Lin Zhen was still a little wary of Zuo Yuxi. After all, Zuo Jing was on a roll. Maybe he would be transferred directly to Guanshan after one term in Lingyang. His future was limitless. This time, he was mainly cooperating with Mu Zechen to play a small role. There was no need to fight with Zuo Yuxi. He told Zheng Yunzhong to arrange the next thing with a cold face, and returned to the director's office with a big hand.
Zheng Yunzhong coughed lightly and said, "Director Zuo, since we have Secretary Xu's instructions, let's go together. But you are definitely worrying too much. We will strictly follow the procedures, and there will be nothing wrong."
This was just for show, no one took it seriously. If Wen Liang went to the Public Security Bureau alone today, with Lin Zhen's character, it would be a huge joke if he didn't suffer a little. The Public Security Bureau has many ways to make people suffer. Even if they pursued it later, Lin Zhen would never admit it, and no one could do anything to him.
This is why Zuo Yuxi insisted on accompanying him throughout the whole process!
Everyone went upstairs one after another. In order to avoid another conflict, the two parties involved in the case had to make separate statements. Gu Wenyuan and Mu Shanshan went to the first room, Wen Liang went to the second room, and Tan Yu, as a third-party witness, was also taken away for questioning and went to the third room. Zuo Yuxi was originally going to go with Wen Liang, but Wen Liang was worried that Tan Yu would suffer a loss alone, so he asked Zuo Yuxi to go with him to take care of him. As for Ning Xi, after Tan Yu stood up at school just now, Wen Liang asked her to leave first. After all, Gu Wenyuan and others saw that the two got off the same car, and her confession was dispensable. In addition, with Zuo Yuxi coming forward, Ning Xi, an outsider, was better not to be involved.
Seeing Zuo Yuxi's prestige and tactics, Ning Xi knew that she would not be of much use at the scene, so she agreed to Wen Liang's proposal, but still drove behind the police car and followed it all the way to the door of the Public Security Bureau. This was also good, if there was anything wrong inside, she could also respond flexibly.
The two policemen, one old and one young, were responsible for forgiving him. When they entered the room, the older policeman whispered, "Xiao Zhao, be polite when you speak later. Don't be rude. You saw how aggressive they were just now. Even Director Lin had to give in. Don't give it to me, and don't cause trouble for yourself."
Xiao Zhao looked annoyed and said, "He's just a deputy director of the Education Bureau. How dare he interfere with our investigation? Brother Liu, just wait and see how I deal with this little bastard..."
Brother Liu's face turned green. He failed to hold Xiao Zhao back. Xiao Zhao had already pushed the door open and went in. Brother Liu angrily cursed Xiao Zhao as an idiot and hurriedly followed him.
Wen Liang was standing in the room taking in the surroundings when he was pushed from behind. Xiao Zhao's face was so ugly that it could fry tofu. He scolded, "Sit down. What are you looking at? Do you think this is your kitchen? Do you know the rules?"
Wen Liang's lower body was very stable, he didn't move at all, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Zhao, and said, "You are courageous and very motivated."
Xiao Zhao raised the folder in his hand and said, "Still talking back? You're asking for a beating!"
Brother Liu squeezed in between the two of them, blocked Xiao Zhao with one hand, gently pushed Wen Liang's arm with the other, and said with a smile: "Classmate, please sit down first. Xiao Zhao has just been assigned to the Public Security Bureau not long ago. He is young, impulsive and ignorant. I think it's better to take the statement as soon as possible. It will save you trouble and worry for us."
"Young and impulsive? Oh, what's the name of this officer?"
"My last name is Liu. I have been in the bureau for a long time. I am so ashamed to be called Brother Liu by my colleagues."
"Brother Liu," Wen Liang pointed at Xiao Zhao and said, "You think he is young and impulsive, but I don't think so. He was yelling outside the school, which is considered young and impulsive. But now he knows that this is not an ordinary fight, but he is still obsessed with biting me. Brother Liu, do you think that Officer Zhao has an excessive sense of justice, or does he have other intentions?"
Brother Liu smiled and said, "His family is from another place, so he doesn't know the actual situation in Qingzhou. Young people are bound to make mistakes. I will definitely talk to him!"
"It's true that my family lives in another place, but I don't know the situation in Qingzhou." Wen Liang's deep, dark eyes seemed to pierce people's hearts. "Maybe he knows too much and wants to seize the opportunity to gamble. If he wins, he can cling to someone's thigh. It will take at least ten years of hard work?"
