Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

As the saying goes, peering at a leopard through a tube, one can glimpse the whole picture.

From just this tiny bit of information, Wang Xiaohua sensed the scent of danger.

Previously he had verbally promised Liu Xinwen that when the Discipline Inspection Commission came to the county for inspection, he would submit the criminal evidence against Xiao Xueqing and file a real-name report on her corruption and criminal acts.

But in reality, he had only agreed verbally.

In his heart, he did not truly intend to do so.

Everything was to placate Liu Xinwen.

Liu Xinwen quite obviously did not trust Wang Xiaohua very much.

In other words, the Shangang Town Real Estate Project was a backup move Liu Xinwen left for himself?

If, when the Discipline Inspection Commission arrived, he discovered Wang Xiaohua was disobedient, he would use this project to make trouble, thereby ruining Wang Xiaohua's future and dragging Xiao Xueqing down with him!

Pondering it carefully, there really was such a possibility!

How the Shangang Town Real Estate Project was established, Liu Xinwen certainly knew inside out.

After all, his daughter Liu Yumeng worked inside Shangang Town and had a fairly detailed understanding of this matter.

He definitely knew that although this project was led by the Town Government, Wang Xiaohua had participated in it!

Most importantly, the project was able to advance because Wang Xiaohua, this establishment insider, brought in his second brother Wang Erhai, which then persuaded Zhang Sheng to let Zhang Sheng enter the game.

From the perspective of the Shangang Town Government, this would be seen as Wang Xiaohua having done a great good deed.

After all, they had finally managed to launch a real estate project that could create considerable revenue for the Town Government and drive the town's economic development.

But if viewed from another angle, such an operation committed a major taboo!

Wang Erhai is Wang Xiaohua's own older brother!

Isn't this equivalent to a direct money-power transaction?

In the eyes of outsiders, this is Wang Erhai using his connection with Wang Xiaohua to obtain the development rights to this project!

If Liu Xinwen insisted on biting down and making an issue of this, even if it went to the Discipline Inspection Commission, Wang Xiaohua would have no way to defend himself even with a hundred mouths!

If Wang Xiaohua had a problem, then the matter of his exceptional promotion earlier would also be dragged out and placed under a magnifying glass; pulling up the radish brings up the mud, and naturally Xiao Xueqing, who operated that matter back then, would be implicated as well!

And for Liu Xinwen to make this matter absolutely foolproof, he naturally had to ensure his own relatives did not dip their fingers into the Shangang Town Real Estate Development Project!

That is why the scene of Liu Lianqiang suddenly taking the initiative to give up the building materials supply appeared!

Wang Xiaohua quickly sorted out the whole sequence of events, while Wang Erhai was still in a fog.

Actually, not only Wang Erhai; even the clever Niu Chunsheng, and even the cunning Zhang Sheng, could not see clearly the power struggle hidden within.

After all, they are people of the business world; although they have some intersection with officialdom, they are ultimately not in the same ecological niche.

Not in the same ecological niche, and many things become a single leaf blocking the view of the mountain — impossible to see.

Can't even see it, so how can one see through it?

"Third Brother, what exactly is going on? Why would Liu Lianqiang take the initiative to give up a duck that's already at his mouth? Help me analyze this!"

Wang Erhai asked Wang Xiaohua this question at this moment.

Wang Xiaohua did not answer immediately, but countered with a question:

"Where are you right now? Is anyone else with you?"

Wang Erhai's heart gave a start; from Wang Xiaohua's serious tone, he judged this matter was not simple.

Glancing at Zhang Sheng and Niu Chunsheng, Wang Erhai finally told the truth:

"I'm at Huangsheng Hotel right now, eating together with Boss Zhang and Uncle Chunsheng."

Wang Xiaohua asked again:

"No one else?"

Wang Erhai said:

"No, just the three of us."

"Are you sure no one else could overhear?" Wang Xiaohua asked this further, showing just how cautious he was.

