The secretary handed Xia Anlan's coat with both hands, picked up his briefcase, and opened the door: "Mayor, you haven't eaten well these days. Do you want some supper tonight?"
Xia Anlan thought of Xiao Ai's midnight snack and didn't know how long it would take to eat it.
He shook his head: "No need."
On the way home, it was quiet at night and there were far fewer cars on the road.
The secretary hardly spoke during the whole journey today, and the car was too quiet.
In the end, it was Xia Anlan who spoke first: "Why don't you talk today?"
The secretary quickly replied: "I think it's too late. You have been busy all day and need a good rest."
Xia Anlan smiled, forgetting such lies in front of him.
"You have been with me for a long time. Next time, remember not to dodge your eyes before lying."
The secretary quickly lowered his head. The mayor's eyes were so sharp that he could see it. He felt that he had no secrets in front of Xia Anlan.
Xia Anlan asked him: "Do you feel today that my approach is not much better than that of the underworld?"
The secretary quickly shook his head: "I... didn't mean that."
He did have this idea. Although he also sympathized with what happened to the eldest daughter of the Xia family, he also felt that it was normal for the mayor to be so angry. However, was it really okay to treat a woman in such a cruel way
Xia Rushuang is indeed guilty, a heinous and heinous crime, but she should have laws to punish her. Why use lynching
The secretary had never seen Xia Anlan so cruel. Yes, it was cruel.
Xia Anlan looked at the street lights outside the window and smiled: "Whether it is there or not, it doesn't really matter."
The secretary plucked up the courage and said: "Mayor, I... I just think that even if Xia Rushuang is guilty, is it better... to leave it to the law for trial? What you have done is somewhat... beyond the scope of your rights. You You may feel comfortable in your heart, but... this will not have a good impact on you. If you are really exposed, your prestige will be affected."
Xia Anlan glanced at his secretary: "You surprised me today. I didn't expect that you, who has entered the political arena, can say such innocent words. It is really rare."
The secretary blushed and scratched his head, wondering if the mayor's decision was a good one.
Xia Anlan lowered some of the car windows and let the cool breeze blow in. He was a little sleepy at first, but he suddenly became more awake. "Power is the wind. If you can hold it, you can control the power. If you can't hold it, it will be blown away. In this There are no legal rights in the world, and the so-called legality is a term imposed by those who control the social order."
"Moreover, I want to be the one who controls this social order. Do you know what my dream was when I was a child?"
The secretary was stunned. Xia Anlan's topic changed so quickly that he could hardly keep up: "What is it?"
Xia Anlan told her secretary: "Before I was 15 years old, my dream was to be a university professor, teach and educate people, and pass down poems and books to my family. Later, it was because of my sister's accident that my outlook on life changed probably at that time. Tell myself that I want to be the most powerful person, and I want to go up to the highest place, so that I can better protect the people I care about."
