Chapter 180: Sudden Changes in the Wind and Clouds

  There were over a hundred cars parked on the roadside, and in the dead of night, several hundred people gathered at the parking lot in front of Yingwang International Building to watch, this scene is rarely seen in Donghua, and even the Chengbei District Branch did not dare to forcibly take people away from Liu Weiguo and others.

  The standoff lasted for about half an hour, wearing down people's patience. Even the onlookers were getting agitated, and no one could guess what would happen next.

  Even when Yang Lili was worried that the situation would get out of control, Shen Huai's phone on the dashboard rang again with a "ding ding" sound, which was particularly piercing in the quiet car.

  Shen Huai picked up the phone and saw that it was a landline number from within the city. He smiled at Yang Lili, who had been on edge all day, and said, "Look, with things having escalated to this point, there must be someone who is more anxious than us."

  Yang Lili knew that Wang Zile would not dare to do anything to Shen Huan, but after knowing that it was her who reported the truth, how could he possibly let her off easily? Yang Lili's heart was filled with fear and anxiety, seeing Shen Huan's nonchalant expression, she could only look at him bitterly as he answered the phone, also unable to guess who would call Shen Huan at this time.

  "What's going on with Emperor International now? Do you know?" asked Xiong Wenbin's voice from the other end of the phone.

  "I just sent the guest to the city," Shen Huai didn't think that things would get to Tan Qiping so quickly, and he naturally wouldn't admit that he was the one who planned everything behind the scenes. Facing Xiong Wenbin's questioning, he pretended to be confused and asked, "What's going on, is there something exciting happening at Ying Huang International?"

  "I'm not very clear about the specific situation either. The Municipal Public Security Bureau just received a report, saying that the Meixi Town Police Station suddenly rushed to the North District to arrest people without any procedures or notifications, and took control of Wang Ziliang and others to take them away. After the North District Branch received the report, they dispatched personnel to the scene, requesting to take over the case, but were rejected by the Meixi Town Police Station personnel. Now the two groups are facing off in front of the Yingwang International Building for half an hour, this is something that has never happened in Donghua before, and the impact is very bad. Secretary Tan and Mayor Gao both know about this now, and have instructed to handle it seriously. I'm on my way there with Director Kan, you should come over too..." Xiong Wenbin said over the phone.

  "Alright, I'll be right there to meet up with you guys." Shen Hua said, he didn't care whether Xiong Wenbin believed him or not, he hung up the phone and wasn't in a hurry to leave, waiting for Xiong Wenbin and Kan Xuetao to arrive first.

  The scene was so big that Yang Lili felt a little difficult to breathe. The car was very quiet, and she could vaguely hear Xiong Wenbin's words, but the more she listened, the more suspicious she became. When Shen Hua hung up the phone, she couldn't help asking: "Does the Municipal Party Secretary know about this?"

  Although the scene outside looks a bit big, is it also making a fuss over a small matter to shock the municipal party secretary? Yang Lili also knew some official rules and thought that even if Tan Qiping knew about this, he should have instructed the Tangzhai District Branch Bureau to coordinate, but instead, he let the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee and the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau personally rush to the scene to solve the problem, which made her feel unbelievable.

  "Do you know what's with that guy surnamed Dai?" Shen Huai asked.

  "Isn't Director Dai a friend of Gao Xiaohu's?" asked Yang Lili, "What's his background."

  "I didn't expect that the one with the surname Dai would be quite tight-lipped, not revealing his identity as the son of the provincial Party committee's Organization Department head," Shen Huai whistled and said with a smile, "Tell me, what's so surprising about the son of the provincial Party committee's Organization Department head being involved in the Donghua prostitution case, and being controlled by a small township police station, and even alarming the municipal Party secretary?"

  "What?" Yang Lili was so shocked by the news that she felt dizzy and her ears seemed to be ringing, suddenly realizing that the whole thing had completely exceeded her imagination, and it wasn't just Shen Hua wanting to deal with Wang Ziyang.

  "Bang bang......" Shen Huaizheng was waiting for Xiong Wenbin and Kan Xuetao to appear on the opposite side of the road. The car door on the right side was slammed shut, he turned his head to look over, Xiong Wenbin was staring over with a gloomy face.

  I knew Xiong Wenbin wasn't that easy to cheat, Shen Huai regretted not parking the car further away. Now they've been caught red-handed, and regret is useless. He could only gesture to Yang Lili to open the car door: "You go sit in the back..."

  Yang Lili gave up the front passenger seat to Xiong Wenbin, she sat in the back seat, from the rearview mirror saw Xiong Wenbin's face looked very bad, apparently guessing Shen Huai's actions tonight, and obviously very dissatisfied with Shen Huai's actions tonight. She felt uneasy in her heart, vaguely feeling that things were a bit out of control, not quite right.

  "What do you want to do?" Xiong Wenbin didn't care that Yang Lili was sitting in the back, and pressed his voice to directly question Shen Huai, "Don't you really know that Dai Yi is the son of Provincial Committee Organization Department Director Dai Lesen? What you're doing will only make Secretary Tan fall into a passive situation!"

  "So, Secretary Tan also guessed that I was behind the scenes, huh?" Shen Huai didn't look at Xiong Wenbin's gloomy face, took out a cigarette and lit it, then handed the ashtray and lighter to Xiong Wenbin.

  "Before Quan Xuetao came with me, he had a phone call with Liu Weiguo. Liu Weiguo didn't give in an inch and insisted on not handing the person over to the Chengbei District Branch for handling. I think he must have some confidence." Xiong Wenbin lit up a cigarette, although he suspected that Shen Huai was manipulating things from behind the scenes, but couldn't see through what Shen Huai's goal was.

