At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

Hou Tianming had heard about how Lin Yi had angered Wei Dongqing so much during a meeting that Wei Dongqing ended up in the hospital, and he knew that Wei Dongqing had a heart condition.

At this moment, seeing Wei Dongqing slumped on the sofa with a pale face, he was genuinely worried that Wei Dongqing would be so angry that he would die on the spot.

However, half a minute later, Hou Tianming noticed that Wei Dongqing's complexion had improved, so he got up and left.

He had fulfilled his promise to Lin Yi. What followed was bound to be a battle of titans, something he couldn't possibly participate in!

After Hou Tianming left, Chen Dafa, the general manager of Linhai Club, immediately brought people to "visit" Wei Dongqing, only to be scolded and driven away by Wei Dongqing. He also took the Russian language teachers from the shores of Lake Baikal with him.

Then, Wei Dongqing dialed Zhao Tianming's number and asked angrily, "Brother Tianming, are all the staff at the Linhai Club a bunch of useless people? How could they let the police in? And why didn't they warn me beforehand?"

“Dongqing, Hou Tianming is after you. Before entering the manor, he had already arranged for a team of special police to surround the villa where you are, and he also used jammers to block the villa’s signal.”

"That bastard Hou Tianming completely disregarded the rules just to help Lin Yi deal with me. Isn't he afraid of being held accountable later?!"

Wei Dongqing was furious. He knew Hou Tianming had come prepared, but he didn't expect Hou Tianming to use special police to seal off the villa.

Zhao Tianming said fiercely, "Dong Qing, don't worry, this matter is definitely not over. Even if Liang Yumin doesn't deal with Hou Tianming, I will find people in the ministry to put pressure on the Dongjiang Provincial Public Security Bureau! However, the most important thing now is not to settle accounts with Hou Tianming, but how to solve your problem. I just had Wu Qing, the director of the Donghua Island City Public Security Bureau, and He Qingyun, the secretary of the Yunshan City Party Committee, call Hou Tianming. As a result, Hou Tianming said that he sent the video to Lin Yi."

"I know. I just called that bastard Lin Yi, trying to reconcile, but he disagreed and even recorded the call, saying he'd hand it over to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. It's infuriating!"

As Wei Dongqing spoke, his heart skipped a beat again.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianming felt his head buzzing, then sighed and said:

“Dongqing, now that things have come to this, you can only talk to your uncle and ask him to call Liang Yumin and then have Liang Yumin put pressure on Lin Yi to delete the video.”

"Ah."

Wei Dongqing responded absentmindedly and then hung up the phone.

Despite his reluctance, Wei Dongqing knew he had to seek help from his father; otherwise, if Lin Yi handed the video and phone recordings over to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection or published them online, the consequences would be unimaginable!

With that in mind, Wei Dongqing steeled himself and dialed his father Wei Qingfeng's number.

"You investigated Lin Yi on the grounds of his lifestyle, but you found nothing. Instead, you went to the club yourself, and Lin Yi got the video?"

Wei Qingfeng, deputy director of the General Office of the State Council, nearly suffered a stroke upon hearing his son's words and immediately launched into a tirade:

"How could I have raised such a useless piece of trash? You can't even beat Xiao Yuan's secretary, how can the Wei family expect you to shoulder any responsibility in the future?!"

"Dad, I'm sorry."

"I'm calling Liang Yumin now. You need to reflect on your actions!"

Wei Qingfeng hung up the phone after saying that.

Then, he glanced at the time and realized it was almost 11 p.m.

Normally, it's not a good time to disturb Liang Yumin.

But the matter was urgent, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and dial Liang Yumin's number.

The call was answered after more than ten seconds, and Liang Yumin pretended not to understand:

"Director Wei, what's up calling me so late?"

"Secretary Liang, I'm so sorry to bother you so late, it's like this..."

Wei Qingfeng told Liang Yumin about what happened tonight and then pleaded with Liang Yumin to intervene to prevent the situation from escalating further.

