Rebirth of the Rising Sun

This really confused Liu Wenhua, because he really didn't know who of Song Dexiang and Ding Qiang lied to him. Ding Qiang wouldn't lie to him, and it wouldn't do him any good. Could it be that the problem was with Song Dexiang? But he was usually loyal and honest to him, and he had never lied to him?

After Liu Wenhua hung up the phone with Ding Qiang, he sat there trying to figure out what had happened.

At the same time, Wang Changhui, deputy secretary of Haibei City and secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, was also lost in thought like Liu Wenhua. Because just before leaving get off work in the afternoon, he suddenly received a document in the mail. The document did not indicate who sent it, but only a few large characters saying "Wang Changhui received it".

After opening the document, Wang Changhui was frightened, because this document was a complaint against Liu Changsong, the director of the Haibei City Finance Bureau. It listed all the mistakes Liu Changsong had made since he started working, and even recorded the details of many events in great detail, such as how much money he had received on a certain day of a certain month, what he had done for whom, how much money he had embezzled by taking advantage of his position on a certain day of a certain month, etc. In short, based on this document, Liu Changsong was doomed, not to mention his political future. It was not impossible for him to be sentenced to more than ten or twenty years in prison.

Who is Liu Changsong? He is a direct subordinate of Mayor Liu Wenhua. Recently, there are even rumors that this person may be appointed as the mayor's assistant, which means he will be a deputy department-level cadre. At this juncture, there are probably more people who want to kill him. Maybe they are competitors, or maybe they don't want to see Liu Changsong promoted to a higher position. Anyway, no matter who reported this, what he should do next is the most important thing.

I thought that if this person could deliver the document to me in this way, would he also deliver the document to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in the same way without me taking any action? If so, his work would be passive. He would be guilty of dereliction of duty if he read the case but did nothing.

Wang Changhui didn't want to defend Liu Changsong, so he decided to report the matter to his superiors. Of course, the superior he was referring to was Xiang Kang, the municipal party secretary. Mayor Liu Wenhua couldn't know about this anyway, otherwise he would definitely have an opinion of him, which was not what Wang Changhui wanted.

So, after work and after returning home to eat a meal, Wang Changhui hurried to the home of Xiang Kang, the municipal party secretary, who lived in the same courtyard.

Xiang Kang had just finished his meal and was watching the news at home. Wang Changhui's sudden visit made him realize that something must have happened, otherwise the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection would not come to his home for no reason. So he met Wang Changhui in his study and also saw the personal materials reporting Liu Changsong.

After picking up the document and reading it carefully, Xiang Kang's face turned serious. "Secretary Wang, how did you get this material?"

"Secretary Xiang, I delivered it to the duty room before I got off work. I looked at the packaging and it should have been sent by the whistleblower through the post office." Wang Changhui answered cautiously.

"Oh, it looks like this is an anonymous report." Xiang Kang nodded, "Then from Secretary Wang's professional perspective, how authentic is this material?"

Wang Changhui hesitated for a moment, and while looking at Xiang Kang's face, he answered, "Secretary Xiang, based on my long experience working in the Commission for Discipline Inspection, although it is anonymous, I feel that the authenticity of this material should be very high, because general reporting materials are nothing more than writing about what mistakes someone may have made, and most of them are based on speculation and conjecture. But it is rare to see such a complete and detailed material like this one. If you don't believe it, look here, here, and here, the specific time and amount are all written. This doesn't seem to be fabricated."

Wang Changhui's answer was equivalent to telling Xiang Kang that there was probably something wrong with Liu Changsong.

Xiang Kang is different from other secretaries in that he is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business. He only cares about the overall situation. On the contrary, he rarely interferes in the affairs of some departments. Because of this, he rarely interferes in the affairs of the Haibei Municipal Government. This makes the political situation in Haibei City very stable. Even though there are a large number of ethnic minorities here, the overall situation of Haibei City has not changed. Under such an environment, the mayor has the final say in the affairs of the municipal government team. In the long run, it is not uncommon for the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau to embezzle.

"Then Secretary Wang, if we follow the normal procedures, what should your Discipline Inspection Commission do now?" Although Xiang Kang agreed with Wang Changhui's statement, that is, Liu Changsong might be problematic, he did not want to be too high-profile before the matter was thoroughly clarified, and he did not want to have any friction with Liu Wenhua, which would be detrimental to the stability of the political situation in Haibei City. As the secretary of a city, the stability of a city is the most important thing, and Xiang Kang is very clear about this, so he had such a question.

