Zhu Huadong, who worked in the central government of the Provincial Party Committee, had many channels to inquire about information. He directly inquired about it from the Provincial High People's Procuratorate. Finally, after peeling away layer by layer, Zhu Huadong couldn't help but gasp when he got the answer. This matter involved Governor Zhang Guohua. With such news, Zhu Huadong had to severely warn his bold younger brother not to act recklessly. At the same time, Zhu Huadong called Chen Xing. His purpose was to pass the message to Zhang Guohua through Chen Xing.
Zhu Huadong didn't know why Zhang Guohua would pay attention to a small deputy county magistrate, but after connecting the whole thing together, it was not difficult for Zhu Huadong to focus on Chen Xing. That night, Chen Xing and Zeng Jing's car were smashed in Kaiyuan County, and the car was left in Kaiyuan County. After that, Zhu Mingxuan found out the identity of Chen Xing and Zeng Jing by investigating the license plate number. They were just the deputy director of the Public Security Sub-bureau and the county magistrate of Ximen County, so Zhu Mingxuan really didn't take them seriously at all. Although he also had doubts in his heart, he didn't know how these two people could invite the senior officials of the military. But doubts aside, after figuring out the details of Chen Xing and Zeng Jing, Zhu Mingxuan ignored the doubts in his heart. This was also the reason why he dared to bring people from the Municipal Procuratorate to the hotel to stop Wu Gang.
But in the end, this matter even alarmed Governor Zhang Guohua, which Zhu Mingxuan didn't expect. Last night, he sat with his brother-in-law, Zhang Xin, and they analyzed this matter together. In the end, Zhang Xin said that he must tell this matter to his brother-in-law, Zhu Huadong, in case there was any big change. It was really too scary for people at the provincial level to care about this matter.
Zhu Huadong knew in advance that Wu Gang went to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to report Zhu Mingxuan. He got the news first and told his brother, Zhu Mingxuan, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time. He asked Zhu Mingxuan to clean up his mess and appease Wu Gang at the same time. He would suppress this matter with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, Zhu Huadong didn't expect that his brother would go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to arrest people again. Last night, Zhang Xin told Zhu Huadong in detail about this matter, and Zhu Huadong also paid attention to it. When he found out that it was Zhang Guohua's secretary, Yao Fei, who came out to greet the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhu Huadong became vigilant at once. He personally went to Zhang Xin's house and asked Zhu Mingxuan to tell him every detail of this matter in detail.
In the end, they came to the conclusion that Chen Xing helped Wu Gang behind the scenes because Wu Gang did not have a strong background. This was a fact that Zhu Mingxuan had already investigated. The two people who went to Kaiyuan County to pick up Wu Gang the night before were friends of Wu Gang, Chen Xing and Zeng Jing, whom he had met at the Provincial Party School. Through the two cars, they could find out their identities. As for the other young woman that night, they did not know her identity, but Zhu Mingxuan was sure that such a person existed.
After Zhu Mingxuan knew that the car was smashed, he called Wang Erfa over. Wang Erfa did not know that Wu Gang had come out, but he had seen Chen Xing and his men, so he told Zhu Mingxuan everything he knew. Zhu Mingxuan did not pay much attention to it the night before. Last night, the two brothers of the Zhu family sat together with Zhang Xin and talked about it. They connected all the information one by one, and then combined it with the information provided by several members of the Municipal Procuratorate who were at the military camp that night. The one who called the military chief was the beautiful woman described by Wang Erfa. They were roughly sure that the mysterious woman, whose identity could not be determined for the time being, might be the biggest mastermind behind this matter. It had to be said that the matters in the officialdom really could not stand up to the careful scrutiny of those who cared about it. Several members of the Zhu family sat together and connected every small detail. They immediately guessed the general situation. The only uncertain identity was Zhang Ningning.
It didn't matter if they were not sure. Several people from the Procuratorate who were present said that the woman was very close to Chen Xing. This inference was enough. Zhu Huadong turned his eyes to Chen Xing. Because he could not figure out the woman's background, Zhu Huadong decided to call Chen Xing personally. Chen Xing called Zhou Mingfang.
He had been a secretary before, so he was barely qualified to talk to him.
The most important thing was that the woman who was very close to Chen Xing might be the key figure who could invite Zhang Guohua. Therefore, Zhu Huadong thought that it was not too shameful for him to call Chen Xing in person. His ultimate goal was to settle this matter.
After Chen Xing and Wu Gang chatted on the phone for a while, they knew that the people of the Zhu family had smelled something. Otherwise, their attitude would not have changed 180 degrees. Zhu Mingxuan comforted Wu Gang, and even Zhu Huadong, the mainstay of the Zhu family, also called Chen Xing. If he had not inquired about it, Zhu Huadong would not have called Chen Xing in person at all, and he even used a tone of discussion. Although Zhu Huadong's so-called tone of discussion was a little overbearing and did not allow Chen Xing to question him, Zhu Huadong still expressed such an attitude after all. For Zhu Huadong, a popular person in front of the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, this was commendable. At least he was willing to bow his head indirectly.