  At this time, Kuang Xuetao got out of the police car on the opposite side of the road. He didn't even glance over here and directly pushed through the crowd to take control of the situation and prevent it from getting any worse.

  As Shen Hua watched Zhou Ming and Pan Shi Hua get out of that luxury car one after another, he furrowed his brow.

  Xiong Wenbin observed that people were meticulous and saw Shen Huai frowning, he knew what he was thinking, and said: "Today's matter is the City North Branch Bureau contacting Tang Zha Branch Bureau to request coordination. The Tang Zha Branch Bureau reported the matter to Pan Shi Hua; I, Zhou Ming, and Pan Shi Hua happened to be together for dinner until very late..."

  "It's almost midnight, and you're still so close to Pan Quan, aren't you?" Shen Hua thought of the things that Pan Shi Gui and Pan Shi Hua had done behind his back, and he couldn't help but want to provoke Xiong Wenbin a little. He knew that Xiong Wenbin was no longer the person who would rather be kicked far away than yield to reality, and wondered how long he could hold out without yielding in the face of such harsh social realities if he hadn't accidentally survived by borrowing Shen Hua's identity.

  Thinking of this, Shen Hua no longer held much resentment towards Xiong Wenbin. With his current status as a member of the Song family, he could naturally look down on everything in the local area with disdain and arrogance, viewing people like Pan Shi Hua as dirt, and seeing the web of local forces as nothing but a broken thread. However, Xiong Wenbin couldn't be so detached - his glory as deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee was only achieved by clinging to Tan Qi Ping.

  Shen Hua originally wanted to get along with Xiong Wenbin, and indeed needed more strategy in doing things. But at this time, Pan Shi Hua was standing on the opposite side of the road, looking over here with a cold gaze, making Shen Hua feel an uncontrollable anger in his heart, and his tone towards Xiong Wenbin also became softer. Looking out of the car window, he said, "Since Director Pan is already here, you can just have him give direct orders. After all, Mei Xi Town is under the leadership of Tang Zha District; the business of Mei Xi Town Police Station also needs to be guided by Tang Zha District Branch..."

  This is the second time Yang Lili has seen Shen Huai and Xiong Wenbin together, she didn't expect the atmosphere to still be so cold and oppressive. She also didn't think that today's events would shock so many big shots. But thinking of Dai Yi's identity, Yang Lili thought this was normal.

  Seeing Shen Huai speaking so bluntly, Xiong Wenbin also sighed in his heart:

  Pan Shi Hua is a meticulous person, and Xiong Wen Bin doesn't like him from the bottom of his heart. However, Tan Qi Ping has decided to use Pan Shi Hua, and recently, Pan Shi Hua has been deliberately getting along with the people in this group who belong to the Tan system. For someone who relies on Tan Qi Ping, there is no room for refusal.

  Zhou Ming was not content with slowly climbing up within the Municipal Planning Commission, and wanted to be transferred to a township, street or district-affiliated bureau under Tangzhai District through Pan Shihua's arrangement. Recently, he has been getting close to Pan Shihua, as his father-in-law, whether he supports him or not?

  The officialdom is just a net, what else can he struggle with besides being trapped in it? Can he be noble? Can he emerge from the muddy water without being stained?

  Thinking of this, Xiong Wenbin's heart also felt bitter, unable to share these with Shen Huai. In his eyes, Shen Huai was an arrogant young master from a noble family, how could he possibly understand the hardships they had faced climbing up from the bottom?

  "Now that I know you have a hand in this matter, I still need to respect your opinion." Xiong Wenbin said, he too wanted to get rid of Wang Ziliang, but since it involved the son of the provincial party committee's organization department head, he didn't want to let Tan Qiping and Dai Lesheng's relationship deteriorate directly after they had just reached a compromise. Some things require compromise, some things cannot be handled impulsively by Shen Hua.

  "If we put Dai Yi's identity aside," Shen Huai said, holding the cigarette in his hand and watching the tip flicker in the dimly lit car, "if you, Old Bear, were to encounter two people running over to ask for help today, one being Manager Yang sitting in the back, and the other being the girl herself, telling you that a 16-year-old girl is about to be forced into prostitution by a gang, what would you do?"

  "You can handle it more strategically," said Xiong Wenbin. "There's no need to make the situation uncontrollable."

  "When I knew about this, Prince Liang had already sent people to catch them. Of course, I could have been more strategic, but then again, what qualifications does a little rascal who relies on his family background to climb up the social ladder have to talk strategy with me?" Shen Huai sneered coldly, "Dai Lesheng's son is not decent, and it's not like I intentionally caught Dai Lesheng's handle. He knows it was my doing, so he dares to come and bite me!"

  Hearing Shen Huai's unreasonable words, Xiong Wenbin smiled wryly and said: "You can just slap your butt and leave, no one can do anything to you, and you don't have to worry about the situation being difficult to clean up - but someone still has to clean up this mess, right?"

  Shen Hua knew that Tan Qiping wanted to downplay the big things and make small things out of them, unwilling to escalate the conflict. Xiong Wenbin was just an executor of Tan Qiping's will tonight, and it was pointless to continue arguing with him. Moreover, Pan Shihua and Kan Xuetao arrived at the same time, they must have wanted to control the situation according to their own will, and he had no way out.

  Shen Hua thought for a moment and said: "Alright, I don't want to argue with you either. You and Secretary Tan just want to make the scene look better, and I'll cooperate with you..."

  Xiong Wenbin's eyebrows furrowed, he didn't quite believe that Shen Huai's arrogant personality would submit so easily, but Shen Huai pushed the door open with a hint of anger and got out of the car, walking directly towards Ying Huang International, Xiong Wenbin could only follow suit.
