Inside the provincial committee meeting room, at this moment, although everything seemed as usual, with all the standing committee members of the provincial party committee either whispering in small groups or sitting alone in silent repose, the sensitive could still detect an eerie atmosphere pervading Hongjiang Province.
In the past two days, issues related to housing prices and real estate regulation had caused a major stir within the province. That such tumult could occur without the involvement of at least one of the standing committee members of the provincial party committee was something nobody was willing to believe.
The president-cum-editor-in-chief of both the "Hongjiang Metropolitan Daily" and the "Hongjiang Evening News" were no fools; they would not have published such sensitive material without the backing of an influential figure.
