Personal security

Chapter 84: Head-on Confrontation

The next morning when he went to work, Zhao Jianhui was in high spirits, but poor Yang Dandan covered her mouth with her hands and yawned constantly. Secretary Zhao had called him to draft a pile of documents overnight last night, and he almost fell asleep when he sat down in the office. He called Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Weixi and asked him to notify all the Standing Committee members to hold a meeting at 8:30. He looked at the woman in the small mirror and saw that her eyes were slightly dark. He couldn't help but mutter a few words in a low voice, which was nothing more than scolding someone for being cruel.

At exactly 8:30, Zhao Jianhui, who walked into the conference room on the second hand, put the notebook in his hand heavily on the conference table. Everyone who had already sat down couldn't help but feel a little nervous, wondering who had offended this rookie secretary?

Ever since Zhao Jianhui handled the case in Linhai County, the nickname of rookie has almost taken root in the hearts of Zhu Jianguo and other Standing Committee members. Today, except for Hao Nanping who did not attend the meeting, all the other Standing Committee members came. Tao Yuhong, Chairman of the National People's Congress, Zhuang Qingshan, Chairman of the CPPCC, Li Weimin, Secretary General of the Government, Shen Zhongxing, Director of the Public Security Bureau, and Lin Yan, Deputy Director of the Party Committee Office and Chief of the Comprehensive Section, sat in the back row and attended the meeting.

Zhao Jianhui's eyes slowly swept over the faces of Mayor Zhu Jianguo, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Shao Ning, Organization Minister Hu Linlin, Executive Deputy Mayor Liu Wei, Propaganda Minister Wang Dongshan, Standing Committee Deputy Mayor Zhang Chuanwen, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee Yang Dandan, Military Sub-district Commander Wang Ziquan, and others, and finally fixed his eyes on Shen Zhongxing who was attending the meeting.

The topic of today's meeting was the arrest of foreigners for prostitution by the Public Security Bureau at the Showman Renjian Entertainment City last night. Because Shen Zhongxing implemented Secretary Zhao's orders resolutely and thoroughly, many Standing Committee members have been kept in the dark about this matter until now.

Just like Zhu Jianguo and Shao Ning, although they heard about the police leaving the country at the Showman Renjian Entertainment City yesterday, they didn't know what happened. Shen Zhongxing took all the people inside and handed over their mobile phones. This group of people didn't even make a rescue call.

Zhao Jianhui looked at the materials on the table. The thick pile was the result of Yang Dandan and Shen Zhongxing's overnight efforts. Among them were materials from the overnight interrogation by the Public Security Bureau and reports drafted by Yang Dandan overnight.

Especially the interrogation materials of Shen Zhongxing, which included the confessions of the security guards at the Showman Renjian Entertainment City, the testimonies of some waiters, the complaints of most of the "ladies", and the self-reports of more than 30 foreigners who confessed that they received X services. Other personnel are still under investigation, but overall it has been confirmed that the inspection team of the BTR Steel Company of Country W collectively sold and prostituted at the 'Showman Renjian Entertainment City' last night.

"Director Shen, please tell everyone about the situation." Zhao Jianhui retracted his gaze and looked down at the pile of materials in front of him. Zhu Jianguo sat closest to him and tilted his head slightly. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, damn, who printed the font so small?

Shen Zhongxing was a little nervous. He had never experienced such an occasion before. Although he dreamed of showing his face at the Standing Committee, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly when he really stood here and faced those serious faces.

"Dear leaders, at 8:16 last night, the Public Security Bureau received a report from someone..." After taking a breath, Shen Zhongxing began to talk about the incident that happened last night at the 'Xiu Man Ren Jian Entertainment City'. Tao Yuhong's beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhao Jianhui who had been looking down at the documents. 'Xiu Man Ren Jian Entertainment City' was opened by Wu Songyang, the youngest son of Chairman Wu. Didn't Zhao Jianhui know?

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was very solemn. Until Shen Zhongxing finished speaking, the Standing Committee members of the committees were still holding their tea cups tightly, and no one spoke up to express their opinions.

Zhao Jianhui raised his eyes from the documents and glanced at the people who were working: "This is the situation. What do you think should be done about this matter?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one wanted to speak. If this kind of thing is true after verification, it will be said in the past when it is not handled. However, the matter involved so many foreigners, and the "Xiu Man Ren Jian Entertainment City" had been opened in Nangang City for three to five years. Some abnormal problems had occurred in the past, and the Public Security Bureau had also investigated, but in the end, the big things were turned into small things and nothing was done.

