Fang Zhicheng threw a rope to Xu Peng to climb up. If he could grab it again, it would undoubtedly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his future.
Of course, this also involves certain risks for Xu Peng. After all, the positions of those people in Yinzhong are more deeply rooted than his own. If he is excluded by them, his future work will be very difficult.
But Xu Peng knew very well that wealth and honor are always sought in danger. If he had not taken on the pressure and brought down Ma Xiangnan, how could he be where he is today
Xu Peng stood on the balcony. The fierce cold wind outside made the branches dance wildly and make rustling sounds. He made up his mind. He then called his close friends in the union one by one to investigate the clues of those people's violations.
…
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Jin Feng called and confirmed again, "Can you handle tomorrow's matter?"
A sigh came from the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, I will do as you ask."
Jin Feng said in a deep voice: "If you regret it, you should know the consequences."
"Since I've fallen into your trap, I don't expect to see the light of day again. I just hope you can keep your promise." The voice on the phone sounded conflicted and painful, helpless and hopeless.
Jin Feng promised softly: "If things go well, you will be the great hero, and I will naturally fulfill everything I promised you."
Around nine o'clock the next day, the conspiracy was exposed. Mayor Xia Xiang had an urgent matter to find Song Wendi himself, but he couldn't get through, so he called Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng actually called Song Wendi early in the morning, and after finding that the call was not answered, he even went to Song Wendi's home to look for her.
I learned from Xiaoyan that Song Wendi went out early in the morning as usual.
Song Wendi disappeared, which made Fang Zhicheng puzzled. He could only stick to his post and explain that Secretary Song had temporarily gone to the Municipal Party Committee to handle personal matters.
However, around 3 p.m., rumors began to spread that "Song Wendi was secretly investigated by the provincial disciplinary inspection team and was taken away from his residence in the middle of the night."
When Wang Ke secretly told Fang Zhicheng the news, Fang Zhicheng's heart was pounding, realizing that someone must have been plotting something in secret.
Song Wendi was not taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but was kidnapped and temporarily disappeared. Taking advantage of Song Wendi's absence, the forces headed by Xia Xiang would certainly smear Song Wendi in various ways, and then make the Song family members panic all day long.
Fang Zhicheng had a good habit. The more urgent the situation, the calmer he would be. He called his boss's driver, Master Liu, but the call was unavailable. He suddenly realized that Master Liu and Song Wendi had disappeared together, and it must have nothing to do with the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He immediately called Zhou Kang, the secretary of the provincial party secretary.
Li Siyuan was attending a work meeting of the provincial taxation system, and Zhou Kang immediately reported the situation to Li Siyuan. After learning about it, Li Siyuan immediately left the meeting and talked directly with Fang Zhicheng, asking Fang Zhicheng to keep it secret for the time being and not let the news spread. At the same time, he arranged for personnel to investigate Song Wendi's whereabouts.
Around 4:30, rumors gradually escalated: "Song Wendi fled abroad with his mistress and embezzled and accepted bribes of nearly 1 billion yuan." The news not only spread among the population, but even spread like a virus on the Internet.
Fang Zhicheng sat in the office, receiving one phone call after another. The initial lie could no longer cover up the truth, so Fang Zhicheng simply escalated the lie, saying that Song Wendi was discussing important matters with the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Li Siyuan in Qiongjin. Because it was a critical matter, all his private phones were turned off, and if there was any news, he could communicate with him.
At the same time, Fang Zhicheng contacted Zhong Yang and asked him to investigate Song Wendi's whereabouts.
Zhong Yang had obviously heard the news as well, and asked in a deep voice, "Did Secretary Song really escape?"
Fang Zhicheng replied cautiously: "Don't make wild guesses. The fewer people who know about this, the better. I suspect the boss has been kidnapped."
"Kidnapping?" Zhong Yang took a breath and sighed, "Who is so bold as to attack a senior official?"
