Beiqing Province, Quanning.
By the time Chen Xing and the rest returned to the station of the inspection team, it was already past one o 'clock. Chen Xing asked someone to send over some lunch boxes and fast food. Chen Xing let Qin Minghua and the rest have lunch first, while he went to report to the team leader, He Qili.
He Qili was old and had the habit of taking a nap at noon, but it was only a half-hour nap. When Chen Xing came, He Qili was already up and sitting on the small sofa in the room, reading the newspaper.
He Qili was not surprised to see Chen Xing knocking on the door. Chen Xing and the rest had already called to report on the way back, so He Qili knew that they came back early today.
Sit. He Qili pointed to the small sofa opposite him.
Old He, I hope I didn't disturb your afternoon nap. Chen Xing said.
It was almost half past one, and he had already slept. He Qili smiled and pointed at the time, then looked at Chen Xing. You just came back, have you had lunch yet?
Not yet, I wanted to report to you first before eating, or else I'll feel like I'm worried about something. Chen Xing smiled.
I think you should go for lunch first. It's already half past one, and I'm already full and awake, so I'm too embarrassed to let you report on an empty stomach. He Qili waved his hand.
Old He, I'll report to you first before going for lunch. Anyway, I don't need this bit of time. Chen Xing insisted.
I didn't know that you were an impatient person. That's fine, you young people are in good health anyway, so it's okay to be hungry. He Qili joked. Although he said so, he quite admired Chen Xing's character in his heart.
He Qili kept the newspaper and listened to Chen Xing's report carefully.
Chen Xing and the rest went to Yuntian not only to investigate the report on Yuntian Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Liao Jingming, but also to find out about the joint report on Mayor Ning Shuangqi by the old cadres. However, the latter matter was only ordered to Chen Xing and the rest last night. He Qili saw that Chen Xing and the rest had returned earlier today, so he did not have much hope that they would be able to find out about the situation. However, when he heard Chen Xing's report, He Qili was quite surprised because Chen Xing had brought back evidence.
This is what Su Yingzheng gave us. Take a look, Elder He. As Chen Xing spoke, he handed He Qili a portfolio that Su Yingzheng had given him in front of him. There were some things in it.
He Qili took it and took out a small diary, some photos, and some documents from the portfolio. He Qili glanced at the photos and his face became serious.
Time ticked by. When He Qili quickly browsed through the documents and the small diary, more than ten minutes had passed.
You called in the morning and said that you encountered an emergency, so you decided to return early. What's the situation? He Qili suddenly asked.
In the morning, Xiao Qin and I left Su Yingzheng's residential area. Not long after, we ran into a group of people. When they saw us, they chased after us. Fortunately, there was a policeman at the intersection where we were running. Otherwise, we would have suffered today. Chen Xing explained with a smile. He didn't tell He Qili the details on the phone. In the report, Chen Xing also downplayed it and didn't deliberately exaggerate it.
Really? He Qili raised his eyebrows. His face was serious just now, but now it was obvious that he was angry.
Could it be that the people who chased after you got the wrong target? He Qili asked again.
The possibility of a mistake was not high. When they saw us, they said, "It's them." Obviously, they saw us clearly and shouted. Chen Xing shook his head. Not only us, but Qin Minghua and Jiang Haijun also encountered them. They noticed it early, so they ran in time and escaped.
Qin Minghua and Jiang Haijun were old discipline inspectors with rich experience. They could detect danger in time. He Qili nodded indifferently. At this moment, his face was a bit fierce. Little Chen, what do you think of this?
I don't have any opinion. After all, what I'm saying now is just a guess. Our inspection team can speak with evidence. Chen Xing answered with a smile.
Yes, we must speak with evidence. Others can make groundless accusations, but we can't. We can't wrongly accuse any comrades. He Qili sighed. As he said that, He Qili suddenly changed the topic and said, "But we won't let off any scum or vermin in the party. What you've encountered, if it's a coincidence, is absolutely not reasonable. It can only be said that it was premeditated to warn you and teach you a lesson. Of course, it can also be seen as a provocation."
He Qili's words were full of murderous intent. Chen Xing could even feel that this old man in his seventies still had a fiery side.
Old He, should we hand over these clues and evidence to the local authorities? Chen Xing asked.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Based on the current situation, Yun Tian's problem wasn't just a day or two. He Qili snorted coldly. He, who had been honest all his life, hated those corrupt and vermin the most. From the time he started working to his retirement, he had been working in the discipline inspection department for more than forty years. He didn't dare to say anything to others, but he dared to pat his chest and guarantee that no matter what he did or what he did, he had a clear conscience.
Chen Xing listened to He Qili's words and felt a chill in his heart. He knew that He Qili's words had already given him the answer. The inspection team was going to directly intervene in the investigation.
Little Chen, Qing Hui and Ze Liang are both busy with their own work and can't free themselves. So, you will be in charge of Yun Tian's case. Anyway, you were the one who took over from the beginning. He Qili quickly made a decision. Don't look at how old he was, but he was still decisive in doing things. He was also a person who dared to take responsibility for his actions. The reason why the higher-ups chose him, who had retired for many years, to be the team leader was not only because he wanted him to train new people, but also because he liked this side of him.
Old He, if we directly intervene in the investigation, shouldn't we report to the higher-ups? Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and said.
I know what to do in this matter. He Qili waved his hand and glanced at Chen Xing. The expression on his face softened slightly and he smiled. Little Chen, an old man like me is not afraid of trouble. Are you, a young man, more irresponsible than me?
That's not it. Chen Xing smiled and scratched his head. He was actually worried that He Qili would be criticized. However, he thought that He Qili would definitely report to the higher-ups. He was really worried too much.
Don't worry. We came down with the imperial sword. If we are still afraid of the slightest thing, wouldn't we be letting down the trust of the higher-ups? He Qili smiled. Although our principle is to not intervene as much as possible, it also depends on the specific situation. If we don't do some things directly, it will only end up in vain in the end.
Chen Xing deeply agreed with He Qili's words. Having been in the officialdom for many years, Chen Xing could naturally deeply understand the meaning behind He Qili's words.
Old He, if you want me to be in charge of this matter, I don't have enough manpower. Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
Indeed, they didn't have enough manpower. This was a problem. He Qili gently touched his forehead and felt a headache coming on.
