Chapter 2809 Understanding

"Understood, I know what to do." Jiang Yunpeng nodded.

"Another point to note is to find a way to ensure Xiao Jian'an's safety, and of course, the safety of other entrepreneurs who are willing to take over these projects. This is crucial," Qin Feng concluded.

"Mayor Yuanwei has already assigned me to do this, and I even went to see President Xiao a couple of days ago to mention it to him."

"Mr. Xiao said that he was aware of the danger before he came to Shazhou, so he strengthened his defenses, hired four bodyguards to protect him, and kept to himself. He rarely went out and rarely appeared in public places."

“I’ve arranged for a team of police officers to protect Mr. Xiao since yesterday. So far, there’s been no indication that the other side is targeting him. I think Mr. Xiao’s safety should be fine,” Jiang Yunpeng instructed.

“Jiang Yunpeng, it’s one thing if other people think this way, but if you think this way too, then the problem is quite serious.”

"Have you thought about what would happen if something happened to Xiao Jian'an? What kind of situation would we face then? If something happens to Xiao Jian'an, we will lose everything."

"Their lack of plans against Xiao Jian'an might be because they haven't realized what we're going to do next. Given Shao Hongli and Yang Zhijie's style, if they knew Xiao Jian'an would be taking over these projects, they would definitely have made a move against him."

"So their inaction now doesn't mean they won't act in the future, and the lack of signs of action doesn't mean they aren't planning it."

"The most crucial point is... we can't afford to lose!" Qin Feng said very seriously, and somewhat angrily.

Jiang Yunpeng had only said it casually, but he realized he had made a mistake as soon as he said it. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. I will make new arrangements when I get back and make sure to ensure President Xiao's absolute safety."

"Mayor Yuanwei, you've worked the hardest. The entire work requires your full control. You have rich experience in working with the masses, and I'm very relieved to have you in charge," Qin Feng said with a smile to Sun Yuanwei.

"The mayor has praised me. May I summarize this work into a few points? First, we dealt with projects that halted work in protest with a heavy hand and showed no leniency. Second, we focused on appeasing the public and protecting their interests, while also strengthening ideological guidance."

"Third, we will use other and future policy benefits as a condition to get Huayang Group and other companies to quickly take over these projects and ensure their smooth progress."

"Fourth, a swift and decisive victory," Sun Yuanwei concluded.

“Your summary is very accurate. These are my points. However, Mayor Yuanwei, these four points are just my personal suggestions, not orders.”

"I'll say it again: you're the commander-in-chief. You decide how things are done. As long as we achieve our goals, you can be flexible and even disregard my instructions," Qin Feng said.

Although Qin Feng's words were simple, they carried great weight, demonstrating his trust in Sun Yuanwei.

"Thank you for your trust, Mayor. I will strictly follow your orders," Sun Yuanwei said after glancing at Qin Feng.

The conversation between the two was quite interesting. Qin Feng emphasized that what he said was just his personal suggestion, not an order, while Sun Yuanwei insisted that he would strictly carry out the mayor's orders.

This also shows that Sun Yuanwei is very good at maintaining a proper balance.

“Mayor, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now. After all, time is tight and there’s still a lot to do. And if the Public Security Bureau takes action against the assessment team immediately, they might mobilize their people here to cause trouble beforehand. I have to be prepared.” Sun Yuanwei finished speaking and stood up.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Qin Feng shook hands with Sun Yuanwei.

"Mayor, I'll make the arrangements right away and try to get started this afternoon," Chen Guohua said.

"What's your opinion?" Qin Feng asked Jiang Yunpeng.

“From the perspective of our Public Security Bureau, I think it would be more advantageous to operate at night, as this would maximize the chances of catching them all in one fell swoop. However, this might cause some trouble for the Secretary-General and Mayor Yuan Wei,” Jiang Yunpeng said after thinking.

"It will indeed cause trouble for Mayor Guohua and Mayor Yuanwei tonight, but it will also catch them off guard. Let's start the operation tonight," Qin Feng decided.

"Comrade Guohua, you go ahead and make the arrangements." Qin Feng told Chen Guohua to leave first.

Jiang Yunpeng understood immediately that Qin Feng wanted him to stay, so he didn't get up and leave with Chen Guohua, but remained sitting on the sofa.

After Chen Guohua left, Zhang Xinming, who had been sitting in his office watching the situation, came in to tidy up and was surprised to find that Jiang Yunpeng had not left.

"Just ask me anything you want to ask," Qin Feng said after taking the cigarette Jiang Yunpeng offered.

"Mayor, you've explained everything else very clearly. There's only one thing I'm still unsure about: you've demanded a swift and decisive crackdown on all criminals, but... what if it involves the Lixin Group or the Yang family?" Jiang Yunpeng asked.

After listening, Qin Feng smiled and asked, "What's your opinion?"

"I...I have no objection. I will listen to you, Mayor. If you think it's time to take action against the Yang family, then I will resolutely carry it out. If you think it's not the right time, I will not cause any trouble and will handle the situation carefully," Jiang Yunpeng said.

"You're getting smarter and smarter. You seem to have said nothing, but you've actually said everything. You've already said that now is not the time. Taking action against the Yang family at this time will only cause trouble. What else can I say?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Jiang Yunpeng's words were essentially advising Qin Feng against directly clashing with the Yang family at this time.

“This is not the time to directly clash with the Yang family. First, the situation in the province is not in our favor. Even if we take action against the Yang family, we will not be able to bring them down. Instead, it will only cause us trouble. Only a fool would do something that he knows will not succeed.”

"Secondly, Jiang Longjun just called me last time to warn me not to have a direct conflict with the Yang family. If I take action against the Yang family again this time, he might think I'm deliberately provoking him. I can't afford to offend Jiang Longjun now."

"Thirdly, although the Yang family wanted to remove me from power this time, they didn't directly intervene or go to such extremes. So we can't directly target the Yang family. It's never a good thing to drive a dog crazy."

"So...we'll do it your way. We'll bring these criminals to justice and deal with them seriously. But if the Yang family or core members of the Lixin Group are involved, we'll secure the evidence and settle accounts later," Qin Feng said.

"Okay, I know what to do." Jiang Yunpeng felt relieved after hearing Qin Feng's words.
