Chapter 2657 Dissatisfaction with Jiang Longjun

"But if we talk about the biggest contributor, it must be Zhou Qian." Zhao Hongjian changed the subject.

"It was Zhou Qian who found the waitress, and it was also Zhou Qian who stirred up this overwhelming reversal of public opinion online. If it weren't for this overwhelming pressure from public opinion, you wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly, and your punishment wouldn't have been so light," Zhao Hongjian continued.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I know."

"So, you married a good wife. If you dare to do anything to let Zhou Qian down, you will be truly heartless. I will be the first one to spank you." Zhao Hongjian warned Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smiled and nodded, which was considered a promise.

"The judiciary has set up a special task force to investigate your case, but your suspicion has been completely cleared, so you're fine now. Don't worry about them anymore, just do what you need to do."

"Qin Feng, I called you here today for another reason. The task force has already gone to Shazhou to investigate the case that framed you. From what I understand, this isn't just a false accusation against you; it also involves several murders."

"I don't know much about the situation in Shazhou. I just want to ask you, how far should this case be investigated?" Zhao Hongjian looked at Qin Feng and asked.

Qin Feng certainly understood why Zhao Hongjian asked this. This case was not just a simple case. If the case was further investigated, it was very likely that the Lixin Group would be found, which would then involve a political earthquake in the entire Shazhou and even the province.

Zhao Hongjian asked Qin Feng how he was going to investigate next and with what intensity. In other words, he was asking how big a commotion Qin Feng intended to cause on the sandbar, whether he could control the situation, and whether he could bear the final consequences.

As Zhao Hongjian spoke, he walked to the cabinet, took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng didn't hesitate to take the cigarette, opened it and lit one.

"There is no need to consider this issue anymore. The task force won't find anything on the sandbar." Qin Feng sighed.

"Why do you say that?"

"Last night, when Zhou Qian came to see me, I used her phone to call the Executive Deputy Director of the Shazhou City Public Security Bureau and asked him to mobilize personnel to immediately find the suspects who coerced Liu Xiaonan into making false accusations and then committing suicide. Whether it's arresting or protecting them, they must be found."

"This morning, they reported to me that all the suspects were dead before they arrived, not a single one was left." Qin Feng said with a wry smile while smoking a cigarette.

Zhao Hongjian was slightly surprised, then sighed: "It seems that the situation on the sandbar is more serious and complicated than we imagined."

"I don't feel surprised at all about Comrade Qi Yaqiu's death. I won't be surprised if I die on the sandbar one day. This time they just want to put me in jail, which is already very merciful." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"The fact that you were able to mobilize people to arrest someone with just one phone call shows that you have gained some power during your time on the sandbar, right?" Zhao Hongjian was not an ordinary person after all. He immediately understood something from Qin Feng's words.

"Yes, compared to when I first arrived in Shazhou City and was all alone, my situation in Shazhou is indeed much better now. Although I can't say that I have established a firm foothold in Shazhou, at least I have some influence."

"It is because I have some influence that they are so anxious to drive me away from the sandbar." Qin Feng nodded.

"Qin Feng, I don't know much about the situation of the sandbar. Can you tell me about the specific situation of the sandbar?" Zhao Hongjian took out a workbook and a pen, as if Qin Feng was the leader and he was the subordinate.

"Shazhou's Qin Feng is both simple and complex. To put it simply, Shazhou is comprised of two factions: one is the community of interests represented by the Lixin Group, and the other is the political power represented by Jiang Longjun, the municipal party secretary."

"Now I'm involved, so I can barely be considered a third party."

"It's very complicated. The community of interests represented by the Lixin Group not only includes the Yang family and the Lixin Group, but also includes a large group of leading cadres, criminal gangs, business owners, and other forces. It's very complicated. It can be said that the entire Shazhou is the world of the Yang family."

"The political forces represented by Jiang Longjun are not simple either. Many people have close ties with the Lixin Group. Therefore, the situation in Shazhou is simple and complicated at the same time. It is difficult to tell who is who. In short, it is difficult to completely get anything done in Shazhou without the Lixin Group." Qin Feng concluded.

Qin Feng's assessment of the Lixin Group was similar to what Zhao Hongjian had in mind. He then asked, "What is Jiang Longjun's attitude towards the Lixin Group? What is his relationship with the Lixin Group? Are they in the same boat?"

"That's not the case. If Jiang Longjun had completely sided with the Lixin Group, then the entire Shazhou would have been completely out of control. With their personalities, they would have done anything against the will of heaven. The sky under Shazhou would have been broken long ago. So I guess the provincial government had this in mind when they appointed Jiang Longjun as the Secretary of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee."

"I can confirm that Jiang Longjun has no direct connection with the Lixin Group. However, Jiang Longjun has also turned a blind eye to the Lixin Group, allowing it to continue to grow."

"Jiang Longjun is a political opportunist who only cares about political gain. He won't take the risk of having any connection with the Lixin Group, but he won't go against the Lixin Group either, because it won't benefit him."

"So in my opinion, the Lixin Group is naturally the culprit for the current situation in Shazhou, but Jiang Longjun's connivance, evasion, and even secret protection also bear a great responsibility." Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said, his hatred for Jiang Longjun was no less than that for Yang Zhijie.

Zhao Hongjian listened carefully to what Qin Feng said. After Qin Feng finished speaking, he said, "After I came to Zhongjiang, Jiang Longjun not only took the initiative to call me twice to report on his work, but also personally brought an antique calligraphy and painting to my house."

Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled and nodded, "I'm not surprised that Jiang Longjun did this. On the contrary, I think it's inevitable. In Jiang Longjun's eyes, political interests come first. You sit in such an important position, how could he not try his best to curry favor with you?"

"He has very good connections in the province. He has been able to get to where he is today thanks to his political speculation skills." Qin Feng didn't have a single good word to say about Jiang Longjun.

"You are very dissatisfied with Jiang Longjun." Zhao Hongjian smiled.

"In my opinion, Jiang Longjun is half responsible for the current situation on Shazhou." Qin Feng said gritting his teeth.

Zhao Hongjian nodded, wrote something on the workbook, and then asked Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, what are your plans next? What difficulties do you encounter? What do you need me to do?"

Zhao Hongjian asked very directly, and this no longer seemed like a conversation between a superior and a subordinate.
