongyang Chemical Factory, after dealing with all the troubles, I will shut it down completely on the grounds that it does not meet environmental standards." Liu Xiaoping took a big puff of his cigarette.

Wang Jiahao was very surprised. He had a rough estimate in his mind of how much profit the Zhongyang Chemical Factory could bring to Liu Xiaoping in a year.

"Li Yang can shut him up, but there's no need to shut down the Zhongyang Chemical Factory, right? These things have nothing to do with you. Tai'an County will take care of everything."

"Compared to one's life and property, that little bit of money is nothing. We can't be negligent at this time. Go ahead and make Li Yang shut up forever this time." Liu Xiaoping said.

Wang Jiahao was shocked again. He knew what Liu Xiaoping meant when he told Li Yang to shut up completely.
