Zhang Guoxin smiled knowingly, thinking to himself that Xia Xiang was indeed as bold as the legend said. He would have to be on guard against this move of his in the future confrontations with him.
Xia Xiang didn't know that the Song faction had not stopped its counterattack, and a condemnation was beginning on another battlefield.
Around 10 pm, a post titled "Shocking Conspiracy: The Reason for the Disappearance of the Municipal Party Secretary" appeared on the Internet. The post was very well worded, without naming any names. It described the chaos in Yinzhou's officialdom in a Spring and Autumn style, implicitly indicating that Yinzhou's municipal party secretary had disappeared, and the mastermind behind it was Mayor Xia Xiang. The reason was that Municipal Party Secretary Song Wendi had clues and materials about Xia Xiang's violations, and Xia Xiang did not hesitate to use the mastermind to kidnap Song Wendi.
After the post was published, it was reposted by major websites and spread like a virus. Although the provincial party committee propaganda department had already prepared to control public opinion, it still could not stop the madness of netizens. Public opinion was one-sided, and people changed their attitudes and attacked Xia Xiang. Many people also dug up the details of the demolition process of Yuhu Ecological Zone.
Around 11pm, Zhou Kang rang the doorbell of Li Siyuan, the provincial party secretary. The nanny opened the door, and Li Siyuan met Zhou Kang and Fang Zhicheng, who had come from Yinzhou.
After Li Siyuan finished reading the thick materials, he said solemnly, "Why did you hand in such important information only now?"
Fang Zhicheng had already thought of an excuse, and calmly explained: "Secretary Wendi had previously considered the stability of Yinzhou, so he wanted to slow down for the time being, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Li Siyuan tapped the materials lightly with his fingers and asked curiously, "Did you post the anonymous post on the Internet?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, knowing that Li Siyuan had been paying attention to Yinzhou, and then nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "That's right!"
Li Siyuan asked in a deep voice: "Do you know how much negative impact this will have on the government?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded again and said softly, "But I also know that if we don't make a desperate move, Secretary Wendi will most likely not even have a glimmer of hope. The most urgent thing is that I hope Secretary Li will arrange for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to place Xia Xiang under double supervision, and at the same time conduct a surprise interrogation of his secretary Jin Feng. With more time, we can catch the other party off guard and save Secretary Wendi."
The material in Li Siyuan's hand was very heavy, enough to place Xia Xiang under double supervision, but Li Siyuan did not give any instructions immediately because a single move would affect the entire body. If a surprise interrogation was conducted, it would bring many adverse negative effects, so he had to consider it carefully.
Behind Xia Xiang is the Jin family. If the dispute reaches a higher level, the impact will not only be on Huainan, but also on the layout of major factions across the country.
Chapter 0094 A Turn for the Better
If it weren't for such an urgent moment, Fang Zhicheng would not have been able to meet the provincial party secretary Li Siyuan so easily. Facing Li Siyuan's questioning, Fang Zhicheng tried his best to remain calm. Now if he wanted to turn the tide, he had to rely on Li Siyuan's power. If the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection used the complaint materials to place Xia Xiang under double supervision and then asked about Song Wendi's whereabouts, the current dilemma could be resolved.
The premise of this matter is that Fang Zhicheng must convince Li Siyuan that Xia Xiang is the mastermind behind the incident. There are many places in the materials marked with red pen, highlighting the evidence of Xia Xiang's use of terror to retaliate against political opponents over the years. There is even a precedent that a deputy department-level official was imprisoned in a sanatorium on the grounds of mental illness because he opposed Xia Xiang.
Of course, Li Siyuan couldn't make such an important decision easily, because Xia Xiang was a bureau-level cadre, and he was needed to stabilize the situation in Yinzhou for the time being. If Xia Xiang disappeared again, the Yinzhou officialdom would be in chaos.
The loss of Song Wendi is not terrible, but if both the top two leaders are missing, Yinzhou will be in chaos.
Fang Zhicheng seemed calm, but in fact his palms were full of sweat. He was gambling, gambling with his own future.
Li Siyuan sighed and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Fang, I admire your courage, but I don't have the authority to place Xia Xiang under double discipline. This must be discussed through the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee."
Seeing that Li Siyuan did not accept his suggestion after all, Fang Zhicheng showed disappointment in his eyes and said regretfully: "Secretary Li, if it is discussed by the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, it is very likely that the news will leak out, which will only put Secretary Song in greater danger."
