Chen Xing walked out of the Public Security Bureau and got into his car. He punched the seat with his fist. It was not hard to imagine the anger in his heart. He Qi, who followed behind, saw Chen Xing's livid face. He sat in the passenger seat and signaled the driver to drive. He Qi didn't dare to say anything.
He turned his head and looked at Chen Xing worriedly. He knew that Chen Xing was very angry about what happened today, but it directly involved the family of Li Shaotong, the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee. He Qi had a premonition from the beginning that Chen Xing would run into a wall if he interfered in this matter. What he saw today had half confirmed his guess. Chen Xing saw it with his own eyes. Even the people of the Public Security Bureau dared to pretend to obey, not to mention that they would give a timely reply to Chen Xing later.
In the Public Security Bureau, Li Mingbo followed the Director Han Dong to the office. Both of them looked a little gloomy. Obviously, they didn't expect Chen Xing to pay attention to this matter.
Chen Xing was at the scene of the accident yesterday. I didn't expect him to be the new Deputy County Magistrate. I guess he also witnessed the accident. When the traffic police report comes out, I'm afraid that Chen Xing will keep an eye on it. Uncle Han, what do you think we should do now? Li Mingbo asked Han Dong. Han Dong was promoted by his father. His father had contributed a lot to his current position. Therefore, Li Mingbo was very direct in front of Han Dong.
Chen Xing was just an outsider in Xi Men. There was nothing to be afraid of if he was alone, but the person behind him was not. Han Dong looked serious. Chen Xing used to be the secretary of Secretary Zhou in the city. He was Chen Xing's biggest backer. Han Dong was afraid that this matter would attract Secretary Zhou's attention through Chen Xing.
What should we do? Li Mingbo was shocked.
Mingbo, don't worry. There is still room for redemption. Han Dong thought for a moment and then said decisively, "Release the few people you caught today. Also, go and negotiate with the families of the deceased immediately. Ask them to compensate them with a sum of money and shut their mouths. As long as they don't pursue the matter any further, even if Chen Xing wants to hold on to it, there's nothing he can do."
Han Dong sneered. Moreover, Chen Xing had just arrived in Ximen County and was alone. Since the families of the deceased did not say anything, what could he do?
Okay, Uncle Han, I'll do it right away. Li Mingbo's eyes lit up and he smiled. Money is just a small matter. I don't believe that those country bumpkins won't be tempted if I throw some money over.
In the evening, Chen Xing finished reading the documents in his office. When he was about to go back to his place, his phone rang unexpectedly. Looking at the strange number on the screen, Chen Xing picked up the phone in confusion. Hello?
Comrade Chen Xing, can I meet you tonight?
You are? Chen Xing frowned. The voice on the other end of the phone was completely unfamiliar to him.
Comrade Chen Xing, you'll know when you come. I'll be waiting for you in Room 201 of Li's Restaurant in the county.
Chen Xing was about to ask something, but the other party had already hung up. Chen Xing frowned slightly. He could roughly guess that the other party was also a person from the system. From the way the other party addressed him, he could guess most of it. Ordinary people would not call him "comrade".
"Since the other party knows my phone number, he should also be someone from the county government." Chen Xing pondered in his heart. He had already decided to go to this appointment. In particular, from the "comrade", Chen Xing faintly felt that the other party's position might be similar to his. It was very likely that the other party was one of the several deputy heads of the county. Chen Xing made up his mind to go and see the truth.
Out of the county government, Chen Xing chose to take a taxi to the Li's Restaurant mentioned by the other party. He went directly to the room on the second floor. Chen Xing easily saw Room 201 by the stairs. He knocked on the door lightly. Chen Xing squinted his eyes and stared at the door frame. The door was opened from the inside. Chen Xing finally saw who the other party was.
County Head Fang. Chen Xing was a little surprised, but then he felt relieved. As expected, his guess was basically right.
Why isn't County Head Chen surprised to see me at all? The person who invited Chen Xing was Deputy County Head Fang Xiao.
It was both unexpected and expected.
Fang Xiao took another look at Chen Xing, and a smile appeared on his face. It was so convenient to talk to smart people. He stepped aside and invited Chen Xing in. Then Fang Xiao closed the door again.
County Head Chen must have not had dinner yet. Fang Xiao sat down, looked at Chen Xing with a smile, and handed over the menu in his hand. Although this small restaurant could not compare with those high-end hotels, the food in this small restaurant was somewhat authentic to the taste of farmers. It was still very good. County Head Chen, you can have a taste today.
I'm a casual person when I eat, and I'm not good at ordering dishes. Let's leave it to you, Mr. Fang. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, and pushed the menu back to Fang Xiao.
Then I will randomly order a few dishes. Fang Xiao didn't continue to be polite with Chen Xing. He randomly ordered a few dishes and handed the menu out.
When Fang Xiao sat back in the chair, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became silent.
Chen Xing was secretly trying to figure out the purpose of Fang Xiao's invitation today. Fang Xiao was also looking at Chen Xing, the new deputy county head who was less than 30 years old.
County Head Chen was a city man. He had just arrived in Ximen, so he must be very uncomfortable. Fang Xiao was the first to break the silence between the two.
