After leaving the hotel, Ge Jian-ming didn't return to the Municipal Party Committee immediately. Instead, he drove around and stopped at a park in the city. Not long after, a car from the Public Security Bureau also stopped behind him. The two cars stopped one after the other, motionless. Ge Jian-ming's car had stopped for a while, but Ge Jian-ming didn't get out of the car.
After a while, Ge Jian-ming's secretary, Xu Wei, and the driver, Zhang Jun, got out of the car. The two closest people of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee were squatting at the entrance of the park. Zhang Jun took out a cigarette and offered it to Xu Wei. Xu Wei took it without hesitation. The two of them squatted down and smoked. At first glance, they looked no different from those unemployed people.
After about two or three minutes, a man got out of the police car. He was about 40 years old. The middle-aged man looked around vigilantly before quickly getting into Ge Jian-ming's car.
Secretary Ge. Seeing Ge Jian-ming's eyes closed in the back of the car, the middle-aged man felt a little uneasy. He didn't have much contact with Ge Jian-ming. Every time they met, they were very cautious. Even the number of times they contacted each other on the phone could be counted on one hand. According to Ge Jian-ming, they should contact each other as little as possible.
Hmm. Ge Jian-ming still had his eyes closed and didn't say a word. The atmosphere in the car was still terrifyingly quiet. The middle-aged man sat at the side, not making a sound.
After a long time, Ge Jian-ming finally opened his mouth. Was there any progress on the matter of Song Yi? As Ge Jian-ming spoke, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the middle-aged man as sharp as a knife. In an instant, the middle-aged man felt as if his eyes were pierced by something, and his heart was palpitating.
Ceng Jiangtao was Zhang Qingyang's loyal follower. It would be difficult for him to open his mouth and bite Zhang Qingyang. Zhang Qingyang also wanted to protect Ceng Jiangtao this time. The internal department was inclined to give Ceng Jiangtao a demerit, which made Ceng Jiangtao even more grateful to Zhang Qingyang. The middle-aged man said helplessly. Moreover, the public opinion didn't cause much pressure to the bureau, so they didn't have much objection to Zhang Qingyang's opinion. In fact, even if there was objection, no one dared to offend Zhang Qingyang openly. Now that he has been nominated as the bureau chief, he is even more arrogant. We don't dare to oppose him, so we can only go along with him.
The middle-aged man was a little nervous. He was afraid that Ge Jian-ming wouldn't be happy if he didn't make any progress.
You don't have to be nervous. I know your job isn't easy. Zhang Qingyang has the final say in the Public Security Bureau. You won't be able to do much by yourself. "Don't worry. I know it's not easy for you to work. Zhang Qingyang has the final say in the Public Security Bureau. You can't do much by yourself."
Ge Jian-ming's smile eased the pressure on the middle-aged man. He felt the atmosphere was much more relaxed. He almost couldn't breathe just now. Ge Jian-ming, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, had given him a lot of pressure.
"Secretary Ge, may I ask you a question?" The middle-aged man asked boldly. Seeing Ge Jian-ming nodding, the middle-aged man said, "Secretary Ge, with your position and power, why don't you just reorganize the Public Security Bureau?" "If you investigate from top to bottom, I believe you can easily get rid of Zhang Qingyang and his gang."
Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Ge Jian-ming laughed and shook his head. "It's not that easy. Many eyes are on me. If I make a move, the opposing voices from the province and city will jump out one by one. So I need an opportunity. If I don't have 100% confidence, I won't act rashly. The local people are eyeing me covetously. They don't want to break the balance now. If I make a move on the Public Security Bureau, there will be an unprecedented resistance. If I fail this time, it will be even harder next time."
"That's true." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly. He roughly understood what Ge Jian-ming meant, but he didn't agree with it. He thought that Ge Jian-ming, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, had so many concerns and was too timid. The middle-aged man didn't know that Ge Jian-ming's concerns were nothing but pointless. Although it was just a small Public Security Bureau, it wouldn't be a problem for any other leader in the city to make a move. But Ge Jian-ming couldn't do anything. Once Ge Jian-ming made a move, it would cause a chain reaction. Even the Governor Shun Baolai might jump out.
"Continue to keep an eye on the Public Security Bureau. Song Yi's incident will be a breakthrough. I need evidence. I hope you won't let me down." Ge Jian-ming stared at the middle-aged man and said.
