Since Lu Yiwei and Zhang Zhiyuan were not in the same car, Zhang Zhiyuan greeted Guo Jinzhu and immediately asked about Lu Yiwei's situation. Unexpectedly, Lu Yiwei actually fell asleep in the car, which made Zhang Zhiyuan not know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhang Zhiyuan experienced a scene that could only be seen on TV. He felt as if he had been reborn. Holding Guo Jinzhu's hand, he choked with sobs, "Mayor Guo, I didn't expect this to happen. We almost lost our lives!"
Guo Jinzhu said in annoyance, "It's all my fault. I didn't tell you clearly. That road has long been deserted. If you came in from Nanzhou, this wouldn't have happened. Hurry up, go upstairs first! "
Guo Jinzhu's secretary, Cui Xiaofei, looked at Lu Yiwei who was sleeping soundly and asked Guo Jinzhu, "Secretary Guo, what do you think?"
"Let him sleep first. Bring him up when he wakes up. Find a blanket to cover him. " Guo Jinzhu still had no idea about Lu Yiwei's "heroic deed". He pulled Zhang Zhiyuan and Bai Yuxin upstairs.
When they came to the reception room on the fifth floor, Guo Jinzhu carefully patted the dust off Zhang Zhiyuan's body and said with a heartache, "I've troubled you to come here. You must have suffered a lot. Did you encounter bandits?"
"Sigh!" Zhang Zhiyuan let out a long sigh and recounted the soul-stirring scene just now.
The more Zhang Zhiyuan spoke, the uglier Guo Jinzhu's face became. In the end, he angrily slammed the table and said, "Those scumbags! How dare they be so presumptuous! I'll teach them a lesson when I'm free."
Zhang Zhiyuan was worried about Lu Yiwei. He carefully said, "Mayor Guo, Lu Yiwei took some extreme measures to deal with the bandits. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold him responsible."
"What responsibility?" Guo Jinzhu retorted, "It's self-defense. I haven't charged them with obstructing official business and threatening the safety of the public. You can rest assured. Since they're on my turf, I'll block them for them. Let's see who dares to say no."
Bai Yuxin had heard that the security in Western Region was bad, but she did not expect it to be this bad. The evil forces were brazenly robbing people, but they had Guo Jinzhu's protection. If it weren't for this relationship, they would probably have died in their hands tonight. He said, "Secretary Guo, the public security in Western State is jaw-dropping. You really should take care of it!"
"Sigh!" Guo Jinzhu let out a sigh, expressing his helplessness and frustration. After a while, he said, "Do you think I don't want it? I want it even in my dreams. But the evil forces here are completely different from those in Northern City. They're not small fries, but they've become big. It's not easy to wipe them out. "Besides, there's basically an official or businessman behind every gang. They've infiltrated every field. Even some of the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and government are acting as an umbrella. They're very united. Tell me, where should I start?"
After listening to Guo Jinzhu's complaints, Zhang Zhiyuan truly understood how difficult it was for him. It was like when he first arrived in Nanyang County. He was alone and had no one to rely on. The first thing he did was to fight the evil forces. The reason why he could succeed was because of Guo Jinzhu and Hou Yongzhi's support. But what about Guo Jinzhu? Who could he rely on? The only person he could rely on, Tan Lao, had also lost his power. He was even more isolated and helpless.
Guo Jinzhu continued, "What I lack the most now is manpower. The locals almost overwhelmingly support the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. I only have a few people around me, so a lot of work can't be carried out. "Every time I come here, I especially miss Hou Yongzhi. If only he was by my side. At least he could help me. Even if he didn't do anything, I'd feel especially at ease. Sigh! He's gone just like that! "
At the mention of Hou Yongzhi, both Zhang Zhiyuan and Bai Yuxin chose to remain silent. Zhang Zhiyuan, in particular, was more remorseful and self-blaming. He had always thought that Hou Yongzhi's death had a lot to do with him. If he had not attacked Ma Linhui back then, it would not have led to such a tragedy. Guo Jinzhu had never complained in front of him. Instead, he often talked about it and reminisced about it.
Bai Yuxin suggested, "Secretary Guo, why don't you transfer the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Li Zhentang? He was groomed by Secretary Hou."
Guo Jinzhu shook his head and said, "Li Zhentang is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and also the director of the Public Security Bureau. What position should I give him? I can't give him anything. Sigh, I've now personally experienced what it means to be alone and helpless. "
Hearing that Guo Jinzhu was not doing well, Zhang Zhiyuan was worried for him. Especially what he had seen and heard tonight, it was simply unimaginable. If Guo Jinzhu wanted to make a difference, he would not be able to stand firm in a day or two.
"Alright, let's not talk about these sad things. It's annoying!" Guo Jinzhu stood up and said, "As long as you're doing well, it's more important than anything else. You must be hungry. Come, let's go eat!"
Zhang Zhiyuan was still worried about Lu Yiwei and looked around from time to time. Guo Jinzhu saw through Zhang Zhiyuan's thoughts and instructed his secretary, Cui Xiaofei, next to him, "Go! Invite Lu Yiwei up. He can relax after dinner. "
After a while, Lu Yiwei came up with local specialties. He entered the door and said with a smile, "Secretary Guo, this is what Secretary Zhang prepared for you. I hope you'll accept it."