Fortunately. Chen Xing nodded slightly. In fact, Ximen only looked backward compared to the big environment of Sea City. Compared with some really poor counties in the Midwest, Ximen was still considered good.
Of course, the inland areas couldn't be compared with the coastal areas. Some places there were indeed very poor. However, Ximen was located in the coastal area, so it couldn't be compared with the inland areas. If we compared Ximen with the districts and counties under other coastal cities, there was no doubt that Ximen was poor.
What County Head Fang said was not completely correct. Sea City was indeed near the sea, but Ximen was not. Ximen was geographically located in the west of the inland of Sea City, still some distance from the sea.
What County Head Chen said made sense. Fang Xiao nodded with a smile and sighed. If Ximen was also near the sea, it might not be as poor as it was now. At least it would have a certain geographical advantage. Take the neighboring Anlin City for example. Anlin was near the sea and had a superior geographical location. Among the more than ten districts and counties under Sea City, Anlin City could probably be ranked in the top three. It was also one of the first county-level cities in Sea City to be established. The degree of economic development was completely incomparable to Ximen.
County Head Fang seemed to be quite familiar with Anlin?
No, he had visited Anlin before. The private economy there was very active, and there were many large-scale private enterprises. He just sighed with emotion. He didn't know when Ximen could catch up with the level of Anlin City. Fang Xiao smiled and shook his head. They were both counties under Sea City, but the difference was so big.
Although Ximen was a little backward, with the background of Sea City's rapid economic development, he believed that Ximen would be able to develop one day. The city would not allow Ximen to maintain its current situation. He believed that in the future, they would increase their support for Ximen.
He hoped so. Fang Xiao smiled, and there was a hint of hope in his eyes. In addition to being the official of Ximen, he was also a native of Ximen. This was his ardent hope and hope that Ximen could develop and get out of poverty.
Chen Xing had been quietly observing Fang Xiao. The expression on Fang Xiao's face did not escape his eyes. He was touched and could not help but take another look at Fang Xiao.
Is Chief County Head Chen surprised that I asked you to come today?
That's right. Chen Xing sat up slightly and focused his attention. Fang Xiao was finally going to get to the point.
Chief County Head Chen, to be honest, I admire you a little for opposing the car purchase plan proposed by County Head Li this morning. Fang Xiao looked at Chen Xing and said sincerely. Originally, I didn't intend to ask you out so soon. I wanted to observe you for a while. After the meeting this morning, I knew that you went to the Public Security Bureau soon after returning to your office, and it was for the sake of several residents of Shanty Town. I thought about it for a long time in the afternoon and decided to ask you out for a talk.
As Fang Xiao said this, he carefully watched Chen Xing's reaction. He did not say his real evaluation of Chen Xing before. He just heard that the new deputy county head was only 28 years old. After careful inquiry, he learned that the new deputy county head was the secretary of Zhou Mingfang, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee who had been transferred to the Provincial Party Committee. At that time, Fang Xiao actually had a bad impression of Chen Xing in his heart. He defined Chen Xing as a person who relied on flattery and flattery to get to his position. He came to Xi Men just to get some gold plating and make his resume more beautiful. It was not until this morning's meeting that Chen Xing opposed the car purchase plan proposed by County Head Li that Fang Xiao began to look at him in a different light. However, in the morning, Fang Xiao's opinion of Chen Xing was still a little extreme. He thought that Chen Xing was arrogant because he had someone behind him. He dared to look down on Lee Zheng when he first came to Xi Men. At noon, he heard that Chen Xing went to the Public Security Bureau for the sake of several residents of Shanty Town, and the cause was related to Lee Mingbo. After Fang Xiao figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he let go of some prejudice against Chen Xing in his heart and wanted to ask him out for a meeting.
"County Head Fang is really a clairvoyant and clairvoyant. You even know what I'm doing." Chen Xing glanced at Fang Xiao and was shocked. His first reaction was undoubtedly to suspect that Fang Xiao had sent someone to follow him.
"County Head Chen, please don't get me wrong. I heard from others that you went to the Public Security Bureau. Otherwise, I don't have the ability to know your every move." Fang Xiao saw the suspicion in Chen Xing's heart and hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Why did County Head Fang ask me out today?" Chen Xing nodded slightly and agreed with Fang Xiao's explanation.
"County Head Chen went to the Public Security Bureau for the sake of several residents of Shanty Town today. You must have heard about yesterday's car accident?
Yes, I happened to be at the scene of the accident yesterday. "
"Oh?" Fang Xiao looked at Chen Xing in surprise and said. "It's not the first time that Lee Mingbo killed someone with his Ferrari sports car. I only learned about yesterday's accident today. I heard that the injured person had died. This is the second person killed by Lee Mingbo in two months. If we let him go on like this, I don't know how many more people will die."
"County Head Fang is also concerned about this?" Chen Xing glanced at him and said in a heavy tone. "I don't understand. Has the whole public security system of Xi Men County become a decoration?" Lee Mingbo dared to drive a sports car in the downtown area unscrupulously. Killing people seemed to be a common thing for him. Did no one stand up to stop him? Let him get away with it? "
Fang Xiao looked up at Chen Xing and sighed. "I've been as angry as County Head Chen. What's funny is that as a deputy county head, I can't do anything about it."
