Chapter 1354: Chapter 1355: An Yiqing’s Counterattack (5)
Zhao Zhenxing was still in shock, with a string of numbers and photos flashing before his eyes and mind. He knew very well that if these things were leaked, Jinyin City would certainly be turned upside down!
"Miss An, may I ask you a question?" Zhao Zhenxing looked at An Yiqing with complexity in his eyes, his attitude becoming more respectful.
"Go ahead," she replied.
Zhao Zhenxing took a deep breath, "I want to ask Miss An, why did you choose me back then?"
"Well, I’ve said before, the reason I chose you is the same as the reason you chose to trust me."
"But Miss An, there are many officials in Jinyin City, and I’m not the only one with ambition and ideals." Zhao Zhenxing was always confused about this issue.
An Yiqing stared at Zhao Zhenxing for a long time, seeing confusion, persistence, and contradiction in his eyes.
With a low laugh, light flickered in An Yiqing’s eyes, "Chief Zhao, do you know when I started noticing you?"
Zhao Zhenxing shook his head, indicating his confusion.
"When I planned to expand my business to the South, the first choice was Jinyin City. From that time, I began secretly investigating the power distribution in Jinyin City. I can clearly tell you, from the time you entered the official path to every move you make now, I know even more clearly than you do! Of course, it’s not just you, I have the information of all the officials in Jinyin City in my hands. Don’t look at me like that, I’ve never thought about controlling Jinyin City, I just wanted to keep a few more trump cards for myself."
Zhao Zhenxing was almost scared to faint by An Yiqing’s words; what concept is it to have all the information of Jinyin City’s officials in her grasp? If An Yiqing were a foreign spy, she could leak the entire details of Jinyin City within minutes!
At this moment, Zhao Zhenxing couldn’t help but secretly feel fortunate for An Yiqing being An Muyun’s granddaughter, and lucky that she hadn’t gone astray since childhood. Otherwise... the consequences would be simply terrifying!
"Miss An, may I boldly ask, were these materials helped by Third Young Master Guh...?"
"No, Ah Lin didn’t help me, I obtained these things with my own abilities. Chief Zhao, I An Yiqing have never had any ambitions, everything I do is just to protect my family, loved ones, and friends. You are a person of character, I believe you should understand. The reason I chose you is because you have a sense of integrity in your heart. You may not be a model official, but you know what officials should do. You have your principles and bottom line, you have your beliefs, that’s the reason I chose you. Do you understand now?"
Zhao Zhenxing stared blankly at the calm young woman before him, she’s about the same age as his daughter, yet possesses a mind and wisdom different from ordinary people. Over the years, Zhao Zhenxing asked himself if he’d seen numerous big figures, but none could be like this woman, making him thoroughly convinced.
"Miss An, rest assured, I will handle this hard drive beautifully!"
An Yiqing smiled satisfactorily, "Alright, I await Chief Zhao’s good news."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, during these three days, An Yiqing lived carefree, but some people were restless.
Shao Xing considered many things in these few days, always feeling something was off in his heart. The bomb sent by Xuanqing Sect hadn’t achieved the desired effect, Yuyuanzhai was still operating normally, and An Yiqing was lively residing at the Yu Family.
What’s happening in between? Could it be that An Yiqing hasn’t found out about his and Xuanqing Sect’s mischief? Why is there no movement until now?
Shao Xing irritably pulled off his meticulously tied tie, exhaustedly leaned back in his chair, gently massaging his temples.
At this moment, the secretary suddenly rushed in flustered.
"Director Shao, something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!"
"Why are you so flustered? Are you reincarnating?!" Shao Xing was already irritated, and the secretary’s outburst worsened his mood.
"Dire— Director, something terrible has happened!" The secretary couldn’t care less about this; he was already frightened out of his wits by the news he just received!
’What exactly happened!’
"Just— just now we received news from Xuanqing Sect that someone leaked all the dealings between Xuanqing Sect and Jinyin City officials over the years to the top! The big shots found out and are furious, they’re sending people to Jinyin City to investigate immediately!"
Shao Xing’s head exploded with a "buzz," causing him to involuntarily step back a few paces. He took a deep breath, then moved forward in several strides and grabbed the secretary’s collar, "What did you just say?! Say it again!"
The secretary couldn’t care less about Shao Xing’s gritted teeth now, stammering as he repeated the earlier words, "Someone exposed all the transactions between Xuanqing Sect and the officials to the top, the big shots are already furious, they’re sending people to investigate now!"
Bam——
Shao Xing violently pushed the secretary to the ground, picked up his phone and car keys, and rushed out.
He dared not think what would happen if the big shots got angry and really sent people down to investigate, what would happen to Xuanqing Sect and the Shao’s!
What he and Long Zaitian did, was enough to send him to his death!
No matter who it is, he absolutely cannot allow this to happen! Absolutely not!
When Shao Xing drove to Xuanqing Sect, the place was already chaotic. Many high-level members within the sect had faces as gloomy as water, some flipping through the files in their hands anxiously, while others frowned, smoking.
At the head of the conference room sat a dry, thin elder man with white hair dressed in a black sports suit, expressionless, with a middle-aged man sitting to his right. The man had a clean, white face, a square-shaped face, wearing a white shirt and pants, holding a feather fan quite out of place with modern times.
These two people are the most important figures in Xuanqing Sect, Sect Leader Long Zaitian and strategist Chiang Yu!
