Of course, Sun Shu was not as shallow as those people; he knew the true facts of the matter, naturally distinguishing whether Qin Fang and Su Xiaoxiao were genuinely expressing their feelings or if the two of them had put on a show together.
However, it was enough that they understood these matters themselves; there was no need to explain anything to these unrelated people. The few of them just exchanged smiles.
"Brother Sun, it's getting late. You handle things here, and Xiaoxiao and I will head back first. When we have ti, let's sit together and have a drink…"
The matter temporarily ca to a close. Although Qin Fang still didn't quite understand why, besides money, Lu Ming had specifically added antiques to the stakes of his bet with Sun Shu. Seeing that Lu Ming had lost such a large sum of money, it was likely difficult to manage his turnaround fund, perhaps this mystery would also be revealed eventually!
Nevertheless, this was no longer much related to Qin Fang; after all, he wasn't based in Yangcheng, and knowing this wasn't particularly necessary.
"Alright, leave this to …"
Sun Shu nodded, glanced at the frustrated Lu Ming and the pitiful driver who was scolded harshly, and flickered a hint of disdain in his eyes. His face wore a faint smirk, yet he still took the initiative to see Qin Fang and his group off.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Fang led Su Xiaoxiao back to the Porsche, personally seen off by Sun Shu. Just as Qin Fang was about to start the car to leave, he finally rembered sothing.
"Brother Sun, I've just rembered, I reckon it won't be long before we can drink together in Ninghai…"
Qin Fang said cheerily.
"Er, what do you an?"
Sun Shu was slightly taken aback. He had been quite busy lately, and likely wouldn't have any ti to visit Ninghai, so he didn't understand what Qin Fang ant.
"Go back and ask your uncle. He might have already received the news…"
Qin Fang didn't elaborate further, only gave a brief hint before calling out and quickly drove away from the area, heading towards the hotel.
"Ask my uncle? Ninghai… could it be…"
Sun Shu was very surprised, yet piecing together Qin Fang's words, Qin Fang's particular identity, it seed the answer was about to reveal itself.
Undoubtedly, as Sun Shu's strong-backing uncle, Secretary Sun seed to be transferring to serve in the provincial city of Ninghai. Whether it was a lateral move or a promotion was vague from Qin Fang's description.
Yet, from the tone of Qin Fang's voice, it was most likely a promotion…
This indeed was information Qin Fang had inadvertently received from Tang Feifei. Now, his father-in-law-to-be, Secretary Tang, had just beco the provincial governor. Although not the kind managing personnel, the movent of so city leaders surely was known in advance, not to ntion the Tang family's strong influence in the Capital City.
Qin Fang hadn't paid much attention at the ti, so he didn't rember it very clearly. He had just recalled that the struggle between Sun Shu and Lu Ming was actually a contest for the primary positions in Yangcheng, which reminded him of this matter.
With Secretary Tang confird as the provincial governor, the top position in Ninghai was vacated. The mayor next in line was to succeed. The information he received was that this position was likely to be taken over by Yangcheng's top leader, Secretary Sun…
Ninghai being a provincial capital and a vice-provincial-level city, the mayor's rank was already at the deputy minister level. He certainly could be considered promoted, and Qin Fang was, in a way, congratulating him in advance.
Of course, this was also Qin Fang doing a favor for Sun Shu, incidentally pulling so strings. With Secretary Tang moving to the provincial level, it was essential to have connections in Ninghai city. Just having Ye Cheng wouldn't be enough; they needed to pull more people into their circle—that was the sensible approach.
Whether Qin Fang did this intentionally or just as a simple favor, that was a matter for the future. Su Xiaoxiao, having won the money, appeared exceptionally thrilled. Her charming, affectionate eyes seed almost enough to lt Qin Fang, particularly as her supple, boneless hand had already quietly slipped contact onto one of Qin Fang's fiercely sturdy body parts.
"Oh…"
Just as Qin Fang was also stirred by the excitent, contemplating whether to drive the car to a secluded road for an open-air liaison, he noticed that the road into the city area had, surprisingly, a police checkpoint inspecting passing vehicles…
"How co there are still police out so late?"
Su Xiaoxiao was quite frustrated by this developnt. The rising ardor had rapidly faded quite a bit, which was indeed very strange.
Her cousin being Sun Shu, the top golden boy of Yangcheng, she vaguely knew so insider matters, but the current scene didn't seem very harmonious.
While there's nothing wrong with police on duty, setting up a checkpoint to check vehicles in the middle of the night was indeed a bit unusual.
"Could it be because of last night's incident?"
The first thought in Qin Fang's mind was this. Given so many had died on the canal last night, the Yangcheng Police Departnt certainly had initiated a city-wide control, but they had co all this way smoothly, only to now encounter a checkpoint; it seed their luck was quite bad...
However, a check was just a check; both Qin Fang and Su Xiaoxiao had completely legitimate identities. Coupled with the ability to call on Sun Shu for help, even if there were troubles, they would likely vanish.
