Xiang Xin has been in the public security system for a long time. There is a saying in this field that goes, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish." For some things, one needs to turn a blind eye. After all, there are so many people in the district, and many of them break the law and discipline. The prison is so small, and one cannot arrest them all.

As for Brother Wai, everyone knows that he has the means and qualifications. As long as he doesn't act excessively, let him be stable. This will also help control the direction of the entire Hanzhou underground world.

For example, sometimes the public security system cannot investigate something, but if Brother Wai uses some tricks, the investigation will be much faster, and this forms a tacit understanding.

Brother Wai became the emperor of the Hanzhou underground world and was tacitly approved by the public security system. No one questioned the rationality of this existence, of course, Fang Zhicheng questioned it now.

When one person is above the law, it affects the harmony of society.

Fang Zhicheng didn't believe that Brother Wai had completely cleared himself. He must still be infringing on the interests of the public and challenging the bottom line of society, so he decided to investigate Brother Wai.

After Xiang Xin hung up the phone, Fang Zhicheng's phone vibrated twice, and he received an anonymous text message, "Mr. Fang, if you don't stop, you'll lose your life."

Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. As expected, Brother Wai was getting anxious and had already started using text messages to threaten him.

Fang Zhicheng is the district head of Xiaguang District and a person of status and position. Brother Wai even dares to intimidate himself, let alone those ordinary people who infringe on Brother Wai’s interests, they will probably encounter even worse behavior.

Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment and replied, "I only have one life, and I cherish it very much. But I also believe that I am blessed with a long life. If you dare to come and take it, you might as well give it a try and see who will lose their life in the end!"

Fang Zhicheng threw his phone aside, feeling both curious and amused. He originally thought that since Brother Wai was called the Godfather, his style of doing things should be more generous, but he didn't expect that he would resort to such a despicable tactic as sending threatening text messages. He really underestimated himself.

Fang Zhicheng was not afraid of death, but it was too frivolous to think that he would be afraid of death just because of a text message. Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers on the table twice. What he was worried about now was that someone from above would interfere, which would be much more troublesome than the naked threat from Brother Wai.

Chapter 0562 The Arrogant Godfather

As expected, when the joint investigation team of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Quality Supervision Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau entered the Palace Bar for the fourth time to collect evidence, Fang Zhicheng received a call from Zhao Liang, member of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor. This also confirmed the rumor—Zhao Liang was behind Brother Wai.

Zhao Ling's tone was somewhat serious. "District Chief Fang, I have received many complaints about you recently. It is said that your Xiaguang District is deliberately suppressing enterprises in the name of rectifying the business atmosphere. I wonder if the situation is true?"

Fang Zhicheng had already prepared for this, and had already thought of a response to Zhao Ling's questioning. "Mayor Zhao, I can guess how you received such a complaint. However, please understand that we have also received many complaints about the Palace Bar, which is why we have come to investigate again and again."

Zhao Ling said in a deep voice: "Businesses need to operate normally. How can they open their doors for business if the investigation team comes every few days? Moreover, you have come to their door many times, but each time you have not found any evidence. In this case, there are only two possibilities. One is that the complaint you received is false, and it is the competitor who deliberately attacked the Royal Palace Bar. The other is that the investigation team organized by the district government has limited capabilities, and it should be transferred to the municipal department for investigation."

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Zhao Liang's methods were sophisticated enough. Both the first and second possibilities pushed the responsibility onto the district government. However, Fang Zhicheng had no choice but to accept it. After all, judging from the results of several investigations, Brother Wai's preparations were very thorough and no results were found at all. This gave Zhao Liang the opportunity to intervene.

Zhao Ling continued, "Comrade Zhicheng, let me be frank with you. I know the owner of the Palace Bar. I know his character very well and he would not do anything illegal. If there is any problem between you two, I am willing to be the middleman and help you coordinate. We are all adults, so don't make a big fuss over trivial matters. Secretary Xia repeatedly emphasized at the meeting that stable development overrides everything. What you are doing now has violated this idea, so you need to control it."

