Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Okay, uncle, I've got it. Just send someone from Kyoto later. I'll wait for him and hand him the photo in person." Feng Sizhe knew that the identities of talented agents like him were kept extremely confidential. If he wasn't Zhao Wangang's nephew, even if a minister-level figure was involved in this matter, he might not be able to invite such a big shot.

After hanging up the phone with his uncle, Feng Sizhe felt much calmer. He greeted Li Shuang and Chen Guangming, and now he was just waiting to return to Qiu County to meet Lu Zhuo, so that he could know the truth of the matter. As long as he found that woman, everything would be clear.

Dahu County was already in chaos at this moment. The secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Lü Zhuo, was suddenly taken away by people from the County Public Security Bureau while in the bath. This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking many people who were thinking of getting close to the Feng-Lü faction. Even some people who wanted to get close to the Feng faction stopped in their tracks. They also wanted to go and see what this matter was all about. Was it really because Lü Zhuo made a mistake when he was young, or was it because he offended someone? If it was the latter, then they would really have to think about it carefully. A dignified member of the county party committee and the fourth-ranked secretary of the county commission for discipline inspection was no match for some people. How dare they, who were section or deputy section chiefs, or even just section-level people, become enemies of others?

When Feng Sizhe returned to Qiu County by car, at the intersection entering Qiu County, Luo Bing was walking back and forth restlessly beside a parked bicycle.

She was the first to know about Lu Zhuo's accident, and she called Chen Guangming to tell him. Then she came straight to the intersection and waited for Feng Sizhe to come back. Even though she was a girl, she could deeply feel the change in the hearts of the people in the county committee. If she walked out of the county committee as usual, all the cadres she met would nod and greet her. But today, everyone who knew the news kept silent to her and stayed away from her, as if they were avoiding the plague god. This made her see the world and the people's hearts.

Finally, Feng Sizhe arrived. Upon seeing this county party secretary who was younger than herself, Luo Bing couldn't stop her tears from flowing out. "Secretary Feng, Secretary Lu..."

"Okay, Director Luo, don't panic, come to my car first." Seeing Luo Bing's face full of tears, Feng Sizhe could feel her pain. It was really painful for a girl to go through such a thing. Having experienced some things in Dahu County, he could even imagine that everyone was looking at the people of Feng and Lu factions now. As one of the representatives of Feng faction in Qiu County, Luo Bing must have been looked down upon. She was surprised that she could accept this sudden change.

After welcoming Luo Bing into the car, Feng Sizhe took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to her, then slowly asked, "What exactly is going on? Tell me about it."

"Secretary Feng, the situation is like this. Zhang Minyou, the current political commissar of the Qiu County Public Security Bureau, was once taken care of by my father, so he often kept in touch with my family. Recently, after I became the deputy director of the county party committee office, our contact has become closer. It was he who called to inform me that Secretary Lu was arrested in the bathroom, but I don't know the specific circumstances, or even why, and I am still in the dark. I just felt that the matter was serious, so I called Secretary Chen." Luo Bing told Feng Sizhe how he learned the news.

So that's how it is. I never thought that Luo Bing actually has such a friend in the County Public Security Bureau, the political commissar of the Public Security Bureau, who is as important as the director. Thinking that Luo Bing's father made a lot of friends when he was the deputy county magistrate, he couldn't help but feel very relieved. Feng Sizhe has been thinking about how to start with the iron-clad County Public Security Bureau, but he has never found a suitable breakthrough. Now, with this political commissar, I am afraid that many things will be much easier in the future.

Feng Sizhe was lost in thought about Zhang Minyou, the political commissar of the Public Security Bureau, but Luo Bing beside him didn't know what her leader was thinking. Seeing Feng Sizhe's dazed look, she couldn't help but said anxiously, "Secretary Feng, you should think about what to do. The situation in Qiu County has just improved, and the New Year is coming soon. More and more upright cadres have come to us, but now this has suddenly happened. It's conceivable that many people will stop, and some will even change their minds. You should think of a good solution quickly."

Luo Bing's shouting brought Feng Sizhe back to reality from his deep thoughts. "It's okay, Director Luo. Secretary Lu is a member of the county party committee and the secretary of the discipline inspection commission. The county public security bureau won't dare to do anything to him with their information. What we need to do now is to stay calm and not panic. First, understand the situation clearly, and then think of a solution. Li Shuang, go directly to the county public security bureau."

