District 9

The pleasant ringtone of the mobile phone rang. Coco picked up the phone and glanced at it. When she saw an unfamiliar number, she sent herself a text message with the following content.

"Pu Xingquan is likely to be one of the senior officials close to the fifth district."

Keke frowned slightly as she looked at the text message, paused for a few seconds, and then called back, but the other party didn't answer.

Who could have sent this text message? Coco was confused for a moment.

…

Ten o'clock the next morning.

In accordance with the reception procedures, Pu Xingbang made appointments with the nine-district inspection team and the Sichuan government inspection team at the same time to conduct inspections at several large private companies in the important town of Menghan.

To put it bluntly, this kind of activity is a show for outsiders. The media will follow the entire process to record, film, and conduct small interviews. The main purpose is to show the outside world that the Pu Department has officially entered the diplomatic process with Sichuan Prefecture and the Ninth District. , and it will also bring a lot of pressure to the fifth district.

During the event, Pu Xingbang didn't mention anything about future cooperation. He just acted like a tour guide, introducing the situation in the Old Triangle area to Coco, Shen Fei and others.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, when everyone was preparing to have dinner in a private enterprise, Coco said softly to Lin Chengdong: "Look after me while I go to the bathroom."

"Okay." Lin Chengdong nodded and waved to the four attendants.

Coco left the venue, protected by four people, and walked towards the bathroom downstairs. But he had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind: "Miss Yu."

Coco turned around when she heard the sound and saw Shen Fei also following him out without any entourage.

"Is something wrong, Representative Shen?" Coco asked with a smile.

Shen Fei turned around and glanced around, then pushed open the stairwell door next to him, glanced inside first, and then waved to Coco.

Coco looked confused.

"Come here." Shen Fei greeted again.

After Coco hesitated for a moment, he quickly followed.

Everyone entered the stairwell together, and Coco whispered to the four attendants: "Wait a moment."

"Okay." The four of them nodded.

Coco followed Shen Fei down half a flight of stairs and immediately stopped and asked, "Representative Shen, is there anything you can't say in the room?"

Shen Fei looked around the stairwell, and after seeing that there was no surveillance, he continued: "Pu Xingquan came to see me last night."

Coco frowned and looked at him, but didn't answer.

"He told me two things: First, if the Pu clique makes a new choice, he will stand with the ninth district and will support me on behalf of some people; second, he said that many people in the Pu clique headquarters Senior officials all support the Pu faction to make a new choice, so my main opponent is not the fifth district, but the Sichuan government." Shen Fei is very good at summarizing. In just two sentences, he expressed clearly what Pu Xingquan and him were saying last night. Talk about everything.

Coco blinked: "Did you send me that text message last night?"

"Yes." Shen Fei nodded and admitted: "After Pu Xingquan left, I asked the special department at home to help me check some information. Pu Xingquan, like most of the Pu department generals, studied at the Army University in the fifth district. , and he has made remarks about being close to District 5 on many public occasions. And do you know Pu Ming, who was shot by us before?"

"I know." Coco nodded.

"Pu Ming and Pu Xingquan not only have an uncle-nephew relationship, but also have a certain teacher-student friendship. After Pu Xingquan graduated from the Army College of the Fifth District, he trained in Pu Ming's army for two years and always got along very harmoniously." Shen Feiyu explained in detail: "But after Pu Ming died, it was Pu Xingbang who took over the 197th Brigade. After he came, many old officers from Pu Ming's department were gradually transferred away. Later, some people joined Pu Xing The remaining part of Quan’s troops should not be doing as they wish now.”

Coco instantly understood what Shen Fei meant: "You mean, Pu Xingquan is close to the fifth district? Are the words he said to you last night false or a test?"

"Yes, he probably wants us to fight first." Shen Fei nodded.

Coco looked at Shen Fei again: "Then why did you tell me this matter?"

"I thought about it all night last night, and I have been looking for Pu Xingquan's motive for doing this." Shen Fei paused and said, "Logically speaking, he is the son of Commander Pu, and he is a senior general of the Pu Army. Judging from his resume, There are no problems with his personal abilities, experience, and government. But why did he appear so impatient when he came to me this time? Without any foreshadowing or contact, he clearly told me that he would support me and would always support me. Are you implying that the Sichuan government is my main opponent?"

Coco didn't answer.

"I combined the information given by my family and thought about it for a long time before I made a basic judgment." Shen Fei looked serious and said in a low voice: "That's because Pu Xingquan and the Fifth District are anxious. They think the Pu Department is really There is a possibility of making a new choice. In other words, there may be a group of main officials who have different political views from them and support the Ura clique to make a new choice, so they have to protect the market and sow discord and let me and you fight first. , and finally let both of us out before formal negotiations come."

"That makes sense." Coco nodded in agreement.

"But I couldn't guess how they wanted to sow discord, because I chose to pretend to be stupid and didn't continue chatting with him." Shen Fei looked at Coco and said, "But the direction I guessed before, there should be no problem. of."

Coco narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Fei: "Then what is the purpose of telling me?"

"The situation within the fifth district is completely different from what we thought before. Pu Xingquan came to see me as soon as we arrived, which shows that there are great opposing opinions within them." Shen Fei stared at Coco and said, "Keep dragging on. We are likely to be involved in conflicts within the Pu Department, which is not good for us. To put it bluntly, your and my inspection team plus one will only have 40 or 50 people. If the other party has other thoughts, We don’t have any foreign aid at all.”

"Say what you think." Coco replied succinctly.

Shen Fei pondered for a long time and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't wait for them to take action. You and I will join hands and start it first."

"How to do it?" Coco looked at him and asked.

"Li Zhixun, Jiang Taimin is in Menghan." Shen Fei made a gesture of wiping his neck and said in a low voice: "If they two die here, the relationship between the fifth district and the Pu Department will probably completely collapse."

Coco fell into thought.

"Anyway, let's get rid of District 5 first, and then we can fight again. What do you think?" Shen Fei asked bluntly.

"Will the Fifth District fall out with the Pu Department because two policemen who were running errands died?" Coco asked softly, "Isn't this too childish?"

"Normally not, but don't forget, there are people in the Pu Department who support the fifth district, and maybe there are people who support us." Shen Fei said in a low voice: "For example, Pu Xingbang, he should support the Pu Department in making a new choice. That group of people. Getting rid of Jiang Taimin and Li Zhixun may not necessarily cause the Fifth District and Pu Xiazi to completely fall out, but it will definitely intensify the conflict between them, and we just need to wait for the opportunity to act."

…

at the same time.

Pu Xingquan, Pu Sheng, Junsheng, Li Zhixun, Jiang Taimin and others also gathered together to discuss.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Shen Fei to win." Pu Xingquan intervened and said: "If we want the opponent to be eliminated immediately, we still have to find other ways."
