Qi Wei wanted to play dumb, yet he was afraid that if things escalated, Jun Chen would come looking to settle accounts with him. It would be one thing if Jun Chen had no idea that he knew; after all, this matter did not originally fall within his jurisdiction. Only when it reached the stage of forced enforcement, when legal weapons had to be employed, would it enter his purview, and for now, it was merely at the stage of contact and communication... The crucial point was that Jun Chen knew he knew, and if Ye Bingqin suffered even the slightest grievance, he would be in deep trouble.
At the same time, Qi Wei did not want to dampen everyone's enthusiasm—it was just an impossible situation.
"Um, Secretary, Governor, please forgive my bluntness, but this matter is difficult to handle, and even more impossible to carry out."