Unlike Luo Bing who was crying, several people in the office of County Magistrate Fan Yuegang were laughing loudly, it was a joyful scene.

"Old Lu, you handled this matter very well. You have evidence and evidence, and it's such a shameful thing. I wonder how Lu Zhuo can jump around and go against us." Patting Lu Keyuan on the shoulder, Fan Yuegang said excitedly.

"Yes, Secretary Lu is really powerful. If he doesn't take action, he will definitely hit the opponent's weak spot and make him unable to recover. I just don't know where the woman involved in the case has gone. She is a key evidence. If someone finds her, there will inevitably be some trouble." Jiang Daquan, the Organization Department of Qiu County, happened to be in the county magistrate's office. At this moment, when he heard what Fan Yuegang said, he understood that all these things should be done by Lu Keyuan, so he also complimented Deputy Secretary Lu, but in the end he still expressed his concerns about the matter.

Lu Keyuan was originally very happy, but when he heard Jiang Daquan say this, his brows furrowed, and then he said with a somewhat uneasy heart, "I don't know where that woman has gone. We had agreed to meet again because I hadn't done everything I promised her, but I didn't expect that she didn't show up at the agreed place, and now I can't find her."

"What? Can't find it?" Upon hearing that the person couldn't be found, a trace of anxiety appeared on Fan Yuegang's face.

"That's right, the person is missing, but according to my estimation, it doesn't matter even if she is missing, because in my opinion, this woman is so smart that she doesn't want to meet me. She is just afraid that I will harm her and silence her. Since she can think of this, it means she is smart enough. In this situation, she will definitely choose to run away. As a result, we can't find her, and it will be even more difficult for others to find her. As long as it takes a while, Lu Zhuo's matter will be resolved. Then she will not seem so important, and who will remember this woman?" Lu Keyuan had his own analysis. At first, he was a little anxious when he couldn't find Xiaoyu, but then he thought, what a smart woman she is, if that's the case, it will be even more difficult for others to find her, so he felt relieved.

After listening to Luke Yuan's explanation, Fan Yuegang nodded as if relieved. "Oh, so that's how it is. Then what do we have to worry about?"

"Yes, there is nothing to worry about. I think what we need to do now is to cut through the Gordian knot and settle the matter of Lu Zhuo first. Minister Jiang also needs to quickly formulate a plan to adjust the cadres and move those cadres who are close to Lu from the front desk to the backstage. This is a great opportunity. We must take advantage of this moment to reverse the passive situation we were in a while ago." Lu Keyuan had already thought about what to do next after Lu Zhuo was put in police station, so today he specially called Jiang Daquan to the county magistrate's office to discuss the matter.

"Okay, then I don't know who the pro-Feng cadres are this time. Should we catch them all in one fell swoop?" Jiang Daquan nodded, indicating that he understood Lu Keyuan's meaning. He was just wondering whether he could expand the results of the battle and take action against Feng's people as well, so as to avoid future troubles.

"No, we must not touch the cadres of the Feng faction at this time. We cannot provoke Feng Sizhe at this time. After all, he is still the county party committee secretary and has absolute power over personnel. It is not a wise thing to provoke him at this time. Of course, the Feng faction must be touched. I also believe that after experiencing this incident, many cadres who have such ideas will stop and think carefully. Now our main focus is to completely take down Lu Zhuo and give a warning to all those who have other ideas. Then, after finding the right opportunity, we will take down Feng Sizhe in one fell swoop, and then Qiu County will return to normal." Lu Keyuan thought very clearly that it was not easy to make too many enemies at this time.

After hearing this, Fan Yuegang nodded continuously, "Secretary Lu is right. It is better not to provoke Feng Sizhe at this time. After all, he has not made any mistakes. After all, as long as we take down Lu Zhuo, Feng Sizhe will not be able to survive for a few days. It will only be a matter of time for us."

"I understand." After hearing the county magistrate and the deputy secretary's statement, Jiang Daquan nodded to show that he understood. "Then I will go back to the office to sort out the materials for the personnel investigation. As soon as I finish this, we can hold a standing committee meeting to discuss and decide on this matter."
