A little after one in the morning, in the mayor's office at City Hall.
It was already so late, but Li Mingsheng still didn't rest. Instead, he sat at his desk, looking down at his tablet computer.
Li Yuan was standing nearby, helping his leader make a new pot of tea.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a sudden knock on the office door, and Li Mingsheng said without even looking up, "Come in."
Secretary General Wang Changli pushed the door open and walked in, then quickly came to the desk.
Li Mingsheng looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened at the police station..." Wang Changli said anxiously, "Xiao Yu went to the police station for a meeting, with the Communications Department, to conduct an internal audit. During the meeting, Lao Shang arrested him on the spot. Leader, Lao Shang..."
Li Mingsheng interrupted Wang Changli halfway through his speech and said, "Internal audit! Do you want me to speak? What are you talking about? If there is something wrong, it is something wrong. If there is nothing wrong, it is nothing wrong."
“Snap!”
Li Mingsheng reached out and threw the tablet on the table, pointed at it and added: "Look for yourself, what is the current public opinion environment?"
Wang Changli looked at the micro-page displayed on the tablet computer, which was full of posts from the Penlong City Police System.
Li Mingsheng waved his hand: "Okay, go and handle it."
Wang Changli nodded, turned and left the office.
After arriving in the corridor, he stroked his chin, thought for a moment, took out his cell phone and made a call.
…
At the same time, in the lounge of the police station, Su Tianyu was sitting on the sofa smoking.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
The phone rang throughout the room. Su Tianyu took it out and answered the phone: "Hello, Uncle Wang?"
Wang Changli asked gently, "Nothing else, I just want to ask you, are you still in the police station?"
Su Tianyu nodded: "Yes."
Wang Changli asked politely, "Is Lao Shang here too? The leader wants you and Lao Shang to come over here and give a work report after the meeting is over."
The meaning of this statement was obvious, but Su Tianyu still responded directly: "I have arrested Lao Shang. Not only him, but also Wang Daolin has been isolated for investigation. The police department is rotten to the core. I came back this time... to kill people."
When Wang Changli heard this, he was a little confused and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Su Tianyu held the phone in his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "More than ten tons of cargo! Isn't it a bit too big?! This is not a question of whether to give garrison privileges or not, nor does it involve any stance! This is someone using the so-called political form to put money into their own safe! And they are doing it without any scruples!"
Wang Changli was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, then I won't ask."
Su Tianyu said: "Uncle Wang, please report to the leader. I still have to continue the meeting here, so let's leave it at that for now."
After saying that, the two hung up the phone.
…
In the city hall, Wang Changli stood in the corridor and thought for two minutes before he reached out again and knocked on the office door.
“Boom boom boom!”
"Enter!"
Wang Changli pushed the door and walked in. Li Mingsheng saw him and frowned slightly.
Wang Changli walked quickly to Li Mingsheng and whispered, "Mayor... Now not only has Lao Shang been arrested, but Wang Daolin has also been dismissed. From what Tianyu said, the reason should be that the arrest operation failed."
Li Mingsheng glanced at Wang Changli and responded helplessly, "You... I told you, there's no way to talk about this. If you ask, he will have ten thousand ways to shut you up. Let him do whatever he wants. Flies don't bite seamless eggs. The person behind the scenes is not a problem, but being pushed is the biggest problem."
Wang Changli was a man of justice. After thinking for a long time, he persuaded softly, "Leader, Lao Shang has been in the team for so many years... and when the police department changed, he was the first to support us. Now...!"
Li Mingsheng frowned and waved his hands: "Don't say these words now! Don't say them!!"
"well!"
Wang Changli sighed, nodded slowly, and replied softly: "Then I'll go first...!"
…
At the Longcheng Police Department, Su Tianyu had just hung up the phone with Secretary Wang, then he stood up and left the lounge and returned to the meeting room.
At this moment, everyone in the conference room was tense, their eyes all on Su Tianyu, carefully sizing up his expression.
Su Tianyu sat down again, put his hands across his chest, and scanned everyone with his eyes: "You are all old men, loyal subjects. We have the throne, so we must have human touch. It's not that I won't give you privileges, but check your pockets and ask yourself, who has ever argued with the police in the past few years? But you have to have a sense of propriety in your heart!! What time is it now? The public opinion outside has become so chaotic, and you still dare to tip me off? Aren't you able to tell the difference between inside and outside? Do you only care about money?! Huh?!!"
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to respond.
Su Tianyu's voice was not loud, but very stern: "Starting from today, the National Bureau of Investigation will conduct a three-day internal audit of the Police Department! During this period, no one above the rank of Sergeant is allowed to leave the Police Department! Family members are not allowed to leave Longcheng. If they leave, they will be considered as fugitives!"
After saying that, Su Tianyu took Hou Guoyu and left the meeting room directly, leaving a group of people sitting on the chairs, looking at each other uneasily.
…
At the same time, in the compound of the garrison headquarters, in a building for cadres’ families.
Lu Guangwei stood in front of the window, gently pulled aside the curtains, and looked outside. There were soldiers patrolling downstairs, protecting the safety of the compound.
The mistress sat on the bed beside him, fiddling with her phone out of boredom. While browsing WeChat, she asked, "Is the company completely finished? There's still a lot of money in the account that hasn't been transferred out yet."
Lu Guangwei frowned and said, "Don't worry about the money. It's easy to find out. We have to find a way to escape."
"Ding Ling Ling!"
While the two were talking, Lu Guangwei's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and looked at it, his expression slightly relieved: "Hey, brother, I'm already at the camp."
"The situation is tense recently, so you should stay inside and don't go anywhere." Jiang Zheng warned on the phone: "During this period, no matter who contacts you, don't answer it."
"Brother, I always feel that something is not right about this." Lu Guangwei whispered, "This series of events is too weird! I was fine two days ago, how come it's like this in the blink of an eye? Even if Big Wang is dead, who exposed the matter of our warehouse? Why did a fire break out for no reason?"
"Someone will investigate this matter." Jiang Zheng said in a serious tone: "But this is not your concern, just stay here honestly. As long as you are in the barracks, no one can touch you, understand?"
Lu Guangwei gnashed his teeth and said, "I understand... Damn it, if I find out who is behind this, I will kill him..."
After the two hung up the phone, Lu Guangwei's expression became even gloomier.
…
Back in the car downstairs, Su Tianyu took out his cell phone and made a call directly: "Qiqi, help me make an appointment with Tan Mingchao, I want to talk to him."
An Qiqi reacted and asked on the phone: "Is it about Lu Guangwei?"
Su Tianyu nodded heavily: "Yes!"
An Qiqi didn't hesitate and said directly: "Okay, I'll make an appointment for you."
