As the start of the workday approached, employees of the Jiang City County Government gradually arrived.
Upon reaching the County Government, everyone sensed a particularly unusual atmosphere.
...Oppressive, heavy, like the eerie calm before an approaching thunderstorm, shockingly intense to the point that even the least sensitive individuals became aware of it—many were filled with trepidation.
The staff who had just arrived hurriedly inquired about the situation and only then learned what had transpired.
It turned out that rumors had spread about an imminent clash at the upcoming Deputy County Magistrate meeting, where Zhang Kuisan, Ding Biao, Zeng Changyun, and Sun Yan, the four Deputy County Magistrates, planned to target County Magistrate Lan Qianrong.
