Although Zhao Yanqiu is a woman, her ambition is higher than that of her fiancé Wang Guangsheng. She really hopes that she and Wang Guangsheng can achieve some results in their jobs.
After returning to the office and listening to Liu Fusheng's analysis, Wang Guangsheng was still a little hesitant.
"Xiao Liu, your analysis does make sense, but it's incredibly difficult for us to collect evidence. Deputy Mayor He's status and position are different from those of ordinary people. If he doesn't cooperate, you won't be able to do anything... Even if he does, we won't have time to search for clues left by the thief. Don't forget, you only have three days!"
"Three days is more than enough!"
Liu Fusheng said confidently, "I need the entire case, the most detailed information, and the procedures for going to the archives and retrieving the relevant files."
Wang Guangsheng wanted to say something, but Zhao Yanqiu glared at him and said, "Stop wasting time. Xiao Liu is new here, and he's so confident. Don't embarrass the Second Brigade!"
Wang Guangsheng lost his temper immediately. He said, "The detailed information is in our team, but the procedures for checking the files need to be issued by Captain Dong... He's angry now, so you should analyze the case first. I'll see how we can come up with a solution..."
Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Brother Wang and Sister Zhao for your hard work!"
It was time to get off work, and the police officers who had no tasks left the office one after another, but Liu Fusheng and the other three all chose to work overtime to study the case.
When Dong Kui got off work, he passed by them with a stern face and didn't say a word.
…
That night, at the old secretary's residence.
Li Hongliang was leisurely brewing tea when he said to Li Wenbo, who was sitting next to him, "Wu Zhiming dismissed Chen Qingbo, the man you promoted?"
Li Wenbo said helplessly: "Yes, Wu Zhiming is well prepared, and Chen Qingbo himself is not clean. I am very passive..."
"Your judgment of people is still a little off."
Li Hongliang picked up the teacup and said lightly.
Li Wenbo blushed slightly, and after a pause, he said, "I really admire Dong Kui from the Second Criminal Investigation Team. He's a very upright person, but I never expected that the friend he so strongly recommended would be such a person!"
Li Hongliang said, "Birds of a feather flock together. This doesn't apply to all situations! You're just being lazy and not doing a thorough investigation, which is why you're in such a passive position now! You can't even keep the people you promoted. The backbones in the bureau will definitely have something to say!"
Li Wenbo sighed and said nothing.
Li Hongliang comforted his son, saying, "It's nothing. Don't be discouraged. Gambling always has winners and losers. No one can win all the time. Wu Zhiming's vision is still too small. There's no need to worry about him."
"What do you mean?" Li Wenbo was stunned.
Li Hongliang said, "Your uncle Gao called me yesterday. The provincial government hasn't reached a clear conclusion on Wu Zhiming's promotion or demotion yet! His dismissal from his position as director was, on the one hand, to allow you to quickly familiarize yourself with the Liaonan business, and on the other hand, because the organization wanted to gauge Wu Zhiming's reaction... He should be going to the provincial government right now to build some connections, instead of thinking you've sidelined him and are targeting him everywhere in Liaonan!"
Li Wenbo said in surprise: "Is that so? If I remind him..."
Li Hongliang's face darkened. "What nonsense! If you tell this news, it's like handing all the evidence against Gao Lingyue and myself to Wu Zhiming. He can use this to control you at any time!"
Li Wenbo was shocked, and after a little thought he realized that what he did was a serious violation of discipline.
Li Hongliang said patiently, "It's good for you to have a fight with Wu Zhiming. Only by fighting can you see clearly what those people in the bureau are really thinking... The saying goes, 'Strong grass is revealed in the strong wind'..."
Li Wenbo nodded to show that he accepted the advice.
Li Hongliang suddenly asked, "Which department was Liu Fusheng assigned to?"
"Criminal Investigation Team."
"Criminal investigation?"
Li Wenbo laughed and said, "This kid slapped Chen Qingbo today."
After hearing what happened, Li Hongliang smiled and said, "On his first day on the job, he dared to slap the HR chief? This guy is really interesting. He even knew how to prevent him from revealing his identity. He's paid attention to details. He's a real talent!"