Fang Zhicheng said softly, "The road to officialdom is inherently dangerous. The boss has only been in Yinzhou for a short time and has offended so many people, so it is natural that he will be framed. We are already in the same boat with the boss, and we will prosper together and suffer together, so I hope you will find the boss within 48 hours."
Forty-eight hours is a life-and-death moment. On the one hand, the rumors will become more and more widespread. On the other hand, if the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection really intervenes, that would be bad.
Fang Zhicheng suspected that the person who designed the vicious plan had already collected and fabricated a large amount of information about Song Wendi's violations of discipline and laws. As long as the Discipline Inspection Commission intervened, the information would be submitted to guide the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission to investigate in the direction of the city party secretary's embezzlement of funds for treason.
Once the Discipline Inspection Commission accepts the materials, even if Song Wendi reappears later, he will inevitably fall into trouble and be pushed to the edge of the cliff.
This scheme was a series of schemes, extremely vicious. First, they kidnapped Song Wendi, then they misled the Commission for Discipline Inspection and slandered Song Wendi for committing treason with the money...
The only way to break the deadlock now is to find Song Wendi before the Discipline Inspection Commission intervenes.
The time limit is only forty-eight hours. If it exceeds this time period, Li Siyuan may be affected by the rumors and unable to withstand the pressure brought by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and may be shaken.
Zhong Yang's eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will find Secretary Song as soon as possible."
Chapter 0092: Forty-eight Hours of Life and Death
At around 8pm, there was still no news about Song Wendi, so the provincial party committee held an emergency meeting. The meeting was attended by five people, including Li Siyuan, secretary of the provincial party committee, Bu Yiren, governor of the province, Wang Guoyong, deputy secretary of the party committee, Zhao Xinqiang, secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, and Zhao Guoyi, executive vice governor.
It is impossible to cover up the disappearance of Song Wendi. Even with Li Siyuan's power, he has to be careful because it is very likely a conspiracy against him.
Song Wendi used to be Li Siyuan's secretary and had close contacts with him. This was a well-known fact in the Huainan officialdom. Li Siyuan had to be on guard to see if someone would take the opportunity to take advantage of his misfortune.
Wang Guoyong was smoking a cigarette and staring at Li Siyuan's serious face in the smoke. He had worked with Li Siyuan for such a long time, but he rarely saw him with such an expression.
Li Siyuan is a leader who seems not too strict, but is actually very domineering. The reason why he is in such a heavy mood must be that things have changed unpredictably.
This is understandable. Song Wendi, secretary of the Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee, is a trusted aide that Li Siyuan has focused on training. After two or three years of training in Yinzhou, he will be transferred to the province and is expected to become a candidate for governor. Now that Song Wendi has lost contact, Li Siyuan will undoubtedly be furious.
Wang Guoyong knew that Li Siyuan was angry, and he didn't want to ignite the fire in Li Siyuan's heart at this moment, so he smoked calmly and waited for the situation to develop.
Although Li Siyuan seldom shows his fangs, Wang Guoyong is deeply afraid of him. Li Siyuan is the king of Huainan Province. If he touches the tiger's butt at this moment, he will only be ruthlessly beaten.
Li Siyuan cleared his throat and sighed, "The purpose of holding this meeting is very simple. I believe everyone has heard the news that Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Wendi suddenly disappeared and was suspected of being kidnapped. Let's discuss how to minimize the negative impact of this incident."
Governor Zhao Xinqiang said softly: "The news is still uncertain. Some say he was kidnapped, while others say he fled for fear of being punished..."
Wang Guoyong subconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that Zhao Xinqiang really didn't know which way the wind was blowing, and was afraid that he would anger Li Siyuan.
Li Siyuan frowned and said, "Do you also believe the news of absconding? Although the world is big, if he really wanted to abscond, how could there be no movement beforehand? Besides, I am very familiar with Song Wendi's character. He definitely doesn't have financial problems, so it is more likely that he was kidnapped."
