When Zhang Zhiyuan received a call from the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Tian Chunqiu, he was shocked. He knew what Tian Chunqiu wanted to talk to him about, but he was in a difficult position. Since he was summoned by the municipal leader, he could only brace himself and rush to the Municipal Party Committee.
As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan walked in, before he could even sit down, Tian Chunqiu angrily asked, "Why didn't you report such a big thing in advance?"
Zhang Zhiyuan awkwardly stood up and said, "Secretary Tian, you've always warned us to resolve conflicts at the grassroots level, and not to bring everything to the Municipal Party Committee. So, I …"
"You've even investigated the municipal leader. Is this an ordinary problem?" Tian Chunqiu angrily knocked on the table.
Zhang Zhiyuan's face turned red and said, "Secretary Tian, I didn't expect things to become so complicated, but I've reported it to Secretary Guo …"
"Enough!" Tian Chunqiu's suppressed anger finally exploded. He pointed at Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "Zhang Zhiyuan, do you still have me in your eyes? I know you're close to Jin Zhu, but you should at least inform me about such a big matter, but you didn't. Now you're sandwiching me in the middle. What do you want me to do? Let me ask you again, does Comrade Qiming know about this matter? "
"No!" Zhang Zhiyuan straightforwardly replied.
"Great! Zhang Zhiyuan! " Tian Chunqiu was furious and said, "Do you know why I asked Mayor Su to take charge of the work? It's because you've turned the Nanyang government upside down ever since you came to Nanyang County. First, you investigated the triad, then you investigated Zhang Lefei, which led to him committing suicide in prison. Tell me, isn't it shocking? But did you report it to me in advance? It caused a lot of complaints in Nanyang's government. Comrade Qiming is in charge of the overall work. You should discuss everything with him. But you are still the same. Now you are stretching your hands into the city. Are you planning to investigate me again? "
Zhang Zhiyuan originally wanted to save some face for Tian Chunqiu, but after hearing what Tian Chunqiu said, he became angry and said: "Secretary Tian, you said that I turned Nanyang's officialdom upside down. I don't agree with this point of view. I clearly remember what you told me before I came to Nanyang. You told me to do things honestly, to be a dutiful person, and to use extraordinary thinking to reverse the development of Nanyang. I've done all that. When I arrived in Nanyang, officials and businessmen colluded with each other and abused their power for personal gain. There were even evil forces controlling Nanyang's economic lifeline. If I didn't do these things, how could Nanyang develop? Including the implementation of enterprise restructuring, it was all to create a good social environment for the development of Nanyang. As for the restructuring of the enterprise, it was unanimously approved by the Standing Committee. You also supported it. I don't think I have exceeded my authority or violated the rules. As for investigating the city leaders, I didn't even think about it. "
Tian Chunqiu was choked by Zhang Zhiyuan and couldn't say a word. He was so angry that his fingers were trembling, and he sat on the chair indignantly. He tried to control his emotions and said: "Are you questioning me?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said expressionlessly: "No, I'm just stating the facts."
"Alright, you can leave." Tian Chunqiu had nothing to say, so he waved his hand at Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan still wanted to say something, but he was ruthlessly interrupted by Tian Chunqiu, so he had to leave.
Back at the 7853 Military Hospital, Guo Jinzhu was still accompanying Hou Yongzhi's family in the hospital. Zhang Zhiyuan said with concern: "Secretary Guo, why don't you go back and rest? I'll stay here and report to you if anything happens."
Guo Jinzhu shook his head, closed his eyes and said: "What did Secretary Tian talk to you about?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said vaguely: "Nothing, just asked about the situation."
"Liar!" Guo Jinzhu stared at Zhang Zhiyuan with his sharp eyes and said: "Did he reprimand you? Blame you for not reporting to him immediately? "
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and shook his head.
Guo Jinzhu sighed: "Secretary Tian is going to be transferred soon, and I can understand his position because he doesn't want these things to happen during his term. But since things have come to this point, especially with Secretary Hou in this state, we can't just let it go. We must get to the bottom of it. Don't worry, I'm here if anything happens. I don't think Secretary Tian will dare to do anything to you! "
Zhang Zhiyuan slumped on the sofa and looked at the ceiling: "Secretary Guo, should I have made the wrong move? Or am I not cut out to be a leader? Secretary Tian is right. I don't have high prestige in Nanyang County, and many people don't like me. Almost all of the nine standing committee members support me. Luckily, Yuxin took the lead for me. If not, I really don't know how to carry out my work. Sigh, it's so difficult! " This was the first time Zhang Zhiyuan appeared so weak in front of Guo Jinzhu, and he said the words that he had been suppressing for a long time.
