Lu Ming also did not speak. Looking at Chen Xing walking back and forth, he also knew that this matter was of great importance. Wang Dongchen's matter was not something they could handle. It involved the secretary of the County Party Committee. This matter would definitely alarm Huang Kunming, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Only when Huang Kunming gave his consent could it be possible to investigate Wang Dongchen.
"No, I have to go to the city immediately." Chen Xing suddenly stopped, walked back to his desk, tidied up a little, and carefully put the notebook into his briefcase. Chen Xing planned to go to the Municipal Party Committee in person. Looking up at Lu Ming, Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Lu Ming, come with me."
Lu Ming nodded hurriedly. Knowing that Chen Xing was going to meet the leaders of the city, his face also showed a little joy. For Chen Xing, it was not difficult to meet the leaders of the city, but for him, there were not many opportunities to show his face in front of the leaders of the city. Although Chen Xing did not say which leader he was going to meet, he guessed that it was probably Huang Kunming. This kind of opportunity was very precious to him. As the director of the county Public Security Bureau, he was not even qualified for Huang Kunming to remember his name. Today, when the governor came for an inspection, he stood as far behind as he could.
In the yard of the district headquarters, everyone only saw the scene of Chen Xing and Lu Ming leaving in a hurry. No one could guess what had happened, and no one could imagine that a real earthquake was about to take place in the officialdom of Ximen County. The fuse was caused by Baldy Li's lover, a woman outside the system. Today was the day when Governor Zhang Guohua came to Ximen County for an inspection. It had only been three or four hours since Zhang Guohua left. At this time, it was about six or seven o 'clock in the evening. The days in late autumn were somewhat short. At about six o' clock, the night had fallen quietly and the earth was shrouded in darkness.
Today was destined to not be a peaceful day. First, Chen Tan was taken away by the investigation team from the city, followed by the governor, Zhang Guohua. Although Wang Dongchen was old and strong, he was still a 56-year-old man. His energy could not be compared to a young man like Chen Xing. Especially when Wang Dongchen was worried about Chen Tan, his face showed signs of fatigue. Many of the office lights in the county committee building had been switched off, but the lights in the secretary's office and the surrounding offices were still on.
Wang Dongchen did not go back. Chen Jun, as a secretary, had to stay in the office. This was the only thing a secretary could do. He had to be on standby at all times. Whenever the leader had an order, he had to be the first to appear. Wang Dongchen locked himself in his office, thinking about Chen Tan. He had to come up with a response as soon as possible to prevent himself from being in a disadvantageous position in the future. Chen Tan was an old cadre that he had promoted. He had a very close relationship with him. Now that Chen Tan was in trouble, he might be implicated. Of course, Wang Dongchen believed that Chen Tan was also a veteran in the system. He should be smart enough to know what to say and what not to say.
Reality proved that Wang Dongchen was right. Chen Tan was not Chen Quanqing. Interrogation methods were useless against him. Furthermore, Chen Tan was a cadre of the government. He could not use the same methods that were used against Chen Quanqing to deal with him. But then again, Chen Tan was taken away by the city's investigation team. The interrogators were from the investigation team, not the county's police. Compared to the county's police, the investigation team had people from the city's disciplinary committee. This was undoubtedly a great deterrent to Chen Tan. However, Chen Tan's lips were tightly sealed. He took full responsibility for the report. This was not because Chen Tan was loyal, but because he knew that exposing Wang Dongchen would not do him any good.
Wang Dongchen's office door was tightly shut. He was thinking about how to put out the fire. Today, Zhang Guohua had praised Chen Xing in public. This was a fatal blow to Wang Dongchen's confidence and prestige. Zhang Guohua did not need to do anything else, such as asking about the investigation of Chen Xing. As long as he came down and said a sentence of approval for Chen Xing, it would be an indescribable help to Chen Xing. One should not underestimate the weight of a provincial cadre's words. Even if it was just a casual sentence, it was enough to make the city and county cadre tremble in fear and let their imaginations run wild.
