This news made Chen Fang's mind buzz.

He picked up the remote control and took a look.

The light on it was flashing.

It seemed that Zhao Yiyi was not joking.

After all, not just anyone could get their hands on explosives.

Plus, blowing up a dam would cause flood waters to surge in, leading to very serious consequences—something ordinary people wouldn't dare do, or even think about.

But it seemed the Fenglin Party had no fear of this at all.

He took a deep breath.

He asked, "What exactly is this Fenglin Party?"

Zhao Yiyi hesitated for a moment.

She said, "How should I put this, it should be considered a community of shared interests. The Fenglin Party isn't very large, the main members only total over thirty people, but these thirty people, they're all officials' children."

Another explosive piece of news.

"Officials' children? Like you?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhao Yiyi nodded, saying, "Besides me, there are children of leaders from neighboring cities and counties, of course, there are also some children of provincial leaders. Do you remember the guy from before, the one we called 'Turkey'? His father is the Vice Chairman of the Tonghai City Political Consultative Conference."

The Fenglin Party had very strict requirements for membership.

Children of high-ranking officials who wanted to join couldn't just be accepted; the minimum required level was that of a department head.

Based on their parents' level, their position in the Fenglin Party was decided.

The class stratification was severe.

"I remember you saying that you were the number two person in the Fenglin Party. Does that mean Mayor Zhao ranks second in this organization?"

Chen Fang inquired.

Zhao Yiyi waved her hand and said, "It's not like that. Besides level being a hard condition, rank is also based on the contributions we make to the organization internally. Me being ranked second means that I've done more outrageous things within the Fenglin Party."

She was not shy about it.

She directly used the term "outrageous."

It was clear that the Fenglin Party was usually up to no good.

Besides maintaining the circle of their parents' interests.

The Fenglin Party gathered a group of unruly people who didn't care for money or power, only thrill, and would take on certain "jobs" from the outside—settling matters for people. As long as they were approached, no matter what the issue was, they would take it on. They did this kind of messy business to fill the void within their hearts.

Zhao Yiyi told Chen Fang.

She had grown up in an envied official's family.

But only she knew just how painful living in such a family could be.

Her parents were always busy, and no one was there to accompany her as she grew up.

She never lacked new clothes, or any food, and of course, she didn't lack money.

She could have whatever she wanted.

In such an environment, her personality began to become twisted.

From a young age, she found pleasure in bullying her classmates, knowing that no matter how serious the issue, someone would smooth it over.

At this point, she laughed at herself ruefully, "Maybe others think that people like us lack nothing, but they don't know that our spiritual world has always been empty. Some like to peep at female classmates, watch porn, some pickpocket, some admire the unrestrained life of gangsters, and others like me find solace in bullying others..."

When he heard these words.

Honestly.

Chen Fang was quite shocked.

"Did you all join the Fenglin Party voluntarily?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhao Yiyi shook her head, saying, "Some did, some didn't. I wasn't voluntary; my father put me there. Now I want out, but I can't leave anymore. After all, no one dares to risk their reputation to break with the Fenglin Party. Considering all the bad things I've done over the years, even a few years in jail wouldn't be too much."

As she said this.

Zhao Yiyi's eyes were filled with sadness.

It was evident that she was full of regret.

In this community of mutual interests,

the parents of the children all support each other, or in other words, they exchange resources.

The reason they can trust each other is also because of the mutual restraint among the children.

To put it bluntly,

these children of the Fenglin Party

are just like the ancient "hostages".

Everything is done in service of their parents' careers and interests.

"So who founded this Fenglin Party?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhao Yiyi shook her head and said, "I don't know. Normally, the affairs of the Fenglin Party are managed by a person named Sister Ying. We don't know what her status is, but we all have to listen to her because she holds all our weaknesses and compromising information in her hands. I've heard that there's someone behind Sister Ying, who seems to be called Brother Bao. Brother Bao should be the founder, but none of us have ever met him."

"Brother Bao..."

Chen Fang muttered to himself.

Of course, this name was also quite unfamiliar to him.

What Zhao Yiyi revealed

shocked Chen Fang greatly.

He had never imagined that within the bounds of East River Province, there would be such a perverse and abnormal organization lurking behind the political scene.

It was a cancer.

Definitely something that could not be left unchecked.

He pondered for a moment, raised his head, and asked, "Since the organization assigned you this task, and you would definitely be punished for failing to complete it, why didn't you destroy me and instead told me the truth?"

"Because of you!"

Zhao Yiyi said.

"Before coming here, I was ready to take you down, but after seeing what you did in Gaokin County, for some reason, I had an epiphany. I used to believe there were no good people in politics, but now my viewpoint has changed. You and my father are completely different people. His eyes hold only power and interests, while yours are filled with them."

She pointed towards the distant embankment with her hand.

Chen Fang let out a sigh of relief.

He asked, "Then, what will you do?"

Zhao Yiyi laughed heartily.

She said, "Don't worry about me. No matter what, my father still has some clout, and they wouldn't dare to really do anything to me. But it's different for you. Just because I didn't move against you doesn't mean they won't act. They know all about the unorthodox things you've done in Gaokin County and will surely use them as a weapon against you. You're in for a lot more trouble..."

This reminder

was timely for Chen Fang.

Otherwise, he would have been completely unprepared.

Who knows what chaos could have ensued?

"Thank you."

Chen Fang, now dressed, stood up and said.

Zhao Yiyi covered her mouth with a smile and said, "You should be thanking yourself. Perhaps you are my redemption."

After saying this,

she placed the remote control for the explosives into Chen Fang's palm.

She said, "There's not much rain outside anymore, and I should head back. I've done what I can. From here on out, take care of yourself."

After saying this,

Zhao Yiyi left the tent.

She quickly disappeared into the misty rain.

Chen Fang had just reached the entrance of the tent

when Yu Zhengchuan came running over in a hurry.

"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

Chen Fang asked.
