Several young men stood in the alley, basically blocking the narrow alley. When they saw Chen Xing and the others coming over, one of them saw Gu Panman and whistled.
Gu Panman wanted to walk through the alley quickly. Seeing that Chen Xing deliberately slowed down his pace, she had to follow him slowly, ignoring the whistle. Gu Panman knew that the more you paid attention to this kind of hooligan, the more excited he would be.
Hey, beauty, let's play together. A young man grinned at Gu Panman.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, someone next to him slapped him on the back of the head and scolded, "Zhang San, you son of a bitch, you are still in the mood to flirt with a woman. Hurry up and finish the job. The boss is still waiting for the money.
Brother Huang, don't you see that girl is very hot? She looks like a young married woman from a good family. This kind of woman is very interesting. " The man called Zhang San stared straight at Gu Panman, his eyes shining.
Keep your mouth clean. Gu Panman looked sullen. She was not the kind of woman who would be afraid of hooligans. Working in the procuratorate, Gu Panman did not know how many vicious criminals she had seen. Every year, there were many criminals submitted by the Public Security Bureau to the procuratorate for prosecution. Gu Panman had seen a lot of them. This kind of hooligan was very childish and ridiculous in her eyes.
Oh, it was a young married woman with thorns. It would be more fun to play with her. Zhang San chuckled.
While Zhang San was flirting with Gu Panman, his companion beside him was not idle either. He shouted, "Hurry up and get the money ready. I won't disturb you guys to make money. Take the money and leave."
The man was shouting at all the other prostitutes in the alley who had not paid yet. They all came to collect money on this day every month.
Brother Huang, I really don't have any money this month. I beg you to bend the rules. I'm really begging you. I'll definitely make up for it next month. Please take pity on me for the sake that I've never defaulted before. The woman who had no money begged bitterly.
What's the use of telling me that you have no money? If you cry to me, who will I cry to when I go back? If I don't complete the task, I will be scolded when I go back. Why don't you take pity on me? The man who spoke scolded. He was the leader of the group. All the prostitutes in this area were under their protection. Every month, they paid them a fixed protection fee of 500 yuan. These prostitutes usually said that it was a monthly payment. After receiving the money, they did not do nothing. For example, if someone caused trouble or caused trouble, or if they encountered those f * cking customers who did not pay, they could help solve the problem. In their own opinion, it was only right and proper to collect the 500 yuan. After all, they were not taking it for free. Moreover, they were just henchmen who ran errands. All the money was taken by their bosses, and they did not get much when they were distributed.
When the other women on the side heard the man's cry, they hurriedly took the money and paid it. For women like them, 500 yuan was actually not much. If there were customers, it was not difficult for them to receive two or three customers a day. It was not difficult for young and beautiful women to earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month. However, if they were old and faded, it was difficult for them to earn a few thousand yuan a month. To put it bluntly, there was a gap between the rich and the poor in every industry. At this moment, the woman who was begging was a middle-aged woman who was almost 40 years old. If she was not forced to do this, who would be willing to do this? Her mother was seriously ill, and her husband was farming. They could not earn much money all year round. Her children needed money to go to school. Suddenly, a serious illness was like a disaster. It destroyed their small family in an instant. In addition to doing this kind of work that brought quick money, what else could she do as a woman without any skills?
Not to mention those who were really lazy and greedy for quick money, like her, which one of them was not really forced to take this road?
If you don't have money, you can borrow it from others first. Anyway, if you don't pay tonight and something happens next month, don't blame us for not caring. The man sneered.
The woman looked sad. How could she not hear the threat in the man's words? She had been in this business for less than half a year. At first, she didn't know the rules and asked why she had to pay, but she was slapped in the face. Later, she paid the money obediently. She was also glad that she paid. If she didn't pay, she didn't know what would happen to her now. Although she felt unfair in her heart, why did they have to work so hard to sell their goods?
Why did they have to give away the money they earned? But she knew that this kind of unwillingness was just a helpless struggle in her heart.
Looking at the women around her who were watching the fun, she realized that she had been here for almost half a year and had no real friends. Everyone was soliciting customers in this alley. In fact, what kind of woman a man liked, people would first see clearly before choosing. Sometimes, it was not possible to fight for a woman. However, every woman was full of hostility toward each other. The woman knew that the "sisters" next to her, whom she usually saw frequently, were now looking at her with gloating eyes. Who could she borrow 500 yuan from?
Secretary Chen. Seeing that Chen Xing was standing still, Gu Panman turned to look at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing didn't respond to Gu Panman's words. He took a step forward and stared at the man who was collecting the money. What kind of money are you collecting?
Tut, it's none of your business that we collect money. Are you looking for a beating? The man glared at Chen Xing.
