Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

Zhai Yao, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Publicity of Handong Province.

Liu Xuehua, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jingzhou City.

Yu Tao, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong.

Of the eleven members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, all but Wu Chen, the Minister of the United Front Work Department, and Gu Jinhua, the Commander of the Provincial Region, were present.

Because it was an expanded meeting, all officials at the department level and above who had time attended.

Chen Yanshi was one of them.

He sat in the back row, wearing glasses, holding paper and pen, very focused, yet inconspicuous.

But Zhong Xiaoai still noticed him.

She quietly walked up to him.

"Director Chen, we meet again."

“You are…” Chen Yanshi took off his reading glasses and looked up, “Zhong…Zhong…Zhong Xiaoai.”

“It’s me.” Zhong Xiaoai sat down and glanced at Chen Yanshi’s notes. “Old comrade, these notes are meticulous and you’re really serious.”

"Of course, of course." Chen Yanshi nodded, then suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, this is an enlarged meeting convened by the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. All those present are cadres at or above the department level from Handong. Why are you here?"

"Just came to take a look," Zhong Xiaoai said casually.

"Oh." Chen Yanshi was still curious. "But how did you get in?"

“This!” Zhong Xiao’ai flashed the ZY inspection team’s credentials. “Director Chen, I was invited by Secretary Xiao and I’m representing ZY!”

"No wonder, no wonder!" Chen Yanshi's expression was not good. He hadn't expected it to be done this way. It seems he was really ignorant.

There are five minutes left before the meeting.

Zhong Xiaoai continued chatting with Chen Yanshi.

"By the way, Director Chen, according to the months, Chen Yang should have given birth by now, right?"

"No." Chen Yanshi shook his head and sighed, "That girl had bad luck. She married a bastard and lost her baby when she was three months pregnant."

Zhong Xiaoai paused for a moment, "I'm sorry, Director Chen, I didn't know Chen Yang..."

"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you. I told you, it's just that girl's bad luck! After Xu Lang was arrested for job-related crimes, Xu Tianyi became a completely different person, like a beast. He would go crazy with Chen Yang all the time, and eventually... after an argument, Chen Yang got too agitated and lost the baby."

At this point, Chen Yanshi rubbed his eyes.

Zhong Xiaoai was also quite sad.

She didn't like Chen Yang, but she didn't want him to end up like this.

"Xiao Ai, it's all thanks to you! If you hadn't acted decisively at the wedding banquet, our Chen family would be finished!"

"How so?"

"Hey, to be honest, I have bad judgment. I didn't realize the Xu family was no good, and with Chen Yang pregnant, I agreed to their marriage without thinking. We only planned to have the wedding banquet first, and then get the marriage certificate. You know what happened after that. The Xu family was investigated by the Thunder Second Bureau, and recently, that bastard Xu Tianyi was also arrested! If it weren't for you, I think... once we got the marriage certificate, our whole family wouldn't have been able to escape either. At the very least, we would have been attacked."

In the new society, there is no concept of collective punishment; once you have a marriage certificate, it doesn't really matter.

After all, the Chen family is innocent.

But Chen Yanshi is a man who cares about his reputation. Even if he is innocent, if the Thunder Second Bureau investigates him, where will he put his face?

That's why he thanked Zhong Xiaoai.

Chen Yanshi was still thinking about something, but the meeting had already started, so he could only shut his mouth and pick up the paper and pen again.

On stage, Xiao Hongyun had already begun speaking.

The target of the attack was Jiang Hui, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, which was also Zhong Xiaoai's idea.

As the director of the Public Security Bureau, Jiang Hui had made a mess of public order in Handong. The key point was that when Zhong Xiaoai reprimanded him, he seemed to be unconvinced.

You're not convinced, are you?

Just wait and see.

After being called out, Jiang Hui sat in the front row with his head down, not daring to breathe loudly.

In the past, Liang Qunfeng and Zhao Lichun would definitely have come out to defend him, but today, with the ZY inspection team in charge, these two guys didn't dare to utter a word.

When given the chance, Xiao Hongyun showed no mercy.

