No, I got it. But what about the actor called Wu Jiawen? Should we get rid of him together? "
Jiang Hongbin felt a chill in his heart and asked, gritting his teeth. Everything he had was given by his uncle. If Jiang Zhongze was defeated, he would have nothing. Now he could not retreat.
"He is just an actor. Let's ignore him for the time being. We will deal with him later. The most important thing now is to shut that b * tch's mouth."
The coldness in Jiang Zhongze's eyes became more intense, but his tone was so calm that it made people's hearts palpitate.
It was absolutely a lie to say that he did not hate Wu Jiawen, who had cheated on him. But compared with his future and future, this hatred was far less important than shutting Zhang Manting's mouth forever.
"Okay, I got it."
Jiang Hongbin was not a fool. Although his uncle did not say it clearly, he knew the severity of the matter from his uncle's words.
After hanging up the phone, he thought about who would be the most reliable person to handle this matter. After all, this was a murder, not a chicken or a dog.
In addition, he was a relative of Zhang Manting. Once the matter was exposed, he was likely to be listed as a suspect. It was not easy to get himself involved in this matter by asking an outsider to handle it.
"It is very likely that someone is adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. The news will not spread so fast and so wide."
In a room not far from Jiang Zhongze, Governor Du sat on the sofa, sipped tea, listened to Secretary Xu's report, and soon made a judgment.
After all, although this news was eye-catching, it happened in Ninghai after all. Even if it was spread on the Internet in just a few hours, it was impossible to spread so fast and so widely, almost covering all the provinces in the country. This was somewhat unusual.
Secretary Xu nodded and agreed with this inference. Thinking of Ding Ning's tone on the phone, his eyes flickered and he said, "Could it be him?"
Governor Du narrowed his eyes and leaned on the sofa for a long time. He did not speak and was lost in thought. Although Secretary Xu did not say who he was, he knew that he must be referring to Ding Ning.
"I don't think so. Although he dislikes Jiang Zhongze very much, according to my understanding of him, he disdains doing this kind of thing. After all, this kind of thing can only smear Jiang Zhongze's face and make the leaders have a bad impression of him, but it is not enough to shake his foundation."
After a long while, Governor Du said slowly. In fact, he was not sure, but he just hoped that it was not Ding Ning who did it. After all, Ding Ning's image in his mind was relatively bright and upright, and this kind of means of secretly promoting public opinion was a little too despicable and sinister, which he did not like.
"I don't think so."
Secretary Xu adjusted the leg of his glasses and observed Governor Du's expression. Then he plucked up his courage and said, "In Governor Du's eyes, this may be just a love news that seems to be entertainment gossip and cannot shake Mayor Jiang's foundation and status. But in fact, we can see many problems from the photos obtained from the human search. As far as I know, Jinnian Year of War is one of the top five luxury villa areas in Ninghai, and the price of the lowest villa is nearly one billion. Zhang Manting's car looks very ordinary, but it is actually a modern Yakos worth more than one million. In 2005, when Korea held the APEC Conference, Yakos was the official car of the leaders of 21 countries. This car is very popular in Korea, but it is not well-known in Shenzhou, which is in line with its low-key characteristics."
Seeing that Governor Du showed a thoughtful expression, but did not interrupt him and continued to listen, Secretary Xu also felt a little more confident and continued to speak with fervor and assurance. "And the clothes of Zhang Manting in the photos. My wife is a fashion fan, and she likes to read fashion magazines the most. Under the influence of what I see and hear, I also know some luxury clothing brands. If I am not mistaken, Zhang Manting is wearing the latest limited edition Prada winter trench coat that was just released in last year's French fashion show, which costs more than 800,000 yuan. The ornaments on her neck are Swarovski crystal ornaments, her shoes are Chanel, her bag is LV, and her wristwatch is Baojiali. All of them are world-renowned luxury brands. The total value of her clothes will not be less than five million yuan."
Governor Du was dumbfounded and his eyes were full of disbelief. Although he was the Governor of Ninghai and his wife was born in a powerful family and was used to all kinds of luxurious scenes, he still could not imagine what it meant for a woman to wear clothes that were worth five million yuan. "She is really studded with diamonds!" Governor Du thought.
"This is only one photo. Take a look at this one."
Secretary Xu clicked on the mouse and changed to another photo of Zhang Manting that had been secretly taken. "The clothes are from Gucci, the wristwatch is from LV, the bag is from Chanel, and the necklace is from Saint Laurent … Look at this one … this one … and this one. All of them are from luxury brands, and there are almost no duplicates. What does this mean? It means that Zhang Manting doesn't just wear one or two sets of such luxury brands. These are only what we can see from the photos. The lipstick, skincare products, and makeup she uses are definitely not ordinary products. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to match her outfit."
After Secretary Xu finished speaking, he peeped at the silent Governor Du and found that his face was frighteningly livid and his eyebrows kept trembling. Knowing that what he said had worked, he immediately closed his mouth, looked down, and waited for Governor Du to make a decision.
