Chapter 574: I Am Just a Deck of Cards

Xu Mengda called me to the provincial capital, naturally for important arrangements.

As soon as Duanmu left, he signaled me to close the door. We looked at each other for a long time, one sitting on the sofa and one in a wheelchair, before Xu Mengda spoke slowly.

"Chen Feng, do you understand why I invited you to the provincial capital?" He looked at me, his expression serious, which surprised me a bit.

Xu Mengda's image in my heart had always been a scholarly gentleman, speaking slowly and doing things slowly. Just like his love, it was also slow.

I had never seen such a serious look, so I sat upright, waiting for him to speak.

Xu Mengda said, "Teacher Xue is doing well abroad, and called me yesterday, hoping I would go abroad too."

I clapped my hands and said, "Great. Brother Xu, on one hand, you can treat your body abroad; the medical level abroad is much higher than in the country. On the other hand, accompany Teacher Xue so she can be at ease."

Xu Mengda smiled faintly, made a smoking gesture, and said, "You can smoke, it's okay."

I took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "Brother Xu, want to try?"

He shook his head and said, "I quit ten years ago." He looked at his legs, then at me, and sighed, "If I go now, wouldn't I be adding trouble to Teacher Xue? Her studies are intense; if she has to spend energy taking care of me, I won't feel at ease no matter what."

I smiled, "Since Teacher Xue wants you to go, she naturally has her arrangements. Brother Xu, you can go with peace of mind!"

"Can I be at ease?" Xu Mengda sighed long and said, "Not to mention anything else, just this unclear car accident, is it really an accident?"

I was shocked and asked, "Is there an article inside?"

Xu Mengda laughed, "Chen Feng, to say you are simple, you are more refined than anyone. To say you are refined, the matter is clearly in front of you, and you can't see the way inside?"

I shook my head, looking innocent, "Brother Xu, I really don't understand."

Xu Mengda seemed a bit irritable. He asked for a cigarette, sniffed it under his nose, crushed it in his palm, and let the tobacco shreds fall from his fingers.

"The car accident in Hengyue City was premeditated. The purpose was to put me to death."

"Who has such great courage?"

"Everyone has it. If this were on you, you would have it too." Xu Mengda looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile, "If someone blocks your way to promotion and wealth, would you put the other party to death?"

This question was asked suddenly, and I wasn't prepared for it. Under his question, I was actually stunned for a long time.

Xu Mengda smiled, "Of course, you Chen Feng might not go to extremes, but someone wants me to die. If I die, nothing will happen, and the world will be peaceful."

The more I heard, the more confused I became, and the more shocked I became. From Xu Mengda's words, I felt he was going to tell me a heaven-shaking secret, and this secret was inextricably linked to me.

"Let me ask you, when did the Qilin Villa in your Chunshan County appear? Can a person without power or influence do such a big thing? What is even more suspicious is, why do so many government officials go to Qilin Villa?"

I was stunned by his questions, completely not knowing how to answer him.

"Actually, I was also curious. After asking, I felt the water was very deep. You know I am a person who likes to test the water. I originally wanted to see clearly and leave, but I didn't expect to step into it, and it was out of my control to want to come out."

I nodded in thought, not interrupting him with a single word.

"Let me tell you, when you were still the Secretary in Suxi Town, I had already waded into this muddy water. This is also why I wanted to take the planning of your relocation celebration activity. To tell you the truth, taking your job not only didn't make money, but I also had to subsidize a lot." Xu Mengda smiled, "You Chen Feng are my nemesis, I am just willing to stick to you."

I clasped my fists in salute, "Thank you, Brother Xu."

"Okay, long story short, I'll tell you the specific story when I have time. Let's talk about the things at hand first."

"Is there anything at hand?" I asked tentatively.

"Yes, and it's a big deal." Xu Mengda let me serve him a cup of tea, took a shallow sip, and said, "About your destination."

My heart tightened, and I waited for him to continue without saying a word.

"Originally, the old man wanted to put you by his side, and I meant the same. You know, the old man is disappointed in me, but he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, as if he would be a very failed person if he didn't have a successor in his life. I said you were my brother, and the old man took pains, adjusted your file, and found many people to understand you."

I asked nervously, "How is the situation?"

"When the old man was about to move to adjust you, the Provincial Organization Department said you already had a destination."

"Is that so? I don't even know it myself, and I haven't received any notice." I shouted like a grievance.

Xu Mengda said slowly, "Vice Provincial Governor Lin wants to transfer you to the Provincial Public Security Department, and talked to you, right?"

I hesitated, nodded, and said, "Indeed talked, but I didn't agree. Brother Xu, you know, my major doesn't match, and I'm a useless person even if I go."