"Jiang Hui, Director Jiang, as the head of the public security system in Handong Province, you have truly opened my eyes. Under the clear sky, in Handong, someone actually committed a crime with a knife, right under the nose of the ZY inspection team. This behavior is absolutely outrageous!"

"Today, in front of the ZY inspection team, I want to emphasize again: Handong is not a lawless place, and we will absolutely not allow any criminal gangs to exist! Director Jiang, if you cannot guarantee the security of Handong, then replace him with someone capable!"

"What do you think, Secretary Liang?"

At the crucial moment, Xiao Hongyun passed the grenade to Liang Qunfeng again.

Liang Qunfeng coughed twice and said in a deep voice, "Secretary Xiao is right. In Handong, we will never allow any criminal gangs to exist. This is the bottom line for the people of Handong and the government! If Director Jiang is not competent for this position, it is not impossible to replace him."

The audience was taken aback.

Those sitting in this conference room are no ordinary people; they all know about Xiao Hongyun's relationship with the Han University gang.

But now, Xiao Hongyun and Liang Qunfeng are standing together, taking turns to deal with a public security bureau chief. This scene is truly rare.

As for Jiang Hui, he never raised his head from the start of the meeting, like a quail.

Zhao Lichun had approached him before the meeting.

I said ten words to him...

If you make a mistake, you must admit it; if you are beaten, you must stand at attention!

With this attitude, he was too ashamed to explain, and dared not to explain!

Only after the meeting ended did he lower his head, take the self-criticism, and find Zhong Xiaoai.

Zhong Xiaoai took the letter of self-criticism, glanced at it, and said with lingering anger, "Director Jiang Hui, I accept this letter of self-criticism. You know better than I do about YZ's attitude towards local organized crime! If this incident happens again, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be; you can weigh the consequences yourself."

"understand."

The January wind was blowing, and Jiang Hui's forehead was covered in sweat...

(Thank you to everyone for the flowers, likes, and support... Thank you to Kangwang for the inspiration capsules for those who love garlic spinach! Thank you to the whimsical Cocoa for the boba milk tea!)

(P.S.: Try not to spend money on gifts, especially for students! Buying candy is sweet too!)

If you have time, please leave a positive review.

Lian Zang bows in gratitude!

Chapter 86 The Strange Note

This meeting was a large-scale event.

In just two days, the information had reached Qi Tongwei.

The messengers were Li Qingshui and Zhao Donglai.

In the ward.

Li Qingshui scratched his head, his eyes as dark as a panda's.

He was the Public Security Bureau Chief of Yantai City, in charge of maintaining public order in the city. After being reprimanded in the province, Jiang Hui returned to the city and, without saying a word, summoned Li Qingshui.

Then he relayed what Zhong Xiaoai had told him to Li Qingshui.

Let him do what he can, and if he can't, then we can replace him as the city's public security bureau chief.

What can Li Qingshui do?

When they found Zhao Donglai, they gave him a severe dressing-down.

Then he turned around and repeated Jiang Hui's words to Zhao Donglai.

Let him work in the criminal investigation team. If he's capable, he should do it; if he's not, replace him immediately. Don't let him occupy the position without doing anything.

After the training, the two went to find Qi Tongwei again.

Zhao Ruihu is dead, and the snakehead is dead too, but there's still no clue as to who killed them.

I hope Qi Tongwei can give me some advice.

"Tongwei, all the people who attacked you and Wang Hua have been caught. After a brief interrogation, they all confessed!"

"Is it Zhao Ruihu and the snakehead's men?"

"Yes, it was those two who gave the order! However, after this group was caught, both the smuggler and Zhao Ruihu were shot in the head. The killer was obviously very professional, maybe even a mercenary."

"That's pretty much what I thought!" Over the past two days, Qi Tongwei had been pondering the matter repeatedly and had already come up with a general idea. "Director Li, Donglai, if I'm not mistaken, Zhao Ruihu was murdered to silence him. As for the murderer, he's very likely a man named Spotted Tiger!"

"Spotted Tiger? Is that a person or a nickname?"

"do not know."

Qi Tongwei shook his head. In his previous life, he had met the spotted tiger once through Zhao Ruilong.

However, there was no valuable information on that side.

That's all he knows.

"By the way, if you want to find this spotted tiger, you can start with Zhao Ruilong."