In fact, he was very clear that Governor Du had scruples in his heart. In order to maintain the unity and stability of Ninghai's leadership, although he disliked Jiang Zhongze very much, he did not intend to intervene at this time. Otherwise, others would say that he was adding insult to injury and would leave the impression that he was not tolerant and did not know how to unite his comrades.
He deliberately pointed out these things because he was cooperating with Ding Ning. He knew that Ding Ning hoped that Governor Du would take action. After all, Ding Ning and Jiang Zhongze were like fire and water. Once Jiang Zhongze really removed the title of "acting" from his position as the leader, it would not be a pleasant thing for both Governor Du and Ding Ning's future development.
Of course, he also had his own thoughts. He could not follow Governor Du to be his secretary for a lifetime. If Governor Du went to Yan Jing in the future and sent him to the grass-roots level for training, as the saying went, a county official was not as good as a local official. With Jiang Zhongze, the mayor, suppressing him, he would never have a chance to rise again.
Therefore, since he became Governor Du's secretary, for the first time, he did not maintain a high degree of agreement with Governor Du. Instead, he pointed out some things that ordinary people could not see objectively and fairly.
Governor Du himself did not intend to intervene in this matter and wanted Jiang Zhongze to deal with it himself. After all, such a scandal would discredit the leader, and if it became a big deal, it would not look good for him as the governor.
However, Zhang Manting's extremely extravagant life had completely irritated him. The value of her clothes alone was an astronomical figure that an ordinary family could only hope for after working for a lifetime. It was obvious where the money came from.
"Are you sure that the things she is wearing are really worth that much money?"
Although Governor Du had already made up his mind, he still stared at Secretary Xu sharply and asked. Since he had decided to investigate, he must ensure the authenticity of these things. Otherwise, if he really reported it to the big boss and made a mistake, things would be troublesome. He would definitely be regarded as a narrow-minded person who did not take the overall situation into consideration.
After all, politics was very complicated. If he did not have irrefutable evidence, he would be extremely immature in politics if he rashly applied to investigate a provincial-level cadre.
Secretary Xu's heart trembled, and he felt that all his thoughts had been seen through. But now, he could not retreat, so he nodded firmly. "With her identity, the people she contacts are all socialites. It's impossible for her to wear high-quality fake goods to make a fool of herself. If Governor Du is worried that I'm wrong, you can find some experts who know the industry to evaluate it."
"Experts can't see it. After all, these are just photos, and we must see the real thing. As for the villa and the luxury car, if the property rights are not under Jiang Zhongze's name, even if everyone knows what is going on, if we can't find out the source, he can use the excuse that he borrowed it from a friend as an excuse to clear his name."
Governor Du withdrew his gaze and said with a serious face.
With his current identity and status, he had to consider far more comprehensive and complex things than ordinary people. If he applied to investigate Jiang Zhongze only because of a moment of righteous indignation, it was very likely that he would get into trouble instead of catching the fox.
"I see. It's getting late, so you should take a rest first."
Secretary Xu nodded repeatedly as if he suddenly understood, and looked at Governor Du with admiration in his eyes. "This is political wisdom and experience!" Then he turned around and walked out.
He had always thought that he had learned a lot from Governor Du and was mature enough in politics. But at this moment, he realized that he was still very young and had a lot to learn.
Although Governor Du did not say it clearly, he had already understood what Governor Du meant. He would never take action before getting irrefutable evidence. Therefore, although he did not say it clearly, he had undoubtedly pointed out the way for him and asked him to arrange the work of collecting evidence in advance.
This was a sign of Governor Du's trust in him, and also a means to protect himself. Once something went wrong, as a secretary, he would become a scapegoat, but he had no complaints. Instead, he was full of excitement and thrill.
A secretary's job was to solve problems for the leader at the critical moment. Otherwise, how could he enjoy the privilege of relying on the leader's power and become the most trusted person around the leader?
Who could he find to do such a thing?
After returning to his room, Secretary Xu pondered for a long time and looked embarrassed.
"Right, since Ding Ning doesn't want someone to become a regular, he can't just do nothing, right?"
Secretary Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he gave a sly smile. He took out his mobile phone and called Ding Ning.
After Ding Ning briefly told him what had happened, Ding Ning readily agreed. After hanging up the phone, Secretary Xu proudly hummed a little song, thinking that he was really a material for an official career. He had just applied what he had learned on the spot, and he had become much more mature in politics.
If he investigated it in person and the news was leaked, even if he was willing to take all the responsibility, people would inevitably associate it with Governor Du because of his identity.
But if Ding Ning investigated it himself, nothing would happen. Even if the news was leaked, it would have nothing to do with Governor Du.
But he did not know that Ding Ning was also smiling like a little fox at this moment. The reason why he deliberately called Secretary Xu was to test Governor Du's attitude. But now, the result he wanted came.
In fact, even if Jiang Zhongze removed the "Governor" from his title, he would not pose any threat to Governor Du. At most, he could form some kind of restriction on him and achieve a political balance.
But for Ding Ning, this was definitely not good news. If he kept an enemy who was in charge of economic development, as long as he secretly played some tricks on him, he could make the development of various industries under his name fall into a difficult situation. Even if Governor Du wanted to help him, it would be difficult for him to do so. After all, he was in charge of human resources, not economy.
