Chapter 2740 Who is the backer?

"Who is the Yang family's backer in the province?" Qin Feng asked Yang Yuxin.

"The Yang family has more than one connection in the province. I have met several of them, but based on my intuition, these people are definitely not the most powerful person behind the Yang family. No one knows who this person is except Yang Guoqiang, including Yang Zhijie." Yang Yuxin shook her head.

From beginning to end, Yang Yuxin called Yang Guoqiang by his name, which also shows his attitude towards Yang Guoqiang.

"I've studied it carefully and analyzed some of the details. I think I should be able to roughly guess who this person is. But Qin Feng, I won't tell you. First, it's just my guess. It's not absolutely correct. Once I tell you, it will affect your judgment and mislead you."

"Secondly... knowing it won't actually help you at all. Some things are better not to know." Yang Yuxin said.

Qin Feng smiled and nodded. "Actually, I've roughly guessed who it is. My guess is basically the same as yours. You're right. It's better for me not to know. This is a struggle at the top, and I have no right to participate, nor can I. So, knowing who the other party is is useless to me."

"You are smarter and more clear-headed than I thought. Can you tell me why you can't touch the Yang family now?" Yang Yuxin asked.

"You're right. The reason they sent me to Shazhou was actually to target the Lixin Group. They've discovered problems with the Lixin Group through various channels and have sent people to investigate secretly. However, every time they come, they encounter various problems that hinder the investigation."

"The higher-ups felt that both the Lixin Group and Shazhou City had major problems, so they parachuted a comrade into Shazhou to serve as mayor. Their goal, of course, was to find out exactly what the problems were with the Lixin Group and Shazhou itself."

"This comrade is Qi Yaqiu. You are undoubtedly familiar with what happened to him. The most outrageous thing is that the conclusion regarding Qi Yaqiu's death was a traffic accident. This incident infuriated the higher-ups and further confirmed that there were serious problems with the Lixin Group. The Lixin Group is not an individual entity, but a massive interest group."

"It was at this time that I was sent to Shazhou. My mission was the same as that of my predecessor, Comrade Qi Yaqiu: to thoroughly investigate the situation and criminal facts of the Lixin Group and the interest group centered around him. However, my mission was different from Comrade Qi Yaqiu's."

"Because my mission is not only to thoroughly investigate the problems of the Lixin Group, but also to thoroughly investigate the problems of the interest groups related to the Lixin Group. At the same time, I believe that it is not just an investigation, but also the elimination of the entire interest group centered around the Lixin Group."

"I was full of confidence before coming here, but after what I saw and heard on Shazhou, my confidence was gradually eroded. The entire Shazhou is almost entirely under the control of the Lixin Group. It has been built into a single entity, a solid block. Except for me, everyone else is almost all in this together."

“Of course, at that time, I still thought of the Lixin Group as the Yang family, and I didn’t realize that the Lixin Group was just a cover-up put forward by the Yang family.

"You've studied my past. My previous working methods were very simple and crude. To use a popular saying, I would just fight if I wasn't convinced. I would act drastically, regardless of the consequences and fearless of death."

"But when we got to the sandbar, I knew I couldn't do it again because this was a sandbar. There was only one outcome for me to do this: I would die here. Qi Yaqiu was a lesson for me, so I had to use the Thirty-Six Stratagems."

"Over the past few months, through various means of forbearance, weighing pros and cons, and with various opportunities and your secret help, I have finally gained a firm foothold in Shazhou and have more or less gained some say. However, the power I currently possess is still far from enough to take action against the new group."

"The sandbar has been managed by your Yang family for so many years, like an impenetrable iron plate. After all this hard work, I have finally dug a hole in it, but it's only a small one."

"To take down the Lixin Group, we must first ensure the absolute loyalty of the Public Security Bureau. You know that the Public Security Bureau is the place your Yang family values ​​most and is also the place most infiltrated. Although I have taken over the Public Security Bureau, it is not that easy to completely eliminate it."

"Even if we eliminate the forces of the Lixin Group in the open, what about those people hidden in the Public Security Bureau who have close interests with the Lixin Group?"

"This is just the Public Security Bureau, and the influence of the Lixin Group in various government departments is even greater and more hidden. If I touch the Lixin Group at this time, I guarantee that all these dark forces will jump out. Then it won't be the Lixin Group that will die, but me." Qin Feng said.

"I know that. Aren't you really just doing two things right now? Didn't you go to such great lengths to take over the Municipal Public Security Bureau just to completely overhaul it? And hasn't Jiang Yunpeng also been clearing out the Lixin Group's influence within the Municipal Public Security Bureau recently?"

"Isn't the purpose of your assessment to eliminate the influence of the Lixin Group within the government? And isn't the purpose of your project assessment to cut off the survival of Shao Hongli's people? As long as Shao Hongli's people are eliminated, and the Public Security Bureau is rectified, won't you achieve your goal?" Yang Yuxin analyzed.

"That's the theory, and that's what I want to do, but it doesn't mean that I will take action against the Yang family immediately after I do these things, because the time is far from right." Qin Feng said.

Yang Yuxin frowned again. In her opinion, after Qin Feng did these things, he would immediately launch a general attack on the Yang family. Not only did he think so, but everyone thought so.

"If the Yang family is really so easy to deal with, how could they have survived on this sandbar for so many years?"

"Let's not talk about my success in cleaning up the Yang family's influence in the judicial system and the government, nor how effective my crackdown on the Yang family's government agents headed by Shao Hongli has been. Even if I achieve 100% success this time, can I still take action against the Yang family?"

"No, by doing this, I'm only trimming the branches of the Yang family tree, without damaging its main trunk. Therefore, it's impossible to cut down the Yang family tree."

"Yuxin, you're from the Yang family. Do you think the reason the Yang family has been able to act lawless for so many years is really because of his complete control over the sandbar?"

"You are wrong. His greatest asset and confidence is not in the sandbar, but in the province. This is also the fundamental reason why he can act lawless and fearlessly." Qin Feng said slowly.
