Chapter 1418: Chapter 1109: Staying Out of the Matter

Wang Ye frowned tightly and asked indifferently, "Whose people?"

Korokolli shook his head and responded in a muffled voice,

"We haven’t figured it out yet, but the specific operatives came from Car City. I haven’t made a move to arrest anyone yet, for fear of startling the snake. Therefore, I also don’t know who is really behind them.

As you know, our Department’s responsibilities are quite complex, and we have many channels of information, especially those from the underground, which we pay the most attention to.

Just yesterday, my subordinates reported to me that they noticed several individuals from Car City sneakily surveilling Governor Rossiyana’s movements, most likely with ill intentions.

Considering that Chairman Grezlov was in trouble last night, I feel the issue might be quite serious, so I came to report to you in person today.

Whether to arrest them directly or to continue surveillance and wait and see, the decision is yours, Chairman.

These kinds of things, even if spoken over a secure telephone, are not really secure!"

Wang Ye nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice, "There’s no hurry to arrest anyone. Rossiyana’s security force is more than capable. It’s nearly impossible for a few amateurs to do anything to her, and there’s even less to worry about at my Mansion.

If they were to make a move, it might be when Rossiyana is out and the surrounding personnel are more disorganized. I’ll remind her to not wander around for the next few days.

As for arresting them...

Keep a close watch and see if they make contact with the person behind the scenes in the next few days.

However, if you find that they’re about to take action, or are planning to leave because they can’t find an opportunity, just arrest them directly."

Korokolli nodded resolutely in agreement.

After discussing this matter, he switched the topic to the recent strife of the General Election, as the outcome of the General Election would determine the trends in the political arena in the coming years; naturally, someone in his position would have to pay attention.

"Chairman, regarding this General Election, in fact, many people have a question, that is why you haven’t expressed support for Governor Rossiyana?

After all, she is your wife.

Of course, I also know that you, Chairman Grezlov, and Medvedev are good friends.

But..."

But what he did not say, yet Wang Ye understood his implication.

Surely even the best of friends cannot outweigh the position in the Kremlin!

Wang Ye had explained this issue to different people many times, but since Korokolli had asked, he might as well explain it one more time...

After listening to Wang Ye’s explanation, Korokolli still seemed puzzled, but he wisely did not press further, as this matter was not of great concern to him. However, another question was of much more significance to him.

So he tentatively asked again, "Chairman, then... who do you think has a better chance of winning this General Election?"

Wang Ye looked at him with a half-smile and asked back, "What do you think?"

Korokolli scratched his head and said with a naive smile,

"I think...

Perhaps Medvedev has a slightly greater chance of winning, considering he has the support of the Kremlin.

But it’s hard to say; Chairman Grezlov is not to be underestimated either, and with Rilinov’s support, many within our Faction have started to lean towards Grezlov.

Of course, Governor Rossiyana might also be the ultimate dark horse, if you are willing to help her..."

This old fox, after talking so much, basically said nothing at all.

His ultimate goal was naturally to probe Wang Ye’s judgment, as everyone knows that Wang Ye’s judgment is the most accurate!

If he could know the final victor in advance, Korokolli would also start to place his bets early, since everyone wants to be on the winner’s side, and even if they don’t get much benefit, it’s better than being targeted for retribution after someone else takes office...

Even though he would prefer to bet on Grezlov at the moment, if Wang Ye didn’t favor Grezlov, Korokolli would not hesitate to "abandon" Grezlov.

That’s just how politics is...

Wang Ye pondered for a moment, considering how to respond. Korokolli counted as one of the highest-ranking "friends" on his side, whose importance went without saying.

Thus, some more central pieces of information could not be kept from him forever, lest he become disgruntled in the future.

But how to tell him was also a matter of finesse.

Korokolli saw Wang Ye fall silent and wasn’t in a rush, knowing very well that such major matters are unclear even to Wang Ye, and even if he had clarity, he still needed to speak carefully to avoid any trouble.

After a while, Wang Ye raised his head and spoke sincerely, "If you trust me, then for now, stay out of the fray, don’t rashly show support for anyone. Even... for any matters involving the General Election and the candidates, try to muddle through as much as possible, don’t take it too seriously, and especially don’t get sucked in!"

Korokolli was startled and blurted out instinctively, "What about Governor Rossiyana? Like the issue of someone surveilling her..."

Wang Ye replied without hesitation, "The same!"

Perhaps overly shocked, Korokolli’s mouth fell open and he was at a loss for words for a long while.

He had obviously thought of something!

But whether what he thought coincided with what Wang Ye wanted to tell him, that remained unknown...
