"Mr. Chen, I think this operation to arrest Lu Xiaotian should be handled by the Dujiang City Public Security Bureau."
"Um?"
Chen Guanyun looked puzzled, unaware of what Yao Jinsheng was rambling about.
Yao Jinsheng continued, "Mr. Chen, think about it—such a serious matter, and if we in Dujiang City do nothing, we will fall behind when it cos ti for publicity."
"It’s not fair for all the benefits to go to the leaders of Lingjiang while we can’t even get a taste of the soup, right?"
Chen Guanyun pondered deeply. He hadn’t thought so much about it last night; now that it was ntioned, it seed to make sense.
"Please, have a seat." Chen Guanyun picked up the handset and dialed Zhang ilin’s office number.
"Hello, Secretary Zhang, do you have a mont? I have sothing to discuss with you, great, I’ll wait for you in my office."
A mont later, Zhang ilin arrived and was surprised to see Yao Jinsheng there too.
He sat down, and Chen Guanyun shared Yao Jinsheng’s thoughts with him.
Zhang ilin hadn’t really considered these points, believing that as long as they could arrest Lu Xiaotian, it would suffice.
It didn’t matter to him who made the arrest.
Even if the Dujiang City Public Security Bureau wasn’t involved in the subsequent publicity, it didn’t matter.
After all, he was a new secretary and it wouldn’t affect him in the slightest.
But he had overlooked people like Chen Guanyun.
He might not care, but these people did.
"I will ntion this to the city."
Sohow, let Dujiang City be involved as well.
After the case concludes, include a ntion of Dujiang City in the reports and news.
Zhang ilin returned to his office and discreetly contacted Secretary Lu.
Secretary Lu had no objections, "I will speak with Director Qin, and then he will contact you."
About half an hour later, Director Qin called.
After basic communication was resolved, Zhang ilin called Yao Jinsheng and instructed him to go and interface directly with Director Qin.
After hanging up, Yao Jinsheng was secretly thrilled.
The first step was done!
He imdiately called Director Qin.
"Director Qin, I will co to the city later and et with you."
Director Qin was puzzled. It was a cooperative operation, and the specific arrest plan was still to be handled by their bureau.
What was there to talk about?
Despite his confusion, he didn’t refuse.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Yao Jinsheng arrived at the Municipal Bureau and t with Director Qin.
On the way there, he had already thought through his strategies.
As soon as he sat down, he asked, "Director Qin, have the people from the Ministry of Public Security arrived yet?"
"They’re coming this afternoon," Director Qin glanced at the clock. "They should be arriving soon."
Yao Jinsheng said, "Director Yao, I have so suggestions..."
"Stop." Director Qin raised his hand to interrupt, "When the colleagues from the Ministry of Public Security arrive, there will be a eting. Whatever suggestions you have, you can bring them up then."
"Also, I remind you that officially, it is our Lingjiang City Bureau that is in charge, but in reality, the Ministry of Public Security is supervising, and they have formulated all the arrest operations. Do you understand what I an?"
Externally, the propaganda centers around Lingjiang City, but the actual operations still follow the guidance from above.
The Ministry of Public Security might not care about these superficial honors, but they must ensure the arrest goes without error.
Yao Jinsheng paused, "Understood, understood."
He was a little nervous and sowhat panicked.
Things were not quite as he had imagined.
If it was Director Qin leading, his plan would definitely be in action.
Now that it had shifted to being led by the Ministry of Public Security, it was hard to say.
Director Qin always felt that Director Yao was acting strangely today, "Director Yao, don’t worry unnecessarily, the higher-ups aren’t planning to take action against you all."
Yao Jinsheng forced a smile, thinking to himself that for now they might not act, but sooner or later they would.
However, he said aloud, "I just want to salvage so dignity for Dujiang City. After all, it’s our local issue. Even if we handle it openly, it’s still embarrassing."
Director Qin nodded, "I understand, but who told you to be so lax in discipline? You could have kept a low profile and still co out ahead. Why be so greedy? Who else can you bla?"
"Yes, Director Qin, you are right."
Yao Jinsheng repeatedly agreed, thinking to himself, you bastard, when you were in Dujiang City, you were no less corrupt than . Where do you get the face to criticize ?
...
Four o’clock in the afternoon.
People from the Ministry of Public Security had co.
They kept a low profile, having inford Director Qin in advance that they would arrive this afternoon, but without specifying the flight details.
At the airport.
Song Guanchao had been waiting in the parking lot for a while.
He was now leaning back in his seat, pretending to sleep.
He had been traveling back and forth between Lingjiang and Dujiang these past few days and was short on sleep.
He was deeply asleep.
"Knock, knock."
Soone knocked on the window.
He opened his eyes and saw three n standing outside the car.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties with a crew cut, about five feet nine tall, exuding an air of authority.
The two n behind him looked to be in their late twenties, both taller than five feet eleven.
Pushing open the car door, Song Guanchao spread his arms and gave the man a bear hug.
"Mr. Jia, long ti no see."
"Boy, let go quickly."
Mr. Jia grimaced, rubbing his shoulder, "We’re all part of the system now, how co you’re still so strong?"
Mr. Jia introduced him to the two n behind him, "This is Song Guanchao, currently the secretary to Secretary Wu of Lingjiang City."
They had heard Mr. Jia ntion this Secretary Song before. Although not in detail, the implications made them realize that this Secretary Song might be the person who had assisted the Ministry of Public Security in cracking several major cases a few years ago, a person who couldn’t be ntioned publicly.
Such a person had always been a legend in their departnt, and seeing him in person today, the two policen dared not underestimate him or put on airs. They both extended their hands while slightly bowing, "Nice to et you, Secretary Song."
Song Guanchao shook hands with the two, smiling, "Not bad, Mr. Jia, your team is getting more and more capable. Get in the car, I’ll take you for sothing to eat first."
"Let’s get it straight first, I earn just a few thousand a month, I can’t afford anything fancy. We’ll get sothing simple just to fill our stomachs. If you mind, say it now."
Song Guanchao opened the car door and got in, speaking offhandedly.
Mr. Jia laughed, "Having sothing to eat is good enough, getting you to spend is a rarity."
Mr. Jia sat in the passenger seat, while the two young n sat upright in the back.
Song Guanchao glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Both of you, fasten your seat belts."
"Oh, okay."
They imdiately fastened their seat belts.
Mr. Jia wondered, "Really? Does Lingjiang enforce it this strictly? Even the backseat has to buckle up?"
Song Guanchao replied, "It’s Secretary Wu who’s strict. After taking office, Secretary Wu issued important instructions to many departnts in Lingjiang. Not to boast, but since Secretary Wu took office, car accidents in Lingjiang have decreased."
Mr. Jia gave him a strange look, "Are you claiming credit for Secretary Wu?"
Song Guanchao imdiately backtracked, chuckling, "It’s not claiming credit, these are real changes. But if you could ntion it to others, I wouldn’t mind."
Mr. Jia rolled his eyes, "Your Secretary Wu cos from a powerful family; she doesn’t need to promote her."
"The mighty family background is hers, but the transformation in Lingjiang is a manifestation of her personal capability."
"You little..."
Mr. Jia was about to say sothing else, but rembering the two people in the back, he held his tongue.
After dinner, Mr. Jia checked the ti and said, "There are still people at the bureau, right?"
"Yes."
"Then let’s go there for a eting," Mr. Jia said. "You might also give a heads-up about what exactly this case is all about."
