After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

The action team was divided into two teams. One team consisting of Zhao Hu and Li Ruixiang went to the county party committee to explain the situation to Secretary Lin Kuifan; the remaining team consisting of Lu An, Zhang Long and Zeng Fanqing went straight to Jianye Bureau to control Wei Dezheng.

"According to the results of the previous investigation, we know that Wei Dezheng would enter and exit the unit between 9 and 10 a.m. every weekday. We can control Wei Dezheng at the gate of Jianye Bureau based on this pattern." Zhao Hu said.

Professionals should do professional things. Lu An did not insist on showing off his skills, but chose to listen to their opinions first.

Zhao Hu quickly came up with a plan. This was the usual case-handling procedure of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection team. On the one hand, they sought the support and cooperation of the local county party committee and county commission for discipline inspection, and on the other hand, they directly arrested the suspects.

Lu An nodded, and had no objection to the plan that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had gone through countless times. He just asked: "Do you have any backup plan? After all, we just returned to Pingjiang and don't know the situation here. It's better to be prepared."

Zhao Hu and the others all shook their heads and laughed, obviously expressing their dissatisfaction with Lu An's words. They all felt that Lu An was too good at taking advantage of others. Did he really think that if he let you say a few words, you would become a leader?

But after Lu An's lecture just now, Zhao Hu and his companions knew that this person was not someone to be trifled with. Their attitudes became much more restrained, and they maintained the most basic respect for Lu An, the nominal team leader.

There was no sarcasm, only Zhao Hu's explanation: "Team Leader Lu, you may not understand that our Discipline Inspection Commission is not a law enforcement unit in the strict sense, so we usually need to win the support and cooperation of the local county party committee and county discipline inspection commission. Similarly, we must control the suspect quickly."

"Regarding the action plan, we also have a very mature process within the Discipline Inspection Commission, which has been put into practice many times."

"This is not our first time in Pingjiang. We have already figured out Wei Dezheng's daily routine very well. I think Director Ye would do the same even if he were here."

Finally, Zhao Hu deliberately teased: "I know that Team Leader Lu is a genius. If you have any valuable opinions and suggestions on our Discipline Inspection Commission's action plan, I think I can submit a statement to the relevant leaders after I return."

This is obviously an accusation against Lu An for pretending to know something he doesn't.

The other people also looked dissatisfied, thinking that Lu An was leading the professionals as an amateur, and that he was a bit shameless.

Lu An looked around and finally made the decision: "Okay, let's follow Zhao Hu's plan."

The van first arrived at the gate of the county party committee compound, and Zhao Hu and his companion got off the car with letters of introduction from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, obviously they came prepared.

In the car, Zeng Fanqing, who was left, said calmly: "Don't worry, Team Leader Lu! This is not our first mission. Just sit back and relax. We promise to deliver this achievement to you safely!"

"I also hope to complete this mission while lying down." Lu An said, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

But now that things have come to this, Lu An can't say anything more. After all, he is just a temporary leader.

At the gate of Jianye Bureau, Zhang Long found a spot to park under the shade of a tree to ensure that his provincial license plate would not be too conspicuous.

"It is now 9 o'clock standard time. Stay alert. The target may appear at any time."

Zhang Long and Zeng Fanqing checked the time with the radio's punctual broadcast, while keeping a close eye on the area around the entrance of Jianye Bureau. Lu An even saw their hands on the door handles, making sure they could get out of the car immediately if they discovered any situation.

This is called professionalism!

Lu An sighed, thinking that maybe he was overthinking it. After all, they were from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and must have more experience in this area than he did.

But... ten minutes, half an hour, an hour passed, but Wei Dezheng's figure was still nowhere to be seen at the door.

"It's strange. Today is neither Sunday nor Tuesday. Is there an emergency in the Jianye Bureau?" Zeng Fanqing expressed his doubts.

It goes without saying that we have a rest on Sunday. Tuesday is the day when the Jianye Bureau team holds its regular meeting, so the working hours may be longer.

Zhang Long shook his head and pointed at the carport at the door: "There are few cars at the door, so it shouldn't be."

Zeng Fanqing then noticed that there were only a few bicycles in the carport at the entrance. If there was any emergency in the unit and even a deputy director like Wei Dezheng had to "work overtime", then the carport would definitely be full of motorcycles and bicycles, and there would even be a few cars.

"Maybe Wei Dezheng didn't come to the company today." Zhang Long said again.

This is quite possible, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why they waited from nine to ten o'clock without seeing Wei Dezheng's people, either going in or coming out.

Zeng Fanqing's face turned pale: "But Zhao Hu and Rui Xiang have already explained the situation to the county party committee and county discipline inspection commission."

Zhang Long's face didn't look good either.

Beat the grass and startle the snake.

This is a fact that no one wants to say out loud, but it is right in front of them.

If they can't control Wei Dezheng in time, if the situation in Pingjiang County is as complicated as Lu An said, if Wei Dezheng gets the news and runs away, then it will be all over.

In this era, there were no cameras everywhere at intersections like in later generations. It would be very easy for a person to hide if he was really determined.

Not to mention being sent down to some remote village without concrete roads, even if one were to hide in an old and dilapidated residential area, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, even with the full cooperation of the local county party committee and county discipline inspection commission.

"Zhang Long, let's go back to the county party committee immediately. Maybe Zhao Hu hasn't found the county party secretary yet to explain the situation. We still have a chance." Zeng Fanqing said as the last straw.

Zhang Long still shook his head: "It's impossible. It's been an hour."

Yes! It has been an hour. Even if the county party secretary has other work to do temporarily, the news of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection coming here cannot be concealed.

It’s over, it’s over. If I really let Wei Dezheng get away, how am I going to explain myself when I go back?

"It's all because of Zhao Hu. Team Leader Lu An told us to have a backup plan, but he just wouldn't listen!"

At this moment they suddenly regretted not listening to Lu An. If they had been more cautious at the beginning, they would not have faced such a difficult situation.

Although Zeng Fanqing was very resentful of Zhao Hu at this moment, if he were to do it again, he would probably still mock Lu An for pretending to know.

Compared to Zeng Fanqing who complained about everything, Zhang Long was much more straightforward: "Team Leader Lu, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

Zeng Fanqing seemed to have just remembered that there was another person named Lu An. He turned his head sharply and said, "Team Leader Lu, we should have listened to you at the beginning, but now it has come to this, and you are our person in charge after all."

Now you remember that I am your leader?

But then again, it is indeed as Zeng Fanqing said, no matter what, he is the team leader appointed by Ye Xianggao, and if anything goes wrong with the operation, he is the first person responsible.

Lu An smiled and said, "Maybe things haven't gotten that bad yet. I have a backup plan here. I think we can give it a try."

Since you have run out of tricks, I, the temporary team leader, have to cover for you!
