Chapter 2920 Changing the Landscape of the Province

"After you've seen this, give me a straight answer: are you confident you can get solid evidence that Qi Yaqiu's death was orchestrated by the Yang family?" Qin Feng asked after Jiang Yunpeng finished his presentation.

Jiang Yunpeng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should we conduct a public investigation, or should we continue with a secret investigation?"

"Whether to conduct a public investigation is not up to us. Until I receive orders from above, this matter can only continue to be investigated secretly, even if we have already obtained conclusive evidence," Qin Feng reminded Jiang Yunpeng.

Jiang Yunpeng nodded and replied, "A secret investigation is very difficult. It requires secrecy and many methods cannot be used. But with this video, I am confident that I can investigate the matter thoroughly and obtain evidence."

"No, I can't give you this video, and you must promise not to tell anyone that you watched it today. Like I said, until I receive orders from above to take action against the Yang family, this video is top secret."

"I'm showing you this today so you can have a clearer understanding of the Qi Yaqiu case, to help you better grasp the direction for finding evidence, not to give you this video as the basis for your investigation," Qin Feng shook his head.

Jiang Yunpeng was somewhat surprised. He carefully considered Qin Feng's words and then nodded again.

"I told you before, the root of the problem with the Yang family doesn't lie in our Shazhou, nor in our hands; it lies in the province. Until the political landscape in the province undergoes a complete transformation, it's absolutely impossible to touch the Yang family, even if we have solid evidence, because there's no way to get anything done. You should understand this," Qin Feng explained to Jiang Yunpeng.

“I understand, I won’t act rashly.” Jiang Yunpeng nodded again.

"I will submit this video later. Although this video cannot prove that Qi Yaqiu's death was caused by the Yang family, it can at least prove that Qi Yaqiu's death was not a traffic accident, and that is enough."

"If I'm not mistaken, as long as I submit this video, the higher-ups will definitely take action, and the resolution of the Yang family issue may enter an accelerated phase. So you need to find a way to obtain conclusive evidence that the Yang family planned to murder Qi Yaqiu as soon as possible, and also start systematically collecting all evidence related to the Yang family's illegal and criminal activities."

"When the time is right, we can act directly, instead of doing all this work at that point..."

Qin Feng flew to Xidu that evening. Although he only took Zhang Xinming with him, Chen Guohua and several heads of relevant departments had actually arrived in Xidu the day before.

Gansu and Liangshan are not like the eastern provinces. In the east, city leaders have to travel to the provincial capital every week. But Gansu and Liangshan are different because the area is too big and the distances are too far. People like Qin Feng don't have the time or energy to travel to the provincial capital more often. Because of this, the provincial government doesn't hold meetings as frequently, and many meetings are held directly via video.

Because he rarely went to the provincial capital, Qin Feng would always finish up all the backlogged work at once whenever he went there. As a result, his schedule was always very full when he went to the provincial capital. Chen Guohua and the people from the relevant departments would arrive in Xidu in advance to prepare for Qin Feng's work.

Because Feng Changjun took over as executive vice mayor, he was directly responsible for many of the liaison work with various departments in the province, which greatly reduced Qin Feng's workload. However, there were still many tasks that he, as mayor, had to handle personally, as executive vice mayor is still just vice mayor.

Qin Feng went straight to the hotel after getting off the plane; his work schedule had already begun.

The next morning, Qin Feng first took Chen Guohua and several heads of municipal government departments to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. They sat down with the leaders of the Commission for a meeting. The purpose was twofold: first, to build closer relations between the two organizations; second, to discuss the planning and development of the sandbar; and ultimately, to seek more policy and financial support from the province.

After leaving the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Qin Feng went to the Provincial Government and began to report on the work in Shazhou to the main leaders of the Provincial Government one by one. Those who should be criticized were criticized, those who should make self-criticisms made self-criticisms, and those who should make guarantees made guarantees.

At 3 p.m., Qin Feng and Zhang Xinming arrived at the Provincial Party Committee on time, and then went to Zhao Hongjian's office right on time.

Meeting Zhao Hongjian was Qin Feng's main purpose in coming to Xidu.

After Qin Feng entered, Zhao Hongjian told his secretary to leave and close the door behind him, instructing him not to come in and disturb Qin Feng unless it was absolutely necessary.

After the secretary left, Qin Feng took out a USB drive and handed it to Zhao Hongjian.

Zhao Hongjian looked at the USB drive and asked, "Is this what it is?"

"Yes, I'll show you." Qin Feng stood up, ready to operate on Zhao Hongjian's computer.

Zhao Hongjian waved his hand: "No need. Since you said that the contents here can prove that Qi Yaqiu's death was murder, how could I not believe you? I will go to Beijing in a couple of days, and I will personally hand this over then."

"Qin Feng, this thing could be very significant; it might even directly change the power structure of Gansu and Liangzhou," Zhao Hongjian said, pointing to the USB drive on the table.

Qin Feng nodded. He understood this principle as well, since he had met the big boss in Beijing before and knew his attitude.

The big boss wants enough evidence to prove that Qi Yaqiu was indeed murdered. As long as there is this evidence, the big boss will believe that there is a big problem in Ganliang Province, and then he will naturally give Ganliang Province drugs, injections, or even surgery.

"I want to know if this problem can be solved in one go? Like I said, to get rid of the Yang family, we must first change the political landscape of the province, otherwise no one can purge the Yang family. You've been telling me that there might be major changes in the province, so why hasn't anything happened yet?" Qin Feng asked.

"The reason there's been no movement is because you haven't provided this," Zhao Hongjian said with a smile, pointing to the USB drive on the table again.

Qin Feng frowned, not quite understanding.

“We have never had any evidence to prove that there is a big problem in Gansu and Liangzhou provinces. The big boss can’t completely believe what we say. After all, this move is too big. It’s not a joke. Everyone has to be cautious.”

"Moreover, even though Minister Hong and his team are pushing this matter with all their might, the opponents will not sit idly by and wait for their doom; there is a lot of resistance."

"This matter has been shelved until the big boss makes a final statement. That's why I said that with your thing, the situation in Gansu and Liangshan should change. I think this thing should make the big boss make up his mind."

"Qin Feng, if the higher-ups really are going to take big action against Gansu and Liangshan this time, you'll be credited with a great deal. We never expected you could actually find the evidence," Zhao Hongjian said with a smile. It was clear that he was very happy and somewhat excited.