Hearing Fang Xiao's words, Chen Xing fell silent. Lee Mingbo's father was the deputy secretary of the County Party Committee. In Xi Men, Lee Mingbo killed someone with his car. The relevant personnel would inevitably be interfered with by the higher-ups. Chen Xing could understand this situation, but if Lee Mingbo was so arrogant, Chen Xing couldn't imagine how many innocent lives would be spilled on his yellow Ferrari sports car.
"Does Deputy Secretary Lee just indulge his son and disregard the Party discipline and the national law?" Chen Xing felt that he was suffocating in his heart.
Deputy Secretary Lee only had one son, so he naturally took good care of him. Maybe Deputy Secretary Lee didn't want that kind of thing to happen, but since the accident had happened, Deputy Secretary Lee would definitely stand behind his son and cover it up.
It was human nature and understandable that Deputy Secretary Lee would show favoritism when it was related to his family and children. But after the first bloody lesson, would Deputy Secretary Lee not discipline his son well? Did he have to cause a second death? Or was human life so worthless in Deputy Secretary Lee's eyes?
"Well, Head County Head Chen, what you said is exactly what I think. But I don't know what Deputy Secretary Lee is thinking. He indulges his son to the extent that he lets him do whatever he wants."
"If Lee Mingbo is not brought to justice for this traffic accident and continues to get away with it, I don't know how many more lives will be lost in the future." Chen Xing's tone was firm.
"Does Head County Head Chen have any specific ideas?" Fang Xiao's face lit up. Chen Xing's words were exactly what he wanted.
Having made a decision in his heart, Chen Xing calmed down and looked at Fang Xiao. "County Head Fang has been paying attention to Li Mingbo's previous traffic accident. What's your opinion?"
"What opinion can I have? If Li Mingbo can be punished by the law, even if it's just to give him a slight lesson, I will try my best to do it. Unfortunately, my ability is limited after all. The most important thing is that the family of the deceased chose to compromise. They accepted a sum of money from the other party and no longer pursued the matter. So Li Mingbo can still be so arrogant and domineering. In addition, with the influence of Deputy Secretary Lee, the Public Security Bureau finally let it go. I can't do anything more alone." Fang Xiao said helplessly.
"The family of the deceased compromised?" Chen Xing was stunned.
"Yes, the family of the deceased compromised first. They mediated with the other party in private and no longer sued."
For ordinary people, perhaps private mediation was the wisest choice. Compared with the local powerful family like Li Mingbo, they were still a weak group. Private mediation might be able to get a sum of consolation money, but if they chose to go to court, for them, in the end, they would not get anything, and might even be threatened and threatened. Chen Xing shook his head helplessly.
"What Head County Head Chen said is right. So this time, if we want Li Mingbo to be punished by the law, not only the judicial organ needs to intervene, but also the attitude of the family of the deceased is very important. If the family of the deceased chooses to compromise at the critical moment, in the end, it is likely to be a repeat of the previous case."
Chen Xing nodded slightly. What Fang Xiao said was exactly what he was worried about. In a place like Ximen, Li Mingbo's father, Li Shaotong, as the deputy secretary of the County Party Committee, could use his power to interfere with the judicial organ. If the family of the deceased chose to compromise under the attack of the other party's money, it would be really difficult to deal with it.
"County Head Fang, I think we can use the influence of the media to do something."
"Use the media?" Fang Xiao glanced at Chen Xing and said worriedly. "It's not that I haven't thought of this method, but in this way, the matter will undoubtedly make a big fuss. I'm afraid that the leaders in the county will have an opinion if they know it."
"County Head Fang is worried that Secretary Wang will have an opinion after knowing the situation." Chen Xing saw through Fang Xiao's thoughts at once. Since the other party dared to find fault in Li Mingbo's matter, he should not be afraid of Li Shaotong. In Ximen County, the only person who can make Fang Xiao call comrade leader is Wang Dongchen, the secretary of the County Party Committee.
"Yes, if we use the media, I'm afraid it will cause a great social impact, which will have a certain negative impact on the image of our Ximen County. I'm afraid that Secretary Wang will have an opinion of us when he knows that we are behind the scenes." Fang Xiao smiled bitterly.
Chen Xing did not say anything. He could understand Fang Xiao's thoughts. Li Mingbo's matter had undoubtedly offended Li Shaotong. If he also offended Wang Dongchen, he was afraid that there would be no place for him in the Ximen County.
Just when the two of them were silent, there was a knock on the door. Fang Xiao got up and opened the door. A middle-aged man with a resolute face and wearing a police uniform came in. When Chen Xing looked at him, Fang Xiao had already introduced him. "County Head Chen, this is the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Lu Ming."
"Hello, County Head Chen." Lu Ming greeted Chen Xing respectfully.
Chen Xing nodded and glanced at Lu Ming. Now he finally knew why Fang Xiao knew that he went to the Public Security Bureau at noon.
