Chapter 2945 Warrior? Madman?

"What you're doing is no different from suicide!" Feng Changjun said bluntly, his voice rising in anger.

"You're right, I am committing suicide. Since I'm going to die anyway, why not stand up and fight them to the death instead of being killed by them? Losing is just death, it's just a matter of living a few more or a few less days. What if I win?"

"If they want to kill me, then I'll tear down the roof. I'll be crushed to death, but they might not survive either. We'll all die together." Qin Feng said this with an unusually calm expression.

Feng Changjun was shocked. He knew that the person sitting in front of him was the mayor, but at this moment he felt that the person in front of him was a desperate man. This was the first time he had seen such a person who was completely fearless in the officialdom, so much so that he was completely at a loss for words.

“I shut down the Yang family's casino, tearing away the fig leaf for the entire Shazhou City and even Ganliang Province. The sky has fallen over Shazhou City. I’m definitely done for, but the Yang family is basically gone too. As for Jiang Longjun… he will definitely be greatly affected.”

"When the time comes, you need to build a closer relationship with Tang Zeyan to ensure our internal unity. We are not without the ability to protect ourselves. As long as we weather this storm, the situation in Shazhou will become much clearer, which will be very beneficial to you. When that time comes, you must remember what I entrusted to you: protect these comrades and ensure that our policies continue." Qin Feng entrusted Feng Changjun once again.

"Mayor, does Secretary Zhao agree to what you're doing?" Feng Changjun was still under the influence of Qin Feng's domineering and desperate aura.

Qin Feng shook his head and said with a smile, "If he knew, he definitely wouldn't agree to me doing this. What would I do then? Do it or not? So I can't tell him."

"Mayor, listen to my advice, things aren't that serious at all. It's just a fire, no one died. Even if the province investigates, they won't get very deep. Even if they insist on targeting you and pinning all the blame on you, at most it'll just be a disciplinary action..." Feng Changjun was still trying to persuade him.

"Give them a disciplinary action for the fire, but what if they continue to investigate Huayang Group's involvement in Shazhou? What if they bring up these projects again?" Qin Feng countered Feng Changjun.

"Alright, I've made my decision. I'm telling you this not to get involved, but to completely avoid this matter. Don't have anything to do with it, pretend you know nothing, and protect yourself." Qin Feng interrupted Feng Changjun's attempt to continue persuading him.

Just then, Zhang Xinming knocked on the door: "Mayor, Vice Mayor Jiang is here."

Qin Feng and Feng Changjun were talking inside. Zhang Xinming shouldn't have come in to disturb them. Even if Jiang Yunpeng came, he should have waited outside until Feng Changjun came out before Jiang Yunpeng could go in.

However, Qin Feng had specifically instructed Zhang Xinming to go directly to his office after Jiang Yunpeng arrived, which is why Zhang Xinming knocked on the door and went in to announce Jiang Yunpeng's arrival.

"Old Feng, you should go back first. Remember what I told you," Qin Feng said to Feng Changjun with a smile.

Looking at Qin Feng in front of him, Feng Changjun felt that he was a warrior, but also that he was a madman.

In fact, according to Qin Feng, if he really did that, the sky over Shazhou would really fall, and Qin Feng, the Yang family, and Jiang Longjun would all be in trouble, but Feng Changjun would definitely be the biggest beneficiary.

In the past, Feng Changjun would have been laughing in his sleep, but now he couldn't feel happy at all. He didn't want Qin Feng to do this, and he didn't know why.

Feng Changjun sighed. He knew Qin Feng had made up his mind, and he couldn't persuade him otherwise. He got up and walked out.

As Feng Changjun walked out the door, he bumped into Jiang Yunpeng, who was standing at the door and about to come in.

Feng Changjun grabbed Jiang Yunpeng and pulled him a few steps outside.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yunpeng asked in surprise, wondering what Feng Changjun was up to, especially since they were right outside Qin Feng's office.

“You remember this: persuade the mayor not to act recklessly, and even more importantly, don’t follow his lead. Do you hear me?” Feng Changjun warned Jiang Yunpeng.

Jiang Yunpeng was filled with confusion: "What nonsense?"

"Just remember what I said," Feng Changjun repeated, then walked away.

Jiang Yunpeng scratched his head, completely clueless, and walked into Qin Feng's office with a puzzled look on his face.

"Mayor!" Jiang Yunpeng walked into Qin Feng's office with a smile, his tone casual, but he stood respectfully in front of Qin Feng.

"Sit down!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Before sitting down, Jiang Yunpeng lit a cigarette for Qin Feng and then lit one for himself. He knew that Qin Feng had a heavy smoking habit and would habitually light a cigarette before discussing business.

"Mayor, before I came here, I asked the person in charge of the investigation at the fire site. They are still investigating on site. According to their preliminary investigation, there are indeed many unreasonable aspects to this fire, and the possibility of arson is very high." Jiang Yunpeng reported proactively, thinking that Qin Feng had called him over to ask about this matter.

"Have you found conclusive evidence? Can you catch the arsonist?" Qin Feng asked calmly.

"Um... no evidence was found. This is a construction site, there are no surveillance cameras nearby, people come and go in a complicated manner, and there was a fire there before, so it's difficult to leave any evidence at the scene."

"However, finding the cause of the fire is not difficult. When our technicians and fire experts conduct a technical investigation of the scene, we will be able to determine the cause of the fire. Whether it was a natural fire or arson will definitely be clear," Jiang Yunpeng said.

"So do you think we bear more responsibility for a fire that started naturally or for arson?" Qin Feng countered.

Jiang Yunpeng was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer.

"Debating the cause of the fire is useless; will it help catch the arsonist?"

“Uh…Mayor…this might be difficult…” Jiang Yunpeng told the truth.

"Yeah, they can't even catch the arsonist. Even if they can prove it was arson, would they dare to classify it as arson?" Qin Feng sneered.

Jiang Yunpeng's face was grim, but he didn't dare to utter a sound. Qin Feng was right; if they couldn't catch the culprit, even if they could prove it was arson, they would only dare to classify it as a natural fire.

“I will find a way to find the arsonist,” Jiang Yunpeng replied.

"I hope so, but that's not why I called you here today." Qin Feng didn't seem too concerned about whether or not the arsonist could be caught.

"Do you remember when I asked you to inspect the Lixin Hotel last time, I also asked you to secretly conduct a comprehensive investigation of the underground casino beneath it? What was your answer to me that time?"

"You said you have a complete grasp of the underground casino situation, and that you can launch a crackdown on the entire underground casino whenever needed, is that right?" Qin Feng asked slowly while smoking, very calmly and casually.
