Chapter 2316 Very Dangerous

After Minister Hong finished speaking, Qin Feng looked up and hesitated.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to hesitate. I said, you're not talking on behalf of the organization today." Minister Hong saw Qin Feng's hesitation.

"Minister Hong, I have two questions, but these two questions may be quite offensive."

"Tell me, what are you afraid of with Minister Zhao here?" Minister Hong joked.

"My first question is, although it is not uncommon for officials to serve in other provinces, it is not very common for people at my level to be transferred across provinces. Moreover, the cross-provincial appointment of a mayor should not alarm Minister Hong, who should come forward in person."

"Minister Hong, excuse me, but is there anything special about this sandbar?" Qin Feng said, looking at Minister Hong.

After listening to Qin Feng's question, Minister Hong turned to look at Zhao Hongjian: "Is this what you mean by him being impulsive and reckless?"

Zhao Hongjian smiled and said: "He is very smart and politically acumen is very strong, but he still lacks political experience and is immature."

"I think it is a sign of political maturity that he raised these questions to me in person today." Minister Hong shook his head.

"Qin Feng, I would have explained this question to you clearly today even if you didn't ask me." Minister Hong turned around and said to Qin Feng seriously.

"You are very smart. You guessed right away that this sandbar is unusual. Yes, this sandbar is indeed unusual, but I am not sure what the specific problems are with this sandbar, and there are some things I cannot tell you until you are sure you want to go to the sandbar."

"What I can tell you is that the sandbar problem is very special, very complex, very serious and very dangerous." Minister Hong spoke about the sandbar problem with each word more emphatic than the last.

Qin Feng was shocked. He had never heard a leader use these four words at the same time when evaluating the situation in a place. It was conceivable how serious the problem of this sandbar was.

"Let me be more straightforward and clear. The central government has organized two investigation teams, one openly and one secretly, to go to Shazhou to investigate the problems in Shazhou, but both times they returned empty-handed. They knew that there were major problems in Shazhou, but they could not find any effective evidence," Minister Hong continued.

"Are the local forces colluding with each other and resisting together?" Qin Feng asked.

"You are very smart and you can see the problem at a glance. The entire sandbar is almost a solid piece of iron, and this iron plate is not limited to the sandbar." Minister Hong said meaningfully.

Qin Feng nodded. Otherwise, there would be no need for the central government to set up an investigation team and go there twice, openly and secretly. The key point is that both times they returned empty-handed. This would have been impossible if it hadn't been for the provincial government's protection.

“To this end, two years ago the ministry personally appointed a mayor for Shazhou in order to gain a deeper understanding of the situation in Shazhou and then provide assistance to the central government in completely resolving the problems in Shazhou.”

"Two months ago, the mayor had a car accident on the sandbar and died on the spot." Minister Hong almost gritted his teeth when he said this.

"What?" Qin Feng's eyes widened.

Anyone with a little bit of political awareness can understand how unlikely it is for a mayor to get into a traffic accident, let alone a direct fatal one.

"Our department specially sent people to Shazhou to investigate the car accident. As a result, the local police produced sufficient evidence and the driver was arrested." Minister Hong sneered.

Qin Feng understood everything after hearing this. At this point, he finally realized why Minister Hong had used the four words "special", "complex", "serious" and "dangerous" to describe the sandbar.

"Tell me about your second question," Minister Hong asked.

"Why choose me?" Qin Feng asked.

"There are many reasons for choosing you. If you really ask me, I can give you many reasons, such as your work ability, experience, etc., but the fundamental reason why I chose you is your fearless and selfless spirit."

"I have studied your resume repeatedly and asked Minister Zhao about it carefully. Then I asked someone to prepare a special investigation report on you."

Minister Hong walked to his desk and took out a document and showed it to Qin Feng, then walked to the sofa and sat down: "Everything you have done over the years is clearly recorded in detail on it."

"You were nearly beaten to death by hooligans when you were repairing roads in Niujiaoshan Village, and you were nearly killed when you were cleaning up local coal mine gangs and their protectors in Guanshan Town. Then you were nearly hit and killed by a truck when you were rectifying a fake subsidy fraud case in the Shannan County Economic Development Zone."

"Then there was the most horrific case in Dongyang City, where he was shot and miraculously survived."

"I won't say much about your life in Xiquan, including the time you were framed and locked up for half a year."

Minister Hong told Qin Feng all the big and small things that happened in his work, and he even remembered place names like Niujiaoshan Village, which surprised Qin Feng very much. It was enough to show that Minister Hong had studied Qin Feng for a long time.

"Qin Feng, you are politically strong, fearless and daring, and you have rich experience in struggle. After comprehensive research, we believe that you are the most suitable comrade to go to Shazhou, and we also believe that you will be able to complete the task assigned to you by the organization."

"Of course, I still say what I said before, Qin Feng, going to the sandbar this time is very difficult and the risk factor is very high. If you don't want to go, I will never force you or blame you. The organization fully respects your personal opinion." Minister Hong finally said.

"Minister Hong, I..."

Qin Feng just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Minister Hong again: "I said before, don't rush to give me an answer now. Go back and think about it carefully. After you have thought it through, tell Minister Zhao your choice."

"But I want to make it clear first, whether you choose to go or not, once you choose, there will be no room for regret."

Qin Feng understood what Minister Hong meant and nodded, "Okay, I will!"

"Wait for me downstairs first." Zhao Hongjian said to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng nodded, said goodbye to Minister Hong, then walked out of the office and went downstairs.

Qin Feng was standing by the flower bed downstairs, smoking a cigarette and thinking about Minister Hong asking him to go to Shazhou.

Qin Feng smoked two cigarettes before he saw Zhao Hongjian coming downstairs. At the same time, the car sent by the Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing also stopped downstairs.

"Brother..." Qin Feng threw down his cigarette butt and walked over.

"Get in the car." Zhao Hongjian got in the car, Qin Feng walked around and got in the car on the other side.

"What exactly are you thinking?" Zhao Hongjian asked Qin Feng first.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Qin Feng shook his head. His mind was indeed very confused.

"Are you scared?" Zhao Hongjian turned his head and asked.
