"You're suddenly backing out now?"
Ouyang Jing became agitated: "Is that not allowed? I've been arrested by Hou Liangping, and I've thought about it a lot."
"Why should I get a divorce? So you can live a carefree and promiscuous life."
Upon hearing this, Li Dakang was furious but laughed: "Me (bjah) a womanizer? I'm busy to death every day, worrying myself sick over the development of Jingzhou City."
“I don’t smoke or drink. I go straight home after work and give you all my salary and bonuses.”
My cousin Xingzhi came out of the kitchen carrying two cups of chrysanthemum tea.
"Sister-in-law, calm down. You're a married couple, you'll make up after a fight."
Ouyang Jing and Li Dakang asked in unison, as if they were on the same wavelength: "Who slept with him (or her)?"
"Anyway, I've made up my mind. I'm not going abroad anymore. I'll quit my job and stay home with you."
“I’m not going anywhere, Li Dakang. Don’t even think about getting rid of me.”
"I'm going to stick with you for the rest of my life."
After saying this, Ouyang Jing turned and went upstairs.
Li Dakang was furious and roared, "Ouyang Jing! You're going to drive me crazy!"
. . . . .
Five days later, Lin Yunfei was discharged from the hospital.
The president of the Provincial People's Hospital, along with the heads of various departments, personally came to the entrance to see them off.
"Mayor Lin, I wish you continued success in your career."
"Take these anti-inflammatory medications as prescribed when you get home."
The dean personally took the medicine and placed it in Lin Yunfei's Land Rover.
Lin Yunfei smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you all for your concern. I will definitely pay attention."
"Dean Wang, the medical expenses. I'll have the Municipal Bureau handle it tomorrow..."
"No, really no need."
"Mayor Lin, as a leader, you are entitled to provincial medical insurance, which reimburses 95% of your expenses."
"There's still 5% left. All the departments in our hospital are voluntarily donating to you," Dean Wang quickly said, with a fawning smile on his face.
He sat in the car, looking out the window at the crowd who were seeing him off so warmly, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
This kidnapping incident left him physically and mentally exhausted, and gave him a profound experience of the coldness and warmth of human relationships.
This made him realize even more the importance of power and status in critical moments.
Zhao Lan gripped the steering wheel tightly, her mood light and cheerful. A slight smirk played on her lips.
"Yunfei, let's go home first. Don't go to work yet."
"What's going on? That old bastard Chen Yanshi is causing trouble at the Municipal Public Security Bureau again?"
Lin Yunfei sat in the passenger seat, wearing a seatbelt.
Zhao Lan smiled and said, "You guessed it right."
"This old guy came to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and made a scene, demanding to see you. He even said that the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau was only going through the motions in the anti-prostitution campaign."
"The crackdown on prostitution at Shanshui Manor is perfectly legitimate."
"What's next?" Lin Yunfei asked slowly, a mocking smile on his face.
"Political Commissar Luo ignored him completely and ordered everyone to disregard Chen Yanshi."
"In the end, feeling awkward, he left."
Lin Yunfei knew that although he had a powerful background, he still needed to be calm and cautious if he wanted to gain a foothold in the system.
After all, it’s better to sail with caution.
After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Yunfei returned to his villa in Emperor Garden.
He stood on the balcony, took a deep breath of fresh air, and gazed into the distance, taking in the bustling cityscape of Jingzhou.
He pondered to himself that this incident had made him understand the rules of the power game even more clearly.
On the surface, he was the victim, held hostage by employees of Dafeng Factory and nearly lost his life.
But in reality, the power struggle behind this incident is far more complex than imagined.
Gao Yuliang, Governor Liu, Sha Ruijin... these names swirled in his mind.
He knew that as the newly appointed deputy mayor of Jingzhou City, he had to find a foothold in this game.
In this circle, only by constantly moving upwards can one ensure their safety.
With that thought in mind, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, is this Hou Liangping? This is Lin Yunfei, I'd like to meet with you."
Hou Liangping's voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with a hint of wariness.
"Mayor Lin, is there anything I can help you with? I'm very busy right now."
81. Liu Cheng was promoted to the vice-national level, and Zhao Anbang was parachuted in.
81. Liu Cheng was promoted to the vice-national level, and Zhao Anbang was parachuted in.
"Mayor Lin, I'm very busy right now. Cai Chenggong's case is taking a toll on me." Hou Liangping said this on purpose, sensing something was amiss.
