According to the normal plot,
Hong Qian's surprise attack on Zhang Cheng would not be swallowed by Zhang Cheng, who would definitely engage with Hong Qian's men in a real fight.
Then there would be a large-scale bloodshed.
The city would initiate an accountability mechanism.
As the first responsible person in Changming County at the time, Li Duming would either be dismissed or demoted. Whichever it was, there was no good outcome for Li Duming.
Sun Shenru, who was on a research trip outside, would return to Changming County to take charge at the earliest opportunity.
He would successfully resolve this bloody event.
Without Li Duming's obstruction,
and with Lv Yifeng's support from the city, it was not impossible for Sun Shenru to move up a level and assume the top position after this event.
It was just a pity,
Chen Fang saw through the plan from the start.
Working together with Zhang Cheng, they set a trap within a trap.
