What was worse was that Yang Changjian seemed to already know his background, but he didn't tell him. This caused him to misjudge the strength of their side and work for Gong Jinshu wholeheartedly. In the end, the situation had taken a shocking turn. Not only did Li Rui reveal his true identity, but Yao Xuefei was also not an ordinary city TV host. She was also the personal reporter of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. Even Gong Jinshu, the Deputy Secretary of the county party committee, had to bow down to her. What was worse was that this boss had started to blame him. This was not a good sign …
Feng Kuo braced himself and said with an embarrassed expression, "I … I didn't know. Host Yao didn't say that she was the personal reporter of the municipal leader. Li … Director Li also didn't say …"
Yang Changjian promptly added salt to the wound. "Director Li didn't tell you about Host Yao's other identity, but I told you about Director Li's identity. I already told you that Director Li is the director of the First Department of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. Can't you deduce that he serves the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? If you know that Director Li serves the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, can't you deduce that Host Yao is the personal reporter of the Secretary? It's fine if you don't think about such an important situation, but you actually didn't report it to Secretary Gong immediately. I really have to hand it to you. "
Feng Kuo would have been fine if he didn't hear this. Once he heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He glared at Yang Changjian and thought to himself, I'm just a little traffic police instructor in the county. How the hell would I know the personnel of the Municipal Party Committee's General Office or Secretariat? How would I know that Director Li serves the municipal leader? But you, old man, clearly knew his most important identity, but you didn't tell me. Instead, you said that he was the director of the General Office or Secretariat to fool me. Aren't you f * cking trying to put me in a difficult position?
Hearing Yang Changjian's words, of course Gong Jinshu knew that he was kicking him when he was down, but he didn't care about this anymore. He snorted angrily at Feng Kuo and said, "Feng Kuo, you bastard, you almost caused me to make a big mistake!"
Feng Kuo was tongue-tied. "No, Secretary Gong … I really didn't know. Who knew …"
Gong Jinshu shouted angrily, "Don't explain to me. I'll deal with you later!" After saying that, he turned to Li Rui and smiled apologetically. "Director Li, I didn't mean to offend you and Host Yao.... It's just that I couldn't stand the pleas of my uncle's family. After all, they are relatives, so I told the traffic police to take care of my poor relatives as much as possible within the scope of the law. They are all old farmers and their family conditions aren't good. If an old man suddenly dies, they will face a huge financial burden. That's what I thought, but I didn't want to let Feng Kuo reverse the truth and trample on the law. As for how he did it, I'm not too sure. If he has caused trouble for you and Abbot Yao, I sincerely apologize to you. "
Li Rui smiled. This old man was smart. He immediately reduced his own responsibility and pushed most of the blame to Feng Kuo. He would rather sacrifice Feng Kuo to protect himself. He was indeed a sly old fox. But no matter what, he had achieved his goal. He didn't want to fight with him. First, he didn't have the time and second, he didn't have the energy. He just wanted to save Xuefei this time. He nodded and said, "I understand. Who doesn't have a few relatives? When a relative's family is in trouble, we should take care of them as much as we can. Secretary Gong's intentions are not a problem and I can understand. But the people below …" He looked at Feng Kuo and continued, "… during the execution, in order to achieve an unspeakable goal, they used despicable means to force a good person to do evil and help a tyrant to do evil. This is absolutely unforgivable."
Since Gong Jinshu wanted to push most of the blame to Feng Kuo, Li Rui naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. He also wanted to hit Feng Kuo when he was down. He wanted Gong Jinshu to deal with him seriously. This way, he could not only help himself and Xuefei, but also help Yang Changjian clean up his opponents. It was also a reward for his help.
After Feng Kuo heard Li Rui's words, he opened his mouth and said innocently, "I didn't force a good person to do evil. I was just stating facts …"
Li Rui sneered, "Whether you were stating facts or not, you know clearly in your heart. Low-level police officers like Liu Xiao Yu know very well."
Gong Jinshu interrupted, "Director Li, don't worry. I will severely criticize Feng Kuo and the others' wrongdoings. I guarantee that they will never do it again."
Li Rui smiled meaningfully and said, "Just a serious criticism is not enough. People like Instructor Feng don't deserve to stay in the traffic police team. He should be demoted. Otherwise, I will be the first to disagree."
Gong Jinshu was shocked. He didn't expect Li Rui to be so cold and heartless. He actually wanted to kick Feng Kuo out of the traffic police team and demote him. This was equivalent to resetting Feng Kuo's career by five years. However, this wasn't unacceptable. At least he could accept it. Letting Feng Kuo take the blame was better than letting Li Rui speak ill of him in front of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary. He immediately said, "I will seriously consider Director Li's request. When I go back, I will discuss it with the Secretary, the County Head, and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. We will deal with Feng Kuo seriously."
