In the evening, Chen Xing arrived at the County Public Security Bureau. Lu Ming was already waiting for him in the office. As soon as Chen Xing entered the office, Lu Ming locked the door and invited Chen Xing to sit down. Lu Ming also sat down opposite Chen Xing. County Chen, I've arranged everything you asked me to do.
Lu Ming looked at Chen Xing with a serious face. Chen Xing asked him to send people to spy on Yao Ping. It was a big responsibility to secretly spy on a national official. The key was that Lu Ming didn't know why Chen Xing asked him to find two strangers.
Are the people you found reliable? Chen Xing asked Lu Ming.
County Chen, don't worry. They are all trustworthy people. They are tight-lipped and reliable. Lu Ming nodded affirmatively.
Good. Chen Xing smiled with satisfaction. He got close to Lu Ming, lowered his voice and told him his plan. Lu Ming, I plan to ask someone to pretend to be from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to go to Yao Ping's home and take him out. Then …
Is it feasible? Lu Ming was stunned. He thought that Chen Xing wanted him to kidnap Yao Ping and threaten him to ask whether there was anything fishy about the land bidding. He didn't expect that Chen Xing wanted to ask someone to pretend to be from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to get information out of Yao Ping's mouth.
It should be no problem. People like Yao Ping who had a guilty conscience were most afraid of people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If they played some tricks, Yao Ping would tell them. Chen Xing said confidently. But from his words, Lu Ming could tell that Chen Xing was not 100% sure about this method.
He was afraid that Yao Ping didn't have a guilty conscience. Or if he didn't confess, the problem would be serious. Lu Ming shook his head with a wry smile. Looking at Chen Xing in front of him, this young Deputy County Magistrate really opened his eyes today. His means were not simple at all. Lu Ming inexplicably felt a sense of awe towards Chen Xing.
Before we do anything, we can't have absolute confidence in success. If we can guarantee that we can succeed in the end, we don't need to make it so complicated. We can just report it to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. That will save us trouble. Chen Xing smiled disapprovingly. "This time, we have to take a gamble. There are only a few gambles in life. When it's time to make a decision, we shouldn't be timid and overcautious. Otherwise, we won't be able to achieve great things."
Well, since County Chen dares to take this gamble, then I have no reason to retreat. Lu Ming shook his head with a smile and took a deep look at Chen Xing. Lu Ming knew that after this matter, he would be completely tied to Chen Xing in the future. They would share weal and woe, and their relationship would be even closer in the future.
Lu Ming sighed in his heart. No one could predict what would happen in the future. Now, he was betting on Chen Xing. Lu Ming had full confidence in the young Chen Xing. He also believed in his own judgment, especially that Chen Xing had such means. Chen Xing was a ruthless and decisive person. Such a person was definitely suitable to survive in the officialdom. Today, Chen Xing asked him to do such a thing, which also showed that Chen Xing trusted him. These factors finally made Lu Ming dare to bet his future on Chen Xing. "Lu Ming, don't worry.
Lu Ming, don't worry. This matter isn't that serious. Even if what you said happens in the end, it won't affect us much. I asked you to find two unfamiliar faces so that Yao Ping won't be able to recognize them at all. If we can't get anything out of them, then we'll let Yao Ping go. We just need to target Yao Ping's mentality and it will be fine. Even if Yao Ping really suspects something, he won't dare to say anything. Most of the officers are more cautious when facing the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Yao Ping will definitely avoid talking about this. I feel that we don't need to worry about Yao Ping revealing anything. Of course, if we can get anything out of Yao Ping, then everything will be fine and we won't have to worry about anything. Seeing Lu Ming's serious look, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile and say in a relaxed manner.
County Chen, I didn't know why you asked me to find two unfamiliar faces, so I looked for them in the police station. Now that I heard your plan, I'm afraid I'll have to change the candidates. Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "Just in case, we have to be prepared for failure, so we have to make sure that Yao Ping won't recognize us even if we pretend to be people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. So, we have to eliminate the people I found in the police station. After all, they are all in the county. If Yao Ping bumps into them in the future, he will suspect the Public Security Bureau. At that time, I'm afraid Yao Ping won't let it go. I think we'd better be safe.