Li Wenbo nodded and said, "So I took advantage of the situation and assigned him to the Criminal Investigation Detachment... Wu Zhiming might think I wanted to use Dong Kui to deal with Liu Fusheng so that I could vent my anger over Chen Qingbo's dismissal. In reality, I just wanted to see how this kid would grow in the face of adversity."
Li Hongliang said with satisfaction, "You did a good job on this matter. Wu Zhiming has taken down Chen Qingbo, and Liu Fusheng must have a very good impression of him. According to normal routine, this guy is likely to be accepted as Wu Zhiming's direct subordinate... Now you have used a strong medicine. When Liu Fusheng can no longer hold on, you will come forward to uphold justice and bring him back to your side. Well, at least Wu Zhiming will not seize the initiative!"
Li Wenbo said with some doubt: "Dad, you seem to value Liu Fusheng more than Wu Zhiming? Is he worth it?"
Li Hongliang smiled and said, "Wu Zhiming is my opponent, and Liu Fusheng is my teammate. They have different personalities... Besides, what I value is only your growth."
…
In the evening, in a pub near the Municipal Bureau.
Chen Qingbo threw his head back, drained a glass of baijiu, and slammed the table, cursing, "Fuck this! This is so aggravating! I'm over forty years old and a deputy section chief in the Municipal Bureau, and I was slapped in the face by a new guy and even fired! What the hell is this!"
Dong Kui, who was sitting across from him, also put down his glass heavily and said, "Qingbo, don't be angry! This guy is under my command. In three days at most, I will make him take off his police uniform and get out!"
Chen Qingbo's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you sure?"
Dong Kui sneered, "If he refuses to leave, no matter which department he's transferred to, I'll block his door and scold him every day! I don't believe he's lost all his dignity!"
This man values loyalty the most. In order to stand up for Chen Qingbo, he is willing to become a bad guy and teach Liu Fusheng a lesson!
Chen Qingbo rolled his eyes and said, "That kid dares to be so arrogant, it's hard to guarantee that he has no background. Old Dong, you better be careful..."
Dong Kui slammed the table and glared, "I don't care what his background is! Even if Director Li or Secretary Wu were his biological fathers, I would still scold him!"
"Old Dong, don't get excited!"
Chen Qingbo breathed a sigh of relief and hypocritically advised, "I know you're a very friendly person! Well, I won't say anything more. It's all in the wine! Also, I'll ask my nephew to investigate this kid's background!"
"Your nephew? Chen Jian? What can he investigate?" Dong Kui frowned.
Chen Qingbo smiled and said, "Old Dong, don't underestimate him because he doesn't have much ability. His girlfriend is an old classmate of Liu Fusheng! I believe we can find out the details of that guy very soon!"
…
An old residential area near the publishing house.
This is the house that Zheng Xiaoyun rented in Liaonan City. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zheng Xiaoyun opened the door upon hearing the sound, her face froze in surprise: "Chen Jian? It's so late, what are you doing here? What's wrong with your eyes?"
"Come inside and talk!"
Chen Jian, whose eyes were black and blue after being beaten by Liu Fusheng, lowered his head and was about to go to Zheng Xiaoyun's house.
Zheng Xiaoyun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't do this. We agreed that we can't be too intimate before we get married. It's so late now, you..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Jian's face darkened. Just as he was about to explode, he remembered his uncle's instructions and could only force a smile and say, "Xiao Yun, I have something serious to discuss with you... It's okay if you don't come into the house, but you have to tell me the truth. What's Liu Fusheng's background?"
"Liu Fusheng? What happened to him?" Zheng Xiaoyun became subconsciously alert.
Chen Jian said, "He's gotten into some trouble. I want to know where he lives, how much money he has, and whether he has any powerful relatives."
"I don't know about this. I'm not familiar with Liu Fusheng. Why don't you ask him yourself?"
Zheng Xiaoyun knew Chen Jian's character. Hearing these questions, she knew he was definitely going to embarrass Liu Fusheng. Moreover, the feud between the two of them was because of her, and she immediately felt unhappy...
Chen Jian was already angry after being beaten, and now he was rejected by Zheng Xiaoyun. The new and old grudges added together made him lose face in an instant.
He pushed Zheng Xiaoyun and said, "I'm talking to you nicely, and you're so shameless!"
"What's the matter? Are you interested in Liu Fusheng?"
"I'm telling you, you have to tell me today, you have to tell me!"