For Gong Jinshu, the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, it was not difficult to transfer Feng Kuo out of the traffic police team and demote him. He only needed to communicate with the Secretary of the County Party Committee and the County Head. For example, he could directly do them a favor and let one of them promote his trusted subordinates to a higher position. It would be a happy thing for everyone. It was very easy to manipulate.
Feng Kuo listened to Li Rui and Gong Jinshu deciding his fate with just a few words. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He cried, "No, Secretary Gong, give me another chance. I have fully realized my mistakes. I am also wholeheartedly …"
Gong Jinshu was afraid that he would betray him. He shouted, "Shut up! Go back to your office immediately and wait for the punishment. "
Feng Kuo looked at him with grievance and unwillingness. His eyes were red, like a child looking at his father who kicked him out of the house.
Gong Jinshu snorted and said, "What? You don't want to leave? You dare to not listen to my words? "
Feng Kuo did not dare to say anything. He lowered his head and left dejectedly.
When Yang Changjian saw Feng Kuo end up like this, he was extremely happy. With Feng Kuo gone, all of his previous worries disappeared. In the future, he would be able to take on the role of a large team leader without any worries. It was as good as getting a new life. He watched as Feng Kuo left. After a while, he turned to look at Li Rui's face. His admiration for Li Rui was like a torrential river, continuous and unending. But he also admired his own wisdom. If he hadn't stood firmly by Li Rui's side from the beginning, how could he have waited until the clouds parted to see the moon?
Gong Jinshu struck while the iron was hot and ordered Yang Changjian, "Captain Yang, quickly get someone to release Reporter Yao and bring me to see her. I want to personally apologize to her."
Yang Changjian thought that this Deputy Secretary was quite a character. He knew when to yield and when not to. Although he seemed to be a little thick-skinned, he had to admit that he knew how to deal with people. He said, "Okay, Secretary Gong, come with me."
The two were about to take a step forward when Li Rui reached out to stop them and said with a smile, "There's no rush to release Reporter Yao. Let's investigate the truth of the incident first. If Reporter Yao was framed and blackmailed, it's not too late to release her. Otherwise, if she really hit someone and let her go, it would seem that we are biased. "
Gong Jinshu's expression changed slightly when he heard that. He did not know if Li Rui was being sarcastic or if he really wanted to go through the motions. He said with a smile, "Since Reporter Yao is Song Shuji's exclusive reporter, there's nothing to say about her character. How could she hit someone? How could she not admit that she hit someone? She must have been framed. I know that family of mine. They are greedy by nature. Even a mosquito's thigh would want two taels of meat. They probably took the opportunity to blackmail Reporter Yao. Therefore, Reporter Yao must be innocent. Just let her go. "
Li Rui shook his head. He thought to himself that Li Rui had changed so quickly. Previously, Li Rui was helping Li Rui's poor relatives without any reason. Now, Li Rui was helping Xuefei. Li Rui was a typical example of a fence-sitter. How could there be such a shameless person in the world? He said, "Don't. Let's go through the proper procedures. Anyway, Captain Zhang has already sent people to investigate. I believe we will get a result soon. "
Gong Jinshu understood that Li Rui really wanted to go through the process to ensure that no one could say anything. He thought to himself that it was rare for the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee to be so calm and prudent at such a young age. If it were him, he would probably bring Yao Xuefei back to the city. He smiled and said, "Alright. Then I will accompany Director Li here to wait for the result."
Li Rui said, "Ah? That's not necessary, right? Secretary Gong is very busy. There's no need to waste time here with me. "
Gong Jinshu smiled and waved his hand. "It's fine. I'm not busy today. Haha."
While the two of them were talking, Yang Changjian walked to the side and called Zhang Taiwei. He told him to tell the traffic police involved in the case about Gong Jinshu's change in attitude. People like Liu Xiaoyu were actually removing the shackles that Gong Jinshu and Feng Kuo had placed on their heads so that they could return to their original selves and uphold justice.
After the call, Yang Changjian came back and invited Li Rui and Gong Jinshu to his office to wait for the results from Zhang Taiwei's investigation.
Li Rui got the two of them to go over first. He went to the Accident Investigation Department and told Xuefei about the latest changes.
When Yao Xuefei heard that the obstacles in the case had been removed, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself. When she heard that Gong Jinshu was going to personally apologize to her, the resentment in her heart was swept away. It was replaced by relief and joy. For a moment, she forgot where she was and ignored Yang Xi, who was sitting beside her. She looked at Li Rui lovingly and said, "Hubby, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I …"
