Chapter 322 Two Drafts
On Dunhuamen Road, in Bai Jinjun's mansion, when An Rushong got out of the car, he saw Bai Jinjun, dressed in casual home clothes, and his assistant Yu Yuanlong, standing on the entrance steps of the main gate of the villa, looking far towards the southwest.

Seeing him coming, Bai Jinjun withdrew his gaze and waved at him from a distance as a greeting.

An Rushong did not respond. He turned around and looked towards the southwest, imitating what Bai Jinjun and the others had done before.

The moment he looked over, he suddenly discovered that the night sky in the southwest was illuminated red, which clearly meant that there was a fire somewhere again.

After a few quick steps, An Rusong arrived at the steps of the villa entrance. He nodded to Yu Yuanlong first, and then said to Bai Jinjun: "Where is the fire again?"

"Chonglimen," Bai Jinjun waved at him, motioning him to go into the villa to talk, and answered concisely.

"Chongli Gate?" An Rushong was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously, "Hasn't the fire at Chongli Gate been under control? When I came here just now, I deliberately went around from the South Gate. I clearly saw that the fire on the city wall had been under control. How come it has suddenly..."

Feeling incredible, he turned around and looked towards the place where the fire was coming from.

"I called and asked just now," Bai Jinjun put his hand on his shoulder and said, "They said that there were embers that were not cleaned up, so it reignited."

When he said this, his tone was calm, but An Rushong always felt that this guy was gloating between the lines.

Well, an old building that is a national treasure caught fire, and the firefighters came and put out the fire, but they didn't put it out completely, which led to the fire rekindling and a second fire. This kind of bizarre plot is something that can't be arranged in fantasy movies or TV series.

"Let's go inside and talk," Bai Jinjun said, squeezing An Rushong's shoulder hard.

An Rushong turned around and looked in the direction of the flickering fire again, then followed the other person into the villa.

Unlike the last time I came, this luxurious villa seemed a little deserted tonight. The spacious and luxurious living room on the first floor was empty without a single visitor. Of course, this might also be because it was a little late.

"Please sit down and have something to drink?" Bai Jinjun took An Rushong to the sofa in the middle of the living room, found a single sofa for himself, pointed to the seat opposite, and said.

"A glass of water," An Rushong nodded towards Yu Yuanlong and said, then bent down and sat down in front of the sofa.

"I want a cup of coffee," Bai Jinjun also glanced at Yu Yuanlong and said.

The latter responded and turned to walk in the direction of the living room leading to the tea room.

"Do you know Church Leonard?" Bai Jinjun suddenly lowered his voice and asked after Yu Yuanlong's figure disappeared at the door of the tea room.

An Rusong's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm. He looked at the other person and said, "Of course, the NSA's newly appointed director of East Asian affairs has launched some cooperation with NGN on behalf of the NSA, with the intention of..."

He had just said this when Bai Jinjun interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "You don't need to tell me the specific details of the cooperation. No, I should say you don't need to tell anyone. The reason I asked this question is because Commissioner Yuan submitted a report to Mr. Qingxi today that touched on this aspect, so I paid a little attention to it."

An Rusong nodded. He knew that the "Commissioner Yuan" mentioned by Bai Jinjun was referring to Li Minbo's close friend Yuan Shixun, who had been a staunch supporter and ally of Li Minbo over the years. When Li Minbo was the mayor of Seoul, Yuan Shixun was the deputy mayor. During the time when Li Minbo was running for president, Yuan Shixun was an executive member of a board of directors of an international environmental organization in South Korea.

Now, with Lee Min-bo's successful presidential campaign, Won Shi-hoon will become the new director of the National Intelligence Service of South Korea. In other words, he will become the head of South Korea's intelligence organization. In the past period of time, Won Shi-hoon has begun to get involved in the work of the National Intelligence Service, and the report he submitted was obviously obtained from the National Intelligence Service.

It is true that South Korea is a lackey of the United States. As an intelligence agency of the US military, the NSA will certainly not exchange information with the National Intelligence Service of South Korea on specific intelligence business. But then again, NGN is a South Korean Internet company after all, and An Rusong himself is also Korean. Since the East Asian Affairs Agency of the NSA needs the cooperation of NGN, whether it is reasonable or for the smooth development of the work, Leonard needs to communicate with the National Intelligence Service of South Korea. This is also the most direct reason why Yuan Shixun was able to get the news. In fact, for An Rusong, he knew that his cooperation with Leonard, or with the NSA, could not be kept secret from Li Minbo forever. Therefore, he had been mentally prepared, which was also the reason why he could remain calm in front of Bai Jinjun - the most critical point is that his cooperation with the NSA and Leonard will not infringe on any interests of Li Minbo. On the contrary, this cooperation will increase his weight in Li Minbo's mind.