Although many people don't know who is related to "Xiu Man Ren Jian Entertainment City", it is even more difficult to open such a high-end entertainment venue in this location. How could it be possible without someone to protect it? Did Shen Zhongxing take the wrong medicine? He actually ran over to arrest people based on a call to the police? He also handcuffed nearly a hundred foreigners in the yard for a night? If he said that he didn't get Zhao Jianhui's consent, no one would believe that he had such courage?

Among these people, Zhu Jianguo had the ugliest face. He stared at Shen Zhongxing fiercely. If his eyes could kill, Shen Zhongxing would have died hundreds of times. "Fuck Shen Zhongxing, do you know the rules? Your Public Security Bureau is a department of my city government. When something happened, you didn't report to me but went to find that stupid guy? I think you are not going to make it up. You just wait for me."

"Comrades, this incident is very serious. Some people have reported that there are various problems in the "Xiu Man Ren Jian Entertainment City" before, but no facts have been found after investigation. Why did it suddenly make such a big fuss yesterday? Is there something worth thinking about? I still trust Director Shen Zhongxing's work style. But you can't report this kind of thing to the municipal government as soon as possible. Did you forget it? Recently, our Nangang City seems to have suddenly changed. There are problems in this place or that place. What happened? This matter must be investigated strictly. I suggest that the city organize a working group to enter the Public Security Bureau to unify the current cases and investigate them clearly." No one expected that Zhu Jianguo would be the first to speak. While he agreed to investigate the case that happened last night, he also asked to send an investigation team to the Public Security Bureau to investigate Ruan Yuqi's case together.

Is it really necessary to investigate it clearly? At least it's a face-saving thing.

However, it is very obvious that Zhu Jianguo's proposal is directed at Shen Zhongxing. Shen Zhongxing's face turned pale. After arresting the people last night, he followed Secretary Zhao's instructions to interrogate them one by one. He really forgot to report to the mayor. He couldn't help but glance at Zhao Jianhui, but found that Zhao Jianhui was still sitting there motionless with a faint expression, and didn't even look up at him.

Yang Dandan yawned and was about to speak, but Hu Linlin had already raised her hand: "I'll say a few words." Seeing Zhao Jianhui nod, Hu Linlin said: "I don't think it's necessary. It's true that Xiu Man Ren Jian Entertainment City has been able to escape joint inspections several times before. There are some problems, but there is no need to make a big fuss. After all, ordinary police officers, even joint defense personnel, can also tip it off. I think it's still in line with the procedures for the public security system to conduct self-examination and self-correction. Sending an investigation team is a bit excessive and will dampen the enthusiasm of comrades on the public security front."

Hu Linlin is a member of the Standing Committee who ranks very high. When she said this, she was directly standing on the opposite side of Zhu Jianguo. No one knew why this woman who was always silent and only raised her hand was so eager to stand up and challenge Zhu Jianguo this time. Only Shao Ning's eyes turned from Hu Linlin's face to Zhao Jianhui's body. He only stayed on Zhao Jianhui's face for a second before retracting his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's true!!" The scene that he was worried about after seeing it yesterday finally appeared. What should he do?

Just when he hadn't thought of anything, Zhao Jianhui had already called his name: "Secretary Shao, do you have something to say?"

Shao Ning opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then said: "What I want to say is that we must grasp the real evidence in this matter, and we must guard against those foreigners suing us. This kind of thing is not without precedent. If it is made a big fuss, it will not cause a bad impact, especially since the South China Fair will open in three days. I think our focus should still be on investigating and verifying this case. Other things can be discussed after this stage."

Zhu Jianguo's head couldn't help but bang. Shao Ning's words did not refute him openly, but secretly supported Hu Linlin.

Yang Dandan, who was closest to Secretary Zhao on the Municipal Party Committee, hadn't spoken yet, and the two main forces in the troika had already agreed. What was going on? Didn't Shao Ning always fight with Hu Linlin for the right to speak? What happened today?

Especially Hu Linlin, who had always been a centrist, this girl would stand up and oppose him today. He really didn't expect what happened in the middle. Now Zhu Jianguo has no time to think about it.

Thinking of this, his eyes turned to the Minister of Propaganda Wang Dongshan. This person has always been close to him. He has always firmly supported him in the previous Standing Committee meetings. If he can maintain his consistent position, coupled with the military sub-district commander Wang Ziquan, the executive vice mayor Liu Wei, and the standing committee member vice mayor Zhang Chuanwen, he may not die too ugly. The most important thing is that today, whether it is a win or a loss, there is a situation that cannot be grasped for the first time. This is the most difficult for Zhu Jianguo to accept.

After he looked over, Wang Dongshan really lived up to his high expectations. He raised his hand and said: "I think Mayor Zhu's suggestion is feasible. Wouldn't it be more helpful for the trial of the case if the working group enters the Public Security Bureau?"
