Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Listening to Feng Sizhe's explanation, Du Shengzheng burst into laughter. "Okay, very good, very good. Although it is not in line with the procedures, it is indeed the best way to do it when there is no other choice. How about this, you immediately notify the director of your land bureau to come to me to report on the work and tell him that it was my idea."

Du Shengzheng said this to cover up for Feng Sizhe. He did this to relieve Feng Sizhe's pressure. He privately detained the director of the Municipal Land Bureau. Although he said it was for work, it was inevitable that some people would hold on to this matter. For this reason, Du Shengzheng took the matter over. In this way, he let Wu Ziwen report to him as an excuse, and other people would not be able to say anything.

"Thank you, Governor Du." Feng Sizhe quickly understood what Du Shengzheng meant. He was grateful to him for helping him solve this most troublesome problem. This also made him more certain that it was the right reason to come to Du Shengzheng. "Oh, by the way, Governor Du, there is one more thing I don't know if I should say."

"Now that things have come to this, what else can't be said? Speak out." Du Shengzheng looked at Feng Sizhe and liked him more and more. Officials can respond to situations according to circumstances, which is much better than those city leaders who report everything and can't make any decisions themselves. If everyone can do their own things well, then the leaders will not be so busy, and the prosperity of the country will be a matter of course.

"Yes." Encouraged by Du Shengzheng, Feng Sizhe told his other purpose. "The situation is like this. I heard someone say that the reason why Mayor Liu Wenhua was able to contact the Provincial Japanese Overseas Chinese Business Council was because of Mr. Hua's relationship, so I am worried whether Mr. Hua knows about this matter. If so..."

Feng Sizhe didn't want to say anything more about what was to come, because he knew that what was to come could only be understood through intuition and could not be expressed clearly in words.

Sure enough, when this issue was brought up, Du Shengzheng's face changed. "Well, this is a problem. How about this? Go out and call the director of your city's land bureau and ask him to come to me. I'll take care of some official business first, and we'll meet later for other matters."

It was obvious that Du Sheng was calling Mr. Hua to consult about something. Feng Sizhe nodded quickly and left the office. He also had things he needed to do.

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

In a private room of Haibei City's Seaview Nightclub, Di Quan, Xu Liang and Tian Xiong Daguang did not find Wu Ziwen, director of the Municipal Land Bureau.

Seeing that everything in the room was very neat and clean, Xu Liang asked Xiang Diquan, "Secretary Di, what's going on? Didn't you say Director Wu would rest here? Why can't I see anyone here?"

"This..." Di Quan was also puzzled. He had clearly agreed that Wu Ziwen would rest here and return to the Land Bureau after receiving his call. But why couldn't he see him until now and he didn't even answer his phone calls? What on earth had happened?

Just at this moment, a waiter passed by the door of the box. When Di Quan saw the waiter, he quickly grabbed him and said, "I want to ask you, was there anyone resting here just now?"

"Ah? No. Just now a few of us waiters were chatting there and they said someone had booked this box, but no one has come yet." The waiter answered with a surprised look on his face.

"Asshole, you dare to lie to me." Upon hearing the waiter say this, Tian Xiong Daguang got angry and immediately reached out and grabbed Di Quan's collar, looking like he was ready to hit him at any time.

Upon seeing this, the waiter shouted "yeah", which soon attracted several big men to gather here. Then the door of the box was surrounded by people, and then a red-haired man appeared in front of Di Quan and others, "I say, who are you? You dare to cause trouble in the Seaview Nightclub and don't even ask where this place is."

"Hey, isn't this Brother Jia?" Xu Liang shouted as he saw the person coming.

The red-haired man was startled when he was called like that. Then when he saw who it was, he laughed and said, "Oh, it's Mr. Xu. Haha, what brought you here today? Really, you didn't even call me when you came so that I could make good arrangements for you."

It turns out that the red-haired man's name is Jia Wen. He is the younger brother of Jia Jun, the executive deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. This Haitian Nightclub is his place. Relying on his brother's relationship, he has been very successful in Haibei City. He has made a lot of money in the underworld over the years and has also made a name for himself. Xu Liang's father is the secretary of the Chenghai District Committee and a member of the Municipal Committee. It is normal for him to know Jia Wen.

"Haha, I came here today to do something." Hearing Jia Wen's polite voice, Xu Liang laughed.