County Chen, how about this? Zhao Yide from the Dashan Police Station is very reliable. I'll ask him to pick two people from his station. That will be very safe. Dashan is a remote place, and people in the county rarely go there. I believe the possibility of Yao Ping going there is almost zero, and the possibility of him bumping into them is almost zero.
That's fine. You've thought it through. It's good to be cautious. " Chen Xing smiled and acquiesced. Lu Ming's consideration was based on the assumption that the plan would fail in the end. Chen Xing didn't object to Lu Ming's cautiousness, but he was very confident in this plan. Although he wasn't 100% sure, Chen Xing had a vague feeling that he would succeed.
Dashan is a little far from the county. It's around five o 'clock now, so they will arrive at seven o' clock. We have to wait for a while. Lu Ming looked up at the clock on the wall and said.
It's okay. It's still early at seven o 'clock, and we can't act so fast. My plan is to take action at around nine o' clock. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand. The night was dark, and the wind was strong. Let's try to get Yao Ping's information at midnight.
Seeing that Chen Xing agreed, Lu Ming walked aside to make a phone call.
Zhao Yide, the director of the Dashan Police Station, was his old subordinate, a relatively young cadre. At first, Lu Ming wanted to arrange a better place for him, but he was ostracized by Han Dong and Rong Peng in the county bureau. In the end, his old subordinate was also arranged to be sent to the remote Dashan Town. Now that Lu Ming was the director, he naturally wanted to help his old subordinate.
After Lu Ming made the phone call, Chen Xing didn't stay idle. Last night, he drank with Huang Ming, and Chen Xing also told Huang Ming to do something for tonight's preparation. At this moment, he was worried and afraid that Huang Ming would forget, so he called Huang Ming again and asked how things were going.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock …" The big clock on the wall ticked away, which was particularly ear-piercing in the quiet office. Chen Xing and Lu Ming sat and waited. As the time approached, Lu Ming stood up and walked from time to time, which more or less showed that he was not calm at this time.
At around six o 'clock in the evening, Lu Ming received a call from the police officer he sent to follow Yao Ping, reporting Yao Ping's whereabouts. Lu Ming hung up and turned to Chen Xing. "Yao Ping went to a social engagement in Chenggong Building.
It's okay. That's the best. Social engagements always require drinking. If he drinks too much, it'll be more convenient for us. " Chen Xing smiled.
County Chen, it's time for dinner now.
I think we shouldn't just sit here and do nothing. How about ordering some stir-fried dishes? Lu Ming went back to the sofa and sat down. The people from Mountain Town will probably arrive in more than an hour. If we sit here and wait, I'm afraid we'll be starving.
We definitely have to eat. If we don't eat now, we won't have the strength to work at night. When the time comes, although we can't show up, we have to follow them to avoid any mistakes. Chen Xing smiled and nodded. After eating, he would have the energy to spend time with Yao Ping at midnight.
The two of them ordered a few takeaways and ate in Lu Ming's office. At 7: 30 pm, the Dashan Town Police Station's Superintendent, Zhao Yide, came over with two police officers. He instructed them to wait outside while Zhao Yide pushed open the door of the Superintendent's office and entered. Once he entered, Zhao Yide started yelling loudly. "Head Lu, you're already the Superintendent. Why did you leave me in Dashan Town, a place where even birds don't shit? Hurry up and find me a better place to stay."
Be quiet. What are you shouting for? " Lu Ming glared at Zhao Yide and shook his head helplessly. Zhao Yide was one of his most capable subordinates. The reason why Lu Ming thought of Zhao Yide first was because he wanted Zhao Yide to show his face in front of Chen Xing.
