Wang Jianshan chose to protect Chen Feng with all his might for three reasons.
First, his daughter genuinely liked him, and had for several years.
If Chen Feng were to die, it would be a great blow to his daughter.
Another reason was that although Chen Feng was a bit reckless and never knew how to bend in the face of major issues, his ability and talent in the political arena were exceptional.
He was undoubtedly a capable individual.
If he could be protected, he would be of immense help to the Wang family of the capital in the future.
It was simply impossible for the Wang family of the capital to rely on their two sons, Wang Zihao and Wang Zishan.
Finally,
Chen Feng had a kind heart and was dedicated to the common people.
It would be a pity for him to be killed by Sun Kai simply for caring about the people.
Therefore, based on these three points, he had to do his utmost to save Chen Feng.
“Elder Wang, thank you for your kindness. As I said before, I absolutely cannot back down this time. If I retreat now, there will only be more people profiting from national disasters in the future. If the country’s leadership only thinks about profiting from disasters, then what hope is there for this country? I am willing to follow the example of Chinese ancients like Tan Sitong, willing to shed blood and sacrifice myself to eliminate bad people and revitalize China.”
Chen Feng said with a sense of martyrdom.
“Chen Feng, Chen Feng, you are good in every other aspect, but you are too uncompromising when facing evil forces. I am truly worried that you will eventually die because of this stubborn personality of yours.”
Wang Jianshan sighed.
“Elder Wang, what you said is very true. My personality is indeed not good, but it is very difficult to change one’s personality. I have come from the grassroots of China and deeply understand the suffering of the common people at the lower levels. To be honest, although China’s economy is developing better and better, the lives of ordinary Chinese people have not improved much. To put it simply, which of the common people is willing to spend dozens of yuan on a cup of milk tea every day? Is it that these common people do not like milk tea? Of course not, it’s that they are reluctant to spend money. The reason they are reluctant to spend money is because they earn little, and there are many expenses, so they have to save. However, American people drink afternoon tea every day. Their afternoon tea is much more expensive than milk tea. The reason why American people like to drink afternoon tea and dare to buy it is not because of American customs, but because American people are rich and willing to spend. People, regardless of their nationality, understand how to enjoy themselves when they have money. China’s grassroots economy is sluggish, and people at the grassroots are reluctant to consume, not because they don’t understand enjoyment, but because they have no money. The common people at the grassroots in China are already struggling, and Sun Kai is still exploiting them with a contagious skin disease. Such heinous behavior, and Sun Kai’s stubbornness, this kind of person must be killed.”
Chen Feng said with a firm expression.
“The logic is sound, but you must understand, for thousands of years in China, who has paid attention to the suffering of the lower classes? Even in modern civilized society, it is proclaimed that we must serve all the working people, but slogans remain slogans. Those who truly live comfortably are only the rich and powerful. Putting these aside, the problem is how to counter Sun Kai. You killed Sun Kai’s own brother, and you are unwilling to seek refuge abroad, so you can only think about how to counter Sun Kai. My suggestion is, if you have irrefutable evidence of Sun Kai profiting from national disasters, I will risk everything and kill Sun Kai with thunderous force, and the Sun family will have no choice but to watch. However, if there is no evidence of Sun Kai profiting from national disasters, even if I want to help you, I cannot.”
Wang Jianshan said earnestly.
“Elder Wang, to be frank, I have evidence of Sun Kai profiting from national disasters. I originally planned to persuade Sun Kai to stop in time. I know that the Sun family is a prominent family in China’s political circles, and their influence is extraordinary. It would be best if I could persuade him. To be honest, even with evidence, confronting Sun Kai directly is a near-certain death. Therefore, if I can avoid a direct confrontation, I will try my best to avoid it. But the problem is that this scumbag, Sun Kai, has no intention of stopping and is even escalating. There is no other way, I can only confront him. Either he dies, or I die. Mingshan City, after finally being freed from the panic of the contagious skin disease and its economy returning to normal, if Sun Kai extends his poisonous reach to the entire China, deliberately spreading the contagious skin disease pathogen, it will be a devastating blow to China’s economy.”
Chen Feng explained patiently.
“Tell me, what evidence do you have of Sun Kai profiting from national disasters?”
Wang Jianshan asked excitedly.
If Sun Kai were to die, the Sun family's influence would be greatly weakened, and their Wang family's influence would correspondingly rise another notch.
“Firstly, the widespread outbreak of contagious skin disease in Mingshan City this time was not accidental but inevitable. It was not natural but man-made. To put it bluntly, Sun Kai instructed his brother to buy the contagious skin disease virus from abroad and deliberately spread it in Mingshan City. Chinese people have a characteristic: they are particularly afraid of death. Therefore, once this contagious skin disease spreads, the Chinese people will obediently be controlled by Sun Kai and his associates. Secondly, the numerous contagious skin disease testing and analysis points in Mingshan City were all contracted out to medical companies under Sun Kai’s banner. Also, the independent small rooms constructed on a large scale in various streets of Mingshan City were also done by companies under Sun Kai’s banner. Furthermore, the so-called special medicine for contagious skin disease was also developed by pharmaceutical companies under Sun Kai’s banner. In short, all industries related to contagious skin disease have been monopolized by Sun Kai. Any fool knows that the contagious skin disease that has persisted for several months in Mingshan City, and aims to continue indefinitely, is a complete conspiracy of the Sun family.”
Chen Feng continued to explain patiently.
“Chen Feng, I find it a bit hard to believe. Can a person, for the sake of money, truly become so depraved and so without bottom?”
Wang Jianshan probed.
“Elder Wang, I didn’t believe it at first either. Therefore, I spent a whole week specifically investigating the ins and outs of the contagious skin disease. The ironclad facts show that Sun Kai has disregarded his humanity for the sake of profit. Elder Wang, look, this is the evidence I have collected…”
As Chen Feng spoke, he handed a thick stack of evidence to Wang Jianshan.
Wang Jianshan glanced over it for ten minutes.
It was one thing not to look, but as soon as he glanced at it, Wang Jianshan’s worldview was shattered.
He had known before that the Sun family acted recklessly for profit, but he had never imagined that Sun Kai would be so brazen, even daring to profit from national disasters so audaciously.
Mingshan City, as well as the higher echelons of power in China, had allocated large amounts of fiscal funds to curb the sudden outbreak of contagious skin disease in Mingshan City, hoping to control it in a short period.
Who knew that the more they tried to control it, the more it spread.
It turned out that it was because of scumbags like Sun Kai.
For the sake of making huge profits from the disaster, they naturally did not want this contagious skin disease to end quickly.
To use a metaphor,
People who buy umbrellas hope that the rain will never stop.
As for many people getting drenched, that was not their concern.
“Chen Feng, this evidence of yours can definitely bring Sun Kai to his death. However…”
Wang Jianshan hesitated.
“Elder Wang, please tell me if you have any good suggestions.”
Chen Feng stated directly.
“Chen Feng, it’s like this. Originally, I intended to personally take action and kill Sun Kai. However, the Sun family has considerable influence within the Chinese military, and although the Wang family of the capital is also influential, our influence in the Chinese military is almost non-existent. Therefore, my idea is, could you step forward, and I will support you from behind? I hope you can understand me; I have to be responsible for the entire Wang family of the capital.”
Wang Jianshan tentatively asked in a low voice.
