"If you want to see others, it's not a big problem. But if you want to see Chen Feng, I'm afraid it's highly unlikely. You and I both know that although Chen Feng is just a bureau chief, he is no ordinary person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used the influence of the provincial capital's top official, Elder Xiang, to have you arrested. You are my superior, and your cousin is the second-in-command in the provincial capital. Without Elder Xiang's approval, how could I have listened to Director Chen and arrested you? Since Chen Feng has a powerful background, it's certainly not someone you can just meet if you want to."
Wang Tong said with a serious expression.
"Wang Tong, you're absolutely right. Chen Feng is indeed extraordinary. Otherwise, my elder brother and I wouldn't have fallen into his hands. But it's okay. Just tell Chen Feng that I have a shocking secret about him and Elder Xiang. He will definitely see me."
Wu Yiming said calmly.
Before dying, he had no other requests, only to meet Chen Feng.
At this point, only Chen Feng could fulfill his last wish before death.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tong did not dare to delay and relayed Wu Yiming's words to Chen Feng immediately.
Just as Wu Yiming had predicted, Chen Feng personally went to the police station to see Wu Yiming.
"Speak. What shocking secret do you know about me and Xiang Wentian? As long as what you say makes sense, I promise to fulfill your last wish before you die."
Chen Feng asked directly.
"Chen Feng, you're so straightforward, so I'll be too. Xiang Wentian is not a good person. You should guard against him."
Wu Yiming said cautiously.
"Continue."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Chen Feng, do you really believe what I'm saying? You have a good relationship with Xiang Wentian, so you should trust him, not me."
Wu Yiming stared intently at Chen Feng.
"You don't need to delve into that. I know who to trust and who not to. Just tell me truthfully what shocking secret there is between Xiang Wentian and me."
Chen Feng said solemnly.
"Are you sure you can guarantee to fulfill my last wish?"
Wu Yiming asked tentatively.
"You want to leave half of your property to your illegitimate son, right? You don't trust others and fear they'll abscond with your money, which is why you've set your sights on me. I've got you, but you know I don't covet ill-gotten gains. With half your property passing through my hands, you can rest assured!"
Chen Feng got straight to the point and explained.
"Chen Feng, I truly admire you now. You are not only decisive and have a deep background, but your thinking is also incredibly meticulous, reaching the depths of people's hearts! Losing to you is not shameful. I won't beat around the bush. The shocking secret between you and Xiang Wentian is that Xiang Wentian intends to use you as a scapegoat so he can transfer to the capital."
Wu Yiming explained word by word.
"Interesting. Continue."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Probably next week. Xiang Wentian will definitely have you appear to sell all the closed mines in Wuzhou District to foreign investors. They say that someone discovered a massive rare earth deposit in the sealed mining areas of Wuzhou District, so foreign investors are willing to pay a huge sum to purchase it. Xiang Wentian will use this massive sum to develop the provincial capital's economy, and then use this achievement to transfer to the capital. After Xiang Wentian transfers to the provincial capital, you will be made a scapegoat and sentenced to death. The reason will be that selling large rare earth mines to foreign investors severely endangers national security."
Wu Yiming explained word by word.
"Wu Yiming, you can leave here now. Take your wife and children and never return to China. However, you must leave three-quarters of your money for the families of the victims from these years."
Chen Feng continued calmly.
"Chen Feng, are you joking with me?"
"No."
"But the problem is, I'm a major underworld protection umbrella. I'm surely going to die, my crimes are unforgivable."
Wu Yiming asked with confusion.
At the same time, his heart was pounding uncontrollably.
That's how people are; even with a sliver of hope, they become excited.
"With my connections, I can let you go. This is the political arena. Forcing your way through transcends imagination. Of course, the reason I've decided to let you go is not because I'm acting recklessly. It's because you've given me very useful information. Secondly, you won't die, but compensating the victims with money is acceptable. Alright, hurry up and leave. If you're late, even if I want to let you go, I won't be able to."
Chen Feng said coldly.
Before, he had heard that the political arena was fraught with danger, but he hadn't truly believed it. Now, he understood deeply.
He had always had a good relationship with Xiang Wentian.
Who would have thought that Xiang Wentian would turn his back on him so suddenly?
And it wasn't just a casual turn; he was trying to ruin him completely.
The political arena, indeed, was heartless and bloody.
If he hadn't learned of this by chance, he might have been ruined by Xiang Wentian.
One perilous step after another!
He had originally thought that their falling out would happen more than ten years later, when his actions threatened Xiang Wentian's interests.
Who would have thought that Xiang Wentian would be so impatient to cast him aside as a scapegoat?
Since Xiang Wentian didn't play by the rules, then he was sorry, but he had to treat Xiang Wentian as he treated others.
Xiang Wentian wanted to use the rare earth mines to transfer to the capital and have him die as a scapegoat?
Fine, then he would use the rare earth mines to make Xiang Wentian die.
Since the second-in-command of the provincial capital was already dead, it didn't matter if another provincial capital's first-in-command died.
As soon as he thought of it, Chen Feng went to find another second-in-command in the provincial capital, Miao Qifeng.
In the provincial capital's political arena, there was one top leader and more than ten second-in-command officials.
Among these more than ten second-in-command officials, Miao Qifeng had the most power to bring down Xiang Wentian.
"Chen Feng, did I hear you correctly? You want to assist me in bringing down Xiang Wentian?"
Miao Qifeng looked at Chen Feng with curiosity.
"Is there a problem?"
Chen Feng replied, his face neither red nor pale.
"Of course, there's a problem. Everyone knows that Xiang Wentian is your patron. You've had a good relationship for many years, and now you come to me saying you want to help me bring him down? Do you think I'll fall for your trick?"
Miao Qifeng said with a cold, disdainful expression.
"Don't you want to take his place?"
"I do want to take his place, but I don't trust you."
"Elder Miao, I don't blame you for having such thoughts. To be honest, not only do I not believe Xiang Wentian betrayed me, but I don't even believe it myself. The political arena is about mutual utilization and coexistence, but suddenly, he wants you dead. This kind of naked exploitation and abandonment is truly unbearable. However, no matter how unbearable it is, it's the truth and must be accepted."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"You mean Xiang Wentian plans to use you as a scapegoat? That's impossible, isn't it? You are the political rising star that Xiang Wentian has always favored."
Miao Qifeng said in astonishment.
"The political arena only cares about benefits, never about feelings. Xiang Wentian does indeed appreciate my abilities. But if he finds that sacrificing me will allow him to transfer directly to the capital, he will sacrifice me without hesitation."
"Tell me, how does Xiang Wentian plan to sacrifice you?"
Miao Qifeng asked with curiosity.
Chen Feng calmly recounted the Wuzhou District rare earth mine conspiracy to Miao Qifeng, word for word.
"Holy hell, Xiang Wentian is really ruthless and cold-blooded. Without even batting an eye, he's pushing you out as a scapegoat."
Miao Qifeng exclaimed.
"Elder Miao, would you like to cooperate?"
Chen Feng asked opportunistically.
"You are only the head of the Wuzhou District Development and Reform Bureau. What qualifications do you have to talk about cooperation with me?"
Miao Qifeng asked deliberately.
"My power is not great, but Xiang Wentian still wants to use me. With just this, our cooperation can absolutely bring down Xiang Wentian. Of course, if you don't want to bring down Xiang Wentian, it's fine too. At worst, I'll leave the political arena. With my intelligence, I can live a stable life without any problems!"
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Then tell me, how specifically should we cooperate?"
Miao Qifeng said excitedly.