Wang Erhai said:

"Shouldn't be overheard by anyone else, right? This is Boss Zhang's hotel, Boss Zhang, you say, isn't it?"

Seeing Wang Erhai's expression was off, Zhang Sheng's heart also sank to the bottom.

He hurriedly expressed assurance:

"Rest assured, this private room is my dedicated room for receiving guests, very private, no one else will hear!"

Wang Erhai said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Third Brother, Boss Zhang says the privacy here is very good, no one will overhear."

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Then put it on speaker, let Zhang Sheng and Uncle Chunsheng listen together."

Wang Erhai was baffled, but still did as Wang Xiaohua instructed.

He turned on the speakerphone function on his mobile phone.

To Zhang Sheng and Niu Chunsheng he said:

"Boss Zhang, Uncle Chunsheng, my Third Brother says he has something to tell you."

"Boss Zhang, Uncle Chunsheng, can you hear me speaking?"

"I can hear you, what's up Xiao Hua?" Niu Chunsheng replied busily.

Zhang Sheng's face, on the other hand, turned incomparably heavy.

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"This matter is hard to explain clearly to you all in a short time; to put it simply, it is the struggle between Liu Xinwen and Xiao Xueqing. The overflowing aftershocks of this power struggle will implicate many people on the periphery, including me, including Uncle Chunsheng you, including General Manager Zhang!"

Zhang Sheng exclaimed in surprise:

"No way, don't scare me, is it really that serious? Why haven't I heard any wind of it?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Five years ago, I had just finished the college entrance exam. Didn't Xiao Xueqing organize a fundraising event for you entrepreneurs? Each of you entrepreneurs donated anywhere from several hundred thousand to over a million. You donated money and also gained certain benefits from it, while Xiao Xueqing distributed the majority of the money to consolidate her power network. As for me, I only received a mere three hundred thousand in scholarship money! Liu Xinwen intends to make an issue of this to bring Xiao Xueqing down!"

Zhang Sheng frowned:

"Xiao Hua, this I don't understand. Liu Xinwen using this to bring Xiao Xueqing down, isn't that equal to helping you get revenge? Besides, we only donated money, we didn't embezzle. Even if Xiao Xueqing falls, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

Wang Xiaohua, however, said:

"General Manager Zhang, are you truly unaware, or pretending to be unaware? If I recall correctly, General Manager Zhang, you were the one who donated the most back then. Xiao Xueqing took your money — are you sure she didn't channel benefits to you? In Liu Xinwen's eyes, everyone who donated back then is bound together with Xiao Xueqing by interests. Do you think after he topples Xiao Xueqing, he won't purge you people who are bound to Xiao Xueqing by interests? You must know the County Town's cake is only this big. General Manager Zhang, you've long monopolized the lion's share of real estate; the Liu Family must have had opinions on you for a long time, right?"

Zhang Sheng's heart gave a sudden jolt.

"Hiss!"

He couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air!

He had to admit, Wang Xiaohua's words were very reasonable!

Although he had business dealings with the Liu Family, the relationship was not stable.

Since the Liu Family let Liu Lianqiang do the building materials business, they would naturally also want their own people to do the real estate development business!

And entering the County Town's real estate development business — Zhang Sheng was very obviously their Liu Family's biggest competitor!

However, Zhang Sheng still didn't understand:

"Xiao Hua, what you say all makes sense, but I still can't figure out why you would stand on Xiao Xueqing's side?"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Because compared to Xiao Xueqing this outsider, Liu Xinwen this local Brahmin — the harm he poses to the County Town is clearly greater. Besides, Xiao Xueqing is about to leave, while the Liu Family will most likely stay rooted in the County Town forever. Weighing the two harms and taking the lighter, the reason I do this is merely to help the ordinary people of our County Town strive for a sliver of benefit."

Wang Xiaohua paused:

"So, I need General Manager Zhang and Uncle Chunsheng to help me do one thing. This matter must be done as soon as possible, and it must be kept secret!"
