This situation is quite a blow to Zhang Hongyang.

In officialdom, those who know, know.

What's more, Zhang Hongyang doesn't have any way to fight back yet! At best, he can have Xie Peng's drone group keep a close watch on Liu Zhizhong, determined to get some serious dirt on this bastard.

The pity is, Xie Peng's drone operators are working while getting paid, but they can't produce any good results. Still, the money has to be spent and the team has to be maintained!

That night, feeling oppressed and humiliated, after his anger subsided, Zhang Hongyang had a sudden idea.

He immediately called Xie Peng to his home and personally ordered: All this time, your drone team hasn't captured any substantial dirt on Liu Zhizhong. Can't you come up with some other idea?

Xie Peng was a bit frustrated and said, "Brother Yang, this bastard is meticulous in his actions; it's really hard. But we're persisting, so don't be anxious! I used to be impatient too, wanting to ruin him, but now I'm not..."

"You're teaching me how to act?"

Zhang Hongyang looked displeased, knocking on the table.

"I wouldn't dare, just worried that Brother Yang might act impulsively, which would be bad for our big plan. It's all for your own good! Don't be angry, I'm the person you personally cultivated, always considering you!"

Seeing Xie Peng's trembling appearance, Zhang Hongyang inexplicably felt more comfortable, saying, "I'm not really angry, just that Liu Zhizhong made me feel humiliated today. You don't know, this bastard..."

Right then, Zhang Hongyang recounted the phone conversation with Liu Zhizhong.

Xie Peng clapped his thigh, "This bastard, he really is inhuman! He's hogging the opportunities to curry favor with the Beijing big shots all by himself? Leaving no chance for us? This scum, is he even human? He's not human; he's an animal..."

After this tirade, Xie Peng felt relieved himself, making Zhang Hongyang feel better too.

Finally, Zhang Hongyang said, "Looking at it this way, continuously monitoring Liu Zhizhong with drones isn't effective; trying to get him is quite difficult."

"Brother Yang, there will always be opportunities. This scum is also a thief and will show his hand eventually."

"No, I have a new idea now."

"Ah? Brother Yang, you're amazing, tell me, I'm all ears!"

Xie Peng's Haba Dog-like state was certainly likable.

Zhang Hongyang lit a cigarette, saying, "At present, Liu Zhizhong and Hamuer, they're both cunning old foxes; hard to get their dirt. However, your drone team of eight can't just idle around every day; let's change the target!"

"Oh? Change to whom? Is there anyone in Shanan County more worth tracking than Liu Zhizhong?"

Zhang Hongyang raised an eyebrow and glared, "Yes, heh heh..."

"Ah?"

"Listen, starting today, have your team focus on the members of the Shanan County Committee, except for me, Liu Zhizhong, and Hamuer; monitor the rest 24/7 in turns. I don't believe none of these guys have any dirt! Once we get hold of it, we'll be grabbing them by the balls, heh heh... By then..."

Zhang Hongyang raised both hands in the air with an arrogant gripping gesture, creating quite a scene!

Xie Peng was stunned, then his face lit up, "Great! Brother Yang, that's brilliant, such a clever move! If we can't get them, we start from the edges?"
