Just after nuclear fusion was successfully achieved, my brother Qi Tongwei committed suicide?

They don't think so.

Mu Chen told them that the instructions from the Central Committee were simply being relayed.

There must be a deeper meaning behind this from Mu Chen!

After a brief silence, Sha Ruijin spoke first: "Tell me, isn't he trying to reassure us?"

"Trying to lower our guard?"

"Then, step by step, little by little, transform Handong into his Handong?"

Why would Sha Ruijin think this way? It's simple: because that's exactly what he did after he arrived in Handong!

First, at the first meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, the personnel appointments of more than 100 cadres were frozen.

It gave everyone a taste of their own medicine!

Then things calmed down, and on the surface, they maintained a good relationship with Gao Yuliang and his group, even getting along well, making everyone think that the situation had eased.

But in the shadows.

Sha Ruijin, however, was plotting his own political maneuvering.

We'll wipe out the entire Han gang in one fell swoop!

Therefore, Sha Ruijin had to suspect Mu Chen's true purpose. The central government's instructions were real, and Mu Chen's hidden intentions were also very likely real!

Tian Guofu nodded thoughtfully.

He said, "In short, it's always better to be safe than sorry."

"During this period, on the one hand, we need to follow the instructions of the central government and improve the economy of Handong."

"But on the other hand..."

"We cannot let our guard down in our monitoring of Mu Chen."

We must keep a close eye on all his actions!

Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu reached a consensus, but Sha Ruijin also thought of something even more profound.

That is the investigation into Mu Chen's true identity.

We can't stop!

He had to find out what identity Mu Chen was hiding behind his identity as a special envoy!

The night is getting darker.

The residence of Li Dakang, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Li Dakang sat at the table.

There were several bottles of beer and a dish of peanuts on the table. He was drinking his beer with a somewhat depressed expression.

Because his ex-wife, Ouyang Jing, was arrested.

Li Dakang is now basically all alone, with no one to confide in.

And just then.

A sudden knock on the door startled Li Dakang. Why would someone come looking for him so late at night?

Logically speaking, no one should have come to the door.

Even for official business, you can just call him to handle it.

However, Li Dakang still stood up.

Walk to the door and open it.

When the door was opened, a tall man stood there, exuding a powerful aura.

Li Dakang's eyes widened suddenly.

He quickly stepped forward.

Then he said, "Comrade Special Envoy! What brings you here?"

"Please come in quickly!"

"Please come in quickly!"

After recognizing the person in front of him as Mu Chen.

Li Dakang quickly invited Mu Chen into the house.

Mu Chen walked into the house with a smile, and then saw several bottles of beer and a plate of peanuts on the table.

It looks a bit messy.

But it has a very down-to-earth feel to it.

"What's wrong, Secretary Dakang? Are you drinking alone in silence?"

Mu Chen said with a smile.

Li Dakang was taken aback for a moment, then said with a forced smile, "Where is it?"

"He was just drinking for fun, nothing serious."

But Mu Chen suddenly stopped.

Turn around.

Looking back into Li Dakang's eyes, he said, "But that's not what I heard from Secretary Sha Ruijin."

"After he transferred Yi Xuexi over here."

"You two have had quite a few arguments, and the economic development of Jingzhou City has never been able to pick up. As the Party Secretary of the city, you must be very anxious, right?"

Li Dakang was deeply shocked.

My head, which had been a little tipsy, suddenly became incredibly clear!

How did Mu Chen know all this?

And these words were actually told to Mu Chen by Sha Ruijin?

How could Sha Ruijin tell Mu Chen!

Li Dakang felt it was somewhat unrealistic, and Mu Chen noticed Li Dakang's doubts and explained, "This afternoon, I talked a lot with Secretary Sha and Secretary Tian Guofu."

"A consensus has been reached."

"Handong should still prioritize economic development, especially Jingzhou, which should prioritize development even more!"

"I heard you're quite adept at managing economics."

"That's why I came here specifically to hear your opinion and to see if you have any difficulties in developing your business in Jingzhou."

Li Dakang keenly sensed an important piece of information.

Mu Chen and Sha Ruijin met.

Instead of escalating tensions, the two sides reached a consensus!

Does this mean the two have reconciled?

But Mu Chen had clearly given him a hard time before, and even forced Sha Ruijin to cut off his own arm and demoted Hou Liangping by three ranks!

This is a big holiday!

How did a consensus suddenly come about?

Could it be... that this is what the higher-ups mean?

Li Dakang's ability to rise to the position of Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee truly proves him to be an exceptionally shrewd individual!

Although I didn't guess it completely.

But I guessed it pretty accurately!

Li Dakang's expression immediately changed, and he cried pitifully, "Comrade Special Envoy, you have no idea how difficult things are for me in Jingzhou right now!"

"Back then, the Dafeng Factory incident had already left the Jingzhou municipal government broke."

"Later, those investors heard that Yi Xuexi had arrived."

"Several agreements that had been reached suddenly vanished!"

"The people of Jingzhou need to eat, find jobs, and develop; the pressure rests entirely on me, the Party Secretary of the city!"

"How can I not be under pressure?"

Li Dakang poured out his grievances to Mu Chen.

The reality is certainly not as dire as he described, but it is true that Jingzhou's economic development is not ideal.

"Of course, there's no city party secretary who doesn't face pressure."

"As long as the people can live a good life, it's worth the pressure."

Li Dakang drank a glass of wine.

He got more and more excited as he talked: "But recently something happened that I really have to get off my chest."
