In the Su family compound in Shanzhou, Old Master Su sighed deeply. Dong Zhiqiu, who was sitting opposite him, had a complex expression on her face, because she was struggling with many things in her heart. "Dad, your advance notice is really too incredible."
Old Master Su explained in a deep voice: "Zhi Qiu, you also know the current situation of the Su family. Whether we can stand firm depends on whether Su Qing can withstand the pressure. If such a storm breaks out now, someone will inevitably make things difficult for her because of this old incident. As for the faction, there may also be instability in the military. The Su family is no longer the Su family when the eldest brother was still alive. The eldest brother left so early and shirked his responsibilities. This is irresponsible of him. Now is the time for the eldest brother to pay back his debt."
Dong Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Dad, I understand your difficulties. But there is a problem. Even if we agree that Fang Zhicheng is the eldest brother's illegitimate son, will Su Qing agree? Will Fang Zhicheng agree?"
Old Master Su nodded and said, "You are right, this is indeed a problem. However, I believe Su Qing can understand my good intentions, and Zhicheng, even if he disagrees, has to do as I say. This is his fate, and no one can change it."
Dong Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, you are still as cruel as ever."
Old Master Su laughed at himself and said, "Zhi Qiu, I know you will understand me and support me!"
Dong Zhiqiu fell into deep thought and said, "I'll give you an answer after I think it over."
After Dong Zhiqiu left, Su Lao looked haggard. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. The mystery of Fang Zhicheng's life experience was about to be revealed. He chose another method to preserve Su Qing's reputation, which was to let Fang Zhicheng enter the Su family, but as the illegitimate son of the eldest son Su Gang. In this way, Su Qing's identity could be temporarily appeased, and the attention of political enemies could be diverted at the same time.
However, as Dong Zhiqiu mentioned, are Su Qing and Fang Zhicheng, mother and son, willing to accept his arrangements
Chapter 0568: Difficulty of Reason and Intolerance
A major event that happened recently in Hanzhou was that the Palace Bar was completely closed down. The superficial reason was that the Palace Bar was operating illegally, not only selling fake alcohol, but also condoning drug use and providing venues for prostitutes. But the deeper reason spread among the people, the Palace Bar was closed down because the owner, Brother Wai, had a ruthless hand on Fang Zhicheng, the mayor of Xiaguang District. As a result, the government was furious and eliminated this big cancer that had plagued Hanzhou for many years.
Although Brother Wai has rarely violated laws and disciplines over the years, this does not mean that he can control his subordinates to do the same. Many people relied on Brother Wai's reputation to engage in activities such as loan sharking and underground gambling in Hanzhou, which corrupted the atmosphere in Hanzhou. Therefore, the government's action against the Palace Bar this time was still praised by the people.
Executive Vice Mayor Zhao Liang was called to Xia Lanshan's office because of this matter, and the two talked for a full forty minutes.
"Zhao Ling, you and I both have responsibilities for handling this matter." Xia Lanshan said earnestly, "The Provincial State Security Bureau arranged personnel to investigate Brother Wai and found that he had seriously violated the bottom line of society and the laws of the country. The preliminary verdict is clear - death penalty!"
Zhao Ling's face was uncertain, and he said in a deep voice: "Secretary Xia, I know I made a serious mistake in this matter, and I hope the organization can punish me. Lao Wai and I have a good personal relationship, but he disguised himself so well that I didn't know he had done so many illegal things. Now that Lao Wai has been investigated, I feel very upset about my blindness."
Seeing that Zhao Ling was sincere in admitting his mistakes, Xia Lanshan sighed and said, "Old Zhao, your contribution to Hanzhou's economic development over the years is obvious to all. Without you, the government would not be able to obtain so much national funding. However, the provincial party committee has a clear attitude on this matter, and the government must give an explanation. Your relationship with Brother Wai was also highlighted by the provincial party committee. After repeated communication with provincial leaders, we have decided that you should put aside your work temporarily and go to the provincial party school for further studies for a period of time. After the storm has passed, you can come back to work again."
Zhao Liang sighed secretly, knowing that this was the best solution Xia Lanshan could get for him. Zhao Liang had guaranteed the Palace Bar, which was why Brother Wai was so arrogant. Now that the Palace Bar was found to have various problems, Zhao Liang had no way to clear himself.
