Chen Fang guessed correctly.
He had just hung up the phone with Li Chong.
At Cloud Lake Manor, Fang Rao hurriedly pushed open Lv Feng's bedroom door.
On the bed, Lv Feng was sleeping soundly.
Two bodies lay entwined beside him, and it was clear that the past few hours had been quite a battle for the three of them.
The noise of Fang Rao opening the door jolted the three awake.
The two won looked up.
Fang Rao said coldly, "Get out!"
Without any hesitation, the two won quickly got out of bed, naked, and grabbed their clothes from the floor before rushing out the door.
Lv Feng lazily lay back down.
He asked, "What ti is it?"
Fang Rao leaned in close to him and whispered, "Li Chong just sent a ssage; Chen Fang is ready to move, he's seen through our plan."
Lv Feng's sleepy eyes.
Suddenly widened.
He sat up abruptly, exclaiming, "What did you say?"
Fang Rao nodded affirmatively, leaned to his ear, and whispered sothing.
Lv Feng took a sharp breath and said, "I really underestimated Chen Fang. Our plan was so perfect, yet he managed to notice sothing. Unbelievable, really unbelievable..."
"So what should we do next?"
Fang Rao asked.
Lv Feng thought for a mont and asked, "Since he hasn't reported to the higher-ups, he probably doesn't know how many cards we hold..."
After saying this,
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, saying, "Since he's planning to move in eight hours, we will catch them off guard. Notify everyone now: Pea Plan to be executed in one hour..."
"What about the higher-ups?"
"Sa ti, we'll start synchronously. Also, make sure iyana is ready; once things are done, they'll need to coordinate the dia narrative!"
Lv Feng said coldly.
Fang Rao nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll issue the orders now."
The ti then.
Was eight in the morning.
One hour later, at nine o'clock sharp.
Coincidentally, both Lv Feng and Chen Fang moved their schedules forward, aiming to act at nine in the morning.
In the historic city of Jiangkou, locals continued their routine of going to work as usual; traffic busily flowed through the streets with lively back-and-forth.
No one knew.
A political storm that would affect decades to co had already begun behind the scenes.
At eight forty-five in the morning.
Chen Fang walked into the Provincial Committee Mansion.
Just like usual.
This was just the right ti for the start of the workday.
There were quite a few people coming and going.
Those passing by would greet him, calling out, "Hello, Governor Chen."
Chen Fang responded with a smile, one by one.
"Governor Chen, you're here?"
At so uncertain ti, Sun Dongning's secretary Lin Yiliang suddenly appeared at the entrance, saw Chen Fang, and hurried forward to et him.
"Secretary Lin, it's you? Is there sothing going on?"
Chen Fang asked.
Lin Yiliang said with a cheerful grin, "Governor Chen, Secretary Sun wants to discuss sothing important with you and asks you to go to his office. He's waiting for you."
"Oh, okay, I'll head to my office and then go over shortly."
Chen Fang raised his bag, indicating he needed to put it away.
Unexpectedly.
Lin Yiliang took hold of his bag, saying, "Governor Chen, Secretary Sun said it's urgent, and asked to bring you over as soon as I saw you. I'll carry your bag."
Such strange behavior.
Made Chen Fang's heart skip a beat.
However, he didn't show it.
He pretended to think for a mont and said, "Well then, since it's so urgent, I'll go now."
On the way to the office of Secretary Sun.
Chen Fang's mood was apprehensive.
But the situation had already reached this point, turning back was definitely too late. No matter what he was about to face, he could only brace himself to confront it.
Knock, knock, knock.
Lin Yiliang knocked on Sun Dongning's office door.
A voice inside called out, "Enter."
Lin Yiliang opened the door.
He imdiately saw Sun Dongning sitting on the sofa, leisurely making tea. He looked up, saw Chen Fang, and imdiately stood up with a broad smile, taking Chen Fang's hand, saying, "Ah, Governor Chen, please, co in."
Before sitting down.
Chen Fang's gaze swept around the office.
He saw nothing amiss.
"Secretary Sun, what was so urgent that you needed to see ?"
Chen Fang respectfully asked.
Sun Dongning didn't answer right away; instead, he focused on brewing tea. Once the tea was ready, he pushed a cup toward Chen Fang, saying, "Governor Chen, have so tea. It's good tea sent to by a friend from Yong'an Province; I don't know much about it, so you can help judge its taste."
"Did Secretary Sun call here just for tea?"
Chen Fang asked, slightly stunned.
Sun Dongning chuckled, saying, "No, no, there's sothing important to discuss with Governor Chen. Have you heard of soone nad Charlie Brown?"
Charlie Brown?
The mont Sun Dongning ntioned the na.
Chen Fang's heart tightened instantly.
He could already sense the tension in the air.
Taking a deep breath, he nodded and said, "I've heard of him, but don't know much."
"Governor Chen is being modest. As far as I know, you're quite familiar with Charlie Brown. I called you here to ask, what are your plans concerning the Charlie Brown matter?"
"I don't quite understand Secretary Sun's aning."
"Hahaha..."
Sun Dongning suddenly burst into laughter.
He said, "Governor Chen, I've heard you're a straightforward person. Let's not mince words or beat around the bush—what can I offer you to drop the investigation into the Charlie Brown case?"
The stakes revealed.
Even Chen Fang hadn't expected.
Sun Dongning to get straight to the point.
This showed, then and there, he needed no pretense or cover.
Given that,
He had nothing to hide either.
Crossing his legs, he paused for a mont and said, "Secretary Sun needn't worry, I, Chen Fang, lack nothing, so naturally, I require nothing. If you're asking what must be done for to stop investigating Charlie Brown, it's simple: either have the Disciplinary Committee investigate, or Secretary Sun turns himself in. The law applies equally; I'm sure Secretary Sun understands this, right?"
"How righteous, equal under the law. Governor Chen, have you watched too many movies or read too many novels? Sotis, I wonder how you managed to climb to your position. Do you genuinely believe there's real equality in this world?"
Sun Dongning mockingly asked.
Chen Fang retorted, "And you truly believe there isn't?"
"Certainly not, there never was. What is your status? What qualifies you to stand equal with ? Throughout your rise, without encountering a few patrons, would you be where you are today? Is this the equality you speak of?"
Sun Dongning scoffed with a cold snort.
