He glanced at the woman, but Ji Yang didn’t really have any particular thoughts. He had seen plenty of beautiful women by now, and even if she was beautiful, he didn’t have much interest.
However, Ji Yang did have a guess; he estimated that this woman probably had a relationship with Deng Guohai.
Ji Yang also had a feeling that this woman held quite a grudge against someone in the four branches and five agencies, though he had no idea who it was aimed at.
After entering his own home and taking a shower, Ji Yang sat there smoking.
Now, with Deng Guohai lurking in the shadows, it was impossible for Ji Yang to meet with women whenever he pleased, so he spent his free time studying.
Ever since Ji Yang had the idea to elevate his academic qualifications, he spent his spare time studying, and his next step was to go for something like a doctorate.
While Ji Yang was studying here, Deng Guohai was not at his own home but had gone to a secret leisure club.
This club could be said to be a place that specifically served Deng Guohai, and it was staffed by many beautiful women.
While enjoying the service of beautiful women, he turned to one of them and asked, "How are those people doing?"
In this place, where only beautiful women were allowed to enter, Deng Guohai naturally used beautiful women to handle his affairs.
The woman replied earnestly, "There haven’t been many developments with Ji Yang. This person doesn’t seem to be a young man at all. Usually, he stays at home, and after being trailed and eluded twice, he hasn’t left his residence again. He generally reads in his room, and in accordance with your instructions, we haven’t installed surveillance in their homes." Google seaʀᴄh novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"Mm, we can’t mess with surveillance. It’s a big deal, if discovered, it would pretty much be over. It’s a major taboo in government, no one wants to deal with this kind of thing. All of them have their own subordinates, and installing surveillance would be easily detected."
Deng Guohai was clear about this; firstly, everyone would check, it would be unlikely for it not to be found out. Moreover, everyone dreaded this kind of thing. If it was actually discovered, everyone would strike against the person behind it, and he didn’t dare to get involved in such affairs.
"Cao Jiakun brought his wife over, and they seem to have a good relationship. Cao Jiakun didn’t go out to do anything either under our surveillance. Fang Shijun’s wife also arrived, and he almost never leaves the house."
Deng Guohai sighed, "These two who climbed up by marrying into their wives’ families are really quite something!"
Regarding these two men, Deng Guohai felt he had no other choice, he didn’t expect them to be so patient.
Initially, Deng Guohai knew that both of them had affairs and wanted to gain leverage over the two, but, unfortunately, he hadn’t been successful. Thankfully, Huang Yan was somewhat more helpful. Cao Jiakun tried to win over Huang Yan with promised benefits, and under his own guidance, Huang Yan seemed to side with Cao Jiakun. During this conference, he used this situation to have Cao Jiakun align with Huang Yan. It looked like Huang Yan had scored a victory, but in reality, it was his own win as he had managed to place another of his trusted people in a crucial position.
Thinking of his person occupying that position, Deng Guohai felt a bit of smug satisfaction, after all the long fights, they were still manipulated by him.
However, the current situation was not yet sufficient. The best method would be for the top two leaders to fight each other. As long as they started their struggle and both fell, his chances of climbing up would increase.
Although Deng Guohai desired to take over Jinyin City, he also had other ambitions; if he could further expand his influence, that would be even better.
