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

After getting off work in the afternoon, Li Hui returned home and saw that his wife, Wang Hui, had changed her clothes but did not go out to the hospital for her night shift. Instead, she paced back and forth in the living room.

"Honey, you're finally back!"

When Wang Hui saw Li Hui enter, she quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Think of another way, see who you can ask to get my brother released? Or how about trying to find Secretary Lin?"

“I told you, I spoke with the captain of the district public security bureau’s public order brigade. Captain Zhang Biao said your brother incited the residents of the urban village and encouraged them to fight with the demolition team, which is suspected of provoking trouble. He needs to cooperate with the police investigation. We’ll see what happens after the investigation is complete,” Li Hui said, frowning.

In the afternoon, he received a call from his wife, Wang Hui, who asked him to find someone to bail out his brother-in-law, Wang Tao. He specifically contacted the Canghe District Public Security Bureau's Public Security Brigade to inquire about the situation.

Because the demolition of urban villages in Canghe District caused a great uproar and had a very bad impact, both the municipal party committee and the Canghe District party committee attached great importance to it. In addition, Wang Tao was the one who led the trouble, and Zhang Biao, the captain of the public security brigade, did not give Li Hui any face at all.

Li Hui had already told Wang Hui all about this on the phone that afternoon, but now Wang Hui wants Li Hui to go and get the person out of trouble, and also wants Li Hui to ask Lin Yi for help.

All of this made Li Hui very irritable!

Wang Hui's attitude changed instantly. She released Li Hui's arm and said coldly, "What do you mean by 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble'? Li Hui, get this straight, it was the demolition team who injured my brother!"

“I’m just asking you, did your brother instigate this? I told you all that if you’re not satisfied with the compensation plan, you can talk to the developer or report the problem to the government. You didn’t listen, and you even incited the residents of the urban village to confront the developer. Not only was the problem not resolved, but it also led to this tragedy.” Li Hui’s face was grim.

Since the housing prices in Canghe District skyrocketed, Wang Tao and his sister Wang Hui have been thinking about how to change the compensation. In the end, Wang Tao, thinking himself clever, instigated the residents of the urban village to confront the developers, using a tough attitude to force the developers to change the demolition compensation plan or increase the compensation.

In a sense, Wang Tao's instigation of residents in the urban village was also one of the reasons for the conflict. The district public security bureau's investigation of Wang Tao was legal and compliant.

Wang Huiyi said righteously, "Li Hui, how can you not tell right from wrong? If my brother succeeds, whether it's changing the compensation to a house or increasing the demolition compensation, it will benefit us! In other words, my brother is also doing things for us. Now that he's been taken away by the police, what's wrong with you asking your boss to put in a good word for you?"

“The conflict resulted in 18 injuries, 5 of whom were seriously injured, and 1 person is still in critical condition. I don’t have the ability to get your brother out!” Li Hui said as he headed to his study.

"Stop!"

Wang Hui stepped forward, grabbed Li Hui, and said angrily, "Li Hui, I've figured it out. You clearly don't want to ask your boss for help for me and my brother. All these years, you've been working overtime every day writing reports, you're almost bald from writing so much, and you've even lost your ability in that area. What have I ever said to you?"

You've finally climbed to the rank of deputy director, and you're even the boss's chief secretary. It's one thing if you don't help your family, but you won't even offer a helping hand. What's the point of me staying with you? I'm telling you this one last time, are you going to do anything about my brother's situation?

"I can't control it."

Li Hui walked towards the study without looking back.

Wang Hui stared at Li Hui's retreating figure, gritting her teeth as she said, "Li Hui, listen to me carefully. If you don't care, then we're getting a divorce! The demolition compensation for the house my mother left me has nothing to do with you! We'll split this house in half!"

"Leave!"

Li Hui stopped and responded through gritted teeth.

He had had enough of Wang Hui and realized that she only stayed in the marriage because she valued his power and hoped he would continue to rise in rank so that she could use that power to help her gambling and womanizing brother get rich!

"Good, good, good!"

Wang Hui was so angry that she said "okay" three times, then slammed the door and left, intending to find the lover of a department head at the hospital to see if he could find a way to help her brother Wang Tao.

Meanwhile, Wang Tao is being held in the public security brigade and is being interrogated.

“My brother-in-law, Li Hui, is the deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and is Secretary Lin’s chief secretary. I advise you to release me, otherwise my brother-in-law will investigate you to death if he finds out!” Wang Tao was extremely arrogant when facing police interrogation.

The police officer raised an eyebrow and said, "Wang Tao, you've instigated a disturbance and are suspected of provoking trouble. How could Director Li possibly help you?"

"How do you know my brother-in-law won't help me? Let me tell you, it was my brother-in-law who taught me to do this!"

Wang Tao noticed that the police officer interrogating him was wary of his brother-in-law, Li Hui, and immediately came up with a plan, starting to lie.

"you sure?"

