Now that things had come to this, it was impossible for Director Tian to handle it alone. He knew very well that Yu Fei's confrontation with Secretary Song was definitely not the work of Xiao Zheng alone. Minister Jin must be behind it. Otherwise, how could a mere deputy department level official dare to challenge a deputy national level big shot?
This was not a lack of political awareness, but courting death!
After getting on the car, Director Tian stared at the police car "escorting" Song Sicheng. Then, he slowly took out his phone.
Although he did not know how to explain it, he had to make this call. Otherwise, not only would he be incompetent, but he would also be charged with a mistake!
Beep beep.
The phone rang a few times before it was finally connected.
"Hello."
It was Secretary Song's dignified and calm voice.
Director Tian had an office in both the municipal bureau and the municipal government and often traveled between them. In addition, he was a municipal government official while Secretary Song was the head of the municipal party committee. Institutionally speaking, the two usually did not communicate much. Occasionally they would nod at each other, but because of their busy work, they lacked communication.
After all. Director Tian was not Secretary Song's confidant. It was just a relationship between a subordinate and a superior. Otherwise, how could he just watch as Song Sicheng was beaten? Maintain a subtle neutrality?
The officialdom was more dangerous than the battlefield. Usually they seemed to get along well, but when it came to a life and death battle, one could tell whether they were humans or ghosts.
"Secretary Song. I have already coordinated. But the Boss Xiao of Longfeng House insisted on suing Young Master Song — "Director Tian found it difficult to speak.
"Speak." Secretary Song's dignified voice came. "Sue my son for what?"
"Attempted rape," Director Tian said in fear.
Secretary Song on the other side of the phone fell into silence after he said this. After a long time, Secretary Song's slightly sullen voice came. "Old Tian. You are in charge of the municipal bureau, the gatekeeper of Yanjing. False and unjust cases happened in front of you, but you can let it go? "
These words were too arrogant. When Director Tian heard it, his scalp went numb.
"If you can't handle this matter, I think you don't have to be the bureau chief anymore!"
Click.
Secretary Song hung up the phone. But it pushed Director Tian into an irrecoverable situation.
Don't have to be?
Bureau Chief Tian was not one of the top ranked deputy mayors. If Secretary Song really got angry, he would be stripped of his title. His political future would be ruined in an instant. When the time came, he would be assigned an idle job, and he would have to retire early.
Shuddering, Director Tian clenched his fists. He planned to be more forceful later. No matter how close he was to Secretary Song, Secretary Song was his direct superior. If he really angered Secretary Song, even if he had a backer, it would be difficult for him to get around Secretary Song. The county magistrate was not as good as the person in charge. That was the logic.
Urging the driver to follow closely, Director Tian closed his eyes and thought about how to deal with it.
He believed that once he made the call, Secretary Song would definitely take action. Now that the higher-ups were in a tight spot, all the big shots were living in seclusion, afraid that something might go wrong. Moreover, Secretary Song had a high position of power. It would not be appropriate for him to personally come to a small police station to arrest someone. It would also damage his image. But even if Secretary Song didn't come personally, he would definitely send a trusted aide to intervene.
Bureau Chief Tian's explanation had already indirectly informed Secretary Song that he could not handle this matter.
"Sigh …" Director Tian sighed softly and rubbed his eyebrows. He muttered to himself. "When the gods fight, the fish in the moat will be affected."
A dignified deputy minister compared himself to the fish in the moat. It could be seen how tangled and struggling Director Tian was.
…
In the car, Yu Fei personally sat in the front passenger seat and accompanied Xiao Zheng to the police station.
This was a serious matter. He had to carefully consider it with Xiao Zheng. If there really was a mess, with Secretary Song's influence in Sijiu City. It was not something he, a small deputy level cadre, could handle.
A single slap would be enough to turn him into ashes.
"Boss Xiao." Yu Fei looked back at Xiao Zheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, and probed. "What should we do later?"
"Follow the normal procedure." Xiao Zheng slowly opened his eyes and pursed his lips.
Hearing this, Yu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Follow the normal procedure?
Based on the accusations that Xiao Zheng put on Song Sicheng, he would be detained for at least fifteen days. Once found out, he would be thrown into the detention center. He might even have to go through the judicial process.
Yu Fei was already under a lot of pressure to escort Song Sicheng back to the police station. He still had to follow the rules?
Even if Minister Jin asked, he didn't have the guts …
Like Chief Tian, Yu Fei was also a fish in the moat. He had a splitting headache.
Xiao Zheng glanced at Yu Fei and saw the concern and worry in the other's heart. He slowly lit a cigarette and said calmly, "Let the police station work as usual. As for the rest, I'm free to arrange. "
Hearing Xiao Zheng's answer, Yu Fei felt a little relieved.
In fact, although Yu Fei was very nervous, he also knew that Xiao Zheng was not someone who would cause trouble for no reason. Every time he launched an attack, he would have a backup plan. This was also the reason why Yu Fei was so loyal to Xiao Zheng.
This business leader who was younger than him had a higher political sense than a deputy level cadre like him. And it was not just a little bit higher.
This point, from the last time when Yen Teng-kuei was taken down, Yu Fei, as a participant and executor, could see it clearly.
He entered the police station. Song Sicheng was directly locked into the interrogation room by the police. The director personally interrogated him. It was considered to be a high standard of treatment. Yu Fei accompanied Xiao Zheng to drink tea in the lounge. Chief Tian originally wanted to go over and sit with Xiao Zheng and communicate with him at the same time. In the end, he was rejected by Xiao Zheng on the grounds that he wanted to be alone.
Damn it. He wanted to be alone, why did he ask Yu Fei to accompany him?
He was the head of the municipal bureau, could he not catch up with a branch leader?
Of course, Chief Tian only complained a little. He knew that tonight's contest was likely to evolve into a political storm. First, he was not the protagonist, and second, he did not have the ability to control the situation. It was very unwise to stand out at this time.
After leaving the room, Chief Tian solemnly said to the director, "Have a correct attitude, be careful when you ask questions!"
This was the usual method of beating people in officialdom. It was also an indirect statement to the director that Song Sicheng was the person that Chief Tian wanted to protect. Be careful, if you cause trouble, I won't forgive you!
The majesty of the head of the bureau was revealed at this moment.
But he also knew that as long as Xiao Zheng in the lounge did not nod. Tonight's matter was not over.
There must be another storm.
Chief Tian came to the door gloomily and smoked a cigarette. He looked up at the starless sky, feeling extremely gloomy.
He was inexplicably involved in this storm and inexplicably reprimanded by Secretary Song. He knew that no matter how tonight's contest ended, he would offend one of them. Even all of them.
Even his backer only gave him a few words of advice, telling him to be careful and to be as impartial as possible. Don't offend anyone.
But in this case, if he didn't offend anyone, he might offend all of them. If his political sense was a little weak, he would suffer a big loss.
"Chief Tian is really in a good mood."
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice that he hated the most.
It was Xiao Zheng who had just "driven" him out of the lounge.