Fang Zhicheng secretly thought that Zhao Ling was very tactful in his words and was very careful about his methods. Zhao Ling first criticized Fang Zhicheng for his wrong behavior in terms of work methods, and then changed the subject and suggested that Fang Zhicheng sit down and talk with Brother Wai.

Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Mayor Zhao, your opinion is very pertinent and I can understand it. Let me promise you that from today on, the district investigation team will no longer conduct surprise inspections at the Palace Bar."

Zhao Ling frowned slightly, because Fang Zhicheng's words were ambiguous. It seemed that he agreed to his proposal, but in fact he had a backup plan. What did he mean by no surprise inspection? Would there still be normal inspections

Zhao Ling coughed lightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhicheng, we are old acquaintances. When you were the deputy mayor of Dongtai, I met you in Yanjing. At that time, I thought you were a good talent. Now the city is in need of young officials like you who are full of urgency. However, at the same time, you should also pay attention to the methods and methods, and don't be too serious about everything. The officialdom of Hanzhou is not as complicated as you think."

Fang Zhicheng replied calmly: "Mayor Zhao, thank you for your advice. However, maybe it's because of my personality. If I really encounter something that I think is wrong, I will take it seriously."

Zhao Ling knew that continuing the conversation would not be very useful, so he smiled and said, "Then I wish you good luck!"

Even though Zhao Liang had cultivated himself to a very mature level, he was still angered by Fang Zhicheng's arrogant attitude. As an executive vice mayor, he took the initiative to call a district chief, and the other party should have been extremely respectful, but Fang Zhicheng did not take him seriously at all.

Seeing that Zhao Ling's face was not very good, Brother Wai said, "Mayor Zhao, is it possible that Fang Zhicheng still refuses to repent?"

Zhao Ling nodded and said solemnly: "Fang Zhicheng is a difficult person. When he came to Hanzhou half a year ago, he set the backyard on fire, catching Secretary Xia off guard. However, judging from Secretary Xia's attitude, Fang Zhicheng is not an easy person to deal with. He definitely has a strong backing in the province. In addition, he also participated in the county training class of the Central Party School. It can be seen that he should be a young reserve cadre that the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department focuses on training."

Seeing Zhao Ling's serious tone, Brother Wai asked, "Mayor Zhao, what is your opinion?"

Zhao Ling waved his hand and said calmly, "I don't have any opinions. I'm just telling you some information from the government's perspective. You still need to solve the specific problems yourself. You are also an old hand, can't you handle a rookie?"

Brother Wai knew what Zhao Liang meant. He was encouraging himself to use other methods to solve the problem.

Brother Wai nodded calmly and said, "Mayor Zhao, please help me. I still need you to take care of everything."

Zhao Liang nodded and said, "However, from today on, there should be no surprise attacks from Xiaguang District." This was the only gain from Zhao Liang's phone call to Fang Zhicheng today.

Brother Wai obviously didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to be so difficult to deal with. He originally thought that Zhao Liang's intervention would be enough to make Fang Zhicheng stop, but he never expected that Fang Zhicheng rejected Zhao Liang's mediation.

After leaving the government compound, Brother Wai took out his cell phone and called several numbers he hadn't contacted for a long time.

"Cripple, can you move recently?" "Brother Wai, what else do you want me to do?" "Someone wants you to deal with something." "Who is it?" "I'll have someone send you the information. Remember to be clean and tidy, and don't leave any evidence." "Don't worry, this is not the first time I've done this kind of thing."

Fang Zhicheng got off work early today. After taking a shower, he sat in the living room watching TV. Bored, he called Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin had just finished the show and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Fang Zhicheng said: "Nothing, I just want to chat."

Xie Yuxin said sarcastically: "You only think of me when you are bored."

Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "When did you become so hypocritical?"

Xie Yuxin snorted and said, "I am always so hypocritical. If you don't like me, stay away from me."

Fang Zhicheng frowned and said with emotion: "Yuxin, the tone of your voice is becoming more and more like Du Xi."

Xie Yuxin laughed and said, "Why? Is Du Xi's personality bad? I think she has a very unique personality. If a woman doesn't have her own personality, she will be easily forgotten, especially a star like her, who must have her own style."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "But you are not Du Xi's profession, so there is no need to be so unruly."
