Chapter 2823 Yang Guoqiang's Speculation

Qin Feng realized that Yang Yuxin was inquiring about his trip to Beijing, and nodded as if he didn't know anything: "Everything went smoothly."

"That's all?" Yang Yuxin waited a few seconds and asked after Qin Feng said nothing more.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want me to say?" Qin Feng asked.

Yang Yuxin glanced at Qin Feng, then pouted, "Fine, don't tell me then, I don't want to hear it anyway."

Qin Feng smiled and took a sip of red wine.

“Yang Guoqiang is very concerned about your trip to Beijing. He’s been trying to find out what you were doing there ever since you arrived,” Yang Yuxin said slowly.

Qin Feng was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why is he paying attention to me?"

“As I said, Yang Guoqiang may seem to be hiding in the old Yang family mansion and not care about worldly affairs, but in reality, everything is under his control. Judging from this incident, he must know everything you do, otherwise he wouldn’t have known you went to Beijing so quickly,” Yang Yuxin explained.

"How did you know your dad was asking about my trip to Beijing? Didn't you say he didn't trust you?"

"He definitely wouldn't tell me about this. It was Uncle Yin who told me. Yang Guoqiang asked Uncle Yin to find out who you met in Beijing and what your purpose and content were."

"Is it Yin Da, the butler of the Yang family that you mentioned?"

“Yes, most of the information I gave you came from him. You’re still sitting here safely today thanks to him,” Yang Yuxin said. Yang Yuxin had mentioned Yin Da’s contributions to Qin Feng several times, naturally with the aim of getting Qin Feng to let Yin Da go in the future.

"Why did your father investigate my trip to Beijing?" Qin Feng asked, swirling his glass of red wine.

This red wine is quite good. Qin Feng knew it must be very expensive as soon as he tasted it, but even the most expensive red wine was not to his liking.

"He thinks that your trip to Beijing is most likely to discuss the Qi Yaqiu death case with the bigwigs there. Even if it's not about the Qi Yaqiu death case, it will definitely be about the Lixin Group and the Yang family." Yang Yuxin said while drinking red wine, her white thighs swaying, making Qin Feng a little distracted.

Qin Feng was shocked. He hadn't expected Yang Guoqiang to be so capable, able to guess this.

"Aren't you surprised? Do you think Yang Guoqiang is amazing? Actually, there's no need to make a fuss. Not only did Yang Guoqiang guess it, but I guessed it too. When you told me you were going to Beijing on a business trip for a few days, I guessed that you were going to report to the leaders above about the Lixin Group and the Yang family, and the focus would definitely be on your investigation into Qi Yaqiu's death," Yang Yuxin asked.

"How did you guess?" Qin Feng asked seriously, no longer looking at Yang Yuxin's thighs.

“Others may not know, but Yang Guoqiang and I are very clear that you came to Shazhou specifically to investigate the truth behind Qi Yaqiu’s death.”

"Although Gansu Province and Shazhou City handled the case of Qi Yaqiu's death perfectly, leaving no flaws, even the most perfect case could not fool those people in Beijing. Anyone in the industry could see through the case, so Beijing must have had doubts about Qi Yaqiu's death."

"Moreover, Qi Yaqiu's death is not just a simple case of a mayor dying. The underlying political interests and symbolic significance are extremely important. The capital authorities will never let the Qi Yaqiu death case end like this."

"So one of your tasks in Shazhou must be to investigate the truth behind Qi Yaqiu's death. Moreover, Qi Yaqiu himself was sent by the capital to investigate the problems in Shazhou. The biggest problems in Shazhou are naturally the Lixin Group and the Yang family. Qi Yaqiu has been working in Shazhou for so long, it's impossible that he didn't report the Lixin Group and the Yang family to the capital."

“So, besides investigating the truth behind Qi Yaqiu’s death, the reason why the capital city is willing to break with Gansu and Liangzhou provinces to send you to Shazhou must also be aimed at the Lixin Group and the Yang family,” Yang Yuxin analyzed.

Qin Feng nodded: "It's not surprising that you could guess this, and I don't deny it, but what does this have to do with what I'm going to do in Beijing this time?"

"You've been in Shazhou for half a year now, haven't you? Have you been to Beijing a few times?" Yang Yuxin asked.

"This is the first time," Qin Feng replied.

"Although you were transferred directly from Beijing, you are now a cadre under the management of Gansu and Liangzhou provinces. You have no direct business with Beijing. So why are you suddenly going to Beijing? What else could it be but to report to the bigwig who sent you down? It's not hard to guess. And it's not hard to guess what kind of work you're going to report to this bigwig."

"Do you remember asking me about Qi Yaqiu's death case not long before you went to Beijing? If you connect the dots, it's easier to guess. As for why Yang Guoqiang guessed so accurately, I don't know."

"What I suspect now is whether you secretly sent people to investigate Qi Yaqiu's death and Yang Guoqiang found out?" Yang Yuxin asked Qin Feng in return.

Qin Feng was also startled, but he remained calm and said with a smile, "Whether he notices it or not is not important."

“No, you’re wrong, it’s very important.” Yang Yuxin shook her head.

"He called Yang Zhijie back today to inquire about their plans against you," Yang Yuxin asked Qin Feng.

Qin Feng looked at Yang Yuxin in surprise, stood up, walked to the side, picked up a cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and sat back down.

"What... was his attitude?" Qin Feng asked Yang Yuxin after taking a few puffs of his cigarette.

Yang Yuxin shook her head: "I don't know. They talked alone, so no one knows what they talked about, let alone Yang Guoqiang's attitude."

"However, we can roughly infer Yang Guoqiang's attitude toward this matter from several aspects."

"First, since Yang Guoqiang handed over this whole business to Yang Zhijie a few years ago, he has hardly been involved in anything, at least not on the surface. Although he is fully aware of what Yang Zhijie is doing, he rarely interferes in person."

"But this time he took the initiative to call Yang Zhijie over to ask about this matter, which means he wants to interfere. So there are only two possibilities: either he supports Yang Zhijie in doing this, or he does not allow Yang Zhijie to do this."

“Yang Zhijie isn’t very good at controlling his emotions. If he leaves looking upset, it’s probably because Yang Guoqiang told him to stop and forbade him from doing it. But this time, Yang Zhijie left in high spirits, so… the most likely scenario is that Yang Guoqiang asked Yang Zhijie to do it,” Yang Yuxin analyzed.

Qin Feng sat there and continued smoking.

"You mean Yang Guoqiang realized that I was investigating the truth behind Qi Yaqiu's death, and that my trip to Beijing was to report the truth about Qi Yaqiu's death to the authorities there. He sensed danger and felt that I was a threat, so he hoped that Yang Zhijie could kill me this time, is that right?" Qin Feng asked Yang Yuxin after thinking for a moment.
