Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Ah? Really? That's great. Boo." Upon hearing that her brother could be directly promoted to deputy mayor, even though he was not a member of the municipal party committee, he was still a deputy department-level cadre, Bei Lianxiang happily kissed Ruan Guiben.

"Haha, okay, come again, come again." Ruan Guiben was not satisfied after being kissed, and wanted Bei Lianxiang to come a second time.

Bei Lianxiang blushed and opened her mouth again, ready to kiss him a second time. However, before she could do anything, the annoying phone rang.

Seeing that it was the phone on the desk that rang, Ruan Guiben smiled at Bei Lianxiang, then picked up the phone and said, "This is Ruan Guiben."

"Secretary Ruan, this is Zhu Jinkui. I just went to the Municipal People's Congress to read out the decision of the Municipal Party Committee, but Director Sun said that he was not feeling well today and we will talk about it tomorrow if there is anything. What do you think..." The somewhat anxious voice of Zhu Jinkui, Secretary of the Huabei District Party Committee, came from the other end of the phone.

"What?" Hearing that the Municipal People's Congress did not hold a meeting in time to deal with Feng Sizhe's problem, Ruan Guiben couldn't help but get angry. "What's going on? Have you found out whether Old Sun is really sick?"

"I asked around, and found out that he is not sick at all. Someone saw him practicing Tai Chi in the morning. I think he just doesn't want to discuss Feng Sizhe's matter and just wants to delay it." Zhu Jinkui said as if he knew the truth of the matter very well.

"Duo, what is he waiting for?" Ruan Guiben asked in confusion.

"What else can we wait for? Of course, we are waiting for Secretary Xia to come back. You know, Xia Xiang is the matchmaker for his daughter and the municipal government's secretary-general Niu Ben. I guess Secretary Xia must have known about the municipal party committee meeting and informed him over the phone, so he delayed working on the pretext of being unwell." Zhu Jinkui thought about the matter carefully before making the call. He felt that this should be the case, so when Ruan Guiben asked, he told him one by one.

"That's right." After Zhu Jinkui's reminder, Ruan Guiben also remembered the relationship between Director Sun and Secretary Xia.

The Municipal People's Congress suddenly did not follow the normal procedures. Ruan Guiben had not expected this before, but it didn't matter. Since it happened, it should be resolved. "Okay, Secretary Zhu, I know about this matter. Next, you just need to submit the decision of the Municipal Party Committee meeting to the People's Congress. You can do other things. I will handle the rest."

Ruan Guiben was thinking that since Xia Xiang could call Director Sun, why couldn't I find someone to say hello to Director Sun? Thinking this way, Ruan Guiben quickly moved Bei Lianxiang away from his thigh, then straightened his clothes and said, "I want to go home and see the old man. Maybe he is the only one who can make Director Sun give him face at this time."

When she heard that Ruan Guiben was going home to see his father, Bei Lianxiang quickly helped him to tidy up his clothes. "Well, it's good to go back and look for your father. I believe that as long as Mr. Ruan is willing to call Director Sun, Secretary Xia's face can be put aside."

"Yeah." Ruan Guiben nodded seriously. He thought that it had been a while since he last visited his father, so today was an opportunity.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Xia Xiang came to Master Hua in a hurry. After learning from him, his belief became more firm. He then took a car and rushed to the provincial party committee.

Mr. Hua said that he didn't believe Feng Sizhe would be an official who demanded a bribe of 300,000 yuan. This can be seen from many aspects. When he was running the Haitian Economic Development Zone in Haibei City, the accounts that passed through his hands were more than billions, but when someone checked his accounts later, they didn't find a penny. In a wealthy city like Haibei City, he had never been seen to embezzle anything. Would he go to Lianhua City and be tempted for 300,000 yuan? Besides, the police arrived so promptly, it was obvious that someone had arranged it in advance, so this must be a false accusation.

After saying these words, Mr. Hua also asked Xia Xiang to uphold the truth and not let such a good cadre be framed. He must uphold justice. At the same time, he would call Governor Du Shengzheng and ask him to inquire about the matter and even speak out when necessary.

With the support of Mr. Hua, Xia Xiang felt more at ease. After leaving Mr. Hua's house, he even called Minister Yao Dejiang of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department according to the old man's wishes and told him about the difficulties Feng Sizhe was facing in Lianhua City.

Mr. Hua said that Yao Dejiang supported Feng Sizhe, and as long as he was called to tell him the situation, he would definitely intervene. This also saved him from such a huge pressure.

So, Xia Xiang called Yao Dejiang according to Mr. Hua's instructions. Unfortunately, Minister Yao went to Kyoto to study and was not at home. Fortunately, the call was passed on to Deputy Minister Sun Zhengtao.