Hey, how can you talk like that? Watch your mouth. Huang Jianghua scolded the man.
Oh, what? I didn't cause trouble for you, but you really want to meddle in other people's business. The man put away the money. The young man named Zhang San next to him looked excited at this time. He was eager to see the world in chaos. He looked at Gu Panman. Beauty, come here. I will protect you. Otherwise, you will be hurt if we fight later.
Brother Huang, we still haven't collected money. Boss asked us to send the money before 10 o 'clock. Don't delay. Another man reminded the leader who had just collected the money.
The leader was stunned. He took out his phone and looked at the time. That was right. There were still a few places where they hadn't collected money. Time was tight. They didn't have time to make trouble here. Then he looked at Chen Xing and the others. There were three men and one woman. They only had four people on their side. If they really fought, they wouldn't have much of an advantage.
After thinking for a while, he pointed at Chen Xing and the others. I will let you go tonight. But let me tell you, you won't have a good time if you meddle in other people's business. Next time, don't let me see you again, or I will teach you a lesson.
After saying that, the man turned around and was about to leave. When he saw the middle-aged woman, he curled his lips. I will give you one more night. You have to hand over the money by tomorrow at the latest.
Okay, okay. Thank you, Brother Huang. Thank you, Brother Huang. Hearing the man's words, the middle-aged woman nodded excitedly. She called the man Brother Huang, but in fact, the man was much younger than her.
The man led the other three men away. Before he left, he didn't forget to look back at Chen Xing and the others with a threatening look. The man called Zhang San was still staring at Gu Panman reluctantly. As a brother and sister, he was really fascinated by Gu Panman at first sight. He didn't fight with Gu Panman, but he also looked resentful.
After the men left, the prostitutes who were watching from the side were also a little dispirited. When they saw Chen Xing and the others, the woman closest to them immediately shouted, "Brother, do you want to play?" As she spoke, she pulled down her already low neckline and looked at Chen Xing and the others in a flirtatious way. She directly ignored Gu Panman.
Gu Panman spat and secretly cursed these women for being so shameless.
Secretary Chen, let's hurry up. Gu Panman lowered his head and said to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing nodded in silence. Looking at these prostitutes, especially the middle-aged woman who was begging just now, Chen Xing wanted to say something, but he felt that his words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
These women were very sad, but in the face of this cruel reality, what could they do? Looking at their cold and gloating expressions when they were watching, perhaps they were already numb to it.
After walking through the alley and coming out of the urban village, Chen Xing frowned. After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and called Chang Shengjun. Shengjun, what are you doing? As soon as the call went through, Chen Xing asked directly.
He was still reading documents in the office. A new official had been appointed, so he didn't dare to slack off. Chang Minfa joked.
Hearing this, Chen Xing didn't say anything. He put down the phone, turned to look at Gu Panman, and asked which section of the road they were on.
After asking Gu Panman, Chen Xing told Chang Minfa to arrange for the police to come over. Obviously, Chen Xing wanted to investigate those gangsters who received money. Finally, Chen Xing was silent and said helplessly, "Shengjun, don't make things difficult for those prostitutes."
"Okay, Secretary Chen, I understand what you mean." Chang Shengjun nodded and replied.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing let out a sigh of relief. Maybe this was the most direct solution he could think of.
"Secretary Chen, do you think this can solve the problem?" Gu Panman heard clearly the conversation between Chen Xing and Chang Shengjun on the phone. He thought that the Shengjun Chen Xing mentioned was probably Chang Shengjun, the new director of the Municipal Bureau. Listening to Chen Xing's instructions, Gu Panman didn't dare to agree with Chen Xing's decision.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Chen Xing looked at Gu Panman.
"This … I can't think of anything." Gu Panman smiled bitterly. "I just think it's useless. Even if the police ask those prostitutes on the street about the background and location of the gangsters who charge them, they won't dare to say anything, unless they don't want to continue working. Otherwise, Secretary Chen, do you think they dare to say anything?"
"You're right, but …" Chen Xing frowned. In the end, he didn't know what to say. "Gu Panman is right. The problem can't be solved even if the police come."
"Xiao Gu, do you know anything else?" Chen Xing sighed.
Secretary Chen, I rarely come here. It's the first time I've seen those hoodlums collecting money. But I've heard of this kind of thing before. If those hoodlums don't have the backing of the local tyrants, it's not easy for them to do this kind of business. It can only be said that one is willing to take the hit, and the other is willing to take the hit. Gu Panman said.
"Forget it. I'll wait for the police to take action tonight and see what the result is." Chen Xing waved his hand and looked at the time. "Xiao Gu, are you going back now?"
