In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

"Comrade Donglai, I have just arrived in Handong and am not very familiar with the work here. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take on the work of the provincial department during this period."

"ah!?"

Zhao Donglai nearly fell off his chair. Was this something a new director should say? Logically, shouldn't he be asking Zhao to cooperate with his work and gradually take control of the power?

Zhao Donglai could never understand Yun Haifeng.

In reality, Yun Haifeng's primary task in coming to Handong was not to actually become the head of the Public Security Bureau. His main task was to incite the Zhong and Zhao families to fight each other to the death.

This is the top priority. If this task is not completed, he will not be the director for long, and those big shots will not give him any support. On the contrary, as long as this task is completed, he will not only have time to gradually take control of the provincial department, but he may even have the opportunity to become a vice-provincial level official!

Yun Haifeng knew all too well which was more important.

At the same time, Yun Haifeng also knew some of Chen Luo's situation. He was fine with engaging in political struggles, but the work of the provincial department absolutely could not be delayed. Therefore, Yun Haifeng allowed Zhao Donglai to continue to preside over some important work of the provincial department.

It's all just helplessness and compromise.

"Yes! Comrade Donglai, you heard me right!"

Please!

Faced with Yun Haifeng's sincere request, Zhao Donglai had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, Director Yun, I'll hand these tasks back to you whenever you feel you're familiar with them."

"Hey, we're all colleagues, no need to distinguish between you and me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai was speechless.

"By the way, Comrade Donglai, I heard there's a director of the anti-corruption bureau at the procuratorate in Handong named Hou Liangping? How well do you know him, Comrade Donglai?"

Upon hearing Hou Liangping's name mentioned abruptly, Zhao Donglai didn't think of anything else. He simply assumed that since the two were both from Beijing, they might know each other. So he said directly, "I know a little about Director Hou. He is extremely selfish and self-serving, acts without regard for rules, and is arrogant and domineering. He can even scheme against his former brothers. Of course, this is all hearsay."

"brother?"

"Yes, the current mayor of Guangming District in Jingzhou City is Chen Hai."

Then, Zhao Donglai explained the situation of Chen Hai and Hou Liangping in detail.

Yun Haifeng's eyes lit up after hearing that!

"So, the two have a very deep-seated grudge?"

"That's not all! Hou Liangping even angered Chen Hai's father to death; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a father-killing feud."

"I understand. That's all for now, Comrade Donglai. We'll talk again next time."

"Okay, let's talk again next time."

Zhao Donglai left, while Yun Haifeng sat in his chair and began to ponder quietly.

Over the weekend, Yun Haifeng, the newly appointed director, did not rush to work, but instead visited his predecessor, Qi Tongwei, at the First People's Hospital of the province.

As soon as Yun Haifeng arrived at the hospital and walked to the ward, he saw Qi Tongwei nimbly get out of bed and go to the balcony to open the window and enjoy the spring breeze.

Knock knock knock. Hearing the knocking, Qi Tongwei pretended not to have recovered and turned around with a limp.

"Please come in!"

Yun Haifeng pushed open the door and then came to Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, my name is Yun Haifeng. I just came to Handong to take over your position. I came to Handong yesterday and came to see you today to learn from your experience."

Yun Haifeng adopted a very humble attitude, while Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Comrade Haifeng, you don't need to be so polite. The work in Handong is the same as what you asked Zhao Donglai."

I haven't recovered yet; it's been two months. I've almost forgotten how to work.

"Hahaha, Director Qi is joking."

"By the way, Director Qi, I heard that you and Zhao Ruilong used to be quite close. Could you tell me about this young master Zhao now?"

Qi Tongwei paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't know much about it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Haifeng showed no displeasure, simply smiling faintly, "Director Qi, please rest assured, I just need some information about Zhao Ruilong. For example, hasn't Zhao Ruilong noticed that some people are eyeing their family?"

In an instant, Qi Tongwei became serious.

"I'm not quite sure, Comrade Haifeng, you should ask someone else." After saying that, Qi Tongwei lay down on the hospital bed and didn't move.

Yun Haifeng had expected this result.

After Yun Haifeng left, Qi Tongwei immediately called Chen Luo to tell him about it.

Upon receiving this news, Chen Luo was not surprised; on the contrary, it confirmed Yun Haifeng's purpose in coming to Handong.

He also told Qi Tongwei that it was appropriate to reveal some information about the recent situations of Zhao Ruilong, Zhong Xiaoai, and Hou Liangping.

Upon receiving the instruction, Qi Tongwei called Yun Haifeng that same day, and Yun Haifeng arrived at the hospital that very night.

"Director Qi, are you saying that the relationship between Zhao Ruilong, Zhong Xiaoai, and Hou Liangping has been so complicated lately?"

Qi Tongwei shook his head.

"I just heard it, you know what I mean?"

Yun Haifeng rolled his eyes, not bothering to dwell on it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, never mind, anyway, thank you, Director Qi!"

Qi Tongwei only breathed a sigh of relief after Yun Haifeng left. He told Yun Haifeng about Zhao Ruilong's scheme against Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai, including Chen Hai's involvement.

These messages were like a treasure to Yun Haifeng. No wonder the Zhong and Zhao families hadn't taken any action and the situation in Handong was at a stalemate. Yun Haifeng had already come up with a way to break the deadlock: Chen Hai!

Back in his office room that night, Yun Haifeng reported the news to his superior.

The final instruction was to detonate the bomb!

Monday, time to work again.

All units in Handong were operating as usual, including the provincial department. In the morning, Yun Haifeng chaired a party group meeting and casually remarked that Zhao Donglai would continue to preside over the daily work, and then nothing more was said.

He himself went to the Guangming District Committee and Government of Jingzhou City.

There has to be a reason for coming here. Yun Haifeng's reason was simple: to take Cai Chenggong to the provincial department so that the department could investigate the whereabouts of his funds.

In the district head's office, Yun Haifeng met Chen Hai.

"District Chief Chen, we need to take Cai Chenggong with us. At the same time, he is related to the funds advanced by Guangming District. I need to exchange opinions with you."

Chen Hai felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Yun Haifeng's smiling face, but he still nodded in agreement.

"No problem, Director Yun!"

"That's great, District Chief Chen. It's our first meeting and you're already so willing to cooperate with my work. How about we have dinner together tonight? Just like getting to know each other as friends."

After thinking about it, Chen Hai figured having more friends meant having more options, so he nodded and agreed.

That evening, at a roadside food stall, Chen Hai and Yun Haifeng kept drinking. Yun Haifeng was incredibly considerate, the perfect listener. And Chen Hai?

Once the pent-up emotions were released, the guard in my heart gradually lowered.

"Sigh, District Chief Chen, I feel sorry for you!"

I've heard of Hou Liangping; he's a complete scoundrel!

"He's arrogant and domineering because he has a father-in-law, but I never thought he'd dare to scheme against you like this, and even your father..."
