After Lu Yiwei left, Zhang Zhiyuan still felt uneasy. He knew that there were only two outcomes tonight. One was that Xiao Dingyuan obeyed his orders and thoroughly investigated Mr. Fan. The other was that Xiao Dingyuan compromised with the other party or sold him out. Either possibility could happen. Moreover, the other party was not someone he knew, but someone he had to fight for. This was another crucial gamble.
Zhang Zhiyuan paced back and forth in his room with his hands behind his back. His mind was quickly thinking of all kinds of countermeasures. The plan he had set up tonight was full of loopholes. It could be used against him at any time. Or was it that he was too young and impetuous? Some people couldn't keep their cool. There was no turning back once the bow was shot. He had to take one step at a time.
He suddenly thought of something. He picked up the phone on his desk and called Lu Yiwei. "Have you arrived at the Public Security Bureau yet? If not, turn around immediately. Don't let anyone find your trail! "
Lu Yiwei parked the car on the side of the road. "What about Chief Xiao?"
Zhang Zhiyuan took a deep breath. "I trust him."
Lu Yiwei was also worried for Zhang Zhiyuan. His opponent tonight was too strong. He was facing the director of the County People's Congress, Fan Zhongming.
Fan Zhongming was born and raised in Nanyang County. He had powerful human resources and geographical advantages. This was an advantage that no other leading cadre had. In Nanyang County, he was a man of his word. How much risk would it take to compete with him? Lu Yiwei was also puzzled. Hadn't Zhang Zhiyuan already made a plan? First, he reorganized the Public Security Bureau. Then, he started with the three Tang brothers. Why did he suddenly change his strategy and target Fan Zhongming?
In any case, since things had come to this point, the next step was to see how Xiao Dingyuan would go. The key to success or failure lay in this one move!
Xiao Dingyuan was more anxious than Zhang Zhiyuan in the office. Which direction should he go? He couldn't make up his mind. There were two voices in his ears that were disturbing him. One was what Zhang Zhiyuan had said to him today, and the other was what Fan Zhongming had said to him in the past. Every voice was so harsh that he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the captain of the security team came in to report. "Chief Xiao, both parties have drunk alcohol. The interrogation is not going well. What do you think we should do? First, detention, or release? "
Xiao Dingyuan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. "Has Fan Peng's car been seized?"
"No, it's still parked in front of the Orchid Garden Hotel," the captain said.
"Bring a team of men and horses to search. Don't let go of any details," Xiao Dingyuan instructed.
"This …" The captain said awkwardly, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with fighting, right?"
Xiao Dingyuan lost his temper and roared, "I told you to go, so go! Stop talking nonsense!"
The captain left angrily. Xiao Dingyuan closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat. He knew what his order meant.
Soon, news came from the security team. They found several controlled knives, a replica pistol, a large amount of cash, and a few bags of heroin in the car. Just these few points were enough to put Fan Peng and Fan Peng in jail.
The captain reported, "Chief Xiao, what should we do next?"
Xiao Dingyuan said, "Register everything, take photos for evidence, and bring them back to the police station."
As soon as he hung up, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Zhang Lefei, called and said, "Xiao Dingyuan, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? "
Xiao Dingyuan pretended to be calm and said, "Secretary Zhang, what happened?"
"Don't play dumb!" Zhang Lefei said angrily, "Hurry up and let Fan Peng go!"
Xiao Dingyuan had already taken this step, and there was no turning back. He said, "Secretary Zhang, we can't let him go now. Fan Peng isn't just disrupting public security. He's involved in multiple crimes such as illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, drug use, and so on."
"You investigated him?" Zhang Lefei was shocked and said in disbelief.
Xiao Dingyuan said, "I didn't investigate him. I just happened to find him, and many people saw it. If we don't give an explanation to the public, I'm afraid …"
"Xiao Dingyuan, you …" Zhang Lefei was so angry that he couldn't speak. He said, "I'm telling you, you have to be responsible for your actions tonight. Don't blame me for not reminding you!" After that, he hung up the phone.
Xiao Dingyuan was scared. The moment he hung up the phone, his hands were trembling. He started to regret his impulsive action. Why did he listen to Zhang Zhiyuan and hit the nail on the head? If nothing unexpected happened, Fan Zhongming would soon come to ask for Fan Peng. What should he do then? What should he do then?
Lu Yiwei's call came in. Xiao Dingyuan picked up the phone and started to complain, "Brother Lu, you've really messed me up. What do you think is going to happen? How am I going to explain to Director Fan when he comes to ask for Fan Peng?"
Lu Yiwei knew Xiao Dingyuan's situation and said, "Chief Xiao, you can't mess up at this moment. You have to calm down. Fan Zhongming might be powerful, but you're not only giving an explanation to him, but also the people of Nanyang. If the people of Nanyang know about your feat tomorrow, they will definitely clap their hands and say that you've done a good deed. As for him coming to ask for Fan Peng, you can play Tai Chi. Not only do you have to grasp his weakness, but you also have to establish your prestige and let others know that you're the real Chief of the Public Security Bureau. "
Xiao Dingyuan had some confidence in his heart, and said, "Brother Lu, I don't care what you say, this kind of thing is indeed not right. Forget it, let's not talk about this now. I know what to do next."
When he hung up the phone, Fan Zhongming had already kicked the door open and stormed in with Zhang Lefei, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, following behind him.
Fan Zhongming walked to Xiao Dingyuan's desk and slammed the table. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Xiao Dingyuan, hurry up and let him go!"
Xiao Dingyuan stood up and walked around the desk to support Fan Zhongming. "Director Fan, please calm down. Let me explain!"
"What's there to explain? There's nothing to explain. Are you going to let him go or not? "Fan Zhongming wasn't going to fall for Xiao Dingyuan's trick, so he pushed him away and roared.
Standing to the side, Zhang Lefei gave Xiao Dingyuan a signal, which Xiao Dingyuan pretended not to see. "Director Fan, I will definitely let him go, but the case isn't clear yet."
"What do you want to investigate? What do you want to investigate? " Fan Zhongming pointed at Xiao Dingyuan and said, "Let me tell you, let him go if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, don't blame me if you don't!"
Xiao Dingyuan sneered, "Director Fan, you're also a leader, so you should know the laws of the country, right? I'll be honest with you. I found something in Fan Peng's car, do you want me to take a look?"
Fan Zhongming had already reached his limit, so he took a few deep breaths and said, "Xiao Dingyuan, let me ask you again. Are you going to let him go or not?"
Xiao Dingyuan firmly said, "I can't let him go before the case is clear!"
"Xiao Dingyuan!" Zhang Lefei couldn't sit still anymore and roared, "Do you know who you're talking to? As the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, I order you to let him go immediately. As for what you said, we'll discuss it later! "
"No way!" Xiao Dingyuan decided to be tough tonight and regain his dignity as a bureau chief. He said, "Secretary Zhang, Director Fan, it's not that I'm not giving you face, but the case has far exceeded my imagination. If I let him go now, how can I explain it to the people? Don't worry, I'll make sure that Fan Peng walks out of the Public Security Bureau safely, okay? "
Fan Zhongming was so anxious that he couldn't listen to anything. He knew what kind of person his son was. Seeing that force wouldn't work, he could only put down his pride and said, "Old Xiao, you know I only have one son. You can't leave him to die at this time. Even if your brother begs you, if his mother finds out, she might have a heart attack. Who knows what will happen? Can you give your brother some face?"
