"A conspiracy?"
Ren Qing'an gasped as he heard these two words.
Chen Fang nodded.
He said, "I've read the report from the virus research institute. This virus, although mutated from bats, as Wei Jinhai told , it's unlikely to mutate on its own. It's very likely to have been developed in a lab."
Ren Qing'an was even more shocked.
He swallowed and asked, "Are you saying that this virus outbreak was intentional?"
"Yes, although there's no conclusive evidence yet, that's my current hypothesis."
"I understand. You convened this standing committee eting to make those who oppose your city lockdown jump out, right?"
Ren Qing'an asked.
Chen Fang nodded slightly and said, "From what I observed today, Fu Zhiquan and Wang Guoxiang were the most obvious."
"You're saying that the two of them might be involved in this?"
Chen Fang said with a somber gaze, "Fu Zhiquan is the Provincial Committee secretary, and he is very keen on climbing higher. Currently, his political achievents are pretty solid, so his prospects for further advancent are good. At this juncture, he wouldn't do sothing like this; Wang Guoxiang is the sa. Although his abilities are average, his political career isn't over yet, so he wouldn't take such a risk either."
After saying that.
He paused.
And said, "Then that leaves only one person, which is Deputy Secretary Peng Qiuli. She seems to have been playing so mysterious role all along in this affair."
Chen Fang's conclusion was not without basis.
The first incident was when he t Wei Jinhai, Peng Qiuli forcefully obstructed it and also failed to deliver on her promise to help Taijiang Hospital.
In the sa incident.
Wei Jinhai tried to enter the City Committee Courtyard to report to Wang Guoxiang.
But he was blocked by security.
Afterwards, that security guard was fired upon Peng Qiuli's direct orders.
These actions were very unusual.
It seed as if she was intentionally covering sothing up.
The second incident.
Was her behavior at the eting today.
She seed to always be backing Wang Guoxiang.
But she had only just taken office, how did she beco Wang Guoxiang's front-runner?
There can only be one possibility.
That is, she has been fanning the flas and encouraging Wang Guoxiang to act.
The third point.
Concerns Peng Qiuli's background.
Before coming to Jindu City to serve as deputy secretary.
She had always worked in the health system.
Logically, she should be more sensitive to this kind of public health ergency than the average person, but she reacted very indifferently in this case.
This is abnormal.
Moreover.
Although transferring from the Health Departnt to deputy secretary isn't unprecedented.
Peng Qiuli's work capability is not particularly remarkable, so how did she manage to gain such a promotion?
Unless...
Soone powerful is pulling strings behind the scenes.
Due to her lifelong work in the health system, she would understand the entire chanism of virus transmission and would know how to allocate health resources better than most.
Conversely, she would also know how to make the virus spread more quickly.
To sum it up in one sentence—she's a professional.
Chen Fang's series of analyses.
Ren Qing'an found them reasonable.
He pondered for a mont.
And said, "If the result is as you say, I still can't understand why Peng Qiuli would do such a thing? Is she crazy?"
"The reasons for doing it can only be known after investigation, which is why I need to take leave,"
Chen Fang said.
His leave, to put it simply, was a strategic retreat.
At present, on the surface, he couldn't contend with these people, especially considering he was new and not firmly established, making it difficult to take action on many things.
After he took leave.
Whoever was behind this wouldn't see him as a threat anymore.
With open resistance gone, traces would naturally erge.
Additionally, he'd be able to do what he wanted without interference from malicious individuals.
The first thing he did back in his office.
Was to send a ssage to Gao Younan.
Asking him to investigate Peng Qiuli's background.
Once Peng Qiuli's issues were clarified, the person behind it would surface.
Of course.
At this mont, Chen Fang already had a "candidate" in mind.
He just felt it was not right to jump to conclusions.
This person was Jin Fengyulu.
Firstly, she seed to appear very abruptly.
As if out of nowhere.
After learning about her relationship with Bo'er Pharmaceutical, everything beca clear.
Secondly.
Though Bo'er Pharmaceutical is massive and operates well overseas, dostically, its products have equivalent alternatives and lack market-leading drugs.
If this virus is man-made.
Then Bo'er Pharmaceutical is very likely to introduce a dicine targeting this virus in the future.
In this way.
The amount Bo'er Pharmaceutical could earn would be imasurable.
No one has ever done such a thing.
Therefore, Chen Fang found it extrely absurd.
This is why he didn't dare to think along these lines directly.
In the early hours of the morning.
In the presidential suite of Tianhao Hotel.
Jin Fengyulu sat with her legs crossed, waiting in the dark for sothing.
She occasionally glanced at her watch.
Seemingly losing patience.
Just as she was about to get up from the sofa.
The doorbell rang.
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
And she said, "Co in."
The door opened.
A graceful woman walked in gracefully.
But because the lights weren't on, her face wasn't visible.
"You ca?"
Jin Fengyulu asked.
The woman walked up to her.
And sat down across from her.
"Smoke?"
Jin Fengyulu took out a cigarette and offered it, but the woman waved it away.
So she lit it herself.
Took a puff and exhaled a perfect smoke ring.
"You didn't even need to co over, I've already handled everything, it wouldn't make a difference whether you ca or not."
Jin Fengyulu said.
The woman might not have been able to stand the smoke.
She coughed a few tis and said, "Dad's worried. After all, you said Chen Fang was as good as dead, yet he's still fine, isn't he?"
Jin Fengyulu chuckled.
And said, "No matter what, I've made him suffer, and I've now forced him to take a leave, the result is the sa. Unlike you guys, with so many people, yet not a hair of him has been hard. How do you even have the face to ntion him to ?"
"You..."
The woman was montarily speechless.
Suppressing her anger, she said, "Dad asked to tell you, your target has beco too high-profile now, Chen Fang has his eye on you, it's ti for you to go back."
The cigarette in Jin Fengyulu's hand was just about to reach her lips.
Upon hearing this, she paused.
"What do you an? Use and discard? Burn the bridge after crossing? After I've taken care of everything, you want to kick out?"
Jin Fengyulu asked.