"I'll do my best." The middle-aged man lowered his head and replied. He didn't dare to make any promises. The Public Security Bureau was under Zhang Qingyang's control. No one dared to go against Zhang Qingyang. Even he acted like he was catering to Zhang Qingyang. Now that he was working for Ge Jian-ming, he had to be careful.
I hope you won't just try your best. Ge Jian-ming looked at him indifferently.
I will. I will try my best to give you a satisfactory result. The middle-aged man's forehead was slightly sweating. He didn't dare to make any military pledge to Ge Jian-ming. If he couldn't do it, he would be shooting himself in the foot.
Alright, go ahead. Ge Jian-ming nodded and didn't make things difficult for him. He was clear about the situation in the Public Security Bureau. The middle-aged man wasn't having it easy either.
Secretary Ge, you promised me? The middle-aged man mumbled in a low voice.
Why? Are you feeling guilty? Ge Jian-ming sneered.
No, no, what are you talking about, Secretary Ge? Although I've been with Zhang Qingyang for the past few years, I've only been pretending to be courteous to him. Otherwise, I would definitely be pushed to other places by Zhang Qingyang. I had no choice but to play along, so it's inevitable that there are still some problems. Secretary Ge, you should know that if I didn't do that, I wouldn't be able to get Zhang Qingyang's approval, and now I can't work for you. The middle-aged man explained anxiously.
Don't worry. I know what to do. As long as you do a good job this time, I won't treat you badly. Ge Jian-ming patted the middle-aged man's shoulder and said something that made the middle-aged man extremely excited. At that time, it's possible for you to be the director.
With your words, I feel at ease. I don't dare to think about being the director. As long as I can do something for you, I'll be happy. After being patted by Ge Jian-ming, the middle-aged man hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
Alright, you can go and do your work. Try to get the evidence. I don't want to wait too long. Ge Jian-ming waved his hand.
After getting Ge Jian-ming's assurance, the middle-aged man was obviously relieved. He agreed excitedly and left Ge Jian-ming's car. The moment the door was closed, a cold light flashed in Ge Jian-ming's eyes.
…
Chen Xing, what's the name of the woman standing on your right just now? When Chen Xing walked to Huang Ming and Xue Dabao, Xue Dabao couldn't wait to ask.
Zheng Jue, the general manager of the Four Leaf Clover Group. Why, do you want me to introduce her to you? Chen Xing glanced at Xue Dabao with a smile. It seemed that Xue Dabao was still a romantic and elegant man. He didn't forget to flirt even when he came to Nanzhou City.
Hehe, I just asked out of curiosity. Look at Chen Xing, you've made me sound so unbearable. Xue Dabao smiled slyly and didn't deny his interest in Zheng Jue.
If you're interested in her, I'm afraid you'll have to be prepared for a tough battle. Of course, it's more likely that you'll be defeated. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. The Four Leaf Clover Group is not a simple company. I don't even know its details. Don't think that she's just a general manager. She has 20% of the shares of the Four Leaf Clover Group. If you know the industry and market value of the Four Leaf Clover Group, you'll know how rich she is.
What Chen Xing knew about Zheng Jue was deliberately investigated, but the information was not very comprehensive. It could be seen that someone was helping to cover up the background of the Four Leaf Clover Group. As the mayor, it wasn't difficult for Chen Xing to know the details of such a company. However, Chen Xing was limited to a short time in Nanzhou, so he didn't have many sources of information.
Looks like your crow's mouth was right. Xue Dabao turned to look at Huang Ming and smiled. It's probably a tough bone to chew. Forget it, I'm just asking casually.
Chen Xing, Huang Ming, and Xue Dabao exchanged a few words in a low voice. After looking at the time, Chen Xing was also ready to leave. He gestured to the two of them to make a phone call. Chen Xing gestured for them to call his phone if they needed anything.
As Chen Xing left, the other leaders of the city also left one after another. In the end, only Li Haocheng stayed. Li Haocheng was still by Lin Qing's side enthusiastically. The only thing that made him unhappy was that Lin Hong stayed by the side. Li Haocheng repeatedly hinted for Lin Hong to leave with his eyes, but Lin Hong turned a blind eye. However, Lin Qing still chatted enthusiastically with Lin Hong. It was as if the two of them regretted not meeting each other earlier. They chatted very congenially, causing Li Haocheng to stare at them helplessly.