"Exactly, people want to abolish your martial arts." Xu Mengda laughed coldly, tapping the armrest of the wheelchair, "Poor Chen Feng, still kept in the dark, right?"

A chill ran through my heart. Who wants to abolish me? Vice Provincial Governor Lin? If it were really him, even if I had the ability to ascend to heaven, I could only wait for death! When did I offend him? I am a nobody, in his eyes, I am just a blade of grass, he doesn't need to spend energy and strength on me at all.

I smiled falsely, "Brother Xu is joking, right? I am nothing, making it so complicated."

Xu Mengda looked at me coldly for a long time and said, "Originally it wasn't complicated. If a woman named Su Ya didn't appear to petition, there wouldn't be these things later. That is to say, my car accident wouldn't have happened."

"Is that so?" I was shocked, "What does Su Ya's petition have to do with me?"

"It has a lot to do with it!" Xu Mengda said with a solemn expression, "I won't hide it from you, I went to Hengyue City just to find this woman named Su Ya! But people seemed to know my actions like the back of their hand, so I had a car accident."

"How did it get involved with you again?"

"Because I became a stumbling block on his way forward."

"What do you mean?"

"It's simple. I am a person who reports grievances and reports hatred. Someone harmed me and lost the agency of the highway advertisement, so of course I won't let him go."

"Who is this person?"

"You don't need to know now." Xu Mengda took another sip of tea and said, "Now let's discuss your destination."

When Xu Mengda said this, I felt very uncomfortable. He is neither a cadre of the Organization Department nor my leading superior. He is now a businessman, and a businessman having such great interest in someone else's official career is clearly not a good thing.

I smiled pretentiously, "The organization will consider these. It's useless for us to think about it, don't you think?"

Xu Mengda raised his eyebrows, "Not necessarily."

"But I can only wait for the organization's order now."

"Exactly. The procedure is the same, and the things are the same." Xu Mengda smiled, "Your father-in-law doesn't want you to work in the provincial capital."

"Can he shake the organization's decision if he doesn't want to?"

"Of course he can't shake it. However, if he wants to stop it, he still has great power."

I felt anxious. I didn't expect that a small person like me would move so many people's hearts. To tell you the truth, cadres of this level in Central Province can grab hundreds or thousands of them by reaching out.

"The situation now is that the old man wants you, Vice Provincial Governor Lin also wants you, but your father-in-law doesn't want to let you go. Therefore, things have been dragged until now, just waiting for you to express your position."

"What position should I express?" I asked suspiciously.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I'll wait for the organization's decision." I still said high-sounding words. Xu Mengda is testing me, I can't leak the bottom to him.

"Cunning!" Xu Mengda smiled, "No wonder so many people are watching you. You guy, you are really a fox, very slippery."

I shouted grievance, "Brother Xu, I am speaking from the heart."

"Okay, even if it's from your heart." Xu Mengda sighed lightly, "Chen Feng, it's because I see you, upright and responsible. So I am willing to be brothers with you."

I smiled without saying a word. Xu Mengda's words made me feel very useful. I am indeed a person who hates evil like a foe, and can't bear to see weak people being bullied. In the bottom of my heart, there is always a very soft place that reminds me of the feeling of heartbreak from time to time.

"You just follow my method. One day, you will have unexpected gains." Xu Mengda stared into my eyes, "I will go to the United States after I arrange you. But I'm not going to Teacher Xue's place, I want to stand up, I won't come back if I can't stand up."

I was shocked again; there were too many things that shocked me tonight.

I felt like a chess piece, being moved around on the chessboard by others, without any power to resist. It was as if I were a deck of cards in someone else's hands, and how to play was controlled by others.

I couldn't resist, and I couldn't resist.

I sighed, "Okay! I listen to Brother Xu's arrangement."

Xu Mengda smiled with satisfaction, "I didn't misread you."

I smiled, "Brother Xu loves me too much."

After the two of them praised each other, they both felt incomparably false, so they looked at each other and laughed at the sky.

After saying goodbye to Xu Mengda, I felt much more relaxed. The stone that was originally pressing on my heart seemed to loosen, and I found that I was worrying about nothing.

I didn't implement the work, but there were so many stories behind it, which was something I never expected.

No matter whose deck of cards I am, I am a deck of cards after all. When the cards are played, the one who gets hurt is the one who plays the cards, and it will never be me.

Sitting in the car, I whistled happily, took out my phone and called Gan Lu.

I don't want to stay in a hotel tonight, I want to go to the beauty's house, stay in the same room with the beauty, and read books at night with red sleeves adding fragrance. ===== CHAPTER 575 =====
