After finishing with Bao Shanshan, Chen Bin sat in the chair for a long ti to rest.
Finally, he picked up the landline and called Gong Shanhai, the director of the city public security bureau.
"Co to my office; I have sothing to discuss with you."
Not long after, Gong Shanhai knocked on the door and walked in.
"Secretary Chen, what can I do for you?"
He was surprised by Chen Bin's call.
The two usually had little interaction. Not only had Chen Bin called him, but he had also asked him to co to the office.
It seed like the matter involved was not insignificant.
Chen Bin gestured for him to sit and asked, "How many years have you been the deputy mayor and director of public security bureau?"
"I've been the director for nearly five years and the deputy mayor for less than three."
"It's been so many years, don't you plan on moving up?"
The words slightly surprised Gong Shanhai, "Secretary Chen, are you planning to promote ?"
"Yes, the committee's political and legal secretary will retire next year, and I want you to take his position. But whether you can grasp the opportunity depends on you."
"I don't know what Secretary Chen wants to do."
"With the New Year approaching, I think it's necessary to conduct a city-wide security inspection. If you can achieve sothing, it will be a chance for your promotion."
Upon hearing this, Gong Shanhai felt a "thud" in his heart, but his face remained calm.
"Okay, I'll imdiately gather the bureau leadership to deploy as per Secretary Chen's instructions for a thorough security inspection."
Slightly nodding, Chen Bin spoke aningfully.
"Opportunities to climb up are not always available; I hope you don't disappoint ."
"Thank you, Secretary Chen, I understand."
The mont he left the office, Gong Shanhai's forehead was covered in sweat.
He never expected that Chen Bin wanted to deal with him!
Gong Shanhai knew that Chen Bin didn't really want to promote him.
After all, he was closely related to Min Tenghai, and the security inspection essentially ant investigating the Tianhe Leisure Group.
If they found sothing, it would be fine, but if not, he might not only lose the chance to be the political and legal secretary but also be unable to continue as the public security director.
Back at the city public security bureau, Gong Shanhai paced back and forth in his office.
After a long ti, he called his wife.
"Hurry up and pack, buy tickets to the Beautiful Country, we leave tonight. No excuses, hurry!"
Imdiately after, Gong Shanhai contacted Min Tenghai.
"et at the usual place at noon; I have sothing to tell you."
At noon, when he arrived at the restaurant's private room, Min Tenghai had been waiting for a while.
"Director Gong, is sothing wrong?"
Min Tenghai had interacted with Gong Shanhai for years; the latter had never contacted him actively.
Moreover, he asked for a lunch eting, this unusual behavior made him very uneasy.
Without wasting words, Gong Shanhai spoke coldly.
"Nothing has happened yet, but it's close."
Min Tenghai imdiately beca tense and asked, "What's going on?"
"Chen Bin asked to gather manpower to conduct a security inspection of all entertainnt venues in the city. He explicitly instructed that sothing must be found."
Having been in business for many years, Min Tenghai instantly understood the implication.
His face gradually turned a bit grave, "This is clearly aid at ."
"So what do you plan to do?"
"You definitely have to help; we are in this together."
Since offending Chen Bin, Min Tenghai had often been suppressed.
His most profitable assets were entertainnt venues.
If they continued to be suppressed, he would lose nearly half of his inco.
So no matter what, Min Tenghai had to choose to protect them.
With a sigh, Gong Shanhai's face looked troubled.
"After all these years, I don't want to deceive you. Chen Bin's actions aren't just aid at you; he actually wants to take down too."
"We can't just attack each other! I'm in a tough spot right now; you can't kick while I'm down."
After a long silence, Gong Shanhai looked increasingly troubled.
"I can help you, but right now I'm spread too thin, barely managing myself."
"What's wrong?"
"My son is studying in the Beautiful Country and got into a fight that landed soone in the hospital. If I don't pay compensation, he might face a ten-year sentence. What should I do?"
Instantly understanding the implication, Min Tenghai quickly answered.
"With our close relationship, just call when sothing happens. How much are you short on? I can help."
Gong Shanhai waved his hand, appearing a bit embarrassed.
"Maybe it's better to forget it. I've taken quite a lot from you already. I can't keep coming to you for everything."
"Don't say that. How about this: consider it a loan from , okay? Just tell , how much are you short by?"
Gong Shanhai didn't say another word but slowly raised five fingers.
"Five million?"
"Fifty million!"
Frowning deeply, Min Tenghai showed a hint of displeasure.
He could indeed gather fifty million, but he wanted a long-term relationship with Gong Shanhai.
Giving so much at once made him sowhat hesitant.
Just as Min Tenghai was hesitating, Gong Shanhai's voice sounded again.
"I do realize fifty million is no small amount. If you can't, forget it; I'll try to find another way."
"To be honest, since Chen Bin started suppressing , business has been tough. But since it's for my nephew, I can't sit back and do nothing. Give your account number, I'll transfer it before evening."
Nodding forcefully, Gong Shanhai was full of gratitude.
"Tenghai, thank you so much."
"With our relationship, why thank ?"
"Good, with your word, I'll say this: even if I lose my hat, I'll protect you."
After lunch, returning to the city public security bureau, Gong Shanhai soon received a call from his wife.
She said everything was packed, and the flight was at 9:30 PM, but it required a transfer in the Imperial Capital.
With a sigh, Gong Shanhai felt much relieved.
He imdiately gathered the city public security bureau's leadership, conveying Chen Bin's instructions.
And he stated that within the next month, they must fight this security inspection battle well.
By evening, a text ssage arrived, confirming the fifty million had been fully transferred.
After driving his wife to the airport, Gong Shanhai handed her a bank card.
"Here's fifty million; the password is our son's birthday. Once you arrive in the Beautiful Country, deposit it into our son's account imdiately."
Taking the card, Gong Shanhai's wife had a very serious expression.
"Honey, what do you an? Aren't you coming with ?"
Shaking his head, Gong Shanhai replied in a deep voice.
"No, I have so matters to handle. In at most half a month, once I've settled everything here, I'll co to the Beautiful Country to find you and our son..."
