Chapter 2254: Overturning the Chessboard

"Governor, although I am a woman, I still have the most basic sense of right and wrong. If he was really taken away for committing a crime, I, Zhou Qian, would never say a word."

"But you know better than anyone why Qin Feng was taken away. I can't accept him becoming a victim of politics." The more Zhou Qian spoke, the more determined her eyes became, and the more impolite she became.

"Governor, maybe what I said today was a little disrespectful, but I have been forced into a desperate situation."

"I hope you can find a way to save Qin Feng and get justice for him. If even the governor can't save him, then I can only save him in my own way." Zhou Qian said gritting her teeth.

Hu Guangxiang frowned: "What do you want to do?"

"I am just a businessman. I don't have any political power. All I have is money and some propaganda power. I will speak out publicly to expose the conspiracy and frame-up of Qin Feng and appeal for Qin Feng's injustice under my real name. Since the province cannot save Qin Feng, I will directly and publicly request the central government to redress Qin Feng's injustice." Zhou Qian said word by word.

"Nonsense!" Hu Guangxiang's face changed drastically after hearing this and he stood up from the sofa.

Hu Jiayun, who was standing nearby, was also startled. Her face suddenly changed and she quickly grabbed Zhou Qian.

Hu Jiayun did not expect Zhou Qian to be so bold. If Zhou Qian did as she said, the entire Jiangnan Province would be in trouble. At that time, it would definitely cause shocking political news that would shock the whole country.

"Are you threatening me?"

Hu Guangxiang stared at Zhou Qian coldly.

Zhou Qian was indeed threatening Hu Guangxiang. In Zhou Qian's opinion, Hu Guangxiang just didn't want to take the risk to save Qin Feng.

Zhou Qian remained silent. She did not deny it, and there was no need to deny it. She came today to test Hu Guangxiang's attitude. If Hu Guangxiang did not want to save Qin Feng, she would threaten Hu Guangxiang. This was a countermeasure she had thought of a long time ago.

"Do you know the consequences of doing this?" Hu Guangxiang asked Zhou Qian coldly.

"I know. At the very least, his reputation will be ruined. At worst, the group will go bankrupt and he will be subject to legal sanctions." Zhou Qian nodded. She was no amateur, so she certainly knew the consequences of a businessman crossing the line politically.

"Since you understand the consequences of doing this, why do you still do this? Just to threaten me?" Hu Guangxiang was puzzled.

"Qin Feng is my man and my daughter's father. To my daughter and me, he is the sky. If the sky falls, why should I care about the consequences?" Zhou Qian sneered.

When Hu Guangxiang heard this, the anger on his face disappeared and he became very kind instead.

"Qin Feng is so lucky. He actually met a woman like you who is talented, beautiful and devoted to him. This is a blessing that can only be earned after several lifetimes." Hu Guangxiang sighed with a smile, and then said, "Child, sit down!"

Zhou Qian was somewhat caught off guard by Hu Guangxiang's sudden change in attitude. She had actually been prepared to bear Hu Guangxiang's wrath, but she didn't expect Hu Guangxiang to become so "gentle" all of a sudden.

"You sit down, I'll just stand." Zhou Qian said respectfully.

Hu Guangxiang did not hesitate to sit down on the sofa again, took a sip of water, and then said to Zhou Qian: "Child, you are not an ordinary person. There are some things that you can understand in your heart, but you can't say them out loud. You should understand this principle."

"Just like the Qin Feng incident, you and I and many people know what really happened. But as long as others are playing a conspiracy under the rules, we have to accept it. It's like playing chess. As long as he plays according to the rules, no matter how disgusting it is, we have to admit it. We can't do as you said, just because the other party's moves are sneaky, we overturn the chessboard. This is wrong and the consequences are very serious." Hu Guangxiang said earnestly.

"Let's get back to this matter. First of all, I apologize to you for what happened to Qin Feng. I agreed to Qin Feng going to Xiquan and promoted this matter in disguise. Many of the things Qin Feng did in Xiquan, such as what he did this time, were also instructed by me."

"Although there are some things I cannot say, I can tell you clearly that I am responsible for Qin Feng's being taken away this time. I failed to protect him well. It is even possible that the other party was coming for me." Hu Guangxiang became very serious and calm.

"From a personal perspective, whether it's because he saved Xiaoyun's life or because he and Xiaoyun are not siblings, I have always treated him as my own child. Qin Feng's personality and character are very much to my liking. I like this child from the bottom of my heart."

"From a work perspective, Qin Feng is a young cadre whom I trust very much. In a sense, I have watched him grow step by step and promoted him step by step. Everything he has done in Xiquan has always been to implement the organization's intentions and to complete the tasks I have assigned him."

"So, whether it's for public or private reasons, I will do my best to protect him. I hope you don't have any doubts about this. From a certain perspective, my desire to save him may be more urgent than yours, because you only want to save him out of personal emotion, but for me it's not just personal emotion. Whether Qin Feng can be cleared of all charges is related to my personal prestige, the stability of Xiquan Municipal Bureau, and the overall poverty alleviation situation of the entire Jiangnan Province."

"Politics is a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder. Its danger and cruelty are no less than those of a real battlefield, so some things must be handled with extreme caution."

"You can see that Qin Feng is in a very passive situation this time. To be honest, I am not sure that I can keep him safe, but I will do my best."

"Why didn't I tell you before, and didn't tell Xiaoyun? That's because there are some things that can be done, but can't be said, and certainly not for you to hear."

"Child, if you still trust me, then go back and stay here and wait for news. If I can keep him safe, that would be the best. If I can't, don't worry, I will do my best to minimize the damage he suffers."

"And even if we fail to save him this time, it's only temporary. Don't be anxious. As long as I'm still in this position, everything will still have a chance. Unless... I go down too."

"Child, do you believe me?" Hu Guangxiang looked at Zhou Qian with kindness in his eyes.

Zhou Qian just looked at Hu Guangxiang and finally asked, "How confident are you that you can rescue him?"

"It's hard to say. I can only say that I will do my best." Hu Guangxiang shook his head and did not give a specific answer.

Zhou Qian was silent again, and then said: "Okay, I believe you."

"Thank you for your trust." Hu Guangxiang nodded.

"If Qin Feng were here, he would definitely choose to trust you, so I trust you too." Zhou Qian said.

Hu Guangxiang laughed loudly, and then said: "Qin Feng must have accumulated blessings for several lifetimes to have met you."

"Go back and wait for news. Don't do anything rash. As long as I'm still sitting at the table, it's not time to turn over the chessboard." Hu Guangxiang finally said to Zhou Qian earnestly.
