Chapter 2800 Ready to Take Action at Any Time

In fact, Qin Feng could have talked to Xiao Jian'an in person. If it were the old Qin Feng, he would have done so. However, as he rose through the ranks, gained more experience, and matured, he became more cautious, especially after arriving in Shazhou.

As a leader, getting too close to the business owner has a very negative impact.

The higher one's position, the more distance one should maintain from business owners. This is not just because Qin Feng has become more cautious in Shazhou, but because it has become Qin Feng's personal principle.

So after Xiao Jian'an came to Shazhou this time, Qin Feng only met with him once and had a meal with him. After that, he never met or contacted Xiao Jian'an again. Instead, he handed over the task of contacting Xiao Jian'an to Chen Guohua.

Xiao Jian'an was very clever, so he understood Qin Feng's intentions from the beginning. Therefore, after arriving in Shazhou, he did not take the initiative to seek out Qin Feng. Instead, he actively cultivated relationships with Chen Guohua, Jiang Yunpeng, Sun Yuanwei, and others. He also facilitated many interactions between Meng Dan and Zhang Xinming. Furthermore, through the introductions of Zhang Xinming and Chen Guohua, he maintained contact with Qin Feng's other "favorite generals" in Shazhou.

Xiao Jian'an understood that Qin Feng was no longer the same person he used to be. The higher Qin Feng rose in rank, the lower the status and value of businessmen in his eyes became, and he also became more and more concerned about his influence.

Qin Feng went straight back to the municipal government. As before, Jiang Yunpeng was already waiting at the door of Qin Feng's office before Qin Feng returned.

Jiang Yunpeng didn't need to arrive early at all, and even if he did, he didn't need to stand at the door waiting. But Jiang Yunpeng always insisted on standing at Qin Feng's door waiting. That was Jiang Yunpeng's cleverness.

"Mayor, you've worked hard. I heard you flew to Beijing these past few days, stayed for a day, and then returned to Xidu. Today you rushed back without stopping, working non-stop without a break." Jiang Yunpeng flattered Qin Feng upon seeing him.

Qin Feng glanced at Jiang Yunpeng: "You're the one who's really worked hard. You've been the busiest person lately, and you've even got dark circles under your eyes. Take a good rest after this busy period is over."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he went into his office. Chen Guohua and Jiang Yunpeng followed him in. Zhang Xinming went back to his office to put down his things and then hurried to Qin Feng's office to prepare tea.

After returning to his office, Qin Feng did not sit down behind his desk, but instead chose to sit on the sofa in the reception area.

Jiang Yunpeng and Chen Guohua could roughly understand Qin Feng's attitude today from where he was sitting, so they also sat down on either side of the sofa, and Jiang Yunpeng offered Qin Feng a cigarette.

"When will Mayor Yuanwei arrive?" Qin Feng asked Chen Guohua.

"There are still about ten minutes until the agreed meeting time." Chen Guohua checked the time.

"We'll hold this meeting after Mayor Yuanwei arrives. We still have some time, so let me hear your reports first. Yunpeng, Comrade Guohua has already reported his situation to me. Now, tell me about your situation," Qin Feng said after Jiang Yunpeng lit his cigarette.

“The Secretary-General has certainly already given a general overview, so I’ll just go straight to the situation on our side of the Public Security Bureau,” Jiang Yunpeng nodded.

"First, we arrested Wei Dawei. To avoid alerting him, we had the local police station arrest him on the grounds of fighting. He is still being held at the local police station."

“Although he is being held at the police station, I personally gave the police station an order not to allow anyone to contact him, including the police station itself, and not to disclose any information about Wei Dawei to anyone.”

"I had the city bureau secretly interrogate Wei Dawei last night. Wei Dawei is an honest man, and he confessed everything in no time, detailing how these people lured and arranged for him to jump off the building and cause trouble. We are currently securing the evidence."

"In addition, we have been investigating evidence from the beginning that these people are instigating resistance against the government. We now have detailed information and evidence about this group, and we can arrest them at any time. Moreover, we can guarantee that we will wipe out everyone on this line in one fell swoop," Jiang Yunpeng reported.

"Comrade Yunpeng and I have discussed this matter. As long as we arrest them, we can most likely wipe them all out in one fell swoop, because so far the other side hasn't taken many precautions. And once we wipe them all out, there will basically be no more risks in the entire assessment work, which can be considered a perfect ending and a victory," Chen Guohua replied.

Jiang Yunpeng nodded and continued, "The reason we didn't arrest them immediately and kept it a secret is mainly because we were afraid of affecting Mayor Yuanwei's work. Currently, it seems that the two sides are working together, and the perpetrators overlap. Furthermore, we believe that the assessment work here is just a prelude to the main course, which is on Mayor Yuanwei's side. We are afraid of delaying important matters, so we dare not take any action and can only wait for Mayor Yuanwei to return and give us orders."

Zhang Xinming brought over the tea. Today, Qin Feng didn't use the tea set on the table, but instead asked Zhang Xinming to brew a few cups of tea for everyone.

"Have you apprehended all the criminals involved in this operation? And have you obtained solid evidence?" Qin Feng asked.

"Uh... Mayor, the situation is like this: we have information on all the criminals involved in this operation, but we haven't been able to track and monitor them all. Firstly, because we have limited personnel; we have too many operations to carry out recently, and we simply can't spare that many police officers. Also, everyone is already operating at full capacity."

"Secondly, it's also for the sake of secrecy. The personnel we can use are all absolutely loyal, so the number of personnel we can use is limited. At the same time, we dare not conduct surveillance rashly, for fear of being discovered by the other party and arousing their vigilance, which would ruin everything."

"Therefore, we did not take any tracking or surveillance measures, but we have a complete grasp of the information on these individuals, and so far, we have comprehensive evidence, which fully meets the conditions for arrest," Jiang Yunpeng answered cautiously.

"If I let you take action, how confident are you in catching them all? At the very least, you need to ensure the chain of evidence is complete and that the case is airtight," Qin Feng asked.

"I am absolutely confident about this. We have already prepared various contingency plans and drills to ensure that nothing goes wrong," Jiang Yunpeng said with great confidence.

"Can the evidence we have now directly implicate the Lixin Group or the Yang family?" Qin Feng asked again.

Jiang Yunpeng shook his head: "The evidence we have so far has no direct connection to Lixin Group. I don't think even if we arrest everyone, anyone will implicate Lixin Group. Mayor, this is also a disappointment of mine. It will be very difficult to use this case as a breakthrough to crack Lixin Group."

Qin Feng smiled and turned to Chen Guohua, asking, "If we arrest people now, will the entire assessment process be affected? Can you guarantee that the subsequent assessment work will be completed smoothly and that our goals will be achieved?"