"Going back?" There was an inexplicable reluctance in Gu Panman's eyes. It seemed that he wanted to stay a little longer. But when he saw Huang Jianghua and Li Yong beside Chen Xing, Gu Panman answered with a disappointed look. "It's okay if I don't go back. Secretary Chen, I'll go back first."
"Well, you go back first. Thank you for your hard work tonight." Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
Watching Gu Panman get into the car, Chen Xing couldn't see Gu Panman's expression clearly in the dark, nor was he in the mood to look at him. He walked in the direction of the Old Chuanwei Restaurant with Huang Jianghua and Li Yong. Chen Xing frowned. He felt that he should find a breakthrough in his work in Wangshan City. He couldn't go on like this. He had been in Wangshan City for nearly 20 days. In addition to the orderly economic work and certain achievements, he had been thinking about the compensation for the demolition of the old city reconstruction project. This matter was related to the reason why the people of Wangshan City protested in front of the gate of the Provincial government. Although Wangshan City had explained to the provincial government before he was transferred, Chen Xing knew that some leaders in the province didn't believe it. The conversation between Ge Jian-ming and him before he took office was still ringing in his ears. Chen Xing didn't forget it at all.
The economic work had to be done, but other work couldn't be left behind, especially things related to the vital interests of the people.
"Xincheng Group," Chen Xing repeated the name of this company. Xincheng Group was a partner in the old city reconstruction project. It might be too sensitive to start from within the government, but what if he touched Xincheng Group first? How could he find a way to test it?
Walking on the empty road, Chen Xing raised his eyebrows and saw the brightly lit Xincheng Building again. The cold wind blowing over made Chen Xing feel a little cold. He tightened his clothes and looked at the cars speeding by on the street from time to time. Chen Xing's originally unfocused eyes suddenly lit up. How could he forget that Qian Xinlai's son had killed someone with a car? Yesterday, he was still talking about this matter with Chang Shengjun and pointing out to Chang Shengjun that this matter could be used as a stepping stone to carry out the work, but now he had forgotten about it.
Looking at the Xincheng Building in the distance, which was as bright as day, and the engagement banquet of the Qian Family and the Zeng Family was held tonight, Chen Xing's lips slowly curled into a smile. Perhaps he would be able to find out something tonight.
Taking out his phone, Chen Xing did not hesitate to call Chang Shengjun again.
Secretary Chen, do you have any instructions for me? Chang Shengjun picked up the phone and said with a smile.
Shengjun, tonight is the engagement ceremony between the son of Qian Xinlai, the chairman of the Xincheng Group, and the daughter of Zeng Gaocheng, the director of the Municipal People's Congress. They will hold the engagement party at the Xincheng Hotel. All the cadres in the city will be there. Do you dare to arrest someone? Chen Xing smiled indifferently.
As long as it is Secretary Chen's instructions, I dare to go through mountains of daggers and seas of fire, let alone arrest a person. Chang Shengjun laughed. Although he said that, Chang Shengjun slightly frowned. He remembered the car accident that Chen Xing mentioned yesterday. Now that Chen Xing said this, Chang Shengjun quickly guessed who Chen Xing wanted him to arrest, and his heart could not help but skip a beat.
Well, the son of Qian Xinlai hit someone and killed someone. No matter how he negotiated with the victim's family in private, he had already committed the crime of causing a traffic accident. As a law enforcement agency, the Public Security Bureau could not let a criminal go unpunished. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Secretary Chen, since tonight is the engagement party of Qian Xinlai's son, do we have to deliberately pick this time to arrest someone? Chang Shengjun could not help but ask.
Yes, it was deliberately picked at this time. Chen Xing nodded affirmatively. Since Wangshan City was already so chaotic, we could only do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. If you go to arrest someone at night, you can see how many main cadres of the city attended the engagement party of the Qian Family and the Zeng Family. Secondly, maybe we can take advantage of this incident to see how many people will jump out.
Chang Shengjun hesitated, but soon understood what Chen Xing meant. He could feel the anger in Chen Xing's words. Although he did not know what had happened, Secretary Chen, who was very calm yesterday, gradually lost his patience, he came to cooperate with Chen Xing. Since Chen Xing had ordered him to do so, he naturally had to do it.
After hanging up the phone, Chang Shengjun sat quietly for a while and soon stood up. Little Zhou, come in for a while.
When Zhou Huai came in, Chang Shengjun decisively ordered. Little Zhou, gather the police officers on the night shift. Go to the conference room first and hand in their mobile phones.
Director Chang, there's an operation now? Zhou Huai was startled. Chang Shengjun had just taken office in the afternoon. Was he going to make a big move at night? Just now, he had ordered to send someone to an urban village in the city. Looking at the situation now, was there going to be a big operation?
