The Official Ladder: I ascend to the pinnacle of power, wielding the power of life and death.

After returning to the office, Du Zhengqiang called.

“Secretary Yiming, that bank employee refuses to say anything, and no matter how we try to persuade him, it’s no use.”

Du Zhengqiang said, "I guess he was afraid that if he spoke out, he would be retaliated against by those people."

“Those people dared to kill even robbers, so it’s normal for him to be afraid.”

Jiang Yiming said, "We need to find a way to get the bank employees to bring it up voluntarily."

"If we use conventional methods, I'm afraid they won't confess."

Du Zhengqiang said, "Furthermore, we cannot summon them for too long."

"Then we'll resort to unconventional methods."

Jiang Yiming suggested, "We'll announce to the public that the bank employees have confessed to some things, and I'll get the Discipline Inspection Commission involved to start investigating the Agricultural Bank. That way, they'll think the bank employees can't hold out any longer and might take action against them."

"You arrange a room in advance, hide our people inside, and make the guards outside a little lax, giving them an opportunity. When they really make their move, our people will appear in time to save them. This way, we can get some information from the assassins and also make the bank employee understand that only we can guarantee his safety. If he doesn't speak, he will be killed. He might not be able to withstand the pressure and will tell them."

"However, there is a certain risk in doing this. If the people who were lying in ambush do not rescue the bank employees in time, then there will be big trouble."

"There are risks in doing anything, but as long as you plan carefully, the risks will be smaller."

Du Zhengqiang decided to adopt Jiang Yiming's strategy, since he didn't have much time left.

The city and county authorities gave him twenty days to solve the case, and several days have passed with no progress. He had no choice but to take a risky approach and try something different.

"Okay, then I'll arrange for the disciplinary committee personnel to begin investigating the Agricultural Bank."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yiming called Chen Xujian.

"Secretary Xujian, please arrange for a few experienced personnel to go to the Agricultural Bank and investigate their accounts."

Jiang Yiming said, "I will have the people from the Finance Bureau and the Audit Bureau cooperate with your work."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

The news that the Discipline Inspection Commission had been stationed at the Agricultural Bank of China quickly spread throughout the county.

A small tobacco and alcohol shop.

Xu Hui and his friends were playing mahjong when someone suddenly barged in.

"Manager, something bad has happened! The disciplinary committee has come to investigate our bank."

Wow!

The man sitting at the very back had his mahjong tiles scattered all over the floor. He suddenly stood up and asked, "What's going on? What is the Discipline Inspection Commission investigating at the bank?"

"I'm not entirely sure either. I received the news and came to report to you."

"You go back and deal with it first. Your bank manager will be back soon."

Xu Hui stood up and said.

"it is good."

After everyone left, the bank manager looked panicked: "It's over, it's over, that bastard Zhang must have betrayed us."

“I have evidence that Xiao Zhang solicited prostitutes. He is a very henpecked man, and I don’t think he will back down so easily.”

Xu Hui said, "Perhaps the Discipline Inspection Commission will come to investigate other matters?"

"However, if Xiao Zhang stays, he'll be a problem sooner or later. We must find a way to get rid of him."

"Another murder?"

The bank manager, his face pale, said, "Let's not kill anyone. If we're discovered, we're all doomed."

"What can we do if we don't kill him? Only the dead can keep the secret forever. If he doesn't die, we are at risk of being exposed at any time, after all, they have already set their sights on Xiao Zhang."

Xu Hui said with a gloomy face, "Besides, I'm not letting you do it, what are you afraid of!"

"But I'm in the same boat as you. If something happens to you, I won't be able to escape either. But I really don't want to see any more dead people."

The bank manager, scratching his head and looking utterly frustrated, said, "Everything was arranged perfectly before, so how come so many problems have arisen!"

"It's all because of that bastard Jiang Yiming who ruined our good time. If it weren't for Jiang Yiming's appearance, the matter would have been resolved long ago. We wouldn't be playing mahjong in fear every day."

Xu Hui said with a stern face, "No, we can't just sit here and wait to die. We need to stir up trouble. Only in troubled waters can we catch fish!"

On the other side, Jiang Yiming finally received a call from Ding Li.

"Secretary Jiang, this is Ding Li."

"Brother Ding, how are you doing? Are you injured?"

"I am OK."

Ding Li reported, "After I left the bank, I started tracking the robber, but because of the delay, I could only guess the general direction. I eventually chased him into a mountain village. He hid there, so I waited for him to come to me and finally caught him this afternoon. My phone was out of battery earlier, so after I found a public phone, I quickly reported to you."

"Brother Ding, you did a great job. I'll arrange for someone to come and pick you up."

"Okay, I'll give you the address."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yiming called Wan Wenbing, the deputy captain of the public security brigade, and asked him to take a reliable person and drive a private car to pick up Ding Li.

That night, Wan Wenbing brought the robbers and Ding Li back.

Jiang Yiming didn't sleep; he stayed at home waiting.

After Ding Li arrived, Jiang Yiming found a night market stall and treated Ding Li to a hearty meal.

“Secretary Jiang, after I caught the robber, I talked to him for a while. From what he said, he was instructed by someone to rob the bank.”

Ding Li said, "But he didn't know who ordered him. He only had contact with the middleman, and this middleman never showed his face when he met him, so he didn't know what the other person looked like."

"The other party arranged for him to rob a bank in Xinping County, saying that whatever he robbed would be his own. They even gave him advice and provided him with the explosives."

"okay, I get it."

Jiang Yiming was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't gotten any useful information from the last robber.

However, considering his next plan, he could only place his hopes on this.

The following day, Du Zhengqiang followed Jiang Yiming's advice and waited for the other party to make a move.

However, after waiting all day, no one intervened, and the police couldn't keep him there indefinitely, so they had to let him go.

However, before releasing the people, Du Zhengqiang and Jiang Yiming discussed arranging for skilled staff to be stationed at the bank employees' residence.

At that moment, Xu Hui launched a counterattack.

Jiang Yiming took Wang Lifeng to a dinner party hosted by Chen Zixin.

Wang Lifeng also drank alcohol at Chen Zixin's urging.

In 2003, drunk driving was not strictly enforced.
