Chen Fang thought.

The person orchestrating this grand drama must be someone who knows him very well.

First, let Zhou Nongxin recommend him to be the Deputy Mayor.

In doing so.

Chen Fang can escape the constraints of Guanghe County and become a pawn on the chessboard.

Due to the issue with Sun Zhaolun, Chen Fang and Zhou Nongxin have conflicts.

Next.

Let Zhou Nongxin recommend him to become the head of the Old City Renovation Project, thereby creating a basis for conflict with Peng Guoliang.

Once the triangular relationship is formed.

The three forces will start competing against each other.

No matter which side wins, it is effective for the overall plan.

Either Chen Fang and Zhou Nongxin team up to remove Peng Guoliang, or Peng Guoliang and Chen Fang team up to remove Zhou Nongxin, Xiaxiang City will vacate a crucial position.

From the outside.

No matter who leaves, it appears to be Chen Fang's doing.

It won't affect any other people or matters.

Therefore, it won't arouse suspicion from certain people.

After discovering the anomalies within the Old City Renovation Project.

To protect himself, Peng Guoliang is naturally willing to sacrifice Liu Zhenping to ensure his own safety.

To expose this matter and achieve two goals at once, the planner demanded Liu Zhenping's life.

This was supposed to be the best outcome.

According to their assumptions.

Peng Guoliang would be held accountable, and Chen Fang would smoothly fall into Jiang Chuo's hands, thus clearing all obstacles to the plan. But they didn't expect Zhong Xiqian had already been secretly prepared by Chen Fang as a shield.

Li Weiyang sacrificed himself.

To ensure Chen Fang's safety.

Thus, their "frame-up" plan failed.

After all the commotion.

No one was able to fix any of the three key figures.

Instead, Jiang Chuo got dragged into the mess.

Under such circumstances, they will inevitably press ahead with their plan.

"What does this all have to do with the arrest of Huang Ken and Yang Pei?"

Shen Zhi asked in confusion.

Chen Fang sighed deeply.

And said, "Huang Ken and Yang Pei both broke the law knowingly. They have been able to act recklessly for so long due to Zhou Nongxin's protection. Unexpectedly, they will interrogate these two overnight, and when they can't withstand the pressure, Huang Ken and Yang Pei will expose Zhou Nongxin, thus vacating his position."

"Are you saying they will target Zhou Nongxin? That guy has done quite a bit for them."

Shen Zhi asked with some disbelief.

Chen Fang let out a cold laugh and said, "That's the fate of a pawn. When things go well, they can be used to take out other pawns. When things turn, they can also be sacrificed for the advancement of other pawns."

"Exactly, these matters are child's play to them. The injuries on me were ordered by my brother personally."

As Hou Jingjing said this.

Everyone was stunned again.

Hou Jingjing told everyone that a few days ago, her father Hou Jidao and her older brother Hou Yuanzheng were coming to Jiangdong Province. Upon hearing the news, she insisted on coming along.

There was no other option, Hou Jidao finally agreed.

But after arriving at the hotel.

Hou Jidao and Hou Yuanzheng "disappeared."

Hou Jingjing sensed something unusual.

And started looking everywhere.

Finally, she found traces of Hou Jidao and Hou Yuanzhe in a small courtyard.

Through the door.

Hou Jingjing overheard quite a bit of inside information about this matter.

But she was still found out.

She was locked up on Hou Yuanzhe's orders.

Afterwards, Hou Jingjing kept persuading her father and brother not to go through with this. After all, this matter was too dangerous for the family.

But both Hou Jidao and Hou Yuanzhe were resolute.

They paid no heed to Hou Jingjing's persuasion.

Having no other choice, Hou Jingjing threatened to report them and thwart their plans.

Hou Yuanzhe then ordered his men to take Hou Jingjing out of Jiangdong Province.

On the way to the airport.

Hou Jingjing seized an opportunity and escaped.

She drove all the way to Guyang City.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang interrupted her and asked, "Why did you go to Guyang City instead of coming directly to me? You know I'm in Xiaxiang City."

Hou Jingjing paused and said, "If I came here directly, my brother would surely think I was coming to find you, and then they would certainly take surveillance measures against you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang understood.

After escaping to Guyang City.

Hou Jingjing quickly found the location of Zhong Xiqian's company.

But before she could find Zhong Xiqian, she was discovered by people chasing her, and they didn't hesitate to shoot to capture her.

Thus, Hou Jingjing managed to escape, but after being shot she was hanging by a thread, and if she hadn't run into Zhong Xiqian, she would likely have lost her life.

"How ruthless, even targeting their own little sister's life. Do these people have any humanity left?"

Su Lu'an, who had been silent, sighed.

Chen Fang sneered.

And said, "Never mind their sister's life, for the sake of profit, they can even sacrifice their own parents, their own children. What does a sister's life count for in comparison?"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone fell into silence.

After quite a while.

Guan Qingyao asked, "Shouldn't we do something? Mr. Shangguan will arrive in Xiaxiang City in less than a week, and in three days, Jiang Chuo will be inaugurated. By then, whatever we do will be too late."

"We could find a way to notify Mr. Shangguan. As long as he doesn't come, this matter won't occur."

Zhong Xiqian said.

"No, we cannot notify Mr. Shangguan. He must come to Xiaxiang City, and their plan must go through. Only then can we completely eliminate the Hou Family's influence."

Chen Fang said.

Upon hearing this.

Everyone turned their gaze to Hou Jingjing.

To eliminate the Hou Family's influence completely, would she be willing?

Hou Jingjing said nothing.

But her expression was quite complex.

"Jingjing..."

Chen Fang called out.

Hou Jingjing immediately said, "You don't need to worry about me. When my brother's men opened fire on me, my heart was already dead. I've seen through that so-called family."

Although this was her thought at the moment.

Everyone could sense Hou Jingjing's pain.

While Chen Fang and the others were discussing their next steps.

In a secret manor's reception hall in Jianning City.

Hou Jidao sat in the center, leaning on a cane.

His brows furrowed, his face troubled.

Appearing to be waiting for something.

At this moment, the door creaked open.

Hou Yuanzhe hurriedly entered.

Hou Jidao quickly asked, "Any news on Jingjing?"

Hou Yuanzhe shook his head and replied, "We have checked almost every hospital in East River Province but found no trace of her."