Sister Lin, I still have some matters to attend to, so I have to excuse myself. I'll look for you again when I'm free. Lin Hong glanced at Li Haocheng and smiled at Lin Qing. In just a short while, the two of them had already addressed each other as sisters. Coincidentally, the two of them were born in the same month and year. However, Lin Qing was born a few days earlier than Lin Hong, so it was only natural for Lin Hong to address her as Sister Lin.
Alright then, remember to look for me some other day. I'm bored to death in Nanzhou alone. Lin Qing smiled, her face full of reluctance.
When Li Haocheng saw that Lin Hong was about to leave, the smile on his face grew wider. If Lin Hong didn't leave, he would return to the Municipal Government first and look for Lin Qing at night.
As soon as Lin Hong left the hotel, she called Chen Xing.
Mayor Chen, I wonder if you've considered the cooperation I mentioned earlier? Lin Hong's voice was very calm, but deep down, she was secretly anxious. Chen Xing could appear indifferent, but she couldn't remain calm.
Miss Lin, show your sincerity first, then we'll talk about other things. Chen Xing smiled at the other end of the phone. At this moment, he was in a cafe with Lu Ming.
Mayor Chen doesn't even give me a promise, how can I be at ease to show my evidence? Lin Hong gritted her teeth. She hated Chen Xing to the core. She knew that Chen Xing was purposely keeping her in suspense, but she couldn't do anything about it. On the contrary, now she was the one asking for help from Chen Xing. Especially when Li Haocheng's interest in her gradually decreased, she felt a sense of crisis.
I'll still say the same thing. Miss Lin, show your sincerity first. As Chen Xing spoke, he hung up the phone. He was also a person who wouldn't act until he saw the rabbit. If Lin Hong didn't show him some real evidence, he wouldn't say anything easily.
It couldn't be Lin Hong, could it? Lu Ming asked Chen Xing doubtfully.
Yes, it was him. Chen Xing nodded.
What a coincidence. I was just going to talk to you about this today. Lu Ming shook his head and smiled. Mayor Chen, Lin Hong is the biggest suspect in Lu Chenglong's case. This is confirmed. I plan to arrest Lin Hong first. What do you think?
Absolutely not. Hearing this, Chen Xing immediately rejected Lu Ming's proposal. Lin Hong couldn't be touched now. If you arrested her as a suspect, she would be released because of resistance from all sides before the case was solved. If you were the director of the Provincial Department, you might be able to withstand the pressure. But with your current position, you definitely can't.
Then we can only continue to investigate in secret. Hearing Chen Xing's words, Lu Ming could only smile bitterly. Chen Xing's meaning was very clear. He was now only a deputy captain of the Criminal Police Corps, not even a deputy director. His position was too low.
"Investigate first. If there is evidence, don't touch her first. Lin Hong may be of great use." Chen Xing focused and told him about Lin Hong looking for him.
"Tsk, this woman is really bold." Lu Ming was a little stunned. Wasn't she afraid that she would end up being smashed into pieces in the end?
So this woman was amazing. She was ruthless and cruel, and the key was that she dared to do it. Chen Xing smiled. Even if he didn't like Lin Hong's woman, he had to admit that Lin Hong was outstanding.
"In this case, Lin Hong really can't be touched. Maybe she can really bring you a surprise, Mayor Chen. But this woman's appetite is too big. I have investigated Zheng Guangfu these two days. The number of entertainment cities under Zheng Guangfu are not small. Is Lin Hong afraid that Zheng Guangfu will take revenge on her if she wants to take them all?"
"The premise for her to take over the entertainment cities is that Zheng Guangfu is finished, so she naturally isn't worried."
"Although that's the case, I'm afraid that there might be an accident. Zheng Guangfu was born in the underworld. Even if he really falls, who knows if he has outlaws under him? If he knows that Lin Hong is scheming against him and wants to drag Lin Hong down with him, Lin Hong won't be able to live in peace in the future." Lu Ming didn't think much of it.
"Let's not care about this. I only care if Lin Hong can really produce evidence. If she really does, it will save a lot of trouble." Chen Xing smiled.
"Mayor Chen, there's something I don't know if I should say.
There's nothing we can't say. "
"Based on Lin Hong's character, Chen Xing, if you really want to cooperate with her, you have to be careful. I'm afraid that she will bite back in the future. This kind of woman is like a snake, you have to be careful." Lu Ming reminded.
"Don't worry.
I know what I'm doing. How can I not be careful when asking a tiger for its skin? I don't treat Lin Hong as a purely weak woman. " Chen Xing smiled faintly.
