Chapter 2637 It's Rare to Be so Innocent Like You

The secretary handed Xia Anlan his coat with both hands, picked up his briefcase, and opened the door: "Mayor, you haven't eaten well these days, do you want to have a midnight snack tonight?"

Xia Anlan thought of the midnight snack made by Xiao Ai, and he didn't know how long it would take to eat it.

He shook his head: "No."

On the way home, it was late at night and there were fewer cars on the road.

The secretary hardly spoke all the way today, and the car was too quiet.

Finally, it was Xia Anlan who spoke first: "Why don't you speak today?"

The secretary quickly replied: "I think it's too late, you've been busy all day, and you need to rest well."

Xia Anlan smiled, forget about this kind of lie in front of him.

"You have been with me for a long time, remember not to dodge your eyes before lying next time."

The secretary quickly lowered his head. The mayor's eyes were too sharp, and he could see this. He felt that he had no secrets in front of Xia Anlan.

Xia Anlan asked him: "Do you feel today that my approach is not much better than the underworld?"

The secretary quickly shook his head: "I... don't mean that."

He did have this idea. Although he sympathized with the experience of the eldest daughter of the Xia family and felt that it was normal for the mayor to be so angry, is it really good to treat a woman with such cruel means?

Xia Rushuang is indeed guilty, unforgivable, and extremely evil, but she should be punished by law, why use lynching?

The secretary has never seen Xia Anlan so cruel before, yes, it is cruel.

Xia Anlan looked at the street lights outside the window and smiled: "It doesn't matter whether there is or not."

The secretary mustered up the courage to say: "Mayor, I... I just think that even if Xia Rushuang is guilty, isn't it better to let the law judge her? You are doing this... beyond your rights. You may feel relieved, but... this will not have a good impact on you. If it is really exposed, your prestige will be affected."

Xia Anlan glanced at his secretary: "You surprised me today. I didn't expect that you can say such naive words even though you have entered the political arena. It is really rare."

The secretary blushed and scratched his head. The mayor's decision was not a good one.

Xia Anlan lowered the car window a little, and the cool breeze blew in. He was a little sleepy at first, but suddenly he became much more awake. "Power is like this wind. If you hold it, you can control the power. If you can't hold it, you will be blown away. In this world, there is no legal right. The so-called legal is a term imposed by those who control this social order."

"Moreover, you have to be the one who controls this social order. Do you know what my dream was when I was young?"

The secretary was stunned. Xia Anlan changed the topic too quickly, and he could hardly keep up: "What is it?"

Xia Anlan told the secretary: "Before I was 15, my dream was to be a university professor, teach and educate people, and pass on poetry and books to my family. Later, it was because my sister had an accident that my outlook on life probably changed at that time. I told myself that I wanted to be the most powerful person. I want to go up and reach the highest place, so that I can better protect the people I care about."
