official career

Zhang Jun was a little hesitant after hearing what Qin Feng said.

Of course he knew that Qin Feng was not asking about the case itself from the beginning, but Zhang Jun had his own concerns. He wanted to get in touch with Qin Feng, but he didn't want to really stand on the front line for Qin Feng to fight against Wang Jiahao and Liu Xiaoping.

That's why Zhang Jun focused on the case itself before, and now, Qin Feng obviously won't give him any chance to back down.

"It is obvious that no matter whether it is the case itself or the series of things done by Zhongyang Chemical Factory in Tai'an County, there are people behind the scenes who are deliberately covering up and protecting it. In other words, Li Yang has a protective umbrella in the Public Security Bureau." Zhang Jun finally told the truth.

Zhang Jun and Qin Feng knew exactly what was going on. The reason why he had to ask Zhang Jun was naturally to get Zhang Jun's attitude.

"Zhang Jun, let's not beat around the bush. I need you to secretly investigate Li Yang and Zhongyang Chemical Factory, especially the murder case and the crimes committed by Zhongyang Chemical Factory in Tai'an County."

"You are the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. Even if Wang Jiahao is behind this matter and you didn't directly intervene in these cases, it is impossible for you to be unaware of all this."

"Besides, whether it's the train station murder case or the crimes committed by Li Yang and Zhongyang Chemical Factory over the years, it's impossible to cover it up completely. As long as someone investigates it carefully, they will definitely find something."

"Nothing has happened in all these years simply because no one in the public security system dares to investigate, or those who want to touch these cases have already been dealt with."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun saw that Qin Feng had said it so bluntly, and knew that he had no way out. He looked at Qin Feng and asked, "Mayor Qin, is this your idea or Secretary Xie's?"

Qin Feng knew what Zhang Jun wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "Of course it was my idea. It was my idea to ask you to investigate the shantytown reconstruction last time, and it was also my idea to ask you to secretly investigate the Zhongyang Chemical Factory now. Secretary Xie didn't know about it."

"This..." Zhang Jun was suddenly in a dilemma. If this was not Xie Zhiguo's order, and Qin Feng alone asked him to fight against Wang Jiahao and Liu Xiaoping, wouldn't that be asking him to die?

Qin Feng saw Zhang Jun's concerns and said with a smile: "It doesn't really matter whether this is an order from Secretary Xie himself. What matters is the final outcome of this matter, don't you think?"

Zhang Jun nodded. He heard the subtext in Qin Feng's words. Even if it was an order given by Xie Zhiguo himself, Qin Feng could not say that it was Xie Zhiguo's order. He could only say that it was his, Qin Feng's intention. Once something went wrong, all the responsibility would be placed on Qin Feng personally. Zhang Jun, who had been in this circle for most of his life, naturally understood this.

"Is Mayor Qin planning to take direct action against Wang Jiahao and Liu Xiaoping? Wang Jiahao is definitely involved in this matter, and it is well known that Wang Jiahao and Liu Xiaoping have close ties with the foreign chemical factories."

"But Mayor Qin, you have to know that the Zhongyang Chemical Factory alone may not necessarily implicate Wang Jiahao, let alone bring down Liu Xiaoping." Zhang Jun also began to make his words clear.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in hiding it any further.

"Of course I know this. If it were so easy to overthrow Wang Jiahao and Liu Xiaoping, they would not have been able to sit in this position, let alone control such a large force in Xiquan." Qin Feng nodded.

"If that's the case, then why do you do this? I want to know the meaning of this." Zhang Jun was puzzled.

"I asked you to do this for a purpose. As for why, don't ask me." Qin Feng shook his head.

"Zhang Jun, I know what you are worried about. Indeed, Zhongyang Chemical Factory is a taboo for Liu Xiaoping. I don't know how deeply he is involved, but from the handling of the last incident of Zhongyang Chemical Factory polluting our Yi'an County, it can be seen that Liu Xiaoping has left many handles here at Zhongyang Chemical Factory."

"So, if you want to mobilize the foreign chemical factory, you will naturally hit Liu Xiaoping's lifeblood. For you, this is indeed a big risk."

"But you also have to understand that everything requires risk. There is no such good thing as pie falling from the sky just lying in bed. High risk often means high reward."

"I can't interfere with the internal affairs of your Public Security Bureau. I can't do anything. You can only rely on yourself."

"But I can make two promises to you. First, I can guarantee that the Municipal Party Committee supports and trusts you. Second, I can also guarantee to introduce you to Vice Governor Qi."

"You can go back and evaluate whether the effort and reward are equal and whether it is worth the risk. I have no intention of blackmailing or forcing you."

"For such a big matter, you naturally have to think carefully about it. I also hope that you can think things through clearly."

"Let's stop drinking here today. Give me your reply when you have thought it through." Qin Feng stood up and shook hands with Zhang Jun with a smile.

Qin Feng and Zhang Jun went straight home after dinner. After returning home, they were still alone, made a pot of tea, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking, and looking at the night view of Xiquan City outside the window.

He likes this feeling, because it allows him to calm down and sort out his thoughts and think things through.

The reason why Qin Feng went to see Zhang Jun today and made such a request to Zhang Jun was because Qin Feng got some inside information about the Municipal Party Committee from the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee two days ago.

Qin Feng is in close contact with Tang Yun, and he gets a lot of top-secret first-hand information within the Municipal Party Committee from Tang Yun.

Tang Yun told Qin Feng that Xie Zhiguo and Liu Xiaoping had a disagreement over the candidate for the Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau. Liu Xiaoping had a clear attitude and firmly disagreed with Chen Liming on the appointment of the Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

Moreover, the issue of shantytown reconstruction has not been resolved recently, and the entire project has been shelved. Just when Xie Zhiguo was about to nominate Chen Liming to be the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, trouble started to break out again in the shantytowns, and there were signs that the situation would continue to escalate.

Tang Yun didn't say it directly, but Qin Feng knew that Liu Xiaoping was using the shantytown renovation project to force Xie Zhiguo to give up his position as director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

Qin Feng wanted to move the Culture and Tourism Bureau, and Xie Zhiguo supported him. In terms of personnel, Liu Xiaoping was naturally not as strong as Xie Zhiguo. However, Liu Xiaoping used the shantytown reconstruction that Xie Zhiguo had pushed hard to seize Xie Zhiguo's weakness, and used this to threaten Xie Zhiguo and force him to give up the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

Qin Feng didn't know how Xie Zhiguo would make the final decision, but he knew that the issue of shantytown reconstruction must be resolved thoroughly, otherwise his situation would be very difficult and Xie Zhiguo would always be passive.