Oh, you have a guest. Zhao Yide was slightly taken aback when he saw Chen Xing sitting at the side. Following which, his expression turned slightly more serious. However, looking at that smile, Chen Xing could not associate him with the chief of the police station no matter how hard he tried. Zhao Yide gave off the vibe of a bandit. Overall, he looked more like a bandit. The police cap on his head was half askew and drooped at an angle, making him look rather comical.
Zhao Yide. Seeing Zhao Yide's appearance, Lu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Here." Zhao Yide responded and stood at attention with a snap. Mountain Town Police Station, Zhao Yide reporting for duty. Chief Lu, if you have any instructions, please let me know.
Okay, okay, don't give me that. Lu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his beloved general. If he didn't know Lu Ming's character, he might have vomited blood in anger. This is Magistrate Chen of the county. Hurry up and come over.
Zhao Yide was shocked. He didn't know Chen Xing. Mountain Town was far away from the county and the road out of the town was not easy, so Zhao Yide didn't come to the county many times. Recently, when Lu Ming became the director, Zhao Yide went to the county to congratulate his old boss. At that time, he didn't see Chen Xing, so he didn't know what Chen Xing looked like. He only heard Lu Ming mention him and knew that the new deputy county magistrate was very young. Zhao Yide turned to look at Chen Xing. Although he had heard about him before, he was still surprised that the deputy county magistrate looked about the same age as him. Zhao Yide didn't dare to be negligent and walked up quickly. "Hello, County Magistrate Chen."
Zhao Yide greeted Chen Xing respectfully. Thinking of his sloppy look when he just came in, Zhao Yide was a little embarrassed. He didn't know if he would leave a bad impression on Chen Xing. Lu Ming, his old boss, had mentioned that he could become the director this time because of Chen Xing's secret operation. This also made Zhao Yide have a good impression of Chen Xing, who he had never met before. Quietly glancing at Chen Xing, Zhao Yide braced himself and said, "County Magistrate Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were inside just now. My performance is really …" Zhao Yide couldn't find any words to say for a moment. He looked at Lu Ming anxiously, asking him to help him quickly.
"His performance is really f * cked up." Lu Ming glared at his trusted subordinate again and scolded him with a smile. Turning to Chen Xing, Lu Ming was still explaining to Zhao Yide. "County Magistrate Chen, this guy is like this.
Usually, when there is nothing to do, he is always smiling and not serious. When there is a task, he is serious. He is good at handling cases, steady and capable, and can stand up at critical moments. "
"Really?" Chen Xing looked at Zhao Yide with a smile. Perhaps it was because Zhao Yide was about the same age as him, and it was easier for young people to speak the same language. After observing for a while, Chen Xing actually had a good impression of Zhao Yide. Staring at the crooked hat on Zhao Yide's head, Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
"Sorry, sorry, my hat is crooked." Seeing that Chen Xing's gaze lingered on his head for a while and his smile was a little strange, Zhao Yide had already realized what was wrong with him. He hurriedly took off his hat.
The national emblem was on his head. Next time he wore a hat, he had to wear it properly. Otherwise, it would be a blasphemy to the national emblem. Chen Xing pointed at the national emblem on his hat and said with a slightly serious tone.
"Yes, I will. There will be no next time." Zhao Yide hurriedly replied.
Chen Xing and Lu Ming looked at each other. Lu Ming already said, "Yide, I asked you to bring two people here. Have you brought them?"
"Yes, they are outside." Zhao Yide pointed outside. Seeing that his matter was over and Chen Xing didn't seem to be dissatisfied with him, Zhao Yide finally heaved a sigh of relief. Under Lu Ming's signal, he walked over and asked in confusion, "Lu Tou, what is going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"I will let you know when I need to let you know." Lu Ming's expression became serious. "Are both of them absolutely reliable?"
"Hehe, Lu Tou, don't worry. The people I bring out will not be wrong. I have trained new people according to the method you taught me." Zhao Yide said confidently.
