C667 Five Cases of Broken Night

Outside the window, the wind is clear and the moon is bright. On the surface of the lake, the lotus leaves are green and the lotus flowers are fragrant.

Even though Lin Bai had already left for a long time, the tea in his cup had already turned ice-cold and no longer had any fragrance to it. But at this very moment, sitting in the private room, facing the river flowing with ten acres of lotus flowers, he had no intention of enjoying the scenery. At this moment, his heart was in complete disarray from Lin Bai's previous words. [Is it possible that I have reached a point where my knowledge has been turned upside down?]

He did not understand, nor did Xiao Yun in the residence. However, Xiao Yun did not understand why the mayor was quietly staying in the mansion like this. Even when Lin Bai suddenly left, he did not show the slightest emotion on his face.

From the moment he started being a driver for River Stream, he knew that this mayor was not someone who could live leisurely. Usually, at this time of night, he would go through documents in his study at home.

As a driver, he shouldn't ask about his boss, but he was curious. What did that young man say that caused the river to linger in the mansion for so long, even breaking the rules that had been in place for so many years?

After an unknown period of time, the sky turned dark and the neon lights by the Lake of Mos lit up. Yet for some reason, when this scene fell into the eyes of the river, there was a hint of eeriness and even the five-colored light turned pale.

Looking at these scenes, Lin Bai's last words were still lingering in Jiang Liu's heart!

"If you listen to me, you will be able to keep Jin'ling safe, and you will also be able to make a great contribution. Taking a step up is not impossible, but if you don't listen, then the city will fall into chaos and you will become the target of criticism in the hearts of a portion of the people!"

The letter still did not believe him. This was a choice that had been placed in front of River Stream! No matter which one he followed, there was always a risk!

"Damn it! I'll give it my all! Whether I live or die, I'll see how it goes this time!" After muttering to himself irresolutely for a long time, Jiang Liu grabbed the cup of tea in front of him, which no longer had any fragrance and drank it all in one gulp. After which, he clenched his fists and spoke in a deep voice.

If his words were heard by the chauffeur outside the house, he would probably be shocked. He had followed the flow of the river for so many years. No matter what happened, no matter how great the pressure was, the gentle and refined flow of the river really did not have time to swear.

While the driver was bored to death and staring at the lotus leaves on the lake, River Stream finally walked out of the house. Before the driver could open his mouth, River Stream said in a deep voice, "After driving back to the city government, I'll call Secretary Guo and ask for the City Construction Bureau's Leader and the Secretary of the Cultural Relics Bureau to come to my office. I have something to announce!"

When the driver heard Jiang Liu's words, he didn't dare to hesitate and stepped on the throttle, rushing towards the Jin'ling City government building!

Having followed the river for so many years, he clearly understood what it meant to hold a meeting in the middle of the night. In the dead of night, everyone was resting. If it wasn't for the earth-shattering incident, no one would have rushed over. However, as he looked at River Stream's expression, Lin Bai's face appeared in his heart for no reason. He wondered if this matter was related to that young man.

Secretary Guo, who was on the night shift, saw River Stream rushing back to the building and was stunned. He couldn't understand what was going on that would cause this iron-masked mayor to have an anxious expression. When he heard from the driver what Jiang Liu wanted him to do, he became even more shocked. It seemed like something must have happened to Jinling. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gathered so many leaders in the middle of the night.

After the call, when the leaders were about to arrive, Secretary Guo carefully rushed to the door of the mayor's office and knocked twice, afraid that she would disturb the leaders' rest.

To his surprise, the door opened as soon as he knocked. When he entered the office, he sucked in a breath of cold air. This office no longer had even the slightest trace of elegance from before. The room was covered in smoke, and the stench of smoke wafted through the air. It was as if there were a dozen or so smoking ghosts in the room.

"Mayor Jiang, the leaders are almost here. Shall we go to the conference room?" Secretary Guo asked carefully.

He extended his hand, wanting to put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, but when he looked down, he found that the ashtray was already filled to the brim with cigarette butts. There was no gap at all for him to extinguish them.

"Mayor Jiang, it's better if I do it. You should hurry and attend the meeting." Seeing this, Secretary Guo accepted the cigarette and smiled.

Although her face was full of smiles, Secretary Guo's heart was in turmoil. From the moment he arrived at the city government office, he knew that Mayor Jiang had never smoked a single cigarette in his entire life and he didn't like the smell of smoke at all. Yet, he was smoking so many cigarettes in his office right now.