Don't ask so much. Do as I say. After collecting the mobile phones, you and the others come down. I'll wait for you downstairs. Chang Shengjun waved his hand and walked out as he gave the order.
In the corridor, Chang Shengjun could see the Xincheng Building, which was not far from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Thinking of what Chen Xing had said just now, all the cadres in the city had gone to the engagement party of the Qian Family and the Zeng Family, Qian Xinlai could not help but think of the several deputies in the bureau. Did they all go? If that was the case, then Chang Shengjun could imagine that in the eyes of the subordinates, he, the new director, was not as important as the engagement party of the Qian Family. Of course, at the same time, there was another possibility that the subordinates were trying to embarrass him.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. The result would be clear soon. Chang Shengjun knew that he was going to poke a hornet's nest. Although he had just arrived and did not know how much influence the Xincheng Group had in Wangshan, they were engaged to the daughter of the director of the Municipal People's Congress. Chang Shengjun knew that if he went to arrest them at this time, it would not be a small hornet's nest. However, with the support of Chen Xing, he dared to go all out. Moreover, he also had the support of the old leader Wu Hansheng in the province. He did not believe that a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake.
Five police cars gathered in the courtyard of the Xincheng Public Security Bureau. Chang Shengjun sat in the first car. Seeing that Zhou Huai had temporarily gathered the night shift police officers according to his order and handed in their mobile phones, Chang Shengjun nodded and said to Zhou Huai, "Let them all get in the car and follow our car later."
"Okay." Hearing this, Zhou Huai was taken aback and quickly nodded. He looked at the leader with a strange expression. What kind of big mission was this? Zhou Huai's expression was strange.
Chang Shengjun waited for Zhou Huai to get in the car. There were only two of them in the car. Then Chang Shengjun said, "Little Zhou, do you see the building not far away?"
"Director Chang, you are talking about the Xincheng Building, right? I noticed it last night. It's hard not to notice that building in Wangshan." Zhou Huai smiled.
"Good, go there." Chang Shengjun nodded with a smile.
"Director Chang, are we going to the Xincheng Building?" Zhou Huai was puzzled.
"Yes, we are going there to arrest someone. Hey, maybe there will be a big show later." Chang Shengjun grinned.
"Director Chang, you have to go to the Xincheng Group to arrest someone in person, and you even made such a big scene. I thought it was a very big case." Zhou Huai smiled. "Director Chang, you can just leave it to me. You don't need to trouble yourself."
I am afraid that if I only ask you to arrest someone, you will be so scared that your legs will go soft and you will run back. " Chang Shengjun smiled.
Director Chang, you're looking down on me. When I was catching murderers, I didn't even get weak in the knees when I charged at them alone. Zhou Huai was not convinced.
"The scene at night is different. You will know later." Chang Shengjun smiled. As he spoke, Chang Shengjun muttered to himself. He only officially took office in the afternoon. At this moment, he did not even recognize all the main leaders in the city. Except for the leaders related to the expanded meeting of the Municipal Bureau Party Committee in the afternoon, such as Organization Minister Lin Siwei, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Chen Zhengmin, and Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee Wu Ning, he really did not recognize the other leaders.
"Is there a different scene for arresting someone?" Zhou Huai scratched his head, puzzled.
…
The harsh sound of horns came from time to time on the quiet road. Chen Xing and the other two walked for a while and did not want to walk anymore. When they were about to call a taxi, Chen Xing found that they had unknowingly walked to the First City Hospital.
"Xiao Huang, don't call a taxi. Let's go to the hospital." Chen Xing said.
Huang Jianghua heard this. He had already stopped a taxi. He hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that there was no need.
Walking into the hospital, Chen Xing, who had been here once, walked to the ward where Li Yanpei was. It was only eight o 'clock. The hospital was very quiet. Only the lights in the corridor were on. The lights in some wards had been turned off. Obviously, the patients in the hospital went to bed earlier than ordinary people.
Chen Xing stood outside Li Yanpei's ward and knocked on the door. It was Li Yanpei's secretary, Jiang Dongming, who came to open the door. When he saw Chen Xing, Jiang Dongming's face was full of smiles, but his expression was a little unnatural. He knew that this was the new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Thinking of the last time he scolded him, Jiang Dongming still had a cold sweat on his back.
"Aunt Cai, Secretary Chen is here." Jiang Dongming invited Chen Xing into the small ward inside and said to Li Yanpei's wife, Cai Yalan, who was in the ward.
Li Ying and her husband were also there. Seeing Chen Xing, Li Ying's face lit up. "Secretary Chen.
How is Secretary Li? " Chen Xing smiled and nodded to Cai Yalan and Li Ying.
"What else can I do? As usual. Thank you, Secretary Chen, for coming to visit so late." Cai Yalan said to Chen Xing gratefully.
