Chapter 448: Tripartite Confrontation

The story has developed to this point, and we must mention the political landscape prior to Chen Fang's arrival in Guyang City.

The last mayor, Ma Huai, ruled over a city divided amongst three factions.

The first faction was led by the Municipal Party Secretary, Xu Jianfeng.

Xu Jianfeng was a student of Wulan City's Deputy Party Secretary, Zhao Yiping.

His success today was all due to Zhao Yiping's support.

Backed by Zhao Yiping and as the top leader, Xu Jianfeng's faction was not weak.

The second faction was headed by Mayor Ma Huai.

His main general was Deputy Mayor Meng Zheqing.

Meng Zheqing was the secretary of Lin Duangxiong, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Congress. Lin Duangxiong had also served as Wulan City's Party Secretary, so with such a background, the strength of Ma Huai's faction was undeniable.

Following that was another group outside the three main forces, led by the then Minister of Organization, Xue Bo.