Lu Ming nodded slightly at Chen Xing. He trusted Zhao Yide very much. At this time, when Zhao Yide said so, Lu Ming was hinting to Chen Xing that they were more reliable. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't say anything, Lu Ming said, "Bring your people in. I have something to tell them."
Zhao Yide brought his people in. This time, Chen Xing sat aside and didn't say anything. This time, Lu Ming didn't introduce Chen Xing's identity to the two policemen. He just told them about the task tonight.
When the two ordinary policemen heard that they were to pretend to be people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and go to the Deputy Director of the Land and Resources Bureau of Bing County, Yao Ping, they were both shocked. Chen Xing had been observing the two people brought in by Zhao Yide. Although they were shocked, they didn't show any signs of panic. Chen Xing secretly nodded in his heart. The key of tonight's task was these two people who were going to pretend to be people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. If they showed any signs of panic, they would give themselves away. Yao Ping was not a fool. It would be easy for him to find out. At that time, if they kept their mouths shut, the task would be declared a failure.
"How about it? Are you confident that you can do it well?" Lu Ming told them the roles they had to play and the task they had to complete in detail. He looked at them seriously. If they couldn't do it, he would have to replace them.
After hearing the ins and outs of the task, Zhao Yide's expression became serious. He looked at Chen Xing and Lu Ming with a hint of shock. The excited gene in his bones had started to become restless. He complained in his heart, "Damn it. Lu Tou and County Magistrate Chen want to do something big tonight. Why didn't they choose me?"
Seeing that his two subordinates were silent at this critical moment, Zhao Yide stomped his feet angrily. How could they be so disappointing at this critical moment? Zhao Yide muttered in his heart. However, after thinking for a while, he knew what they were worried about. Zhao Yide said to Lu Ming, "Lu Tou, can you let me talk to them alone?" When Zhao Yide spoke, he looked at Chen Xing because he knew that only Chen Xing could make the decision now.
Chen Xing hesitated for a while. Tonight's matter was too important. After all, he didn't know Zhao Yide very well. He glanced at Lu Ming and saw that Lu Ming was nodding at him secretly. Chen Xing finally nodded in agreement. He could only choose to believe Lu Ming. Director Zhao, you can talk to them alone.
Zhao Yide pulled his two subordinates aside and whispered to them for a while. Although his voice wasn't loud, Chen Xing and Lu Ming could hear what he was saying since they were in the same office. Zhao Yide said in exasperation, "This is a chance for you two to make a contribution in front of Chief Lu. Look at how wishy-washy you two are, how can you two act like men? I asked you two to pretend to be people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection to deceive a corrupt official and force him to reveal his true colors. It's not like it's a bad thing. What are you two afraid of? To be honest, when I was the same age as you two, I wasn't afraid of anything. Can't you two show some courage? I brought you two here to give you a chance to make a name for yourselves. I didn't ask you two to come here to act like cowards. You two are purposely making me lose face. What have I taught you two? Why don't you show me some face at the critical moment? If I knew this, I wouldn't have brought you two here tonight. I would have brought Xiao Li and Xiao Chen instead. You two are too disappointing."
Hearing Zhao Yide scolding his subordinates, Chen Xing was stunned. He even looked at Lu Ming with a strange expression. Lu Ming hurriedly waved his hands and smiled bitterly. "County Chen, don't look at me like that. I'm much more serious than this guy. I don't know what this guy is doing. He has learned all my skills, but his temperament hasn't changed at all. I'm curious. How could a serious person like me have such a subordinate?"
"Lu Ming, I don't think so. Your trusted subordinate was trained by you, so his temperament must be more or less influenced by you. I guess I can see your shadow in him." Chen Xing joked.
"County Chen, you've really wronged me. You've been with me for a long time. Don't you know how I talk and do things? How can I be as unreliable as this guy?" Lu Ming put on a wronged expression. "It seems that after tonight, I have to train this guy well. Otherwise, people who don't know the truth will think that this guy was taught by me and I'm just like him."