"Since the people of the Zhu family have expressed their goodwill, what are you going to do, Brother Wu?" After figuring out the reason, Chen Xing finally asked Wu Gang for his opinion. If Wu Gang planned to continue to fight to the end, Chen Xing could not say that he would not support him. However, Zhu Huadong really could not be underestimated.
Wu Gang was very silent for a while. His mood was still very complicated. There was joy and relief. Zhu Mingxuan tactfully apologized to him and promised that as long as he returned to Kaiyuan, he could continue to be the deputy head of the county. As long as he no longer pestered the quality of the square project, Zhu Mingxuan would not deliberately make things difficult for him. Wu Gang knew that after Zhu Mingxuan said this, he was completely fine. But would they just shake hands and make peace? After all, Wu Gang was unwilling in his heart, but he could not ignore the influence of the giant Zhu family. Yes, the Zhu family did not even have a cadre at the provincial level, but they could afford two main halls, which was already a giant for Wu Gang. Wu Gang did not have the foundation and confidence of the Zhang family.
This time, with the help of Zhang Ningning, it seemed that Governor Zhang Guohua was behind him. However, Wu Gang also had to consider whether this matter would bring any trouble to Zhang Guohua. As an official, Wu Gang knew that a slight move would affect the whole body. As a low-level cadre with no background, he was not qualified to trigger the game at the provincial level. But if he continued to make trouble, and Zhang Guohua asked about it, Zhu Huadong might have to bite the bullet. As for the Provincial Party Committee, Jiang Min might intervene.
No matter what happened to Zhu Huadong, it was Jiang Min, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, who was responsible for it behind closed doors. If others wanted to do something, it meant that they did not take him, the top leader, seriously. The Zhang family was great, but this was Jianghai Province. Zhang Guohua was just the governor, while Jiang Min was the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. He could suppress Zhang Guohua. Although Jiang Min did not dare to provoke the Zhang family, it was not necessarily that Jiang Min did not dare to fight with Zhang Guohua on the legitimate level. Otherwise, he would only be looked down upon by the big shots in his own faction, and in the end, it would affect his own official career. Seriously, as long as he performed well and could get the approval of the big shots in his faction, it was normal for the higher-ups to help him stop the Zhang family.
Wu Gang had never been involved in the struggle at the provincial level, nor had he had the opportunity to get involved in the struggle at the departmental level. Therefore, Wu Gang did not know what would happen in the end if he continued to fight with the Zhu family. Considering that he did not want to cause any trouble for Chen Xing, to be exact, for Zhang Ningning, Wu Gang had no choice but to compromise.
"Chen Xing, let's stop this matter. It's not worth it to make a big fuss for me alone." Wu Gang said in silence.
"Brother Wu, it's meaningless to talk like this. We are brothers. It's worth it no matter what." Chen Xing refuted Wu Gang's words, but he had to admit a fact. However, Zhu Huadong was the favorite of Secretary Jiang. It would be difficult to deal with this matter if it became a big fuss. This result was not necessarily the best.
"I also think so. I'm already very grateful that Governor Zhang can stand up for me. I dare not cause any more trouble for him. It's good that it's like this now." Wu Gang nodded and couldn't help but laugh at himself. "I want to thank Governor Zhang. I guess he doesn't even know who I am. In the end, I just want to thank my sister-in-law. Chen Xing, you have a good wife."
Wu Gang's tone was full of endless envy and jealousy, and there were also some indescribable complexity and waning interest. In this day and age, power was the absolute truth. In the system, power was the absolute truth. Only those with power and background could reason with others. Those without power and background could just stand aside. Even if they were bullied by others to uphold the so-called justice, if others said they were wrong, then they were wrong. Morality and truth were only in the hands of those who had the right to speak. If they bullied you and tarnished your image to the outside world, in the eyes of the common people, you were a corrupt official. The truth would only be buried under the halo of power. Wu Gang knew that Zhu Mingxuan had planned to bully him in this way. If it weren't for Chen Xing, he would have really become a tragic figure.
"Brother Wu, don't think too much about it. Let's put an end to this first. Life is full of ups and downs. There will be plenty of opportunities to settle accounts in the future." Chen Xing could sense the disappointment in Wu Gang's words, but he could only try to comfort him. The system was like an invisible giant hand, and everyone had to play by the rules of the game. Not everyone could do as they pleased, or else they would die even faster. The Zhang Clan was already at its peak, but they still had to abide by the rules of the game. Chen Xing didn't want to trouble the Zhang Clan too much, so he decided to end the matter here. Perhaps everyone was willing to see this.
"You're right. Chen Xing, you're right." Wu Gang was open-minded. He smiled and said, "Brother, I'm waiting for you to make a meteoric rise. Help me in the future."