Wang Changhui certainly knew what Secretary Xiang was thinking. To be honest, he also wanted to suppress the matter and then give it a cold treatment, and then ask someone to ask Liu Changsong later. However, the material was written in too much detail, so detailed that if the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection did not take any action, it would be dereliction of duty. In this case, he had to say something, at least to make his attitude clear. Of course, if Secretary Xiang insisted on suppressing the matter, then he would do so. If there were any problems in the future, Secretary Xiang would bear the consequences, and he would not be responsible.

"Well, Secretary Xiang, the situation is like this. Generally speaking, when we encounter such a thing, if the evidence is conclusive, we must find Comrade Liu Changsong for questioning, and then ask him to explain everything in the materials one by one." Wang Changhui whispered to Xiang Kang.

Xiang Kang did not expect that Wang Changhui, who had never been very principled, would have such a clear attitude this time. Even if he had just said that the matter still needed further investigation, he would have nodded in agreement and given the Discipline Inspection Commission time. But now that Wang Changhui did use certain words, it meant that the material was really true, so true that Wang Changhui had to deal with it, and he was also implicated.

Now that the incident was so clear, and even Wang Changhui had made a decision, Xiang Kang really had no idea what to say. "Okay, since the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has made this decision, I agree with you doing this. Just remember that all actions must comply with the work procedures of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. When you invite Comrade Liu Changsong, you must also enforce the law in a civilized manner. Do you understand?"

After listening to Wang Changhui's words, Xiang Kang already knew that this matter must have a result. Under such circumstances, he would never protect anyone, but he also had to be prepared to comfort Liu Wenhua.

So, that evening, Haibei City Finance Bureau Director Liu Changsong was suddenly taken away by several members of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in black suits while he was consuming in an entertainment venue. It is rumored that when Liu Changsong was taken away, he was wearing a Yupao and chatting with a lady with a good figure. When he was arrested, he also shouted loudly that he was the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau and asked those who came to take him away to be careful.

No matter what, the night that should have been peaceful in Haibei City was disturbed by this incident. Mayor Liu Wenhua, who was at home, immediately picked up the phone to question the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Wang Changhui after learning the news. What was going on? Why did they arrest his subordinates? He, as the mayor, had no idea about it at all. He demanded that Wang Changhui give him an explanation.

Wang Changhui explained to Liu Wenhua with some embarrassment that this was also an order given to the secretary. Moreover, someone reported Liu Changsong, and this was also to prove Liu Changsong's innocence. Their Discipline Inspection Commission had no choice but to do so. He hoped that Mayor Liu could understand the work of their Discipline Inspection Commission.

Hearing that Wang Changhui seemed to be getting nowhere, Liu Wenhua angrily called the municipal party secretary Xiang Kang and asked him whether he knew about this matter and why he had not told him in advance.

Xiang Kang was much more stable than Wang Changhui. He just said that the Discipline Inspection Commission had the power to handle cases independently. He had heard Wang Changhui's report on this matter and only instructed that everything should follow the procedures of the Discipline Inspection Commission. As for other things, he did not say anything.

Xiang Kang and Wang Changhui seemed to be blaming each other, which made Liu Wenhua feel helpless and didn't know who to call. At this time, he thought of his right-hand man Song Dexiang, so he called him on the phone, but the response he got was still that the phone was turned off, which made him feel bad more and more.

Liu Changsong, who was arrested and taken to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, slowly calmed down after putting on the clothes brought by the case officers. He knew very well in his heart whether he was innocent or not. He also knew that the fact that he was arrested proved that the Commission for Discipline Inspection must have some black materials on him. He knew even more clearly that this time he came to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, basically, his plan to be promoted half a level and enter the municipal government as the mayor's assistant would be ruined.

Liu Changsong was filled with resentment. Didn't Song Dexiang say that no one would do anything to him as long as he was there? So why was he taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection without hearing any news? What was the problem?

In the director's office of the Development Zone Management Committee building, Feng Sizhe was answering a call from Kyoto.

"Yes, I understand. Stability is the most important thing. Thank you Uncle Miao for the reminder." Feng Sizhe said respectfully.
