Chapter 2955 A Knife to the Neck

Why did Yang Guoqiang invite Qin Feng to dinner at this time? Qianfeng wasn't so naive as to think that he was trying to curry favor with the mayor at this moment.

Qin Feng is in a very critical situation, and all of this is caused by Yang Guoqiang. Yang Guoqiang has never tried to curry favor with Qin Feng before, so why would he try to curry favor with him now?

If you think about it carefully, it's not hard to guess what Yang Guoqiang really wants to do. It's like someone holding a knife to your neck. He will only do two things: either kill you or start threatening you and negotiating with you.

Now that Yang Guoqiang has a knife to Qin Feng's neck, his sudden invitation to dinner is definitely an attempt to negotiate terms.

Having thought of this, Qin Feng understood everything and said to Yang Yuxin, "I don't think it's necessary for me to have this meal with your father; it's pointless."

“He said you would definitely agree to come,” Yang Yuxin said.

Qin Feng smiled. Yang Guoqiang was so confident that he would agree to have the meal because he believed that Qin Feng had reached a dead end and had no other choice but to beg for mercy.

And indeed, Qin Feng's current situation is exactly like that.

“Your dad is very confident, but he’s right. For me right now, going to have this meal with him is the best option.”

"However, I have a strange personality; I'd rather starve than eat food given to me by others. Please thank your father for me and thank him for his kindness," Qin Feng said with a smile.

Yang Yuxin remained silent for a while.

"I think you should go."

"Why?" Qin Feng asked.

“Going out for a meal can’t hurt; things can’t get any worse, right?” Yang Yuxin said.

“What you said makes sense, but it can’t be any better. I can’t give your dad what he wants, and he won’t give me what I want, so there’s nothing to talk about,” Qin Feng replied.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Yang Yuxin was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Even if it's just for me, please come over."

Qin Feng was shocked to hear this. From Yang Yuxin's words and her phrasing, Qin Feng gleaned a lot: Yang Guoqiang was threatening Yang Yuxin.

Qin Feng slowly lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and said to Yang Yuxin, "Okay, I'll go. Where is it?"

“Lixin Hotel,” Yang Yuxin said.

Qin Feng took two more puffs of his cigarette: "I can't go to the Lixin Hotel. Tell your dad that if he really wants to meet, he should find another place."

Qin Feng had to be extremely careful in dealing with people like Yang Guoqiang.

Yang Guoqiang's invitation for Qin Feng to dine at the Lixin Hotel was definitely part of his own agenda. The Lixin Hotel is a property of the Lixin Group and is Yang's territory. For insiders, Qin Feng's visit to the Lixin Hotel at this time would be seen as him begging for mercy from the Yang family. However, for outsiders who don't understand, it would appear as Qin Feng colluding with Yang Guoqiang.

Don't underestimate the power of a simple meal at the Lixin Hotel. It could potentially trigger a major political upheaval. Didn't Jiang Longjun and Yang Guoqiang's meal at the Lixin Hotel a few days ago attract the attention of various parties, including Qin Feng? In fact, it was precisely because Jiang Longjun and Yang Guoqiang had that meal that the fire at the sports center occurred, which also led to Qin Feng's current precarious situation.

"Is your Western restaurant still open?" Qin Feng asked.

"Keep it open, and I'll only close it the day I leave."

"Is the Jiangnan cuisine chef you hired still around?"

"Still."

“Then let’s go to your Western restaurant. I’ll also get to try your Jiangnan cuisine chef’s cooking. I think your dad will agree. If he doesn’t, I won’t go,” Qin Feng said calmly.

"Okay, I'll arrange it, thank you!"

Qin Feng knew why Yang Yuxin said thank you.

"I'm the one who should be saying thank you. I'm the one who owes you. Let's leave it at that for now!" Qin Feng said and hung up the phone.

Yang Guoqiang suspected Yang Yuxin because she secretly passed information to Qin Feng, so Qin Feng had to repay that debt.

"I'm going to have dinner with Yang Guoqiang tonight. Don't let too many people know this. At this time, we must not let morale waver." Qin Feng threw away his cigarette butt.

Shortly after Qin Feng returned to the municipal government, he took Chen Guohua and several other relevant leaders to the Municipal People's Hospital.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the Municipal People's Hospital, leaders from the Shazhou City health system and leaders from the People's Hospital lined up at the entrance to greet them, with police officers and traffic police on duty nearby.

After getting out of the car, Qin Feng shook hands with these people briefly and then, led by the hospital leaders, went to visit two wounded soldiers who were out of danger and in stable condition.

Television and propaganda staff were already waiting outside the ward. As soon as Qin Feng went in to visit the injured, the cameras started rolling, with some taking photos and others filming.

Standing in front of the hospital bed, Qin Feng ordered the hospital to spare no effort in treating the wounded and ensuring their speedy recovery. He also instructed relevant departments and the local government to guarantee the livelihood of the patients' families and provide logistical support.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, the camera was taken away. After offering his condolences to the patient's family again, Qin Feng left, and a large group of officials saw him off to his car.

The entire visit only lasted half an hour; it was more of a publicity stunt.

Only two people were injured, and government officials had been in charge of the matter at the hospital. It wasn't necessary for Mayor Qin Feng to come personally.

However, since the news of the fire had already spread widely, Qin Feng, as the mayor, chose to personally visit the patients at the hospital in order to deal with public opinion.

When Qin Feng left the hospital, it was past closing time and almost dark.

"Let them go back to the municipal government. It's getting late, let's go straight there," Qin Feng said to Zhang Xinming.

"Would you like Secretary-General to accompany you?" Zhang Xinming asked.

"No need, the secretary-general will be working overtime in the office tonight. You can come with me; it's just a meal." Qin Feng shook his head.

Zhang Xinming contacted Chen Guohua in the car behind, but did not tell Chen Guohua what Qin Feng was going to do. He only said that Qin Feng was going home first.

Qin Feng's car then left the convoy and headed towards Yang Yuxin's Western restaurant.

The car stopped downstairs at Yang Yuxin's Western Restaurant.

Qin Feng went there privately without notifying anyone, so there were no security personnel present.

However, when Qin Feng's car arrived downstairs at the Western restaurant, the entrance was filled with various luxury cars, including those belonging to Yang Yuxin and Yang Zhijie.

Besides that, there were many people in suits standing around, which was the only one Qin Feng could see. There were also many people in "casual clothes" wandering around the perimeter.

Seeing this, Qin Feng found it extremely ironic. He, a mayor, traveled with minimal entourage, while the gangster boss who engaged in illegal activities came out so openly and ostentatiously.