This is also because Xia Lanshan is a relatively stable municipal party secretary, which led to such a result. Otherwise, Zhao Liang would probably be pushed out and become an example to others.
In order to save the face of the Hanzhou government team, Xia Lanshan protected Zhao Liang, which gave Zhao Liang a relatively good retreat.
Zhao Ling was filled with emotion and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Xia, I accept the organization's arrangement, and I also solemnly promise that I will reflect on it and stand up again."
Xia Lanshan smiled comfortingly and said, "Old Zhao, I believe you will not be defeated by this setback."
The two continued chatting for a while before Zhao Liang said goodbye and left.
Xia Lanshan took off his glasses, sighed deeply, and wrote Fang Zhicheng's name on a piece of white paper. He drew several question marks next to it with a pen. In the end, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, because Fang Zhicheng's power really made him a little unclear. Originally, he thought that he and Song Wendi had a master-disciple relationship, but he didn't expect that the National Security Bureau would intervene in this matter. Song Wendi had no relationship with the National Security Bureau. Could it be that Fang Zhicheng had other hidden strengths
Xia Lanshan was very troubled by Fang Zhicheng. Any municipal party secretary would probably feel some trouble if he met Fang Zhicheng, because Fang Zhicheng was completely a bomb and would cause trouble from time to time, and the local government would also appear unstable because of his actions.
The phone on the desk suddenly rang at this moment. Xia Lanshan took a look at the number and saw that it was a call from the provincial government. He knew it must be Governor Bu who came to call for punishment.
As expected, Bu Yiren's tone was very bad. He said, "Comrade Lanshan, what is going on? How could such a situation occur in your Hanzhou?"
Xia Lanshan explained: "Governor Bu, this problem is my fault. I have no choice but to take responsibility. Please punish me."
Bu Yiren sighed and said, "The situation has become like this now. It's a fait accompli, so I can't say much. The position of vice governor this year was originally chosen for you, but Secretary Wen thinks you are still lacking something for the time being. However, don't be discouraged. I will coordinate for you and try to help you make further progress."
"Thank you Governor Raub for your concern." A bitter look appeared on Xia Lanshan's face.
Originally, the position of deputy governor was almost certain, which was why Xia Lanshan could stabilize Hanzhou. But he didn't expect that the more he wanted to be stable, the more mistakes he made. The incident of the Palace Bar made the provincial party committee very disappointed with Hanzhou's work.
A career in politics is like sailing on the sea. No one knows when a storm will come. Xia Lanshan has long developed a heart of steel that can withstand any pressure. He sat at his desk and picked up the paper with Fang Zhicheng's name on it. Suddenly, he had a feeling that he needed to change his thinking.
The dragon swims in the sea, stirring up wind and waves. I want to control the ship so that it will not be disturbed by the wind and rain, but how can I forcibly change God's will? It is better to pull the flagpole again and set sail. In this way, perhaps I can create another world.
In short, Fang Zhicheng's arrival in Hanzhou has made the situation unpredictable. Xia Lanshan might as well take advantage of him as a variable and let nature take its course, and perhaps he will get unexpected results.
…
Around 3pm, Meng Hu received Su Qing and several others who came to Hanzhou from Yanjing. Su Qing was wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses, and she looked expressionless, but her inner anxiety could be seen from many details of her movements.
"How is he?" Su Qing asked calmly while sitting in the back seat of the car, his eyes turned to the window, seemingly admiring the scenery along the way.
Meng Hu replied in a deep voice: "It's fine now."
Su Qing sighed and said unhappily: "Didn't the old man ask you to protect him? How come this problem still occurred?"
Meng Hu said truthfully: "The other party was too cunning. They used a trick to divert attention and attack from the west. I was deceived by their trick."
Su Qing's tone became even colder, and he asked, "Murderer, what happened?"
Meng Hu quickly said: "He has been handed over to the National Security Bureau. He pleaded guilty."
Su Qing hummed and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Hu didn't say anything else. He could feel a strong chill from Su Qing. Meng Hu didn't know that Su Qing was Fang Zhicheng's biological mother at this moment. Otherwise, he should be able to understand Su Qing's feelings.
He finally found out that his son was still alive, and suddenly learned that he was seriously injured and hospitalized. You can imagine how he felt.
Blood relationship is the greatest and most mysterious connection in the world, and no one can escape it.