When Brother Liu heard this, he thought more and more that Wen Liang was right, and he looked at Xiao Zhao with a bit of hostility. He was also an old man in the public security system. Although he was smiling and kind to others, he was also very ruthless. Otherwise, in a place like the public security bureau, an old man could only be called Lao Liu, not "brother".
He leaned close to Xiao Zhao's ear, and his voice sounded very sinister: "MB, if you want to fight for your future, I won't stop you, but don't drag me down with you, understand?"
Xiao Zhao didn't expect that this good-natured man whom he had always looked down upon would actually have such a side to him. He felt uneasy in his heart and muttered to himself, not daring to speak out anymore.
Wen Liang separated the two people with just a few words. He completely controlled the situation and the rhythm, but he seemed to be nothing. He turned around and sat on the chair, smiling: "Brother Liu, let's do business."
When Wen Huaiming arrived, Wen Liang and others had just finished taking notes. Wen Huaiming didn't bother to look at his son, but went to Lin Zhen's office first and conveyed Xu Fuyan's latest instructions, asking him to hurry up and find out the truth of the matter, and then report to the municipal party committee.
Lin Zhen also received a call from Mu Zechen and learned about what happened in the Municipal Party Committee. When he heard that Xu Fuyan was pressed by Gu Shitong but could only swallow his anger, he couldn't help but laugh. In his opinion, even though Wen Huaiming and Xu Fuyan had a close relationship, it was not worth taking such a big political risk and offending so many bigwigs at the same time just to forgive a child.
Clues can also be seen from Xu Fuyan's new instructions. He didn't say it earlier or later, but just after He Xihua made a phone call, he asked him to submit the investigation report on the incident as soon as possible!
for what
Isn't it that Lin Zhen needs to make up a suitable excuse so that the new leader of Qingzhou can back down from the situation without losing face, appease Gu Shitong, and at the same time give an explanation to the province and put a perfect end to this incident!
What’s funny is that the final judgment on Wen Liang was actually brought by Wen Huaiming himself. Just based on this level of political sensitivity, it is clear that no matter how much one brags, it is still bragging. Once it encounters the wind or hits the wall, it will still shatter into pieces!
Unfortunately, whether it was Gu Shitong, Mu Zechen, Qi Shu, or Lin Zhen, they didn't know that in Xu Fuyan's power network, the child in their eyes occupied such an important link! It was this misjudgment that led their entire judgment to deviate!
Lin Zhen was in a good mood. Before the case analysis meeting, he also mocked Wen Huaiming: "Director Wen, go see Wen Liang. Maybe the next time you see him, he will have to go to the juvenile detention center. That would be very inconvenient."
Wen Huaiming smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Director Lin!"
Lin Zhen snorted coldly and walked away.
Interrogation room on the second floor.
Wen Huaiming, Zuo Yuxi and Wen Liang sat around the table. Wen Huaiming described in detail Mu Zechen's arrogant behavior in the Municipal Party Committee and Gu Shitong's little tricks in Guanshan. Wen Liang listened quietly, tapping his knees with his fingers from time to time, without saying a word.
Zuo Yuxi frowned and said, "Mu Laohei is desperate to talk to Secretary Xu like this?"
Wen Huaiming whispered, "Mu Zechen may not be brave enough to do this. This should be Gu Shitong's order. No one expected that he would react so strongly this time."
Wen Liang suddenly laughed and said, "I did think of that."
Wen Huaiming and Zuo Yuxi were both stunned. Wen Liang stood up and said, "Minghua wanted to acquire Qinghua Factory through Guanshan's Xinxing Chemical Industry earlier, and asked He Xihua to make the connection. Mu Zechen, Qi Shu and others also communicated with the Municipal Party Committee many times, but they were blocked by you. This is also the direct reason why your appointment was blocked, isn't it?"
Wen Huaiming didn't expect Wen Liang to know about this, and said, "Yes, it is true... I didn't tell you last time because I didn't want you to worry..."
Zuo Yuxi was surprised and asked, "Didn't you ask me to investigate this matter last night? How come you know it so clearly today?"
Wen Liang naturally couldn't tell her that he had spent the whole night with Ning Xi. He gave her a look that said "I'll tell you later." Then he pressed his hand on his father's shoulder, indicating that he understood his intentions. He said, "This incident made Gu Shitong very passive. He was caught between the group and He Xihua. You can imagine how angry he was. It just so happened that something like this happened again today. His son was beaten and his car was smashed. It's not surprising that he had an extreme reaction... Do you really think that Gu Shitong, this tiger, is a vegetarian?"
Wen Huaiming suddenly came to an understanding and understood Wen Liang's thoughts. He just wanted to vent his anger for him. He sighed, "You are too impulsive... Gu Shitong can't really do anything to me by tripping me up. Why take such a big risk to anger him?"