"In addition," Bai Jinjun leaned forward, picked up a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, handed it to An Rusong, and said, "Mr. Qingxi asked me to remind you that there is no problem in cooperating with the NSA, but it is still necessary to be vigilant. On the one hand, you should pay attention to keeping confidentiality, and on the other hand, you should be more careful, after all."

As soon as he said this, Yu Yuanlong came out of the tea room carrying a tray.

"In short, you have to be more careful," Bai Jinjun obviously didn't want his assistant to know about this. He changed the subject and said, "As for why I asked you to come here tonight, there are mainly two things."

While he was speaking, Yu Yuanlong had already approached with a tray. He put the tray on the table, and handed the cups of water and coffee to the two of them respectively, then stood behind Bai Jinjun with his hands behind his back.

"Both of these things need to be pushed to the public through NGN's news pop-up window," Bai Jinjun continued, "One is about the fire at Chongli Gate tonight. I will prepare a press release and you can push it out tomorrow."

An Rushong nodded. He would not refuse such a request. Since he had chosen to stand on Li Minbo's side, the tools in his hands would naturally serve the other party. Otherwise, how could he get the other party's support?

"The other one is a press release about Mr. Qingxi setting up a 'Power Takeover Committee'," Bai Jinjun continued. "This press release..."

As he spoke, he turned slightly to the side. At the same time, Yu Yuanlong, who had been standing behind him, stepped forward and handed an envelope to him.

"You can choose to push it out later tomorrow," Bai Jinjun handed the envelope to An Rusong and said, "The first press release should be as popular as possible. Of course..."

He smiled and said, "The burning of Chongli Gate is such a big event that it will definitely become a hot topic. There is no doubt about that. As for the second press release, there is no need to deliberately operate it. People who need to pay attention to it will naturally pay attention to it."

The so-called "Power Takeover Committee", as the name suggests, is a special agency that will take over the leadership of various important institutions in South Korea for Lee Min-bo after he takes office as president. In the general sense, the members of the committee will be the main leaders of various government agencies in South Korea in the future.

Although An Rushong has not seen the contents of the press release in the envelope, he speculates that there will definitely be a list in the press release, which will announce the list of main members of the regime takeover committee, and in this way will gain influence for Li Minbo's ruling group.

"Okay, that's it," Bai Jinjun said after a few simple words. He picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Regarding the press release of the Chongli Gate fire, I will arrange for Yuanlong to personally deliver it to you before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. As for the rest, it depends on your own arrangements."

Seeing the other party pick up the coffee, An Rusong knew that he was sending him away. The other party called him over in the middle of the night, said less than two words, and didn't even give him time to drink water, and was ready to let him go, which seemed unreasonable. However, An Rusong was not so superficial and would not have such thoughts. After all, these two things must have been arranged by Li Minbo himself.

In addition, it is definitely impossible to send a press release like this to him via email, as that is not safe, so calling him over in the middle of the night was a last resort.

An Rushong did not stay in the villa any longer and tactfully got up to say goodbye. Bai Jinjun did not try to keep him but personally sent him to the door.

Holding the envelope containing the press release in his hand, An Rusong was patient and did not open it to read it. In fact, at this moment, he felt a little embarrassed. Bai Jinjun had made it very clear that the fire at Chongli Gate must be hyped up.

Although he has not seen the notice yet, considering the nature of the accident, if nothing unexpected happens, Lee Min-bo's target will definitely be the Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs, which has always supported President Roh, and Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs Park Myung-jae, who is a staunch supporter of President Roh.

The Ministry of Administrative and Home Affairs is a large organization. It was formed by the merger of the Ministry of General Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior. It is also the predecessor of the so-called "Ministry of Public Administration and Security". The National Police Agency and the Fire and Disaster Prevention Agency are all directly under this organization. Therefore, it is a truly powerful department.

After Lee Min-bo assumed office as president, he not only wanted to take control of this department, but also made a large-scale personnel adjustment in this department in an effort to keep it firmly under his control. From this point of view, it is not surprising that he used the Sungnyemun fire to target the Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs.
