Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Zhong Ping had thought about joining Chang Ning, but as far as he knew, Chang Ning was a very honest official and hated evil. He couldn't even drink a sip of soup with such a leader, and it was obviously not suitable for Zhong Ping, who was used to spending his days in debauchery. For this reason, he turned his attention to the local forces in Yongyang City. He believed that as long as the local forces were willing to speak for him, the mayor who had just arrived would not be able to do anything to him.

He had no friendship with Qiu Fugui, the representative of Yongyang's local forces, and he didn't know whether the other party would accept his rash offer. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Song Changhe. As the secretary general of the municipal party committee, he had a good relationship with Cai Xingmin, who had just been promoted from the mayor to the secretary. If he could get in touch with Secretary Song, and Secretary Cai was willing to speak for him, Mayor Chang would not be able to do anything to him.

So he had a plan in mind, and it was at this time that Song Changhe called, so of course he had to go all out and flatter Secretary Song. For this reason, after receiving the call, he immediately called a few confidants and took two police cars to Song Jingang's location.

Although it is difficult to talk to the armed police, Zhong Ping believes that as long as the police come forward and say that Song Jingang's car is a police car, the armed police will not be able to do anything to him. After all, in peacetime, the armed police sometimes do not have as much power as the police.

Soon, the car approached the intersection of the national highway heading to Yongyang City, where Zhong Ping saw several cars stopped. He had seen Song Jingang last time in Wenxiang Garden and knew who Mr. Song was, so he ordered the driver to drive the car next to Song Jingang's car.

Song Jingang was looking forward to it, lamenting his own misfortunes, when suddenly he saw two police cars with sirens flashing driving up to his car. He was startled at the thought that it was the police from the Municipal Bureau coming to arrest him, and hurriedly he prepared to get back into the car and drive away.

"Haha, it's King Kong, right? I'm your Uncle Zhong." As soon as he saw Song King Kong, Zhong Ping got out of the car with a smile and walked towards him.

Upon hearing the tone and seeing that it was indeed Zhong Ping, Song Jingang breathed a sigh of relief. This person really must not do bad things, otherwise he would be scared to death by himself.

"It's Uncle Zhong, why are you here? Did my dad call you?" Song Jingang was a man who would jump on the opportunity if he saw one. Since Zhong Ping directly said that he was his uncle, there was nothing wrong with him calling him uncle. Besides, according to his age, he would not be at a disadvantage in calling him uncle.

Zhong Ping was very happy to hear Song Jingang calling him uncle, which proved that the relationship between the two would become closer. "Haha, what's wrong with you? Don't you have a special pass from the Municipal Party Committee in your car? Why can't you get through?"

"Hey, Uncle Zhong, it's because I have a special pass from the Municipal Party Committee that I didn't let these armed police check my car. In fact, there's nothing in the car, but if I let them check the car, it would be tantamount to losing face for the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee, so I can't do that." Song Jingang was finally guilty, and while he was speaking he didn't realize that he had already made a show of trying to cover up his sin.

Zhong Ping was also puzzled at first. Why didn't Song Jingang let the armed police check the car? If there was no problem, wouldn't it be enough to let them check it? After checking and finding nothing wrong, they would naturally let it go. Now after listening to Song Jingang's explanation, he realized that this matter involved the face of both the military and the government. No wonder Song Jingang did this.

In fact, Zhong Ping could understand Song Jingang's approach. He was trying to protect the face of the municipal party committee. Based on this, he should come forward to take care of this matter. "Well, Jingang's idea is very good. We must not let the army look down on us. It's not that easy for them to do whatever they want. Come on, leave this matter to me. I will talk to them."

Zhong Ping thought he had a clear understanding of the entire incident. If he had spies in Dahu County and knew what happened there, he probably would not have taken on so much responsibility and brought the disaster upon himself.

Zhong Ping relied on his position as the executive deputy director of the municipal bureau and walked up to the armed police in a very impressive manner. "Who is the leader here? Come out and talk to me. I am Zhong Ping, the executive deputy director of the Yongyang Municipal Public Security Bureau."