Lin Yunfei gave a mocking smile: "Young comrade, don't try to take credit for something that isn't yours."
"This is Handong, and the waters run particularly deep here. A corrupt anti-corruption bureau chief like you is nothing more than a knife to some people."
Lin Yunfei's words were clearly telling Hou Liangping that this political vortex was not something Hou Liangping could interfere with.
After hearing these words, Hou Liangping frowned and remained silent: "-..."
Lin Yunfei hung up the phone without hesitation.
Zhao Lan walked over, holding a casual denim jacket, and draped it over Lin Yunfei's shoulders.
"Yunfei, who are you dealing with? It's not your childhood friend, is it?" Zhao Lan asked with a curious gaze and a soft voice.
Lin Yunfei turned around, took Zhao Lan's soft hand in his, and comforted her, "No, Lanlan. It's that Zhong Changxin Marquis."
"Marquis Changxin? Oh... Zhong Xiaoai's husband, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau." Zhao Lan's eyes lit up immediately, and she dragged out the last syllable.
"What? You want to cooperate with the Zhong family?" Zhao Lan still had political acumen.
"How could that be, Lanlan?"
"The Zhong family doesn't deserve it, and they don't even deserve it."
"The basis for cooperation is equality between the two parties," Lin Yunfei said slowly and in a deep voice.
"Hou Liangping has now become a weapon for Sha Ruijin. Of course, he can also become a weapon for us."
After saying this, Zhao Lan seemed to be deep in thought.
Ring ring! At that moment, Lin Yunfei's phone rang.
Zhao Mengsheng called and told him, "Yunfei, your Uncle Liu is coming up to the central stage, to the 24-meter platform... the spot where you're clapping."
"This is wonderful news! Uncle Liu is blessed with good fortune!" Lin Yunfei couldn't help but smile, offering his sincere congratulations.
"The position of governor of Handong Province is now vacant."
"Your grandfather and I discussed it and decided to transfer him to a similar position."
"Who is this person?" Lin Yunfei couldn't help but feel curious, so he turned on speakerphone so that Zhao Lan could hear it too.
Zhao Mengsheng said in a deep voice, "He also has the surname Zhao, and he is my distant cousin. His name is Zhao Anbang, and he used to be the governor of Hanjiang Province."
Zhao Anbang? He's not a character in "Who Rules the World".
Zhao Landai frowned slightly: "Dad, Uncle Anbang, do you have the ability? Handong is not peaceful right now."
“Sha Ruijin was parachuted in and immediately tried to win over Li Dakang.”
Zhao Mengsheng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: "Lanlan, you're here too?"
"I'll just say it."
"Your Uncle Anbang understands economics, markets, and capital operations. He is upright and incorruptible. He has developed Hanjiang Province into one of the top five economic provinces in the country."
"This time, he was transferred to Handong to take over Lao Liu's political legacy in full."
Zhao Mengsheng's words clearly meant that Zhao Anbang would take over the position of the person promoted by Liu Cheng.
"There's one more thing. This time, not only Zhao Anbang, but also Zhang Fang are being parachuted in."
"Zhang Fang?" Lin Yunfei was taken aback, recalling the plot.
This person seems to be a character from "In the Name of the Law".
“That’s right. Zhang Fang used to be your father Lin Hu’s administrative secretary. Later, he was sent down to the grassroots level to gain experience and has been working in the political and legal system ever since.”
"Zhang Fang will serve as the president of the Handong Provincial Higher People's Court this time."
"The rank is deputy provincial level."
"In other words, Yunfei, you can contact Zhang Fang more often and visit him more frequently," Zhao Mengsheng said slowly, giving him a deep and earnest instruction.
Lin Yunfei nodded: "I understand, Dad."
He knew in his heart that Zhao Mengsheng had sent Zhang Fang to Handong to protect him.
Zhao Anbang's sudden arrival directly blocked Li Dakang's path to advancement.
. . . . .
It's virtually impossible for Li Dakang to advance further and become the governor of Handong Province.
Lin Yunfei pondered for a moment and asked, "Dad, now that Zhao Xiaohui has dealt with Liu Xinjian, he was Zhao Ruilong's front man."
"That's normal. Zhao Lichun is a very cautious person. He won't leave too much evidence against him."
"The only weaknesses are Liu Xinjian and the traitor Ding Yizhen."
