Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Huh? You call me uncle now. Xiao Guofeng is so grown up now, shouldn't you change your way of speaking? Of course, when there are other people around, you should still call me uncle." Hearing Feng Sizhe's address to him, Miao Yunfeng, Miao Zihan's father on the other end of the phone, was obviously a little angry and displeased.

"Hmm..." Feng Sizhe thought for a moment. He had robbed someone else's woman and couldn't even give him any evidence. He was just trying to change his words. It was a normal thing and a way of compensation. He blushed and said, "Thank you, Dad."

"Hahaha, that's right. Okay, you can figure out the specific situation yourself. It's just that the 9th National People's Congress is about to be held in Kyoto, and the whole country must focus on stabilizing the situation. Although our Haibei City is not very big, but because of the complexity of the political structure, any big movement at this time will still attract the attention of relevant people. In this case, it will be very unfavorable for your grandfather to join the Military Commission. So you must keep a low profile, and talk about everything after this period of time, understand?" Just because Feng Sizhe called him Dad, Miao Yunfeng had to tell the other party some things that he should pay attention to.

"Yes, I understand." Feng Sizhe said to Miao Yunfeng in a grateful tone.

After finally hanging up the phone, Feng Sizhe took out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes from the drawer, took out one and lit it, then called out to the door, and Chen Guangming came in to report on his work.

Chen Guangming has been following Feng Sizhe for some time, having followed Feng Sizhe since Qiu County, and has gradually figured out some of Feng Sizhe's habits. Seeing his leader smoking again, he knew that he was thinking about work, so he whispered to him some of the things that happened in the city he had just heard.

Feng Sizhe listened quietly without interrupting until Chen Guangming finished speaking and stood aside. Then he nodded and said, "Well, very good, Guangming, you did a great job on this matter."

The reason why Wang Changhui, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, received this anonymous report was actually the work of Chen Guangming. He obtained Liu Changsong's criminal evidence from Zhao Guangming, the current deputy director of the Finance Bureau, and then sent it to Wang Changhui by mail, which led to what happened tonight.

Chen Guangming was very happy to hear Feng Sizhe's praise. He said, "Boss, shouldn't we expand our victory and make the evidence against Liu Changsong public? Then we can catch Mayor Liu and bring him in as well?"

"There's no rush. Let's wait and see how this drama will go on." Feng Sizhe waved his hand because he knew that this was not the time to start a big fight. Seeing that there was a change in the central government, it would be better for him not to make trouble down there. It would not be too late for him to take action after the overall situation was settled. Moreover, he also wanted to see what Liu Wenhua would do next to resolve this crisis.

Feng Sizhe had no intention of killing all of them, which gave Liu Wenhua a chance to catch his breath. As soon as he got to work the next day, Liu Wenhua called Zhang Chunhua, Wang Fenglin, Li Yuan, Zhao Haofen and other deputy mayors who were ranked higher to start putting pressure on the municipal party committee. They asked the municipal discipline inspection commission to give an explanation as soon as possible, saying that if Liu Changsong had no problems, he should be released as soon as possible and not interfere with the normal work of the municipal government. Otherwise, if the municipal government did not make any progress in the economy, they could hold the municipal discipline inspection commission accountable.

Among the four deputy mayors, Zhao Haofen (female), who is in charge of the city's women's affairs, sports and tourism, did not see the executive deputy mayor Song Dexiang in Liu Wenhua's office, so she became curious. Unfortunately, she happened to meet Deputy Director Huang Song who was walking out of the municipal government office. Zhao Haofen smiled and said to him as a joke, "Hey, Director Huang, where are you going? Are you going to get water for Mayor Song again?"

Because the municipal government office has a secretary general, two deputy secretaries general, a director, and six deputy directors, under such a staffing, Huang Song actually has no specific work to be responsible for, so he often fetches water for the other deputy mayors. Now Zhao Haofen's words to Huang Song are reasonable.

"It's Mayor Zhao, hello. I also want to bring some water to Mayor Song, but no one answered when I knocked on the door just now." Huang Song answered Zhao Haofen's question with a smile.

"No one answered. Did Mayor Song go out, or did he not come to work because he was not feeling well?" Zhao Haofen asked again with a smile.

"Well..." Huang Song hesitated for a moment, then looked around and said nothing.