Today, Zhang Guohua's words had already made some of the more neutral cadre in the county feel that they should adjust their position at the right time. These people, although individually, did not have much weight, but together, they were a force that could not be ignored. Even the people in Wang Dongchen's camp had a relatively pessimistic view. They felt that the Secretary might not be able to suppress the County Magistrate. Therefore, the impact on Wang Dongchen's prestige could be imagined.
Wang Dongchen did not want to compete with Chen Xing now. Intentionally or unintentionally, he wanted to suppress Chen Xing. Alright, he had to admit that he might not be able to suppress Chen Xing. But now, he only wanted to be the County Secretary and retire safely. This was not a high request, was it? At this moment, this had obviously become a rather thorny problem. He had to solve Chen Tan's matter first, otherwise, Wang Dongchen would not be able to feel at ease.
Chen Jun stayed in the small office beside the Secretary's office. Wang Dongchen's expression was ugly. He locked himself in the office and Chen Jun did not dare to disturb him. At this moment, he was holding his phone and chatting with the woman who called him during the day.
He had promised to support her tonight, and judging from the situation tonight, he didn't know when he would be able to leave. However, Chen Jun's mood was obviously affected. His fingers clicked on the keys of his phone and sent a message to the other party. Chen Jun's mind wasn't on it, and from his frown from time to time, it could be seen that Chen Jun was also irritated.
Chen Jun had to think about his future. It seemed like Wang Dongchen's ship would not be able to sail safely. Chen Jun had to plan for himself. Thinking back to the morning when Chen Tan was taken away by the city's investigation team outside the secretary's office, and he had witnessed it all, Chen Jun's legs were still a little weak. Chen Tan's fate today could very well be his tomorrow. Both of them had direct contact with Chen Quanqing. Chen Jun did not know if Chen Quanqing had sold him out, but he had only received some money from Chen Quanqing. If this was any other time, Wang Dongchen would have just raised his hand and it would have been settled. But now, Chen Jun did not dare to have such hopes. This was because Wang Dongchen's current situation was not favorable, and the saddest thing was that Wang Dongchen, as the county's secretary, did not have direct control over the Public Security Bureau.
Although Secretary Wang might be implicated by Chen Tan, he should not lose his position as County Secretary. And Chen Tan might not say anything, so Secretary Wang should be fine. But today, Governor Zhang clearly showed his appreciation for Chen Xing. This was a huge blow to Secretary Wang. In the future, who in Xi Men County could suppress Chen Xing? Chen Jun was texting, but his mind was thinking about something else. Although he felt that Wang Dongchen's current situation was not good, he would not think about the possibility of Wang Dongchen losing his position. He thought that at most, Wang Dongchen would be suppressed by Chen Xing in the future, and things would not be that serious.
Other than Lu Ming and Zhao Yide, Li Chunfang's matter was now joined by Chen Xing. The matter would not enter the ears of a fourth person. Whether it was Wang Dongchen, Chen Jun, or anyone else, no one would have thought that Li Chunfang, an unremarkable woman who used to be Baldy Li's mistress, would do something that could pierce through the Xi Men County's bureaucracy. At least, at this moment, while Chen Jun was analyzing Wang Dongchen's situation, he was thinking about how he could make use of the time when Wang Dongchen was still in office to quickly make more money. In the future, when Wang Dongchen retired, his career might not be any better. Chen Jun felt that it was better to make more money for himself now. This would be the insurance for his future life. If he had money, he could just emigrate.
Hearing the commotion in the Secretary's office next door, Chen Jun quickly put away his phone and walked out. He looked up at Wang Dongchen's expression. He could tell from Wang Dongchen's expression if there was anything he needed to do.
Little Chen, if there's nothing going on tonight, you can go back first. Wang Dongchen said as he walked forward. Chen Jun went downstairs, opened the car door for Wang Dongchen, and closed it. He watched Wang Dongchen get into the car and leave the county committee. Chen Jun stood there for a while, then shook his head and left. Based on his understanding of Wang Dongchen, Wang Dongchen should not be going home.