"This is just one of the reasons!" Wen Liang's face was unusually heavy, and he changed the subject, saying, "Father, Sister Zuo, do you think that after getting rid of Zhou Yuanting, Qingzhou is really peaceful?"
"how?"
Wen Liang's fingers gently drew three overlapping circles on the table and said, "If Jiangzhou is regarded as a circle, Zhou Yuanting and Fan Heng'an were once the big circle in this circle, occupying an absolutely strong position, while Xu Fuyan occupied another small circle. The two circles intersect and overlap, squeeze each other, and devour each other. It's either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. But outside these two circles, there is another circle, which belongs to Gu Shitong. Although he is in Guanshan, Mu Zechen is firmly nailed to Qingzhou, with one foot outside the circle and one foot in the center of the circle. You can avoid him, but you can't ignore him."
"And now," Wen Liang's eyes showed a hint of worry, "Zhou Yuanting and Fan Heng'an have fallen, and this once largest circle in Qingzhou has disappeared, leaving a large area vacant. Xu Fuyan took over a part of it, but the other part is being coveted by others."
Zuo Yuxi understood what he meant and said, "Are you worried about Gu Shitong?"
"Before Fan Heng'an was here, half or more than half of Qingzhou's resources were occupied by him. Gu Shitong knew that he couldn't fight head-on, so he kept a low profile and was tolerant. But now the situation has changed suddenly, and Qingzhou is in ruins. It's a good time to grab territory. If you were Gu Shitong, would you still stand on the sidelines and watch the opportunity slip away?"
"Of course not, but Secretary Xu may not be willing to let another tiger in..." Wen Huaiming's words made sense, but he saw the appearance but not the essence. Or he always positioned himself on Xu Fuyan's side and never thought about this issue from an opposing position, so he didn't know what his son was thinking.
Wen Liang glanced at Zuo Yuxi and said with a wry smile: "It is precisely because of Xu Fuyan that we need to be more wary of Gu Shitong!"
Wen Huaiming's palms trembled violently, and he looked at Wen Liang in surprise, speechless for a moment.
At the beginning, Xu Fuyan was in a weak position and had no power to change the situation in Qingzhou. Under the increasingly domineering situation of Zhou Yuanting, joining forces with Zuo Yuxi was the only choice. But after Zhou Yuanting's downfall, the situation changed again. Zuo Yuxi, who was once the biggest helper, had become a faction of his own. In order to prevent the future from becoming too powerful, and to concentrate the power in his hands and stabilize the political situation in Qingzhou, it is very likely that Xu Fuyan will use Gu Shitong to balance Zuo Yuxi.
The fact that Liu Tianlai was kicked out of the power center of Qingzhou Public Security Bureau was a signal that was not very clear, but was enough to make Wen Liang feel alert!
Zuo Yuxi never regarded Xu Fuyan as her boss. Her position was very simple. No matter which side Wen Liang stood on, behind his back, there must be her overlapping figure. So before Wen Liang finished speaking, she thought through the cause and effect and sneered: "Xu Fuyan, you have a mean heart!"
Given Zuo Yuxi's passion for power, Xu Fuyan's preparations for a rainy day might not be wrong! However, Wen Liang certainly would not point this out. For him, whether it was his father's career or the business that was about to begin, he would not allow Gu Shitong, a behemoth, to board Xu Fuyan's ship.
As the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps. Now he is not even a shrimp. When he encounters the giant crocodile Minghua Group, how can he still struggle? The situation he has worked hard to build since his rebirth is even more like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
"From Xu Fuyan's perspective, there is nothing wrong with him doing this." Wen Liang wiped away the circle representing Gu Shitong on the table with one hand, and said harshly: "From my perspective, Xu and Gu can only turn against each other!"
So from the moment Mu Shanshan drew his sword, Wen Liang knew that this matter could be made bigger. Taking advantage of the situation, it might be an opportunity to make Xu Fuyan and Gu Shitong feel dirty. But he didn't expect that Gu Shitong's counterattack in anger would be so fierce and swift, and the effect was beyond imagination!
The only thing to do now is how to get out. As long as they can walk out of the Public Security Bureau unscathed, they will win in the end! And the stay or departure of Gu Wenyuan, Mu Shanshan and others is actually irrelevant!
Wen Liang was not completely sure at first, but Wen Huaiming's arrival made him realize that Xu Fuyan had made up his mind. There were three reasons why Wen Huaiming came to see his son openly before the case was clear: first, to comfort Wen Liang, second, to borrow Zuo Yuxi's strength, and third, to seek advice from everyone.