Guo Jinzhu understood Zhang Zhiyuan's difficulties. He walked to the side and patted his shoulder. "Zhiyuan, it's easier said than done for a person to accomplish something! It's said that reformers are sacrificed, and this is especially true in the officialdom. No matter how well you do, you will be overwhelmed by the conservatives in the end. When I sent you out to train, it was because of your unyielding spirit. As long as you can withstand the pressure, it's easy for you to achieve results in Nanyang County, and your current results are showing their results. So, at this critical juncture, you have to grit your teeth and move forward. Even if you are surrounded by enemies, you can't relax. This is your capital for success in the future. "
Zhang Zhiyuan sat up and looked at Guo Jinzhu with firm eyes: "Secretary Guo, you are right. My results are not for others to see, but for myself. As long as there is someone supporting me, I will continue to do it! "
Guo Jinzhu revealed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time. It only stayed for a short while, but it couldn't hide his concern for Zhang Zhiyuan.
Thump! Thump! Thump! A series of footsteps rang out in the hospital corridor. Zhang Zhiyuan looked out and saw Municipal Party Committee Secretary Tian Chunqiu, Mayor Lin Haifeng, and other standing committee members walking towards the emergency room. He quickly got up and went out to welcome them. But the standing committee members walked straight past him, and didn't even look at him.
Tian Chunqiu walked to the door of the emergency room and first expressed his condolences to Hou Yongzhi's family on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and repeatedly promised to do everything possible to save Hou Yongzhi. Then he asked the hospital director about the progress of the operation. When he heard that Hou Yongzhi was still in a coma, Tian Chunqiu emphasized again that Hou Yongzhi must be recovered at all costs.
Tian Chunqiu led the standing committee members of the Municipal Party Committee to visit Hou Yongzhi, which was also an important signal. The news of Hou Yongzhi's car accident was made public, which indirectly supported the in-depth investigation of the case.
Then, an emergency meeting was held to adjust the work of Hou Yongzhi. The decision was as follows: Since Hou Yongzhi was injured and can't return to work for the time being, but the work can't be stopped, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Comrade Guo Jinzhu, will temporarily be in charge of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. This was another clear signal. It seemed that Tian Chunqiu had consulted the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and decided to launch a comprehensive investigation into the matter.
After the meeting, Tian Chunqiu made an appointment with Guo Jinzhu alone. He put forward a principle: the case could be investigated further, but the problem involving Li Hugang was temporarily put aside and handed over to the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee to make a decision.
It was night. The night was quiet, quiet, and tranquil. The hospital corridor was still filled with a tense atmosphere. Hou Yongzhi's wife cried until she fainted, and when she woke up, she continued to cry. The dark light box above the door of the operating room had not been lit for more than 10 hours. Everyone present was sweating and waiting for the result with trepidation.
In the waiting room, Guo Jinzhu was still standing firm. Zhang Zhiyuan repeatedly persuaded him to go back to rest and report as soon as there was any news, but Guo Jinzhu shook his head. He wanted to wait for Hou Yongzhi to wake up and continue the friendship of more than 20 years.
It was the third time that Lu Yiwei went to heat up the food. But all of them held their breaths and held on just like that. It was not the first time that Lu Yiwei had experienced this kind of situation. Last year, Niu Fuyong's mother was admitted to the hospital because of Niu Fuyong's arrest, and his mother did not see her son before she died with hatred. And today, it was such a similar scene, and it was also a human tragedy. In the face of birth, aging, illness, and death, people seemed so fragile and helpless. Although it was not his family lying in the hospital, Lu Yiwei's mood was also tragic, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his body was numb and without warmth.
Guo Jinzhu used the waiting room as a temporary command post, and used the telephone and mobile phone to remotely control the troops who were "fighting" in the front line. The director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Li Zhentang, personally went to hunt the fugitive, but there was still no news so far, which made Guo Jinzhu restless. He shouted into the mobile phone again and again, "Don't talk to me about difficulties, I only want results, and we must arrest the murderer tonight."
As for the man in black who was arrested by the Guchuan County Public Security Bureau last night, although he had woken up, he was still unconscious and could not be interrogated immediately. The investigation of the case seemed to have reached a dead end, and no valuable clues could be found, which made the case even more confusing.
It had been more than 10 hours since the crime happened, and this time difference had already made it difficult to catch the murderer. Maybe he had already escaped.
"Zhiyuan, tell me, where is this murderer hiding?" I don't believe it. Bei Zhou City is just a fart. Do you think he can grow wings and fly away? "Guo Jinzhu smoked one cigarette after another, thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his mind.
Zhang Zhiyuan's mind was completely blank, and he could not think of a good breakthrough point.
As an outsider, Lu Yiwei saw the case clearly, and he did not dare to say a lot of things in his heart. He was afraid that saying something wrong would affect the direction of the case, and he could not afford to bear this responsibility. But he felt bad if he did not say it, and after a few struggles, he finally plucked up the courage to say to Guo Jinzhu, "Secretary Guo, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it."
Guo Jinzhu was not much better than Zhang Zhiyuan, and said somewhat impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it."
