Luo Fei felt relaxed at this time. Since he had made a decision, he simply let go and said to Zhao Xiaolan: "When you handle the case, you must seize the right measure and not pursue it. At the same time, you must find an opportunity to hint Ning Hailong. As long as he does not tell the source of those huge funds, as long as he does not go up, the problem will not be too serious. If you say this, Ning Hailong will understand that he knows that someone above is secretly protecting him, and he will naturally know the problem when he explains it."

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Xiaolan nodded, knowing that Luo Fei meant that he could not let Ning Hailong despair. If he felt that he had no hope and wanted to atone for his sins, then Tang Shusen might be in trouble.

Luo Fei stood up and stretched his body a few times, and suddenly asked Zhao Xiaolan again: "Didn't Lao Tang look for you in Ning Hailong's case?"

When Zhao Xiaolan heard Luo Fei ask this, he felt a little nervous and shook his head: "No, no, if Tang Shusen looked for me, why would he still ask Qin Chuan to come to you?"

Luo Fei nodded: "That's true. Actually, Lao Tang doesn't need this at all. He just asked me to tell me that it's better? Haha, this guy has learned to be polite. With our long-term friendship, there is really no need."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Xiaolan smiled and echoed while cursing in her heart, "What an old fox is just using you, not only using you, but also using your wife."

Thinking of the handle that he was being held by Tang Shusen, Zhao Xiaolan wanted to cry without tears, so she could only knock her teeth down and swallow it. Alas, it was all my fault that she didn't control the two pieces below.

After a while, Qin Chuan came back, nodded to Luo Fei, and signaled that he had finished replying to Chu Heng.

Luo Fei said to Zhao Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, you go upstairs and rest, I will chat with Lao Qin for a while."

Zhao Xiaolan knew that they were going to talk about other topics, so she smiled at Qin Chuan and went upstairs.

Luo Fei and Qin Chuan sat face to face, Luo Fei looked at Qin Chuan: "Old Qin, what do you think about the recent situation?"

Qin Chuan knew that Luo Fei’s recent situation was referring to the internal affairs of the Standing Committee, and said for a moment of silence: “Do you know that Mayor Luo and Secretary An met with Wu Huiwen secretly?”

"Oh..." Luo Fei was a little surprised and shook his head, "When did it happen? Where did you meet?"

"Just the day before the city-wide cadre conference, Secretary An took Qiao Liang to Guanzhou and met Wu Huiwen secretly at a resort outside Guanzhou."

"How did you know?"

"Deng Jun told me."

"How did Deng Jun know?"

"When Deng Jun was in charge of the administrative logistics of the office, Secretary An's driver Zhao Qiang asked him to sign the reimbursement documents for business trips, Deng Jun accidentally discovered that there were round-trip highway charging certificates from Jiangzhou to Guanzhou, so he told me quietly."

Luo Fei frowned: "Then how did you know that Lao An went to Guanzhou to find Wu Huiwen?"

Qin Chuan said: "After Deng Jun told me about this, I subconsciously became a little sensitive, so I called Wu Huiwen's secretary. Wu Huiwen's secretary first worked in the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department and was my old subordinate. Later, he was transferred to the Municipal Party Committee Office.

He told me that Wu Huiwen went directly to the resort in the suburbs that night, and did not ask him to follow him. The driver sent Wu Huiwen and came back directly. The next morning, when he took the car to pick up Wu Huiwen, he found that Wu Huiwen was seeing An Zhe off, and Qiao Liang followed him..."

Luo Fei nodded, lit a cigarette and took a few breaths, and said in silence for a while: "Why did Lao An suddenly come and go to Guanzhou to meet Wu Huiwen at this time?"

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes: "I think there are just a few possibilities."

"Tell me." Luo Fei looked at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan said in an orderly manner: "First, at the Standing Committee that time, you and Secretary An had different opinions on the rectification of the city appearance. He seemed to be very sensitive to this matter. This time he went to Guanzhou to meet Wu Huiwen, maybe he wanted to ask Wu Huiwen about the arrangements for Zheng Shidong to carry out the rectification plan for the city appearance, and to find out the causes and consequences of the matter."

Luo Fei nodded: "Yes, keep talking."

"Secondly, out of your subtle relationship with you, Secretary An may ask Wu Huiwen about your reputation when he was the mayor of Guanzhou, and I want to gain some understanding of you."

Luo Fei blinked: "Is there any more?"

"And it's also-" Qin Chuan approached Luo Fei, "Based on the subtle situation within the Standing Committee, Secretary An may want to inquire about the specific situation of the existing Standing Committee from Wu Huiwen, including the internal vertical and horizontal relationships, as well as the distribution of power in the Jiangzhou officialdom. After all, Wu Huiwen has been in Jiangzhou for many years and has known a lot about these."

Luo Fei frowned: "It seems that Lao An and Wu Huiwen's personal relationship is good."

"Yes, as far as I understand, they were classmates in the Party School’s cadre training class many years ago." Qin Chuan said.

"So that's it." Luo Fei nodded, "According to your analysis, Lao An went to Wu Huiwen specifically at this time to explain what the Standing Committee made him feel."

"Yes." Qin Chuan nodded, "You should also feel that Secretary An's style of conduct after he arrived in Jiangzhou. He wanted to control absolute power, but at that Standing Committee meeting, he clearly felt the tactful challenge from you, and at the same time he realized the different positions of the Standing Committee members, which seemed to make him subconsciously alert."

Luo Fei pondered: "At that Standing Committee meeting, you remained neutral and did not show any obvious tendency towards me. After all, your identity is there."

"Thank you, Mayor Luo, for understanding."

Luo Fei continued: "But despite this, Lao An may not trust you very much. After all, you and I both came from Guanzhou, so he should know that you and I had a good relationship before."

Qin Chuan nodded: "This is impossible. Even if Secretary An knows this, he understands that this is an unchangeable fact. I can only try my best to perform well in front of him, try to prevent him from getting any handle, and try to reduce his suspicion about me."

Luo Fei nodded: "Old Qin, look, the current member of the Standing Committee seems to be divided into three forces now, one is me, you, Lao Tang and Chu Heng, one is Lao An and Xu Honggang, and the other is Zheng Shidong, Chen Ziyu and Feng Yunming."

"Yes, at present, our power is the greatest, you are our leader." Qin Chuan said.

"Even so, I am not the top leader." Luo Fei sighed slightly.

"Don't worry, sooner or later you will be." Qin Chuan comforted Luo Fei.

Luo Fei took another puff of cigarette: "Although Xu Honggang and Lao An had a little dissatisfaction before, it seems that they have reconciled now, and Xu Honggang seems to be firmly following Lao An's pace."

"Yes, Xu Honggang has no foundation in Jiangzhou, and Secretary An is the same. Under the current circumstances, it is also driven by interests and forced by the situation."

"In this case, Xu Honggang seems to be a nail placed under my nose by Lao An."

"We are not me?" Qin Chuan said meaningfully.
