Chapter 919: Chapter 919: Jiang Haiqiu’s Crisis
Jiang Haiqiu saw Ji Yang pondering and continued, “Old Lin, although he hasn’t entered the team yet, he’ll inevitably join sooner or later. He’s not on great terms with the Gao Family. He once fought with Gao Huaiming’s third uncle for position, and although he eventually won, the resentment remains. If he gets into the team, I doubt we’ll have peaceful days in the department. He’s placed Wei Xiaoli in our section, essentially to keep tabs on me. I have to be very careful now; if he gets any leverage on me, he’ll start with me to target the Gao Family.”
Ji Yang truly hadn’t considered such a situation.
Recently, he had been watching certain people, especially Zeng Xiaoyan, but had overlooked this woman named Wei Xiaoli.
Reflecting on what he had observed, Wei Xiaoli had always behaved well, with no outrageous actions. Once, Ji Yang had watched her closely and saw she genuinely returned home, where her husband seemed to treat her very well.
Unexpected!
Ji Yang truly hadn’t anticipated such maneuvers.
“Is her husband unconcerned about her affairs?”
Upon hearing this inquiry, Jiang Haiqiu snorted, “Once people enter officialdom, their thoughts often change. Her husband is a coward and obsessed with politics. He used to be a regular cadre, quickly promoted to section chief, all with Old Lin’s help. Old Lin is quite an interesting individual. If you don’t investigate, you’d never know. I stumbled upon his ways accidentally. He enjoys playing this game. After meeting female graduates, he uses his power to make them his women, then finds some men to marry them, and employs certain methods to have those men take care of them for him.”
Ji Yang, having seen a lot, couldn’t believe such things happened and asked, “Don’t these women’s husbands mind?”
“I initially wondered about this too. It was only through investigation that I found all these men have one problem—they’re impotent. They simply can’t do those things. Just imagine the utter despair when a man can’t perform. Consequently, their desire for power and money magnifies infinitely, and Old Lin negotiates with them at this point, almost guaranteeing no refusal.”
Ji Yang was somewhat dazed, realizing he hadn’t played the game nearly as intricately as Old Lin.
Thinking about Old Lin’s situation, Ji Yang admitted that this old man truly knows how to play. He’s got power, influence, and no shortage of money. With such arrangements, those men automatically become his subordinates, their wives become Old Lin’s women, and everyone’s needs are met without words.
Seeing Ji Yang digesting these matters, Jiang Haiqiu said, “Old Lin is extremely discreet. If I hadn’t specifically watched him, I really wouldn’t have discovered these things.”
Ji Yang glanced at Jiang Haiqiu, thinking he should be more cautious of this woman going forward. She had discovered things nobody else had, truly a perceptive person.
Of course, Ji Yang wasn’t worried she’d uncover his own secrets; his Divine Sense was so strong he could easily detect anyone tracking him.
“What do you need me to do now?” Ji Yang asked a question.
Jiang Haiqiu said, “Evidence. If we can get a hold of Old Lin’s evidence, taking him down would resolve all crises.”
Jiang Haiqiu had discovered Old Lin’s deeds, but clearly hadn’t managed to acquire any evidence against him, so she wanted Ji Yang to act.
“I’ll do my best!”
Considering Old Lin’s character, Ji Yang was indeed willing to take action.