"Oh, this is Mr. Tian Xiong, and Secretary General Di. I was wondering why you all came. Oh, that's great, it's so rare that all of you are here. So, I will be the host at noon, and I will make arrangements for you all. I guarantee you will be satisfied." Seeing that even the municipal government and the secretary general were here, Jia Wen was very happy, and acted like the host who was determined to treat everyone.

Jia Wen's brother Jia Jun does not hold a very high position, he is just a deputy director. It is not easy to invite Di Quan to come normally. When they met today, he naturally had to entertain him well.

Di Quan was having a headache at the moment and was in no mood to deal with Jia Wen. "Well, let's just forget about it today. I came here for something. Oh, by the way, Jia Wen, right? Let me ask you, have any guests been to this box?" Di Quan asked anxiously, pointing at the box.

"Huh?" Jia Wen was stunned by Di Quan's question. He then called the manager on duty to ask about this matter, but the answer was that Wu Ziwen did not come here and the place had been empty all the time.

Hearing that Wu Ziwen really didn't come, Tian Xiong Daguang got angry again, "Mr. Di, are you kidding us?"

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, wait a minute, I'm going to make a call." After struggling to get rid of Tian Xiong Daguang's arm, Di Quan took out his cell phone and called Wu Ziwen again.

This time, the call was connected, and to my delight, someone picked up the phone. "Is this Ziwen? This is Di Quan. Where are you?"

"Oh, Secretary Di, I'm on my way to the provincial capital now." Wu Ziwen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Why are you going to the provincial capital? Didn't I ask you to wait for me at the Seaview Nightclub?" Di Quan asked in confusion when he heard that Wu Ziwen went to the provincial capital.

"Hi, the Provincial Land Bureau asked me to report to them. I came here early in the morning. I just took a nap in the car. I didn't hear you calling me. I'm really sorry. How about this, I will report to you when I come back from the provincial capital. Is that okay with you?" Di Quan heard Wu Ziwen's explanation.

Wu Ziwen over there said this, of course, Chen Hu taught him. Chen Hu told him that Mayor Liu Wenhua was likely to fall, and also produced evidence of Wu Ziwen's bribery over the years. These were all things Chen Hu and his team had been doing in secret.

Faced with these evidences, Wu Ziwen, who was caught from his car, was immediately dumbfounded. He had originally gone to the Seaview Nightclub to avoid the limelight as Di Quan requested, but he did not expect that his car would be blocked by Chen Hu and his men soon after he drove out of the Municipal Land Bureau, and he was caught in another car. He was about to shout, but Chen Hu and his men took out these things. Looking at these evidences of the crimes he had committed since he became an official, he knew that he had no other choice but to listen to them. And just now, Feng Sizhe called Chen Hu to tell him that Governor Du wanted to meet Wu Ziwen, and now in order to stabilize Liu Wenhua and his men, Wu Ziwen's cooperation was needed.

So, the current conversation took place. Wu Ziwen answered Di Quan's call and said something like this so that he could avoid meeting the other party without arousing his suspicion.

Wu Ziwen's words were reasonable, at least Di Quan believed them now. "So that's how it is. Then when will you come back?"

"Oh, I'll go there and see the situation. So, I'll be back today at the earliest and tomorrow at the latest. What do you think?" Wu Ziwen didn't know how long it would take, so he opened his mouth and expressed uncertainty.

Hearing that Wu Ziwen was fine and nothing unexpected had happened, Di Quan felt relieved. Hearing that he would be back tomorrow at the latest, he said happily, "Well, then you should hurry up. You have to know that there are important things at home waiting for you to come back."

"Okay, don't worry, Secretary Di." Wu Ziwen answered readily on the other end.

Wu Ziwen finally got in touch, and Di Quan was relieved. He turned around and shouted to Tian Xiong Daguang, "How is it? I told you there will be no problem. This is just a small accident. He will be back tomorrow at the latest. Can you wait for a day?"

Now the money has been remitted, so we have to wait. Besides, now is not the time to quarrel with Di Quan, so Xu Liang smiled and said to Di Quan, "Okay, we will wait for one more day, just one more day." After saying that, he winked at Tian Xiong.

Tian Xiong Daguang also knew that he couldn't hit the opponent anymore, so he put down his arms in disappointment.

Seeing that the situation had returned to normal, Jia Wen, who was standing nearby, spoke again, "Haha, that's right, we are all friends, why bother? Come on, since there is nothing else to do, why don't you just stay here and have some fun. Hehe, to be honest, I just got a few pretty girls here, very hot, and I can serve you later. You guys can also give me some suggestions, hahaha."
