At 8:58 a.m., the magnates of Dong hai's officialdom were seated in the municipal committee office building meeting room, preparing for the Secretary's tête-à-tête meeting.

Among them, there was no Bai Guotao.

"Gentlemen, Secretary Bai is unwell and will not attend today's meeting, therefore, I will preside over it," announced Dong hai's second-in-command, casting a slow glance around the room as the clock struck nine.

In the meeting room, upon hearing this, the other magnates were first taken aback, then they understood the situation as clear as day.

Bai Guotao being unwell was a pretext; his actual distress was real!

As magnates of Dong hai, they had learned through special channels that the investigation against Ye Wenhao had been withdrawn, and he would continue to serve in the Southeast Asia Special Zone.

To the average person, this news might seem trivial, but to them, with their keen political insight, it meant a great deal.