The leaders of all levels were already gathered in the meeting room, and many of them were even drowsy. Being woken up in the middle of the night was really not a pleasant thing, they all wanted to hear what Mayor Jiang wanted to do, so they were in such a hurry.

However, when Jiang Liu walked into the office, although the expressions on the faces of the crowd remained unchanged, they were all stunned in their hearts. These people knew that the river never smoked, but when they walked into the meeting room, they could smell the smoke. There must be something wrong with this situation, but there hasn't been any trouble in Nanjing recently. How did Mayor Jiang become like this?

"Old Jiang, what's going on? You brought us all here at night, and you don't usually smoke, how did you become an old smoker today? " At this moment, a voice that was neither cold nor hot came from a corner of the meeting room. Those who dared to call River Stream this way were none other than Tian Keqin, the secretary of Jinling City's Municipal Committee.

Jiang Liu clasped his hands at the people in the meeting room and said in a low voice, "I'll apologize to everyone for rushing here so late in the night." However, I did ask you guys to come over because there is something I need to discuss with you. Everyone has probably heard that someone is planning to demolish the chess board, so I came over to ask for your opinion. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. In particular, the two heads of the City Construction Bureau and the Cultural Relics Bureau had their brows knit together. Victory was a huge issue, and if they recklessly went to build it, it would bring about a huge incident. This matter was not wise at all. However, they did not dare to open their mouths and only cast their gazes at Tian Keqin.

However, Tian Keqin was a local from Jinling, and before the river came, he was Jinling's first deputy mayor. According to common sense, after changing positions, he should be the secretary of Jinling city committee and should be promoted to vice minister level, but somehow, the deputy minister level position was snatched by Jinling's mayor, Jiang Liu!

The secretary of the city council was not at the deputy minister level, but the mayor was at the deputy minister level. If this matter got out, it would become a huge joke. Moreover, the meaning was extremely clear, which was the same as saying that Tian Keqin could only stand on duty one more time. The next time they switched teams, he would be transferred to River Stream.

Because of this matter, Tian Keqin had always had a prejudice against the river flow. He had long wanted to find a reason for the river flow to wear his pair of small shoes, but he had always suffered because of the river flow.

When Xiao Yun had been in and out of the city council compound, he had more or less heard about the demolition and construction of the Shengqi Building near the worry lake. He had been staying in Jinling for so many years, how could he not know that the number one house owner of worry lake had a rich background. However, he was afraid that this matter might involve something so he did not rashly appear and answer Xiao Yun.

In his opinion, the river must have received some benefits from Xiao Yun as a result of Jiang Liu's sudden words. That was why he had suddenly agreed to the plan of dismantling the Chess Tower and had even called a meeting with all of them.

"If a fly doesn't bite a seamless egg, wouldn't you, Jiang Liu, also have a time like this? Let's see how I'm going to discipline you!" Tian Keqin sneered after muttering to himself, "Nonsense!" Was the Victory Pavilion a place that could be demolished? "That's one of Jinling City's facades, Old Jiang. You've been in Jinling for so long, why don't you understand this little thing?"

"This matter needs to be handled, even if it isn't done, it needs to be done. I didn't bring you here to discuss it with you, but to inquire about your proposals for demolition and construction!" Jiang Liu acted as if he didn't hear what Tian Keqin had said. He glanced at the officials in charge of the municipal planning and continued in a deep voice, "Write down the terms and conditions, and write them down for me!"

When Jiang Liu's words came out, everyone present was even more astonished! One had to know that in their eyes, although this river had an iron face, it didn't have an iron hand. When doing something, there was always a deal and no pressure. But how did it suddenly become so powerful? There was no room for reversal in his words.

"I don't agree! I voted against it! " Tian Keqin became angrier upon hearing these words. He was sure that there was an unspeakable bond between Xiao Yun and Jiang Liu. He glared at them and said angrily, "Old Jiang, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you took someone's money. I'm telling you, this Nanjing is not your place!"

"I also want to warn you, don't rely on your seniority! Although you are from Jinling, I am at the deputy division level, and you are only at the main hall level. You don't need to have a lecturing face, I do not need you to teach me how to do things! " Jiang Liu said angrily. His words did not leave any face for her!

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. Although they were well aware of the matter between Jiang Liu and Tian Kaiqin and despised the despicable behavior of Tian Kaiqin, they had never thought that Jiang would be so angry without caring about his past image!

Breaking the rules!" In just one night, this river had broken five of the strict rules!