As soon as he said this, an officer with the rank of captain walked out from the opposite side and said, "Hello, I am the person in charge here. My surname is Jiang, and I am their company commander." Seeing that the other side had an executive deputy director come forward, Jiang quickly stood up.

"Oh, it's Captain Jiang. Haha, the situation is this. This car is our city public security bureau's field vehicle. There are some physical evidences that our public security department has just collected in the car. It can't be seen in public yet. So, can you please avoid the inspection and drive directly into the city? There is also a special pass issued by the Municipal Party Committee in the car. Do you want to take care of it as well?"

He was just a captain and a company commander. If he was transferred to a local job, he would be demoted to a deputy section chief. This deputy section chief was far inferior to himself. Unconsciously, Zhong Ping had a feeling of superiority.

I thought that after I said these words, Captain Jiang would let the car pass immediately if he knew what was going on. This would save everyone's day. But I didn't expect that although Captain Jiang pretended to listen carefully, he actually shook his head after hearing all this. "Director Zhong, I'm really sorry. We have received orders to strictly check all passing vehicles. Even the car of the municipal party secretary must stop for inspection. I can't do what you asked."

Captain Jiang replied to Zhong Ping, "You have your rules, but we have our orders."

"What? What do you mean? You even want to check our police car. Let me ask you, what mission are you carrying out? What do you want to check?" Zhong Ping got angry when he heard that the other party didn't give him face. He couldn't help but speak loudly because of this anger.

Facing Zhong Ping's questioning, Jiang was not angry at all. He just replied with eight big words, "Military secrets, no comment."

In fact, Captain Jiang didn't know what they were here to investigate this time. His mission was only to block a Cherokee sedan with a special pass from the Municipal Party Committee, and then find ways to make things difficult for the other party and let his backers stand up. Then, at the most appropriate opportunity, Political Commissar Jin would appear, and then he would have completed his mission.

The military naturally has its own independent system and way of doing things. A military secret is enough to make local people helpless. Listening to Captain Jiang's answer, Zhong Ping's face turned red and white, and he didn't know what to say.

"Uncle Zhong, what's going on? Don't they give you face?" When Song Jingang saw that Zhong Ping was pushed back by the army, he wanted to get angry with them, because Zhong Ping must not lose his temper at this time, otherwise things would be really bad.

Zhong Ping was already a little angry, and now that Song Jingang said this, he was even more upset. He immediately said angrily, "It's okay. The military has their secrets, and we police have our own rules. As long as I'm here, I won't let them touch the car."

Although Zhong Ping said this, he was not very confident. It was not for any other reason, but because he knew that if the police insisted on going against the army, the police would generally be the ones who suffered. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of numbers, they could never be the opponent.

Zhong Ping had no other options at this moment. He didn't know any officers from the Yongyang Military Sub-district. Even if he did, it would be useless unless he was the commander or political commissar of the military sub-district. The military was not as easy to talk to as the local government. They would always find some loopholes to exploit. The military was obviously much purer. Sometimes a company commander would only recognize his superior battalion commander. Even if the regiment commander or division commander of another army came, it might not work.

"King Kong, why don't you call your father and ask him to contact the commander or political commissar of Yongyang Military Sub-district? I think today's incident will be difficult to resolve unless they give the order." Zhong Ping thought about it and decided that the right thing to do would be to let Song Jingang call his father. The best he could do by himself was to prevent the other party from touching the car, but it would be difficult to get through smoothly.

"My father said that the commander of the military sub-district went to the Central Plains Military Region for a meeting. Political Commissar Jin is neither in the office nor at home, and we don't know where he is exactly." Song Jingang spread his hands, indicating that his father had tried his best, but obviously had not found a solution to the problem yet.

When Zhong Ping heard that the military chief was not at home, he was stunned. This seemed to be inconsistent with the military regulations. The military, like the local government, must have a chief on duty at all times. Since the commander was not at the military sub-district, the political commissar must be there. Otherwise, what should be done if there is any emergency? This principle is obvious.

Zhong Ping seemed to sense something was wrong, but before he could figure out what was going on, a car drove up from a distance, and Song Jingang shouted, "Haha, my dad is here."

Zhong Ping looked over and saw a car with a municipal party committee license plate coming towards him. As soon as the car stopped, Song Jingang opened the door and walked out.
