369: Chapter 369: Feng Jiang Requests an Audience!
Xu Qianli left Lan Qianrong’s office, whistling as he strolled through the County Governnt offices.
People who were sharp-eyed were nurous, and soon soone spotted him and quickly approached with a smile to greet him.
Xu Qianli was well aware that the attitudes of these people were a weathervane of Jiang City’s officialdom power dynamics.
Whoever was powerful, those old colleagues would smile at.
Xu Qianli had deeply experienced being suppressed by Zhang Kuisan before.
Not wanting to waste ti on these wares, Xu Qianli quickly arrived at Sun Yan’s office.
Sun Yan looked radiant, her complexion couldn’t have been better.
She was about to be promoted to Deputy County Magistrate, which was virtually set in stone.
Her mood was excellent, truly on cloud nine.
Seeing Xu Qianli arrive, her gaze beca incredibly tender, filled with emotion, which made Xu Qianli itch with desire.
Had he not just had a crazy ti with Lan Qianrong, he really would have taken Sun Yan right there.
Sun Yan invited Xu Qianli to sit on the sofa, poured him a cup of water, then sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and cooed, “Thank you.”
Xu Qianli hugged Sun Yan’s slim waist and pinched it, “We’re all family, what’s there to thank for?
Tsk tsk, such a nice feel, Sun Yan, your waist is superb, not even worse than an eighteen-year-old girl’s.”
Sun Yan pouted, “Yo, are you saying I’m old?”
“Not at all, nothing of the sort, I an your figure is superb.”
“That beautiful Deputy County Magistrate will soon beco the most stunning sight in Jiang City’s officialdom.”
“What if soone cos along to compete with , what if I get jealous?”
“After all, such a beautiful person, other n aren’t blind, there will definitely be a few who jump out.”
Xu Qianli feigned nervousness while saying this, making Sun Yan giggle continuously, poking at his heart, “Alright, I promise you, only you can touch , okay?
Don’t just say sweet nothings to cheer up, let’s talk business, I’m about to beco a Deputy, and next year during the re-election, do I have a chance to be promoted to County Magistrate?”
Being in the bureaucratic field, Sun Yan naturally thought about advancent.
Being able to beco a Deputy County Magistrate was indeed a good thing, but what attracted her more was the re-election next year.
Next year was an election year, and Jiang City’s County Party Secretary Ge Changhong was bound to step down.
Once Ge Changhong stepped down, Lan Qianrong was very likely to take over the role of County Party Secretary, consequently vacating the County Magistrate position.
Originally, Sun Yan had no hope or qualifications to contend for it, but now it was different.
She was about to be promoted to Deputy County Magistrate, qualifying her to vie for the new County Magistrate’s throne.
But getting that position wasn’t easy; after all, a lot of people were eyeing it.
She was well aware that relying solely on her abilities was not going to cut it, Xu Qianli had to make a move.
Sun Yan made her intentions clear, and Xu Qianli was straightforward in his response.
“Sun Yan, rest assured, if it cos to that, I will definitely support you fully and help you fight for it.”
“However, planning is up to us, and achievent is up to heaven.
At that ti, nobody knows exactly what will happen, and what the end result will be is still unpredictable.”
“If I can’t fight for it, don’t bla .”
Upon hearing this, Sun Yan imdiately showed a smile, “With your words, I’m satisfied.”
Suddenly, Xu Qianli grinned mischievously, took Sun Yan’s hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, “You may be satisfied, but I’m not.
How about I co over to your place tonight?”
“Tonight?”
Sun Yan quickly shook her head.
“No, tonight won’t work.
My parents and relatives heard that I was going to be promoted to Deputy County Magistrate, and insisted on coming over to celebrate.
They’ll arrive this afternoon, and I need to spend the evening with them.”
At that mont, Xu Qianli’s phone rang, a call from Wu Kai.
Sun Yan wasn’t an outsider, so Xu Qianli pressed the answer button, “Hello, Kai, what’s up?”
“Bro, I need your help with sothing urgent.”
“Rember we arrested Feng Jiang recently?
We discovered several major cases through the investigation, but that bastard has stubbornly refused to disclose where the illicit money is.”
“Today he finally opened up, saying that he would reveal where the money is hidden only if you co to see him.”
“With tens of billions involved, it’s no small matter.
Could you co to the station right away?”
What, to go myself just to get him to reveal where the money is?
Xu Qianli wondered to himself what this had to do with him, what was Feng Jiang playing at?
Regardless of Feng Jiang’s intentions, it was Wu Kai who had asked for the favor, so Xu Qianli imdiately agreed.
He arranged another ti to celebrate with Sun Yan and left the County Governnt for the County Public Security Bureau.
When he arrived, Wu Kai was waiting at the entrance, “Man, you got here quickly.”
Xu Qianli took out a cigarette, offered one to Wu Kai, and lit one for himself.
“You called , how could I not hurry?
Tell what’s going on.
Why does he insist on seeing before he’ll talk?
It’s not a trap, is it?”
“Co on, man.
Look at him now, in handcuffs and leg irons.
What can he do, bite you?”
“I think he knows you’re a powerful figure in Jiang City now, and wants to et you to beg for rcy, to let him off, at least to give him a way out.”
“With what he’s already confessed to, execution would be enough, but if you step in and he contributes to the case, maybe he could get a suspended sentence, and with good behavior, might even reduce it to life imprisonnt.”
“I know these types very well.
They are brazen and lawless when they have money and power behind them, daring to do anything.”
“Once they’re caught, they turn into cowards, willing to do anything to save their skin.”
“This ti he’s definitely begging you, hoping you’ll help him get a way out.”
Wu Kai shared his thoughts, believing that despite Feng Jiang being caged, with no ability to plot against others.
Xu Qianli replied, “That’s possible, but we won’t know what he really wants until I see him.
Where is he?
Take to him.”
“Alright, follow .”
Wu Kai led Xu Qianli into the office building, and soon into a temporary detention room.
The room was rectangular, without windows, divided in the middle by an iron fence, with only one door for entry and exit.
The once glorious and well-known big boss of Zhongzhou City, Feng Jiang, now bald and dressed in prison clothes, wearing handcuffs and leg irons, stood on the other side of the fence.
He had been waiting anxiously, and his eyes lit up upon seeing Xu Qianli, “You’re here, you finally ca!”
Xu Qianli looked Feng Jiang up and down through the fence, barely recognizing him, noting the dramatic change since his capture.
Xu Qianli got straight to the point, “My ti is valuable, so let’s skip the small talk.
Directly tell why you asked to co here, what’s your real purpose?”
Feng Jiang’s gaze shifted towards Wu Kai.
“Captain Wu, could you allow to talk to Secretary Xu alone?”
