At around 6pm, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Wendi and the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department Director Qiu Hengde came together, causing a sensation at the Municipal People's Hospital. It was surprising that two standing committee members came to visit a patient at the same time, and the patient was only in his twenties.

Cheng Fei saw the old dean follow Song Wendi and Qiu Hengde into the ward, and then walked out with a smile. She flipped through Fang Zhicheng's medical records and whispered to Xiao Rui curiously, "Sister Rui, who is this Fang Zhicheng? He even had the municipal party secretary and the organization minister come to visit him, but the name written in the relative column is Qin Yuming, who is his sister, and his parents didn't come. Is he some kind of second-generation official or rich person with a hidden identity?"

Xiao Rui sighed and smiled bitterly: "Cheng Fei, if you are so curious, how about you ask him in person?"

Cheng Fei clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Sister Rui, this is what you ordered. I will definitely ask him tomorrow..."

Xiao Rui shook her head helplessly and muttered, "Look at you, you're really crazy about me."

Cheng Fei raised her lips and said proudly, "So what if I'm a fangirl? I'm willing! I'm a woman of the new era. When I meet an excellent man, I must show the courage of a woman of the new era. I can't miss him if I pass by him." After that, she pulled Xiao Rui's wrist and said coquettishly, "Sister Rui, you have to help me this time. I feel like I've met my destined prince charming."

"Pfft..." Xiao Rui was amused by Cheng Fei. She reached out and patted her slightly raised buttocks, and scolded her with a smile, "It's working hours now. You have to consider the occasion when you are horny. If you keep making trouble like this, I will deduct your salary."

Cheng Fei rolled her eyes and shook her head helplessly, "Well, for the sake of salary, I'll just endure it for now."

Fang Zhicheng didn't know that he had become the topic of conversation among the female doctors and nurses at the Municipal People's Hospital. When he saw Song Wendi and Qiu Hengde come in, he hurriedly tried to stand up and greet them. However, Song Wendi pressed her hand in the air and said with a smile, "Your injury is very serious, so you'd better lie down."

Qin Yuming knew that they had something important to discuss, so she quietly left the ward and closed the door. Song Wendi and Qiu Hengde sat on the chairs, and Qiu Hengde whispered, "What happened?"

Fang Zhicheng thought about it, sighed, took his phone from the cabinet beside him, and then flipped through a text message. Qiu Hengde walked over and took a look at the text message. There was only a short sentence written on it, "Get out of Dongtai!" Then, Qiu Hengde handed the text message to Song Wendi to read. Song Wendi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect the situation in Dongtai to be so complicated now..."

Although there is no evidence, from just a few words, one can guess that this is a carefully planned trap, the purpose of which is to make a show of force and force Fang Zhicheng to leave Dongtai by causing a car accident, and at the same time warn Song Wendi not to try to get involved in Dongtai.

Qiu Hengde frowned, glanced at Song Wendi, and asked tentatively: "Now that Dongtai's reaction is so intense, should we slow down? Otherwise, how can we prevent the other party from jumping off the wall and causing greater negative impact?"

Song Wendi hesitated for a moment but did not express his opinion.

Fang Zhicheng knew Song Wendi very well and vaguely guessed what he was thinking. He coughed twice and said, "Minister Qiu, I think now is the time to make a decisive move. If we retreat, it will only make the other party more arrogant. At this moment, we must speed up the progress, seek a huge breakthrough, and strive to destroy the illegal forces in one fell swoop. Only in this way can we completely get rid of the cancer of Dongtai."

Song Wendi touched his chin, took out his cell phone, called Ding Feng, and ordered loudly: "No need to wait! Cooperate with the Discipline Inspection Commission and place Meng Fanchao under double supervision tonight!"

The confrontation between Song Wendi and Zhang Guoxin at the county level has officially begun!

Chapter 0224 Some are happy, some are sad

Late in the night on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, a gunshot was heard in the Dongtai County Government’s staff building.

The special investigation team jointly set up by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Public Security Bureau knocked on Meng Fanchao's door and presented an arrest warrant. Meng Fanchao committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of his hand while using the excuse of going to the toilet.

The special investigation team later found dozens of bank cards of various types in Meng Fanchao's home. Over the years, Meng Fanchao used his power to make huge profits, embezzle and accept bribes. The amount of gray income was initially estimated to exceed 5 million yuan.

The next day, the Yinzhou Public Security Bureau issued a nationwide arrest warrant to hunt down the suspect Wang Tong. Various evidences pointed out that Wang Tong had a close relationship with Meng Fanchao and had used Meng Fanchao as a protective umbrella for many years to smuggle, sell drugs, set up private casinos, and even committed murder.

Wang Tong was arrested at Dengzhou Airport, the capital of southern Henan Province, a week after he fled. If he had not been caught in time, Wang Tong would have been able to sneak out of the country with a fake ID and visa.

This time, Yinzhou spent a lot of energy to crack down on Meng Fanchao and Wang Tong's forces. The key is that the secretary of the Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee paid special attention to it and issued a stern order to the Yinzhou Public Security Bureau, requiring it to catch the key figure Wang Tong.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve, after participating in an event to visit and comfort lonely elderly people, County Party Secretary Qian Dechen was taken away by two men in black coats into a black business car and disappeared from everyone's sight.

On the evening news, the county TV station did not broadcast the event Qian Dechen attended, but instead broadcast the year-end government work report and New Year's greetings by the county magistrate Sun Weiming. On New Year's Eve, news came that Qian Dechen was placed under double supervision because of his relationship with Wang Tong. The Year of the Dog in 2006 was destined to be a time of joy for some and sorrow for others.