Huang Song had no idea how many times he had practiced this move, just to be able to imitate it more closely. This was the task assigned to him by Secretary Chen Guangming. Since he had listened to Chen Ping and chosen to follow Feng Sizhe, he had to fully cooperate with his work, and this was a work test for him.

Seeing that Huang Song seemed to know something, Zhao Haofen became more interested. "Don't worry, Director Huang, tell me what's going on. I won't tell anyone else." While speaking, Zhao Haofen also winked at Huang Song, as if she was trying to show her goodwill to him. But she didn't think about the fact that she was already in her forties, her youth was gone, and it was no longer the time to act cute.

But even though Zhao Haofen had aged like this, Huang Song still seemed attracted by his appearance and stood there stupidly without moving.

When Zhao Haofen saw that there was a way, she straightened her throat and said to Huang Song, "Director Huang, please come to my office. I have some documents that I need your help to copy." After that, she twisted her butt and walked towards her own office.

The reason why Zhao Haofen did this was, of course, to call Huang Song to her office to ask him about things clearly. After all, this was a corridor with many people around, so it was not very convenient to talk about anything.

Huang Song understood what Zhao Haofen meant and followed her into the deputy mayor's office. Then in this office, Huang Song said that Song Dexiang had gone to the provincial capital yesterday, but there has been no response since then. It is said that his cell phone is turned off, and even Mayor Liu can't find him.

It was unusual for an executive vice mayor to have his cell phone turned off, not to mention that he couldn't even contact the mayor. This made Zhao Haofen wonder if something was wrong. Did something happen to Song Dexiang? When she thought about the fact that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection arrested Liu Changsong overnight for questioning, she felt something was wrong.

Huang Song walked out of Zhao Haofen's deputy mayor's office with a smile on his face. He was very happy that he had completed another task assigned to him by Chen Guangming, which was to let other deputy mayors know the truth about Song Dexiang's disappearance. Of course, the truth was a little vague. To put it bluntly, it gave people more room to guess, and sometimes people's hearts would change when the space was large.

After a while, when Mayor Liu Wenhua asked several deputy mayors to accompany him to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Mayor Zhao Haofen took leave on the grounds that she had a sudden stomachache and suspected gynecological disease.

Liu Wenhua didn't take Zhao Haofen's change to heart, because the work Zhao Haofen was in charge of was not that important, and it didn't matter whether he went or not. In this way, he only took the other deputy mayors to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, he didn't know that from this moment on, another rumor started in the municipal government, that is, the executive deputy mayor Song Dexiang had been detained by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection because of his mistakes, and Liu Changsong was detained by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection just to respond to the work of the province. Of course, the initiator of this rumor was Deputy Mayor Zhao Haofen.

Because of Secretary Xiang Kang's words and because Liu Changsong's problem was indeed very obvious, this time the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Wang Changhui did not express any opinion to Liu Wenhua and several deputy mayors of the municipal government on the spot. He only said that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection would work as quickly as possible to get to the bottom of the matter.

Although Liu Wenhua was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Changhui's answer, he could not say much. Just as Secretary Xiang Kang had said, the Discipline Inspection Commission had the power to handle cases independently, and he, as the mayor, had no right to interfere.

Liu Wenhua had no choice but to leave the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection with a lot of anger. This scene was indeed seen by Liu Changsong who was imprisoned here. The staff of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection standing next to Liu Changsong said to him, "Did you see that? Even the mayor can't protect you. What illusions do you still have?"

Because Liu Changsong was protected by Mayor Liu Wenhua and Vice Mayor Song Dexiang, he had always looked down on other cadres, especially the staff of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He did not even look at them in the eye. Now that he had fallen into their hands, he deserved to admit his bad luck. What's more, these investigators were also willing to handle a case to improve their political achievements.

Seeing Liu Wenhua and the others walking back like this, Liu Changsong, standing in front of the window, felt that there was darkness in front of him. At this moment, he suddenly wondered if he should confess all the problems. Maybe he could get a lenient result. But would Liu Wenhua really fall down like this? Should he still hold on to a glimmer of hope in his heart?

After Liu Wenhua returned to his office, Di Quan, the secretary general of the municipal government office, came over to report to him. "Mayor, the news about the disappearance of Vice Mayor Song has spread all over the municipal government building. They are saying all kinds of things."

"What did they say?" Hearing that Liu Changsong's problem had not been solved yet, and then the Song Dexiang problem came up, Liu Wenhua felt more and more headache.
