Wu Tianhong is the second-in-command in the provincial capital, that's true. But power doesn't mean no one wants him dead. Let's put it this way: politics is bloody. Wu Tianhong has connections, and they won't be able to touch him anytime soon. So, he'll be in his second-in-command position for a long time. Holding such an important position for so long clearly blocks those below who want to move up. Over time, naturally, people will want him dead. If he dies, the position will become vacant. This time, I have evidence of Wu Tianhong colluding with the criminal organization Hu Brothers Group. If I can ally with those who want him dead, Wu Tianhong won't escape his fate.
Chen Feng said with a firm expression.
You can do that?
Zhao Hongyan was stunned.
Of course, it's like Chinese Tai Chi. You use four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds. My power is indeed less than Wu Tianhong's, but I can borrow strength to attack, use others to kill, and deal with Wu Tianhong.
Chen Feng replied calmly.
Husband, can I understand this as, since you have a way to deal with Wu Tianhong, you can curry favor with him?
Zhao Hongyan asked curiously.
Theoretically, yes.
Chen Feng said with a smile.
Actually, he doesn't need to curry favor with Wu Tianhong; it's Wu Tianhong who needs to curry favor with him.
If Wu Tianhong wants to gain favor with the Wang family in the capital, he will definitely try to curry favor with Chen Feng because Chen Feng has a very good relationship with Wang Ziwei.
Husband, to be honest, although Wu Tianhong is bad, his power is really immense. If you can curry favor with Wu Tianhong, your promotion in the political arena will be like taking a plane. A meteoric rise in promotion, don't you want that?
Zhao Hongyan looked at Chen Feng curiously.
Miss Hongyan, if I said I don't want to be promoted in the political arena, it would be a lie. No one in the political arena can resist the temptation of promotion. To tell you the truth, I've done many disgraceful things to get promoted. But the problem is, I have principles. For political gain, I can lower my bottom line significantly, but I cannot be without a bottom line!
Chen Feng explained firmly.
Husband, can I understand this as, for the sake of ordinary people who have nothing to do with you, you would rather not be promoted, or even risk your life?
Zhao Hongyan continued to look at Chen Feng curiously.
This man in front of her was very familiar, yet very strange.
You can understand it that way.
Chen Feng nodded with a smile.
Husband, since that's what you think and what you do, what is your purpose in entering the political arena? Throughout history, who enters the political arena without seeking wealth? China's official-centric culture, from ancient times to the present, is the most severe in the world. There's a story in China that perfectly explains this. Fan Jin passing the imperial examination, you must know about it, right? To obtain official status, Fan Jin kept taking the exams until he was over sixty. What supported a person, from youth to old age, if not the official-centric culture? Did Fan Jin seek his official status for the benefit of the common people? Obviously not; he was simply fantasizing about entering the political arena, amassing vast wealth, and living a life of luxury. To enter the political arena, Fan Jin not only studied from youth to old age but also almost went mad. You, on the other hand, have already entered the political arena and possess remarkable talent for it. You could have been promoted like taking a plane, yet you deliberately chose not to. Therefore, I am truly curious, what is your ultimate goal in entering the political arena?
Zhao Hongyan asked with confusion.
Miss Hongyan, I won't hide anything from you. In fact, when I first entered the political arena, when I was a driver for the deputy town head, I didn't have this idea. I just wanted a stable job. If I could make a name for myself, that would be even better. To be honest, I didn't think about embezzling the money of the rich then, nor did I have such vague ideas of taking the world as my responsibility. I thought, the salary in politics, plus the excellent social insurance and housing fund, could allow me to live a comfortable life forever. However, as I delved deeper into the political arena, I discovered that China's political arena is rotten to the core. No matter how well China's economy develops, the common people ultimately still live difficult lives, while the rich live in extreme luxury. The poor can't afford to drink milk tea every day; drinking milk tea is a luxury for them. As for the rich, a box of top-tier caviar costs hundreds of thousands, and they finish it in one or two bites. Such a political arena is not the best in the world. Laborers create most of the material products, but in the end, these scumbags occupy most of it. Therefore, I began to conceive the idea of changing this rotten Chinese political arena. I know this path is very difficult. To go from being a town leader's driver to a high-ranking official in China's political arena will undoubtedly take decades of hard work. But I don't regret it.
Chen Feng explained with determination.
Zhao Hongyan was once again convinced.
My heavens, she had actually met a great figure that appears only once in several hundred years in China.
To be honest, Chen Feng's idea was absolutely astounding, appearing only once in several hundred years.
Simply put, Chen Feng was a great and pure person.
To be honest, she couldn't achieve this level.
Even a highly enlightened monk couldn't achieve this.
Husband, you can go to the provincial capital with peace of mind. I will manage the affairs of Wuzhou District with my father, Qin Yan, and Cheng Lu. Our abilities are limited, and we can't help you much. We can only do our best in our respective roles to lessen your worries.
Zhao Hongyan's eyes were moist.
In front of Chen Feng, she felt so insignificant, so worldly, and even a little bad.
Before, the sole theme of her life was to make money. To make money, she didn't hesitate to become a local bully.
Compared to Chen Feng, she was a person of low taste.
Chen Feng didn't hesitate and immediately went to find Wu Tianhong.
Before confronting Wu Tianhong, Chen Feng's idea was to give Wu Tianhong a chance.
If Wu Tianhong had a change of heart, he could spare him.
After all, Wu Tianhong was Wang Ziwei's distant cousin, and he had to show this respect to Wang Ziwei.
But the problem was, if Wu Tianhong persisted in his errors and became even worse, then he couldn't be so polite; he would have to be ruthless.
For the protective umbrella of criminal organizations, one must be ruthless.
Chen Feng, why are you in the capital?
Wu Tianhong asked, feigning ignorance.
Elder Wu, I want to ask you a question, and I hope you answer me truthfully.
Chen Feng asked with a serious expression.
Chen Feng, what's wrong with you today? We are both Cheng Lu's friends. There's no need to be so formal, right? I'm not used to it.
Wu Tianhong asked, bewildered.
The Hu Brothers Group, do you know about this?
Chen Feng questioned him directly.
Of course, I know! How could I not know about such a major event? The Hu Brothers Group, Hu Biao and Hu Bao, were burned to death by their enemies for their heinous crimes.
Wu Tianhong replied, feigning composure.
In reality, he had already harbored murderous intent.
Regardless of whether Chen Feng was Wang Ziwei's man or not, he must die.
The Hu Brothers Group was a criminal organization under his protection. This matter absolutely could not be known by a third person. Whoever knew would die.
That's true. Alright, I was just asking casually.
Chen Feng replied impassively.
Since Wu Tianhong flatly denied it, it fully showed that Wu Tianhong wanted to go down this path to the end.
Since he was going down this path to the end, then he couldn't be polite; he must kill him.
After a few more pleasantries, Chen Feng left Wu Tianhong's office.
As soon as Chen Feng left, Wu Tianhong immediately called the provincial political and legal big shot, Wu Yiming.
Wu Yiming was Wu Tianhong's distant cousin and had always been in cahoots with Wu Tianhong.
Yiming, find a way to kill Chen Feng. Do it quickly.
Wu Tianhong said with murderous intent.
