Chapter 2824 You're in Danger This Time

“I’m not sure, but I guess that’s how it should be.” Yang Yuxin nodded.

Qin Feng continued smoking, and after a few puffs, he said, "I'm not sure if Yang Guoqiang guessed what I was doing in Beijing, but I'm sure he didn't find out that I was investigating Qi Yaqiu's death. But according to what you said, Yang Guoqiang must have guessed something from my trip to Beijing, which is why he thinks I'm a threat."

"If he really found out that I was investigating the truth behind Qi Yaqiu's death, his reaction would not be so calm. Moreover, the province would not remain silent. You know, if Qi Yaqiu's death case is overturned, it won't just be your Yang family that falls; the entire Ganliang province will collapse."

"So, were you actually investigating Qi Yaqiu's death? Did you report on Qi Yaqiu's death when you went to Beijing this time? More importantly, what is the attitude of the Beijing authorities?" Yang Yuxin asked.

Qin Feng looked at Yang Yuxin with some wariness, but didn't say anything.

"What? Even now you still don't believe me?" Yang Yuxin said, somewhat angrily.

Qin Feng shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't know how to answer you."

"If you ask me whether I am investigating the Qi Yaqiu death case, I can tell you clearly that I have been investigating the Qi Yaqiu death case since I came to Shazhou, but as you also know, I am not capable of investigating this case, nor do I dare to investigate it."

“I’ve been in trouble ever since I didn’t investigate this case. If I had actually investigated it, even if I were still alive today, I would never have been the mayor.”

"As long as I get involved in Qi Yaqiu's case, the Yang family can't possibly be unaware of it, right?"

"The information I have about the Qi Yaqiu case is basically what you told me, just some fragmented information, and this information has not been verified and has no evidence. Do you think I would dare to report this to my superiors?"

"When I went to Beijing this time, I did raise the issues of Shazhou with the leaders, focusing on your Yang family. However, I didn't comment on the Qi Yaqiu case. I can't bring it up before I have evidence, and I don't dare to," Qin Feng said to Yang Yuxin.

Qin Feng lied to Yang Yuxin, not because he didn't trust her, but because the matter was too important for him to mention to anyone.

"Judging from what you said, my trip to Beijing must have made your father nervous, but he only had Yang Zhijie continue to play tricks on me, which means he only thinks I am a potential threat. This also means that he guessed that I definitely don't have any real evidence, so he won't fight me to the death. In other words, whether your father asks about it or not doesn't make much difference to me right now. Am I right?" Qin Feng continued to analyze.

"Your analysis makes some sense, but Qin Feng and Yang Guoqiang have been hiding behind the scenes, letting Yang Zhijie run wild outside. Why? Because no matter how much Yang Zhijie messes things up, if something happens, Qin Feng can simply say that he was unaware of it and that it was caused by Yang Zhijie's disobedience and recklessness, and that it did not represent the Yang family's wishes. No matter how big the problem is, there is always room for maneuver."

"For example, the matter of framing you last time, and even the death of Qi Yaqiu, there is a fundamental difference between what he did and what Yang Zhijie did, from the perspective of the provincial authorities."

“If Yang Guoqiang didn’t want Yang Zhijie to do something, he would have stopped him before he even started. But if Yang Guoqiang wanted Yang Zhijie to do something, he would pretend not to know and then come to the rescue if something went wrong.”

"So all the things Yang Zhijie did were actually things Yang Guoqiang wanted him to do, but Yang Guoqiang always stayed behind the scenes. But this time, Yang Guoqiang personally got involved in this matter, which is enough to show that Yang Guoqiang's attitude has changed and he really thinks you are a threat."

"Or to put it more directly, I think this represents the intention of certain people in the province. If it weren't for that person in the province, Yang Guoqiang would never have personally intervened in this matter, leaving himself with no way out."

“Qin Feng, this is what I’m most worried about. And I also think this is definitely related to your trip to Beijing, because Yang Guoqiang’s attitude changed immediately after you came back from Beijing.” Yang Yuxin was a little worried about Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was startled. Yang Yuxin's analysis was correct and logical. If that was really the case... then it could only mean that some people in the province already knew or guessed Hong Yongliang and others' plans, and might even know the big boss's attitude.

"No matter what, Yang Guoqiang's involvement in this matter means that their plan against you will be more intense this time, and it is very likely that they will have the support of certain people in the province. Their goal is definitely to bring you down. Qin Feng, you must take this seriously."

“I’m asking you, do you have a solution? Do you know how tense the situation is right now? A knife is already at your throat. Let me tell you, I’ve been keeping an eye on Yang Zhijie’s moves for the past two days.”

"First of all, there's the assessment you've been working on. According to their plan, someone was supposed to jump off a building today, but it seems there's been a last-minute change. It's been moved to tomorrow or the day after. They've already prepared all the media campaigns. As long as this person is on the road, there will be a deluge of news, along with a lot of attacks on the municipal government and on you personally. You've seen their tactics for manipulating public opinion before."

"This is just the assessment. Today, the sports center and sewage pipe renovation projects have been suspended. Tomorrow, three more projects will be suspended as well. After the suspension, they will use the media to smear the government and attack you, while at the same time starting to incite the emotions of these migrant workers. When the migrant workers' emotions have accumulated to a certain extent, they will organize the migrant workers and some of the people they have arranged to start acting according to the plan."

“This time they spent a lot of money to create momentum in the media. According to Yang Zhijie, this time they are determined to take you down from the position of mayor and will not give you any chance to turn things around…” Yang Yuxin became more and more agitated as she spoke. She was really worried about Qin Feng.

Yang Yuxin was worried partly because she truly loved Qin Feng, but more importantly because whether Qin Feng could overcome this obstacle was directly related to her revenge plan.

Qin Feng listened attentively to Yang Yuxin without interrupting. He could sense Yang Yuxin's concern for him from her words.

“Before Yang Guoqiang’s involvement, things weren’t so serious. At least you had Deputy Secretary Zhao in the province to protect you. But now that Yang Guoqiang has intervened, it’s very likely that he represents the will of certain people in the province, which means…” Yang Yuxin said, looking anxiously at Qin Feng again.