Chen Xing and Lu Ming joked with each other. They didn't pay attention to what Zhao Yide said to his subordinates. After a while, Zhao Yide came with his two subordinates. When Lu Ming looked at them again, they were already staring at Lu Ming with shining eyes. "Director Lu, we're going all out. We'll do whatever you ask us to do. I promise to complete the task."
Zhao Yide sat leisurely at the side. Seeing the performance of his two subordinates, he showed a satisfied expression. He looked at Lu Ming with a little pride, as if he wanted to take credit from Lu Ming. "Looks like I'm good at leading people."
"It's good that you're confident." Lu Ming nodded and said seriously. "I'll tell you the details later. There's still more than an hour before the operation starts. You guys came from the town in a hurry. Go eat something first. We'll have to stay up all night. Eat your fill."
After the two policemen left, Zhao Yide looked at Lu Ming eagerly. "Why didn't you ask me to do this? It's just pretending to be people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. It's not like I can't do it."
"After all, you're the director of a police station. It's more likely that Yao Ping will recognize you. Moreover, you used to work in the county, so you can't do it." Lu Ming shook his head and asked worriedly. "Are you sure you can do it?"
"Don't worry, Director Lu. Although they were hesitant just now, it doesn't mean they can't do it. They are mentally strong. It's just that they didn't know what was at stake. Hehe, I've explained it to them and they'll naturally agree." Zhao Yide chuckled and said regretfully, "If only I could do this. I'd like to join in the fun."
"Don't worry about me. Hurry up and go eat." Lu Ming scolded him and glanced at Chen Xing. He thought to himself, "Just now, Chen Xing misunderstood me. I'm not a decent person. I'll settle this score later."
"Okay, I'll go now." Zhao Yide nodded with a smile. Before he left, he couldn't help glancing at Chen Xing. He had already figured out the situation at night. It should be Chen Xing who did this. Lu Ming was just carrying out the order. Zhao Yide and Lu Ming had the same reaction to Chen Xing's means. They were both secretly shocked. "Chen Xing can play dirty and ruthless." Thinking that Chen Xing was about the same age as him, Zhao Yide smiled bitterly in his heart. "Chen Xing is a deputy director level cadre, while I'm a unit level cadre in a remote mountain town. Their statuses are worlds apart."
At about nine o 'clock in the evening, Chen Xing gave the last instructions to two policemen in his office. One of them was Jiang Fei, and the other was Zhao Xi. Chen Xing remembered their names. At this moment, the two policemen had changed into dark suits. Chen Xing took out two forged work cards of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and gave one to each of them. He told them in detail some details to pay attention to.
Outside the Public Security Bureau, two cars with license plates of Hai City were parked. They were rented by Chen Xing. In the evening, Huang Ming asked someone to drive the cars to Ximen and parked them outside the Public Security Bureau of the county. One was driven by Huang Ming, and the other was driven by someone he hired. Huang Ming paid the hired person and asked him to drive back to Hai City. Huang Ming himself stayed. Chen Xing asked him to rent a few rooms in the hotel. He had to lead the way for Chen Xing and the others.
"Huang Ming, you'll drive for them. Don't talk on the way. You're in charge of driving and don't look back." Chen Xing warned Huang Ming seriously.
"I got it. You've said it once. Don't be so long-winded." Huang Ming agreed with a smile. "I don't know what you're up to tonight. You're still pretending to be mysterious."
"I'll tell you when it's over." Chen Xing smiled.
Jiang Fei and Zhao Xi sat in the car driven by Huang Ming. Chen Xing, Lu Ming, and Zhao Yide followed in the other car. Lu Ming kept in touch with the policemen he sent to follow them from time to time. At this time, Yao Ping was still socializing in the hotel. According to the response of the people he sent over, everyone at the banquet had stood up. It seemed that the banquet was about to end.
"County Chen, should we go outside the hotel or to Yao Ping's home?" Lu Ming asked for Chen Xing's opinion.
"I think we'd better wait outside Yao Ping's home." Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and said.
