Sitting in his office, Ji Yang was always paying attention to various matters.
He had noticed that when Huang Yan was in front of Deng Guohai, despite the calm appearance she maintained on the surface, her eyes often harbored complex emotions.
Had he not been aware of the inside story, he would have had no idea that the two shared some sort of connection.
Of course, Ji Yang wasn’t going to blurt out these things quite so quickly, since most people wouldn’t believe him anyway.
Having arrived in a new place without his own power base and with only a handful of subordinates, Ji Yang had to be extremely cautious in all his actions.
Deng Guohai’s influence was obviously tremendously strong. If Deng were to be disturbed, Ji Yang was unsure whether his own safety could still be guaranteed.
A notification sounded from the phone, a secret phone specially used to contact his women.
He had no choice in the matter, seeing that too many phones were prone to leaking secrets. Ji Yang didn’t want any problems.
The message was sent by Cao Li.
It contained only one piece of information: Deng Guohai’s people had set their sights on the deputy mayor, Fang Shijun.
Ji Yang, naturally, also knew a fair bit about this deputy mayor.
Fang Shijun had married an ugly woman, who was not only fat and ugly but also had a bad temper and was extremely jealous.
As the youngest daughter of the Capital City’s Lu Family, Ji Yang could not fathom the mentality of this ugly woman, who kept a tight leash on Fang Shijun.
However, from what Ji Yang had learned, Fang Shijun was still secretly maintaining an intimate relationship with his college girlfriend, and he had even taken a female college student as his mistress.
Ji Yang speculated that Fang Shijun might have a vengeful mindset.
Regardless, ever since marrying that woman, Fang Shijun’s career trajectory had been quite impressive. In a short span of time, he had become a deputy mayor with prospects of joining the higher ranks.
Ji Yang had initially thought to observe further, but now he discovered that Deng Guohai had also set his sights on Fang.
Ji Yang knew without thinking that if Deng Guohai was targeting someone, Fang Shijun would sooner or later have to align with Deng.
Now that Deng had covertly secured Huang Yan, bringing down Fang Shijun would give him three votes.
Ji Yang was starting to understand. Deng’s actions were evidently aimed at taking control of Jinyin City. As for promotion, Deng Guohai might not be in such a hurry. Being the de facto emperor of a city, Deng could lead a very comfortable life.
Ji Yang didn’t want to speculate too much about others’ thoughts now. After entering officialdom, he had seen a great deal. Many people had their own ideas, which might seem incomprehensible to outsiders. Deng Guohai likely had a different mindset from the rest.
Still, Ji Yang was well aware that it was only a matter of time before Deng would target him. If he wanted to live comfortably here, someone like Deng Guohai shouldn’t exist.
Eliminating Deng Guohai outright was possible, but Ji Yang also understood that many things weren’t as simple as he would wish. Killing the man was easy, but if such an act were leaked, Ji Yang’s career would be effectively over – no one would employ a person like him.
Forget it, better to contend with Deng Guohai within the bounds of the rules.
After some thought, Ji Yang finally dismissed the idea of taking out Deng Guohai directly.
Although he couldn’t kill him openly, Ji Yang still wanted to bring him down as much as possible. Googlᴇ search NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Of course, whether it was Huang Yan or Fang Shijun, officials like them, Ji Yang would be all too pleased to see fall. It would be even better if Deng Guohai could bring them all down with him.
Maybe he could use some people to deal with Deng Guohai!
A new idea suddenly struck Ji Yang. He wouldn’t act personally; instead, he could use someone else to do the deed.