Upon hearing Wang Tao's words again, the three policemen were indeed somewhat flustered.

After all, Li Hui is the deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and also the chief secretary of Secretary Lin of the Municipal Party Committee. He is not someone they can afford to offend!

"I'm pretty sure. You guys better release me right now, and I'll pretend this never happened," Wang Tao said arrogantly.

The three police officers exchanged a glance and decided to suspend the interrogation of Wang Tao and report the situation truthfully.

Because the conflict involved a deputy director of the municipal discipline inspection commission, which was completely beyond their control!

Soon, the news was reported up the chain of command, eventually reaching Zhou Xiaotian, the Party Secretary of Canghe District.

After learning about the situation, Zhou Xiaotian watched the video of the police interrogating Wang Tao. After confirming that Wang Tao had said the truth, he took the video and went to Villa No. 1 in the Municipal Party Committee compound.

Zhou Xiaotian was led into the room by Chen Yunfan's secretary. He saw Chen Yunfan sitting on the sofa with a cold face, looking like he was in a very bad mood.

This is indeed the case.

Because they belonged to the same camp, Chen Yunfan took great care of Zhou Xiaotian after taking office in Nanxia, ​​treating him almost as his most trusted confidant, and repeatedly instructed Zhou Xiaotian to do a good job in the shantytown renovation project.

As a result, Zhou Xiaotian staged a forced demolition, which triggered a conflict that injured 18 people, including 5 seriously injured and 1 still in critical condition. The video was also posted online.

Although Chen Yunfan immediately called the Municipal Public Security Bureau, demanding that they delete the video online as soon as possible to prevent the incident from escalating online, he was extremely annoyed.

"Is Wang Decai out of danger?" Chen Yunfan asked Zhou Xiaotian coldly.

Zhou Xiaotian said, "Secretary, the person has been rescued, but the brain injury is quite severe, and it is estimated that he will become a vegetable."

"Tell the developers that no matter how much compensation they receive, they must settle this matter, or they should be kicked out of the Nanxia Market!" Chen Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Wang Decai was out of danger, and then gave the instructions.

"Yes, Secretary." Zhou Xiaotian quickly accepted the order and stepped forward to refill Chen Yunfan's teacup with water.

Seeing this, Chen Yunfan said angrily, "Zhou Xiaotian, I specifically told you to do a good job with the shantytown renovation project, but you've created such a mess. What are you good for?"

"I'm sorry, Secretary, it's my fault for not doing my job well."

Zhou Xiaotian first took the initiative to admit his mistake to calm Chen Yunfan down, and then said, "However, Secretary, it was the residents of the urban village who first gathered to cause trouble, and there is someone behind this, so there is something wrong with it."

"What do you mean?" Chen Yunfan raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Xiaotian said, "Secretary, the person who led the disturbance in the urban village is named Wang Tao. Wang Tao is the brother-in-law of Li Hui, Lin Yi's secretary."

"Oh?"

Chen Yunfan's pupils dilated suddenly; he was shocked by the news.

“Secretary, Wang Tao said that Li Hui instructed him to do this. Normally, Li Hui would never dare to do this without Lin Yi’s authorization! Therefore, I strongly suspect that the conflict in the urban village was orchestrated by Lin Yi, with the aim of targeting me and you, Secretary—he’s in Beijing, staying out of it. If things escalate, he’ll be fine, but we’ll have to take responsibility!” Zhou Xiaotian stated his judgment.

"Is there any evidence?"

Chen Yunfan frowned.

He remembered Lin Yi's comments on the shantytown renovation project at the Party Secretary's office meeting—Lin Yi did not support land revenue; instead, he proposed building various types of affordable housing, controlling housing prices, and benefiting the people!

But reason told him that even if Lin Yi wanted to fight for the interests of the people, there was no need for him to do such a thing, unless it was as Zhou Xiaotian said—Lin Yi wanted to get him!

"Secretary, there is video evidence."

Zhou Xiaotian quickly opened the video of Wang Tao being interrogated and played it for Chen Yunfan to see.

Hearing Wang Tao's arrogant words and seeing Wang Tao's boastful demeanor in the video, Chen Yunfan's expression turned extremely gloomy.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaotian suggested, "Secretary, should I have the district public security bureau secretly take Li Hui away and interrogate him overnight? If it really was Lin Yi who secretly instigated this, then you'll have leverage over him. If you make him stand at ease in the future, he'll definitely not dare to stand at attention!"

"Qiu Haibo, the director of the Canghe District Public Security Bureau, is Lin Yi's man. How did you secretly take Li Hui away?" Chen Yunfan asked.

Zhou Xiaotian said confidently, "Secretary, don't worry, the executive deputy director of the district public security bureau, the deputy director in charge of public security, and the captain of the public security brigade are all my people."

"Then let's investigate."

Chen Yunfan decided to investigate thoroughly. If his guess was true, Lin Yi would have to kneel down before him!