When Sun Zhengtao heard that something like this had happened in Lianhua City, and that it involved Feng Sizhe, he immediately asked about it in detail. Then he said to Xia Xiang on the phone, "Secretary Xia, regardless of our positions, I personally trust Comrade Feng Sizhe very much. I don't believe that he would ask for a bribe of 300,000 yuan from a businessman, so there must be something behind this matter. I hope that as the parent official of Lianhua City, you must handle this matter carefully. We cannot arbitrarily wrongly accuse a good comrade. At the same time, I will report this matter to Minister Yao immediately."

"Okay, Minister Sun, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely argue for my rights." Hearing that Sun Zhengtao also had the same opinion, Xia Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. With so many people supporting Feng Sizhe, he was not alone, which further strengthened his determination to win.

After a while, they finally arrived at the office of Yu Zhengda, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee. When Yu Zhengda's secretary heard that it was Xia Xiang, he immediately invited him to come over.

Yu Zhengda seemed to be sitting there waiting for Xia Xiang. When he saw him coming, he stood up and said, "Okay, you don't have to say anything. Secretary Ping already knows about the situation in your Lianhua City. He also wants to know about it. I think we should go there and report together."

When Xia Xiang heard Yu Zhengda say that the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Ping Guowang also attached great importance to this matter, his heart skipped a beat. He knew from his investigation that Ping Guowang was one of the leading figures in the crackdown on Feng Sizhe. Would it be okay to go there to report on his work now?

But he had to listen to his superiors, so he had to bite the bullet and follow Yu Zhengda to Ping Guowang's office.

When he entered Pingguo Wang's office, he was on the phone. He motioned Yu Zhengda and Xia Xiang to sit down first, and then he said "yes" several times on the phone before hanging up the phone and looking at Xia Xiang with a smile on his face, "Comrade Xia Xiang, thank you for your hard work. I have heard about the personal problems of Feng Sizhe in Lianhua City. Now please tell me the details."

Xia Xiang had been paying close attention to the phone Ping Guowang had called since he entered the room. He discovered that it was a red Kyoto-only line, which meant that Ping Guowang was probably talking to a leader or even a chief in Kyoto. This was clear from his repeated yes-yes-yes responses. Could it be that Ping Guowang had already reported Feng Sizhe's problem to Kyoto? If so, with someone in Kyoto interfering in the matter, things would be difficult to handle.

"Comrade Xia Xiang, Secretary Ping asked you to report the situation." Seeing that Xia Xiang seemed to be distracted, Yu Zhengda on the side reminded him.

"Oh." After being reminded by Yu Zhengda, Xia Xiang came back to his senses, then reached out and took out a document from his briefcase. While handing a copy to Ping Guowang and Yu Zhengda respectively, he began to recount what happened in Room 301 of Lotus Hotel in Lotus City yesterday.

When Xia Xiang mentioned that the Public Security Bureau had blocked Feng Sizhe, his secretary Chen Guangming, and businessman Fu Di at the door of Room 301, Yu Zhengda interrupted, "This is an obvious capture of the criminals. I think this case can be closed."

Xia Xiang was naturally confused about Yu Zhengda's decisive decision on the case. He really couldn't understand how the provincial party committee's secretary of the Political and Legal Committee could handle the case so arbitrarily. So he said, "It's not enough to decide the case based on this alone. Later, according to Comrade Feng Sizhe, he didn't know Fu Di was in the room in advance. He went there only after receiving an anonymous call."

"Oh, an anonymous call. I wonder if this call really happened or is it just his one-sided statement? This is his way of exonerating himself." Yu Zhengda raised questions after listening to Xia Xiang's explanation.

Xia Xiang wanted to explain that he heard the call next to Feng Sizhe, but before he could say anything, Ping Guowang said, "Yes, I just read the materials you brought, and it said that according to the records of your city's communications bureau, there were no call records on Feng Sizhe's phone during this period."

Ping Guowang also had the same opinion, which made Xia Xiang feel what these two people were thinking. It was obvious that these two people wanted to take the opportunity to kill Feng Sizhe. So he had better keep a hand on this kind of person. He still kept it to himself and did not tell others that he was present when Feng Sizhe answered the phone. Instead, he talked about other things. "We also asked the businessman Fu Di about this matter later. He also said that he came to Room 301 because he received a call similar to that of Comrade Chen Guangming. He did not receive a call from Comrade Feng Sizhe himself."

"That's natural. Feng Sizhe might call a businessman directly. It's normal to let his secretary do this." Yu Zhengda obviously disagreed with Xia Xiang's explanation. In his opinion, all these things could not prove that Comrade Feng Sizhe had no problems.