Guo Jinzhu stared at Lu Yiwei in front of him with his eyes wide open. His clothes were disheveled, and there was a long cut on the back of his coat from a machete. His pants were covered in dust, and his right cheek was swollen like a black bruise. There were still traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his glasses were badly deformed. He looked rather funny, which made Guo Jinzhu want to laugh and feel sorry for him at the same time.
"You're still thinking about getting things for me at a time like this!" Guo Jinzhu was deeply moved by Lu Yiwei's actions. He felt his throat was blocked, and his voice was trembling. He quickly got up and walked over. He touched his swollen cheek and bent down to pat the dust on his pants. He looked up and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Lu Yiwei maintained a smile on his face. He shook his head and said, "No!"
Guo Jinzhu closed his eyes and turned to Cui Xiaofei, who was beside him. "Hurry up and bring Yiwei to take a shower. Find a clean set of clothes, and get him a pair of glasses."
"Oh, I'll get it done right away!" Cui Xiaofei said as he came to Lu Yiwei's side. He looked at this' hero 'who dared to fight with gangsters with a strange gaze. "Brother Yiwei, please come with me!"
After Lu Yiwei left, Guo Jinzhu was still in disbelief. "Zhiyuan, you said that Lu Yiwei challenged more than ten gangsters alone. Is that true?"
Before Zhang Zhiyuan could reply, Bai Yuxin interrupted, "Yes! I can't believe that Yiwei has such courage and insight. Facing a group of gangsters with weapons in their hands, he was fearless and calm in the face of danger. His reaction was quick, and his attacks were ruthless. He stabbed the gangster's leg with a knife and forced the group of gangsters to retreat. Aiya! I've fought before. It's rare to see someone as ruthless as Yiwei. He's a powerful person! "
Zhang Zhiyuan had never seen this side of Lu Yiwei. It was an eye-opener for him. He usually looked gentle and cultured, but when he fought with real weapons, he was really impressive. He couldn't help but like and trust Lu Yiwei even more.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a police uniform walked in in a panic. He walked to Guo Jinzhu and bowed. "Mayor Guo, I just found out about it. It's all because of my negligence that this happened. I accept the punishment from the municipal government."
Guo Jinzhu didn't look at the man. He slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down unhurriedly. "Pa — —" Guo Jinzhu suddenly slammed the table, causing the tableware on the table to crack. A spoon fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of shattering.
"Kong Fusheng! How do you expect me to believe you, huh? "Guo Jinzhu pointed a finger at the man and scolded," What era is it now? It's already the f * cking reform and opening up, and there are still bandits and hooligans. Fortunately, no one died. If someone died, I won't let you off tonight! Do you still want to be the director of the Public Security Bureau? If you don't or can't do it, get lost! "
Guo Jinzhu was still hot-tempered. Zhang Zhiyuan and Bai Yuxin were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound. They sat there quietly, looking at the dejected director of the Xi City Public Security Bureau, Kong Fusheng.
Kong Fusheng understood Guo Jinzhu's temper. He lowered his head in silence, letting Guo Jinzhu vent his emotions.
Guo Jinzhu seemed to want to continue. Ignoring the presence of others, he continued with his hands on his waist, "Old Kong, I know you have your difficulties, but you have to consider the face of the municipal government, right? Tell me, after I came here, I tightened my belt, bore the infamy, and allocated more than 100 buses for the public security system, improved the treatment of the police officers, and recruited more than 300 contract workers. But what about you? What results have you achieved? "
Guo Jinzhu scolded for a long time, but Kong Fusheng didn't say a word. He was so angry that he sat on the chair and drank a mouthful of water. He said weakly, "Tell me about tonight's situation."
Kong Fusheng raised his head and said, "After I learned about the incident, I immediately went to the scene of the incident. I've already ordered the local public security bureau to detain all the troublemakers and demand that they be severely punished. According to what I know, they are Zhang Dongzi's men. They saw a luxury car with a foreign license plate and had evil intentions, so they chose to do it near Black Wind Mountain. After investigating the scene, the car is beyond recognition. Also, Zhang Dongzi's Black Dog was injured and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. It's not a big deal. "
"Zhang Dongzi again!" Guo Jinzhu gritted his teeth and slammed the table. "Old Kong, we'll discuss this matter later. Let's not talk about it today. When you go back, you have to seal off the news. Don't let anyone know who it is. Do you understand? "
"Don't worry, I've sealed off the news. I've also removed the license plate. No one will know who is sitting in the car." Kong Fusheng said confidently.
"Alright!" Guo Jinzhu calmed down a little and said to Zhang Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, Yuxin, let me introduce you. This is the deputy mayor of Xi City and the director of the Public Security Bureau, Kong Fusheng."
Zhang Zhiyuan and Bai Yuxin immediately stood up and shook hands with him. "Thank you, Director Kong, for taking the trouble in the middle of the night. I hope you can take care of us in the future."
After Guo Jinzhu's introduction, Kong Fusheng said apologetically, "Secretary Zhang, please don't say that. It's all because I didn't do my job well, which caused you so much trouble. Fortunately, nothing happened to you, or else Mayor Guo would eat me alive tonight, hehe."
Since he dared to joke in front of Guo Jinzhu, it was obvious that the relationship between the two was not ordinary. Zhang Zhiyuan smiled. "Everything is fine. Please don't worry."
