In Feng Xueliang's view, Nie Zhenbang was just pretending to be ignorant. Everyone knows that Nie Zhenbang is in Kulin County to keep an eye on the special investigation team of the Atai City Disciplinary Committee. Isn't his purpose merely to serve as a supervisor?
Yet, despite knowing Nie Zhenbang's denial is a mere tactic, Feng Xueliang is rather helpless. It's the protocol. As the director of the Three Public Office, Nie Zhenbang must not interfere with the work of the local Disciplinary Committee. The Three Public Office is only responsible for matters related to the implementation of the Three Public Regulations. Thus, when Nie Zhenbang declared so, Feng Xueliang could find no fault. From this perspective, Feng Xueliang was aware that Nie Zhenbang was unwilling to help or to break his silence.