Since he did not need to do anything, Chen Jun could not be bothered to think about it. Although he was worried that Chen Quanqing might have sold him out, there was no movement at the moment. Chen Jun thought that he should be safe. Chen Tan was just unlucky enough to be implicated in the report, which was why the investigation team had their eyes on him. This fire should not burn him.
Although he was thinking about it, there was still a trace of haze in his heart that could not be dispelled. After calming himself down, Chen Jun decided not to think about this headache anymore. He went to relax and use it as a way to vent. Recently, he was also quite infatuated with the girl in the bar.
Chen Xing and Lu Ming did not even have dinner. On the way, Chen Xing had called Huang Kunming's secretary, Zhao Bin, and asked if he could meet with Huang Kunming at night. Chen Xing was going through the proper procedures. He could have chosen to call Huang Kunming directly, but that was clearly overstepping his status. However, Chen Xing had made up his mind. Regardless of whether Huang Kunming could arrange a time to meet with him, he had to meet with him at night.
At this time, it was already time to get off work. Zhao Bin did not dare to make the decision on his own. The key was that he was attending a social event with Huang Kunming at the hotel. If it was someone else, Zhao Bin would have directly declined the invitation, saying that Huang Kunming was not free tonight. Today, Chen Xing was the center of attention. Zhao Bin did not dare to ignore Chen Xing's call. He lowered his head and whispered Chen Xing's request to Huang Kunming. He said that Chen Xing had a very important matter. Huang Kunming only frowned slightly and then nodded.
Chen Xing and Lu Ming did not take a car to the Municipal Party Committee. They went directly to the hotel where Huang Kunming was attending the social event. Huang Kunming met them in a new room. Chen Xing did not talk nonsense. He directly handed the notebook about Wang Dongchen, which was recorded by Li baldy, to Huang Kunming. Secretary Huang, this is the evidence received by the County Public Security Bureau. Please take a look.
Huang Kunming gave him a puzzled look, then took the book and began to read it. Zhao Bin was also a little curious. He kept glancing at the book from the corner of his eyes, but unfortunately, he couldn't get a clear look. However, from Huang Kunming's increasingly serious expression, Zhao Bin knew that the contents of the book were probably not light. For Chen Xing to rush over in the middle of the night and say that it was an extremely important matter, this was enough to explain the situation. Zhao Bin glanced at Lu Ming, who was dressed in a police uniform beside Chen Xing, then quietly sat to one side.
How did he get this notebook? Is it credible? Huang Kunming looked at Chen Xing.
This is Comrade Lu Ming from our County Public Security Bureau. Chen Xing introduced Lu Ming to Huang Kunming. "Lu Ming, tell this matter in detail to Secretary Huang."
Lu Ming nodded. This was the first time that he had the opportunity to show his face alone in front of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. Lu Ming was excited. He tried his best to calm down and told Huang Kunming the ins and outs of the matter. Lu Ming explained the matter in detail to Huang Kunming.
Speaking of the Entertainment City, even Huang Kunming had heard about it. After all, it was a case directly handled by the Provincial Department, and drugs were found. Because of this, Huang Kunming also paid attention to the small Entertainment City in Ximen County. At this moment, hearing Lu Ming's words, Huang Kunming could not help but interrupt. So, Li Shun, who had a car accident, was the boss of the Entertainment City?
Yes, on the surface, he was the boss of the Entertainment City. However, according to his notebook, when Lu Ming said this, he looked at Chen Xing's face without batting an eyelid. Chen Xing nodded slightly, so Lu Ming continued. According to this notebook, Secretary Wang was the boss behind the scenes of the Entertainment City, because Li Shun gave 60% of the Entertainment City's income to Secretary Wang every year.
Huang Kunming pondered and did not speak. All the numbers recorded in the notebook were intuitive. There was no reason for him not to understand it. However, if what was recorded in it was true, the amount of money involved would be tens of millions. It would be sensational if it was spread out. Moreover, although Lu Ming did not dare to say some words directly, Huang Kunming was not a fool. How could he not understand it? Wang Dongchen was suspected to be related to Li Shun's death.
