Chapter 1269: Chapter 1224: Facing It Calmly

Just as Nie Zhenbang had anticipated, around eight in the evening, a piece of news began circulating online. It was unclear from which website it originated, but that news started to spread. According to reports, a certain high-ranking official mentioned in the newspapers—full of vigor, with a wealth of experience in governance, and a profound background—is currently serving in a province in the Great Xibei.

In addition, some vague information about Yang Anna, Dong Wan, and Li Lixue was also leaked. To outsiders, it seemed partial and incomplete, like playing the pipa with a half-veiled face. However, anyone with a slight understanding of the system could easily grasp the implied meaning. The information pointed directly to Nie Zhenbang and his associations with Anna and the others.