After listening, Liang Yumin said calmly, "Director Wei, I understand your feelings. But you should know that Wei Dongqing started this trouble first, investigating Lin Yi on the grounds of his lifestyle. Secretary Xu knows about this, but he didn't ask me to intervene. Now, it might not be appropriate for me to get involved."

"Secretary Liang, the old man has been talking about you a lot lately. He said that when he was working in Hedong Province, you did a great job in the city and always helped him out. He also said that next time you come to Beijing for a meeting, you must come to our house for a meal. He just heard about Dongqing's situation and was going to call you personally, but he got so angry that his high blood pressure flared up and he felt a little dizzy, so I made him go to bed..."

Wei Qingfeng realized that Liang Yumin was making excuses and that he didn't intend to give him face. Helpless, he could only bring up the old man of the Wei family.

"Director Wei, how about this, I'll make a call and discuss it with Secretary Xu."

Liang Yumin sighed.

When the old man of the Wei family served as the secretary of the Hedong Provincial Party Committee, he was the secretary of the municipal party committee of a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Hedong Province.

Old Master Wei was his former boss.

Liang Yumin was very uncomfortable that Wei Qingfeng brought up the old man of the Wei family, but he had to give face to his old leader and could only back down, saying that he would not pursue the matter, but if Xu Hongrui wanted to pursue it, there was nothing he could do.

Wei Qingfeng also knew that, compared to the Wei family, Liang Yumin was even less willing to offend the Xu family.

After all, the Xu family has done a good job in its succession, and Xu Hongrui is currently riding high. His entry into the family is a foregone conclusion, and the Xu family will continue to be glorious for many years to come.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Yumin immediately dialed Xu Hongrui's number and said, "I'm sorry to bother you so late, Hongrui. Wei Qingfeng just called me..."

"Yumin, how about this, I'll talk to Lin Yi first to find out what's going on, and then I'll call you back."

Xu Hongrui was both angry and pleased after hearing Liang Yumin's words.

What's infuriating is that Wei Qingfeng not only interfered in the struggle between Lin Yi and Wei Dongqing, but also brought in the old man of the Wei family to put pressure on Liang Yumin.

What's gratifying is that when younger generations fight, they complain to their elders, which is a sign of incompetence.

Look at my son-in-law, when has he ever visited my parents?

My son-in-law came to Jiangnan to attract investment, and he was afraid I would help him, so he waited until the work was finished before coming to me!

This is the difference!

A few minutes later, Xu Hongrui dialed Lin Yi's number and got straight to the point: "Xiao Yi, Secretary Liang just called me and talked about your situation. The Wei family is panicking because you have a video of their kid in a brothel. They specifically called Secretary Liang to ask him to intervene. Um, is the video really that explosive?"

"Uncle Xu, the video shows Wei Dongqing naked, hugging a pair of foreign sisters."

Lin Yi answered truthfully, but wondered to himself: Could it be that Lao Xu wants to see this?

"Haha, Xiao Yi, well done! If Wei Qingfeng saw his son's video, he'd probably have a heart attack!"

Xu Hongrui laughed happily and then said, "When the old master of the Wei family was the secretary of Hedong, Liang Yumin was the secretary of Haitai Municipal Party Committee. So, when the Wei family called Liang Yumin and brought up the old master of the Wei family, they meant that Wei Dongqing should apologize to you, and that would be the end of it."

"Uncle Xu, what did Secretary Liang say?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

Wei Dongqing not only escalated the struggle, but also instructed the county party committee's organization department to force Shen Chuchu to go to the hospital for a check-up and use the check-up report to prove her innocence. Lin Yi was naturally unwilling to let Wei Dongqing off the hook!

"Heh, if apologies were enough, what would be the point of laws and regulations?"

Xu Hongrui sensed Lin Yi's anger and sneered.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat: "Uncle Xu, what do you mean?"

"Three days later, I will lead a team to Dongjiang Province for exchange and learning, and we will stay in Qinghe for one day!"

Xu Hongrui indirectly provided the answer:

The Wei family is trying to bully the weak; do they think the Xu family doesn't exist?!
