"Oh, Zhang Lifeng, do you know who promoted you? Zhou Fanlin just left, and now you've changed hands? Lu Yiwei's time in Long 'an County is temporary, and I will never leave. If he leaves, I will not be able to kill you. Are you going to let him go or not? "
As the saying goes, when the gods fight, the little devil suffers. Zhang Lifeng was just a small superintendent, and he could not go against the rich and powerful. Furthermore, he knew what kind of person Deng Zhongyuan was. He was a county leader, but in reality, he was a hooligan, and no one dared to offend him. Even Liu Zhankui had to give in to him. After an intense struggle, Zhang Lifeng compromised.
Deng Zhongyuan had a smug look on his face. "That's right. You have to know what's good for you. Those who go against me will not have a good ending." He got into his car and left.
As Zhang Lifeng struggled in pain, the deputy station chief beside him whispered, "Chief Zhang, should we consult Chief Fu?"
"Don't!"
Zhang Lifeng raised his hand. "Don't ask."
The deputy superintendent was anxious. "Are we really going to let him go? If Chief Fu knows about this … "
Zhang Lifeng thought for a long time and sighed. "Let him go. You and I cannot afford to offend him. I will explain to Chief Fu."
"Alright."
Soon, the troublemakers were sent out of the detention center. Lu Yiwei was furious when he heard about it, and he criticized Fu Jiangwei. "Why? Are you slapping my face? Have you considered it?"
Fu Jiangwei hid the truth and lowered his head. "Secretary Lu, my responsibility is that the prisoners are old, and if they die in the detention center, it will be disadvantageous to you. So, I made the decision to release them early. But there's good news. Zheng Erjun has been caught. "
Lu Yiwei found it hard to calm himself down. He closed his eyes for a long time before saying, "Jiang Wei, the main reason I transferred you over is to deal with the security issues in Long An City. There are village tyrants, road tyrants, and mine tyrants in Yong Sheng Town. So, you must not be soft-hearted. You must be ruthless when you need to be. I'll say it again, if anything happens, I'll take responsibility. "
Fu Jiangwei lowered his head in shame and said, "Secretary Lu, I've disappointed you."
Lu Yiwei sat up and waved his hand. "Where is Zheng Erjun now?"
"In the Public Security Bureau's interrogation room."
"We'll conduct a surprise investigation tonight. We must dig out the person behind this."
"Alright."
…
The next morning, Lu Yiwei was still in a daze when he heard someone crying. He opened his eyes and listened carefully. When he heard it was coming from outside, he quickly got up and walked to the window. There were petitioners outside the Public Security Bureau. This time, it was even worse. A group of people in mourning clothes carried the coffin and knelt at the door, wailing loudly. Seeing this scene, his scalp went numb.
Just as he was about to make a call to ask, Xu Changyuan called and said in a low voice, "Secretary Lu, things are a little bad. One of the people we detained yesterday suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage."
Lu Yiwei's head buzzed, and he sensed that something was amiss. He maintained his composure and asked: "The person causing trouble at the Public Security Bureau is?"
"Yes. Not only that, a group of people has arrived at the City Hall to cause trouble. Secretary Zhao Xiaojun has already rushed to the City Hall. I'm coordinating with the Letters and Calls Bureau to deal with the matter here. "
Things were getting more and more out of control, and it was time to test Lu Yiwei. He had always thought that there was a mastermind behind this, but until now, he had not found it. However, the successive incidents must be inextricably linked to Liu Zhankui.
He and Liu Zhankui did not have any personal grudges, but there was a deviation in the governing philosophy. If he had come and made friends with him, there might not have been so many troubles. He was not the kind of person who would curry favor with those in power, and he would not compromise with anyone. Since things had come to this, he had to grit his teeth and continue. "Where's Liu Guohua?"
"He's on his way."
"Tell him to come and see me."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei quickly dressed and washed up. He walked out of the door and lit a cigarette. The mayor of Yongsheng Town, Liu Guohua, was already standing outside the door. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Secretary Lu, it's all my responsibility. I've already asked the village leaders to come, and I guarantee that it will be resolved in a short period of time."
Lu Yiwei had neglected Liu Guohua during the meeting yesterday. Since he could become the mayor of Yongsheng Town, he must be one of Liu Zhankui's men. It would still be difficult to carry out the work even if the secretary was removed, but he was not removed as well. Things had already come to this, and it could not be overturned. Even if it was wrong, he had to make the best of it. He asked, "What's the situation?"
Liu Guohua said, "Wang Jinsheng died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage last night. He might have been frightened yesterday. It's Wang Zhiquan's uncle, and I just found out this morning. I didn't expect them to be here already. Don't worry, I'll handle it properly. "
Lu Yiwei took a few puffs of his cigarette and said, "So, it's my responsibility?"
"No, no. It has nothing to do with you. He's sick, and he's old. He's just a little frightened."
"Do you know that they came yesterday?"
Liu Guohua avoided eye contact and said, "I know a little. I took leave yesterday and rushed back last night."
Lu Yiwei did not say anything more. He glanced out of the window and said, "Evacuate the people first, and go back to deal with the aftermath. If you have any requests, you can let the town government handle it. Don't come to the County every time something happens. What do you think this place is? If something similar happens again, you can handle it yourself. "
Liu Guohua hesitated for a long time and said, "Secretary Lu, I have a presumptuous request."
Lu Yiwei looked at him and said, "Say it."
"It's like this. I'm sick. I have high blood pressure, and I can't go to work. The doctor advised me to rest for a period of time. I can't work so hard anymore. I'm 45 years old this year, and I've contributed a lot to the development of Long An. So, I'd like to resign from my position as the Mayor. "
Lu Yiwei's hand trembled, and the cigarette ash fell on the table. His bloodshot eyes were filled with complicated emotions. Liu Guohua exchanged glances with him and quickly moved away.
After two minutes of silence, Lu Yiwei said, "Is this what you're thinking?"
Liu Guohua straightened his back and sighed, "Secretary Lu, I'm not quitting. It's just that my body really can't allow me to do it. The situation in Yong Sheng Town is complicated, and the workload is three times that of other towns. Every day, there are endless banquets, and I have to drink for every meal. This is all for work. But health is also important. If I continue to struggle like this, I'm afraid I'll collapse at work like Wang Jinsheng. I don't care if you want me to rest or change my position. I'm really powerless. "