Li Siyuan waved his hand and explained, "I know the interests involved, but the organization has its own rules and regulations. I can't make a decision on such a big matter alone."
As a powerful frontier official, Li Siyuan was able to stand firm because of his calm and dignified character. If there was a one-thousandth chance of danger, he would not take the risk easily, because unpredictable factors were often the important factors that caused the collapse of an unbreakable building.
"Are you just going to leave Secretary Song to die without any help?" Fang Zhicheng still insisted. He said loudly, "As far as I know, Secretary Song's family has done you a favor!"
"Fang Zhicheng!" Zhou Kang, who was standing beside him, saw that he was very excited and could not help but remind him, "Xiao Fang, you are too excited. Please watch your words!"
Li Siyuan stared at Fang Zhicheng for a few seconds, and could not help but sigh. He waved his hand and said softly, "Although we cannot put Xia Xiang under double supervision for the time being, we can use special means to control Xia Xiang's secretary... Didn't the materials make it clear? Xia Xiang's secretary Jin Feng was the most important helper in his many crimes."
Fang Zhicheng's eyes showed surprise, thinking that he had wrongly accused Li Siyuan, and he apologized softly: "I'm sorry, Secretary Li, my tone was too hot just now, please forgive me for being disrespectful to you."
Li Siyuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I know you are eager to save your master. It is a blessing for Wendi to have such a loyal secretary like you. Xiao Zhou will pass on the matter later. You can find a place to rest. I will handle all the following matters. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will save Song Wendi. As you said, this is my chance to repay you."
After Zhou Kang sent Fang Zhicheng away, he went to the study and carefully wrote down the things Li Siyuan had told him to do in his notebook.
After Li Siyuan finished speaking, he said softly, "Xiao Fang, this guy is great! If he hadn't come to see me so late, I might have really decided to give up on Wendy."
Zhou Kang nodded and sighed, "If it was someone else, he would have been sitting there waiting to die. How could he have come up with so many countermeasures?"
Li Siyuan stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked to the window. He pulled open the pleated window pane with his hands, glanced at the Jetta under the bed, and said calmly: "This is a good seedling. If it is Wendy, it will be fine. His future will definitely be limitless."
Zhou Kang smiled and said, "Secretary Li appreciates him so much. Just based on this, his future is bright!"
Li Siyuan nodded, waited for the Jetta to drive away, sat back at his desk, and said softly: "We must not let down the courage of young people. Even if the Jin family exerts greater pressure, we must resist!"
Zhou Kang showed a wry smile and secretly admired Fang Zhicheng. He was able to make Li Siyuan make up his mind, which was something that ordinary people could hardly do.
Fang Zhicheng convinced Li Siyuan with his actions. He first posted a message to attract widespread public attention, and then traveled hundreds of kilometers from Yinzhou to Qiongjin, and finally met Li Siyuan after many twists and turns. To be fair, if it were Zhou Kang, he would not have been able to do so many things on the spot.
Although Fang Zhicheng is still young, the strong execution ability he demonstrated in the face of crisis is impressive.
At three o'clock in the morning, an order was issued from the study in the home of the provincial party secretary. The task force far away in Yinzhou rushed into the Southern Kingdom community and arrested Jin Feng who was sleeping soundly.
Jin Feng was put on a piece of clothing and was put into a black car. Sitting in the car, Jin Feng was not panicked, he remained silent with a solemn expression.
When it was light in the sky, the car stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary hotel.
The task force leader Kong Weifang is the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's most skilled expert in forced interrogation and has encountered many cunning criminals. Seeing Jin Feng's calm expression, he realized that it would not be so easy to get the information he wanted from Jin Feng.
In a room in the hotel, tables and chairs had already been set up. Jin Feng sat on the chair obediently and said softly, "Leader, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will actively cooperate with your work."
Kong Weifang nodded and told his assistant to pass his cell phone over. The photo on the phone was a color message sent by the provincial party committee. Although the picture was not very clear, it was still vaguely clear.
Jin Feng glanced at them, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Leader, I don't know what these photos mean!"
Kong Weifang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Someone reported you for being Xia Xiang's lackey. Since you took the position of mayor's secretary, you have done all kinds of bad things, including kidnapping the municipal party secretary Song Wendi. If you now honestly explain the whereabouts of Comrade Wendi, the organization will consider your crime as appropriate."