Qian Dechen had been rooted in Dongtai for many years, and his downfall caused instability in the Dongtai officialdom. The municipal party committee held an emergency meeting and appointed the county magistrate Sun Weiming to replace Qian Dechen as the county party secretary on New Year's Eve. Sun Weiming undoubtedly became the biggest winner in this turmoil.

In the officialdom, the winners who laugh last are all masters who are good at planning and arranging. Sun Weiming used Fang Zhicheng as a sharp blade to cut through Qian Dechen's defense without bloodshed, and then took advantage of the situation to replace him. Although the strategy was not very aboveboard, it was enough to amaze people.

The road of official career is like the battlefield, where one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Qian Dechen was so glorious at the beginning, but he could not resist the schemes of his political enemies and ended up in regret.

Many people were affected by Qian Dechen, and the most unlucky one was undoubtedly Luo Hui, who had just been promoted to deputy county chief for less than half a year. Because of his team, he had to stand aside after the change of the county government. A fair and objective evaluation is that Luo Hui is an official with brains and means. If Qian Dechen's power had not collapsed, his future would have been worry-free. The only thing to blame is Luo Hui's bad official luck. The situation suddenly changed. Even if he had the ability and ambition, he could only stand aside. Although the county government has not yet made clear the division of labor and readjusted it, it is indeed impossible for Luo Hui to be responsible for attracting investment again.

After several days of intense interrogation, Qian Dechen's mental state was on the verge of collapse, but he disagreed with several accusations made by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Qian Dechen was a very confident person. Over the years, he believed that he had devoted all his efforts to the development of Dongtai. If it were not for Qian Dechen, how could Dongtai maintain its current steady upward momentum

He believed that all of this was the work of Sun Weiming, who painstakingly created the current situation in an attempt to turn himself into a stepping stone in his official career.

The interrogators from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection left the room, and Qian Dechen suddenly sighed, as if he had aged many years. At this time, the room was opened again, and a person Qian Dechen was very reluctant to see walked in from outside - Sun Weiming.

Sun Weiming was carrying a lunch box bag, took out a few side dishes from it, and then opened a bottle of white wine. With a faint smile on his face, he said softly, "Secretary Qian, I'm here to see you. It must be hard to be interrogated, right? Let's have a couple of drinks to relax."

Qian Dechen rolled his eyes at Sun Weiming helplessly, and watched him fiddle with the food box coldly. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Sun Weiming, I was wrong. I didn't expect you to make such a big move this time. I originally thought you were just a reckless man, but now I think I was deceived by your appearance."

In Qian Dechen's impression, Sun Weiming was not a qualified politician, because in many cases, some of the methods he used were too rigid and not smooth and clever enough. Therefore, Qian Dechen looked down on Sun Weiming from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he thought he could control Sun Weiming well.

Qian Dechen felt a little regretful now. Thinking carefully, Sun Weiming's rough outline was just to confuse him. Sun Weiming was very cold and cunning in his bones, including the crucial stab in his heart this time, which was also cleverly done by someone else.

After Qian Dechen thought it through, he realized that he was too shallow. After he completely controlled Dongtai in his hands, he often lost his guard and gave Sun Weiming opportunities.

Sun Weiming had already filled two glasses of wine. Qian Dechen smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up one glass and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy feeling in his mouth lingered, and he couldn't help frowning and gasping twice.

Sun Weiming smiled, drank a glass as well, and said softly: "Secretary Qian, as my old leader, I still respect you very much. I think what you said about the courage of a reckless man is very pertinent. In the first few years after taking office, I was indeed too impatient, so I often handled problems immaturely. However, it is also because of you that I can mature so quickly and step by step reach my current position."

When talking about this, a shadow flashed across Sun Weiming's face. When he first took office, Qian Dechen used him and made him suffer several big losses. After that, Sun Weiming decided to break with Qian Dechen and not let Qian Dechen lead him by the nose anymore. He began to investigate Qian Dechen in secret, and finally found the extremely secret relationship between Qian Dechen and Wang Tong, and then found the key point of Meng Fanchao, and finally used Fang Zhicheng as a sharp blade to deal a fatal blow to Qian Dechen.

Qian Dechen heard the hidden meaning of Sun Weiming's words, and implied that his current situation was entirely his own fault. If it wasn't for his oppression, why would Sun Weiming be so rebellious? He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and sighed lightly: "Weiming, have you ever thought that you are still a little naive in handling this matter. The problem between us is an internal conflict of Dongtai, but now you are using the power of the city to break this balance and cause an earthquake in Dongtai's officialdom, which is actually not conducive to your better control of Dongtai. Letting the wolf into the house, I believe you can understand this term."

Sun Weiming smiled, filled Qian Dechen's glass with wine, and said in a clear voice: "Secretary Qian, you should look at everything from a development perspective. Dongtai wants to develop, so how can it never change? If you insist on not wanting it to change, and not letting it change, it would be a bit inappropriate. The city has been planning to change Dongtai's current situation since the beginning of last year. If you had retreated bravely at the beginning, that would have been the best way to protect yourself."

Qian Dechen's eyes flashed with a hint of regret, and he smiled bitterly: "If it were you, even if you had anticipated this day, would you be able to give up everything so easily?"

Sun Weiming was silent for a long time. Just as Qian Dechen said, if he were in his situation, he would probably fight hard. After gaining power, who can easily let go