Chen Xing and Lu Ming did not speak. Whether to investigate the case or not, it was up to Huang Kunming to decide. However, it was Chen Xing who came to Huang Kunming directly, which obviously affected Huang Kunming's decision. Glancing at Chen Xing, Huang Kunming also smiled bitterly in his heart. It was Chen Xing who came to him. How could he not investigate this case? If he deliberately suppressed this case, who knew whether it would be passed to the ears of Zhou Mingfang or even Zhang Guohua. He did not know what the relationship between Chen Xing and Zhang Guohua was.
"Investigate it. We can't wrongly accuse any cadres, and we can't let go of any corrupt people." Huang Kunming put the notebook on the table in front of him and told Zhao Bin to call Secretary Feng and ask him to come over now.
Both Chen Xing and Lu Ming looked excited. Huang Kunming called Secretary Feng Yun in front of them. Obviously, he expressed his determination to investigate this matter. Lu Ming looked at Chen Xing with a little excitement. Ximen County was really going to change. Obviously, they would benefit the most from this matter. If Chen Xing could take over Wang Dongchen's position, it would also be a great thing for Lu Ming.
You are in a hurry to come here. Have you eaten? Huang Kunming glanced at Chen Xing and Lu Ming. From their expressions, he could tell that something was amiss. He smiled at Zhao Bin and instructed the servants to serve another table of dishes.
Compared to Wang Dongchen's case, Huang Kunming was obviously very interested in the possible relationship between Chen Xing and Zhang Guohua. His words were probing without leaving any trace. At his level, it was impossible for his speech skills to be bad. Chen Xing, on the other hand, was aware of Huang Kunming's intention to probe, but how could he say such things out loud? He could only pretend not to hear it and deal with it with a smile. In Huang Kunming's eyes, Chen Xing's reaction was even more unfathomable. Huang Kunming couldn't figure out the meaning behind Chen Xing's words, but in his heart, he was increasingly certain that there must be some kind of unusual relationship between the two.
Lu Ming had the honor to eat at the same table with the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but obviously, he had no right to interrupt. Lu Ming was also sensible. He ate when it was time to eat and remained silent. At this time, he was just a bystander.
Not long after, Secretary Feng Yun came over. Since Huang Kunming invited him, Feng Yun did not dare to neglect and rushed over from home. He felt it strange that Huang Kunming wanted to meet him in the hotel. When he entered the door and saw Chen Xing and Lu Ming, Feng Yun was more confused. He did not know Lu Ming, but it was impossible that Chen Xing did not know him. During the day, he was not accompanying the governor to inspect, but the scene of the governor praising Chen Xing had reached his ears. So at this time, Feng Yun also smiled and nodded to Chen Xing.
Secretary Feng, I hope I didn't disturb your rest by calling you over so late at night. Huang Kunming smiled and made a joke. Feng Yun did not dare to be careless and smiled repeatedly. Although Huang Kunming had not yet gained a firm foothold in Hai City, he had to correct his attitude. After all, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the top leader of the Party Committee. In the end, the Commission for Discipline Inspection still worked under the leadership of the Party Committee. He would not get involved in the fight between Huang Kunming and Zhao Yiping, but it was impossible for him to sit on Zhao Yiping's side.
This was just sent by Chen Xing. Take a look first. Huang Kunming pushed the notebook in front of Feng Yun.
Feng Yun's reaction was exactly the same as Huang Kunming's. After reading it carefully, Feng Yun looked at Huang Kunming with a serious expression. Secretary Huang, if what was recorded in this notebook was true, then the amount of money involved in the case was quite shocking.
Whether it was true or not, they had to investigate first to know. This was the evidence obtained by the Ximen County Public Security Bureau. If Secretary Feng had any doubts, he could directly ask Director Lu. Huang Kunming's gaze swept over Lu Ming. At this time, Feng Yun also knew that Lu Ming was the Director of the Ximen County Public Security Bureau.
Compared with Huang Kunming's simple questions, Feng Yun's questions were undoubtedly more professional and detailed. The case directly involved the Secretary of the County Party Committee, so Feng Yun, the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, was also very cautious.
