Upon careful analysis, it seems that the underlying message is primarily a warning. Apparently, my deeds in Liangxi have become too well-known. I've just arrived in Minan and the bigwigs at the provincial government are already reminding me. Given Jia Minfu's position and experience, he isn't blind to Qiao Yiren's intentions.
I'm fully aware that my arrival pertains to the complex situation in Wanghai. Complexity implies inevitable disputes. If I were to replicate my actions in Liangxi City, it would certainly give the bigwigs at the Minnan Province Committee a headache. If Nie Zhenbang wasn't aware of the situation in Wanghai, he probably wouldn't suspect a thing. However, at this moment, he shot an insinuative look at Jia Minfu. It seems that Governor Jia has also caught wind of the events at Wanghai. His subtle hint likely held another meaning - that it's not yet time to claim victory and I mustn't act rashly.
