Chapter 745: Chapter 745: The Abilities of Two Families

Ji Yang naturally did not know that the two families were already preparing to make Shisong County their territory.

After returning to the city, Ji Yang also did quite a few things.

One day, while Ji Yang was in the office looking at some documents, Chu Shuyuan called him.

“What are you doing?” asked Chu Shuyuan.

“Looking at documents in the office.”

“I’m calling to discuss something that I also find a bit confusing.”

“Oh, what is it?” Ji Yang grew curious.

Chu Shuyuan said, “I heard that Shisong County will be separating from Ximu City.”

“What do you mean? Does our country even have such a practice?” Ji Yang was also somewhat surprised.

“It’s not the type of independence you’re thinking of, but more like a form of autonomy.”

“That’s still not right, there are no criteria here that qualify for autonomy.”

“So, the whole situation is fishy, and that’s where it starts getting bizarre. I just heard that local cadre appointments there are managed by the Tenth Bureau. Actually, I just found out as well— the Tenth Bureau has massive power; they can make a lot of decisions. There are many factions within it, and this time it’s the result of two factions cooperating. Everyone is giving them face, so it’s almost a done deal.”

“I kind of understand now, you say it’s autonomy, but in reality, on the surface, it still belongs to the leadership of Ximu City. However, Ximu City secretly doesn’t have much influence over them.”

“That’s about right. Basically, they take care of their own affairs, and they usually follow the city’s decisions in regular work, only deviating in some special cases.”

After thinking about the Tenth Bureau and his knowledge of it, Ji Yang had some guesses.

“I understand.”

“Mmm, this shows that the incoming forces are very strong. Take care of yourself and try not to provoke them.”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yang lit a cigarette, starting to grasp the tremendous influence of the Tenth Bureau.

Initially, Ji Yang had planned to make a good profit with the women through the ancient cultivation sites. However, now with this development, he realized his earlier plans might have issues, as absolute power trumps everything.

No matter how many arrangements he made, none would suffice if they encountered such an unreasonable powerful force.

Before any development, or before understanding the hidden powers, any action would be suicidal.

At this point, Ji Yang felt somewhat apprehensive; he indeed had been walking on a tightrope earlier.

After thinking it through, Ji Yang made a call to Wu Mi.

“Brother, what’s up?” Wu Mi had just come out of the county government.

“Have you finalized the contract?”

“Yes, they wanted to heavily promote it, but we preferred a low-profile approach, so we skipped the fluff.”

“Listen, once the contract is set, send in the construction team, then expose the Longkou situation, spreading the news of an ancient cultivator’s presence.”

“Wouldn’t that attract too much attention? We couldn’t make more money here anymore,” Wu Mi hesitated.

Ji Yang had to explain some of the potential issues caused by their goodwill.

After listening, Wu Mi also expressed her concern, “Will this affect you?”

She always cared about Ji Yang.

“I’m fine; it’s mainly you guys. You’ve made quite a bit here already. It’s time to pull out when necessary. After you guys pull out, go and invest in the other two counties. Those counties also need development. With your capabilities, plus being close to this place, you should be able to make it work.”

“Okay, I’ll get in touch with them.”

Having arranged things here, Ji Yang didn’t want to interfere more. He knew this matter might involve higher levels. While he was not weaker than them, it wasn’t necessary.

Since they were going to reassign the entire cadre there, it was also time for his people to withdraw.

In recent times, more cadres aligned with Ji Yang had emerged, so now his task was to arrange his people as well as possible.

As he thought about these matters, someone came to report that the Gan Family was probably not going to last much longer.

Although he had set up a Formation, Ji Yang hadn’t actually intended to kill the Gan Family members, just to teach them a lesson. Now hearing they were nearly done for, he remembered there were still some people trapped there.

He’d have to secretly rescue them!

Ji Yang could only shake his head in private.

After having Cao Li arrange for an extraordinary car, Ji Yang drove alone towards Shisong County. This time he disguised himself, and his entire appearance was not the same as before, his aura completely hidden.

This time, Ji Yang also wanted to further understand the Tenth Bureau personnel’s situation and whether they had made any discoveries there.
