On the phone, Xue Pingan sighed: "Chief Zhou has made it so clear. There is no point for me to stay here any longer."
"He also has his difficulties." Kang Dinghuang paused: "He is indeed more cautious about the issue of An Qiqi."
Xue Pingan didn't respond at all, because from a personal point of view, Zhou Xian had no right to talk about difficulties. Whoever controlled An Qiqi was simply a matter of interest, and Xue Pingan was now facing the life and death of a large number of his immediate family members.
If you talk to me about your difficulties, who the hell can I go to
Xue Ping'an's dissatisfaction was uncontrollable. Even though it was Kang Dinghuang on the other end of the phone, he didn't have the heart to say anything nice.
Kang Dinghuang could naturally sense Xue Ping'an's emotional changes. After a long silence, he softly comforted him, "Don't worry, I will consider your family's affairs. The coup in Bana City has not yet come to an end. I personally think that Su Tianyu will definitely join the game later. We are not in a hurry. We can find a chance to save it. Even if we don't catch Su Tianyu's handle in Bana City in the end, I will find a way to get you a chance to redeem him in Sinalo."
These words were much more candid, and at least Xue Ping'an felt a little warmer after hearing them.
"Thank you, Minister Kang!" Xue Ping'an also knew that Kang Dinghuang had no decision-making power on the issue of An Qiqi, and it was an exception for him to make this promise to him today.
"Old Xue, don't leave for the time being." Kang Dinghuang was silent for a while: "Your family is in Su Tianyu's hands, you have to avoid suspicion. The auxiliary work in Bana City can be handed over to the people below. If you stay here, the upper management will be more relieved. At least if there is a problem, they can't find it on you."
Xue Pingan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his brain quickly worked as he replied, "Okay, I understand."
"Well, that's it. Let's talk later."
"Okay, you're busy!"
The two ended the call. Xue Ping'an held the phone tightly, frowned, looked out the window, and fell into deep thought.
…
Dragon City.
After An Zecheng finished the call with his wife, he felt extremely upset. He stood alone on the rooftop of the military building, facing the cold wind, and thinking about how to break the impasse.
Just now on the phone, Yu Zhen had clearly told An Zecheng that although Xue Nan had been caught, he would not play a big role in the short term and could only be used as a turning point in the final case.
Why do I say so
Because even if Xue Nan was proven to be framed, even if he implicated Zhou Xian and Qiuqiu and others who gave false testimony, An Qiqi would still have to go through the legal proceedings.
In other words, the case handling department will not be able to give up control over An Qiqi until the lawsuit is over.
If it was a normal criminal case, An Qiqi could have been released on bail, etc., but because she was An Zecheng's daughter, these reasonable procedures could not be applied to her.
This is not a simple criminal case, but involves the conflict and infighting between two political factions.
Yu Zhen contacted many friends in the past few days and found out that Zhou Xian was trying every means to delay the judicial process and extend the case cycle as much as possible, in order to check and balance An Zecheng and even divide his relationship with Tan Hengqiang.
what to do
An Zecheng didn't want to wait any longer. As a father, he didn't want to bring his family members, or even his beloved daughter, to jail because of his political decisions.
But now An Zecheng dare not act rashly, because he has been labeled as a member of the Tan faction, and all his actions must represent the entire garrison, so if he does not handle it well, it will be easy to push Tan Hengqiang into the fire pit, causing a rift in their relationship, and this will also fall into the trap of the old guard.
On the rooftop.
An Zecheng slowly lit a cigarette and looked sharply at the surrounding streets. After thinking hard for a long time, he turned around and shouted, "Call He Bin up."
"Yes!" the adjutant responded and immediately ran downstairs.
About ten minutes later, a major officer rushed up, saluted, and shouted, "Commander!"
An Zecheng waved his hand at the other party: "He Bin, come here."
He Bin is probably in his early thirties. He is a confidant brought from District 1 by Anze City and has been promoted frequently recently.
"Commander, what's the mission?"
"Relax." An Zecheng smoked a cigarette and said expressionlessly, "I need you to do something."
"You say!"
"Qiqi's case is still not optimistic. The old school is trying to delay time and devote their energy to the problems of Bana City and Sinalo," An Zecheng said softly in the cold wind, "but I don't want to wait any longer."
He Bin nodded.
"Leave the military these few days and select some reliable people to go to Sinalo," An Zecheng whispered, "After you get there..."
He Bin listened carefully to An Zecheng's instructions and kept responding.
After An Zecheng finished explaining, he immediately warned: "You don't need to tell anyone about this, not even Mingyuan. You can do it on your own."
"I understand!" He Bin nodded.
"Without my order, you don't need to return. You just need to serve as a bridge of communication and connection."
"Yes!" He Bin saluted: "I promise to complete the task."
"You go ahead."
…
The next morning.
In the Longcheng Garrison Headquarters, An Zecheng found Tan Hengqiang and intervened and said to him: “The old faction is targeting me so much, I don’t want to wait any longer.”
Tan Hengqiang was silent for a moment, then said in a consoling voice, "I told you, I will do this for you."
"Old Tan, what I mean is, I don't want to wait any longer!" An Zecheng no longer had his usual soft attitude, but emphasized with a serious face.
Tan Hengqiang intervened and looked at him: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Bana City!" An Zecheng said three words: "There is an opportunity here. You don't need to worry about how to find the opportunity. I will do it myself."
When Tan Hengqiang heard this, he frowned and did not respond.
An Zecheng looked at Tan Hengqiang's expression and frankly admitted, "Yes, in this matter, we may have some tacit understanding with the Chinese District and the Chi Army, but this is my personal behavior, I promise... it will not involve the garrison!"
Tan Hengqiang picked up the teacup and still did not respond.
An Zecheng stared into his eyes and spoke word by word, "If you doubt my position, then you have fallen into the trap of the old school. They are messing with my daughter just to divide the relationship between you and me."
This was too direct, without any subtlety, but it made Tan Hengqiang's brows relax: "I have never doubted your position, but Bana City...?"
"I'll be the bad guy, and we'll get the benefits from the garrison."
"What benefit?"
"Weakening the old faction will improve the status of the garrison." An Zecheng said word by word: "From today on, I will only target the royal relatives of the old Zhou faction!!! Our five-year plan only allows you to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Legion!"
When Tan Hengqiang heard this, his hand holding the teacup trembled.
