official career

No matter what time it is, as long as the phone rings, Qin Feng will always stop what he is doing and answer it. Over the years, this has become a conditioned reflex, even during such strenuous exercise.

Under Zhang Yingying's resentful gaze, Qin Feng stopped and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table.

When Qin Feng saw that it was Tang Yun who called, he said to Zhang Yingying, "It's the Secretary-General who called. There must be something going on. I'll go answer the phone."

Regardless of whether Zhang Yingying was willing or not, Qin Feng took his cell phone and walked out to the living room, sat down, and answered the call while lighting a cigarette.

"Hey, Secretary General."

Tang Yun must have something important to call Qin Feng at this time, and it must be a big deal.

"I just got the news that Huang Jiancheng was taken away from his home by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection." Tang Yun went straight to the point.

"Huang Jiancheng?" Qin Feng also widened his eyes and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Tang Yun knew that Qin Feng would be shocked by the news and needed to digest it, so he didn't continue. After a pause, he said, "I just got the news too. Secretary Xie requested an emergency meeting because of this matter. I'm on my way to the Municipal Party Committee now, so I called you."

"Huang Jiancheng was suddenly taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? The Municipal Party Committee didn't make any move before that? You didn't get any news at all?" Qin Feng asked.

"No, this was a surprise attack. According to the call Secretary Xie just made to me, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection called Secretary Xie to inform him of the matter after taking Huang Jiancheng away from home. In short, the Municipal Party Committee was caught off guard this time." Tang Yun said.

Qin Feng took a long puff of his cigarette and continued to ask Tang Yun: "Is Huang Jiancheng implicated in other cases or is this a separate case?"

"I don't know. I just said that the Municipal Party Committee didn't give any advance information this time."

Qin Feng chatted with Tang Yun for a few more words, and then Tang Yun hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng sat on the sofa and smoked.

Zhang Yingying came out wearing a silk pajamas. Seeing Qin Feng sitting there smoking with a serious face, she asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen there again?"

"No, a leader from the city was taken away." Qin Feng answered Zhang Yingying perfunctorily.

"Will it implicate you?" Zhang Yingying was a little nervous.

"It has nothing to do with me. He and I are not the same kind of people." Zhang Yingying was an outsider, and Qin Feng could only speak to Zhang Yingying in words that an outsider could understand.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you looking so sad?"

Qin Feng smiled and patted Zhang Yingying on the butt: "Go to sleep, I have two more calls to make."

"Okay, I know I'm an outsider and don't understand the twists and turns in your circle, so since you're too lazy to tell me, I won't bother you anymore. You can come and sleep early."

"Okay!" Qin Feng watched Zhang Yingying walk into the bedroom with her hips twisted, and then his face became serious again.

Qin Feng lit up his second cigarette and continued to think about this matter, but he was in Beijing and knew very little information.

After taking a few puffs, Qin Feng took out his cell phone and called Hu Jiayun.

"I knew you would call me." Hu Jiayun said with a smile.

"Sister, are you handling this case?" Qin Feng was surprised.

"No, but I know about this case. I just found out about it not long ago, and I guessed that you would definitely call me to ask about the case."

"What's the matter with this case?" Qin Feng asked.

"I don't know. This is not a case I'm investigating, so in principle I have no way of knowing. I just heard that he was taken away for investigation, and I don't know anything else. I don't know much more than you do. If you really want to know the details, I'll try to ask for you after work tomorrow."

"That's not necessary. I just want to find out the nature of this case. Is Huang Jiancheng implicated in other cases or is the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection investigating him alone this time?" Qin Feng asked.

Hu Jiayun also thought about it and asked back, "You want to find out if someone is targeting Huang Jiancheng, right?"

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded.

"Then you can call Secretary Xie and ask him. He must know the inside story."

"Sister, I can't make this call from Secretary Xie. First, it's against the rules. Second, I'm in the full-time study stage now, so I shouldn't ask about these things. Third, Secretary Xie didn't tell me about these things, which means they have nothing to do with me. He didn't plan to tell me about these things. If I ask specifically, it would seem too ignorant. Fourth, there's no need for me to get involved in this kind of thing. I just want to clarify some circumstances."

"What you said makes sense. I think you should have some judgment in your mind, right?"

"Yes, judging from the information I learned from the secretary general of the municipal party committee and the way your provincial disciplinary committee is handling the case this time, I think it's targeting Huang Jiancheng."

"Huang Jiancheng was taken away from his home without any prior notice from the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee. It was very sudden."

"For such a big matter, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection didn't even inform the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee, but went straight to the house in the middle of the night and took away a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. Sister, can you analyze this for me?" Qin Feng asked for advice.

"I know what you want to know. Based on this information, I can give you a few points you want to know. First, Huang Jiancheng is doomed this time. The Discipline Inspection Commission did this, which means that they have secretly investigated him in the early stage and have obtained solid evidence of his illegal crimes, and the problem is not small."

"Secondly, there must be a senior leader in the province who personally took charge of this matter. Otherwise, our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would not have handled the matter so thoroughly. At least, they would not have gone to the house to arrest people, and they would not have failed to report it to the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee in advance."

"Thirdly, your Secretary Xie must have known about this in advance, but he just didn't say it." Hu Jiayun analyzed several points based on her experience.

Qin Feng chewed over Hu Jiayun's words carefully, and finally said leisurely: "That means Secretary Xie took action against Huang Jiancheng, and this time he asked the provincial leaders to do it."

"I don't know about that. I'm not very clear about the internal affairs of Xiquan. Let's put it this way. After work tomorrow, I will try to find out some specific information about this case."

"No need, sister. I just need to know your judgments. As for this case, it actually has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to know. After all, I am studying full-time now. I shouldn't get involved in these things, and I don't want to get involved." Qin Feng said with a smile.

The next morning, Qin Feng received several messages on his way to the Party School in the car driven by Zhang Yingying. Li Jianjun, Zhang Yuguang, Deng Yong and Peng Shenghui all sent Qin Feng a message with the same content: Huang Jiancheng had been taken away.

Qin Feng glanced at the messages, put away his phone and did not reply.

Everyone had a tacit understanding that reporting the news to Qin Feng only represented their attitude. In fact, they had already known in their hearts that Qin Feng must have already known the information that they knew.
