Officialdom: After My Demotion, My Powerful Background Was Exposed

When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 413: The Commissioner is More Honorable Than the County Magistrate

He would not give up such a good opportunity to show off. After all, the fried noodles were so unpalatable, but he still endured the discomfort and "shared happiness with the people." In the eyes of outsiders, he, the deputy director of the municipal bureau, should be such an approachable and good official.

During this time, Li Lin did not ask a single question about the case, but just ate in silence.

Wei Shuan sat in front of Li Lin, eager to communicate with Li Lin to enhance their mutual feelings, but seeing Li Lin's cold and difficult look, he began to back off.

But in the end, he still mustered up the courage and asked with a smile, "County Magistrate Li, I heard that you are the "Special Commissioner of the Anti-gang Office" of the Provincial Department. Is this true?"

Li Lin ate a dumpling without even raising his head, nodded and said "hmm" softly as a response.

Although his answer was so calm, it sounded like thunder to Wei Shuan. He was excited. In his impression, the provincial special commissioner was like an uncrowned king. Although he had no actual position, he could directly reach the "heavenly hearing"!

Wei Shuan suddenly felt that the fried noodles in front of him were not that bad, but instead had a unique flavor.

He picked up another mouthful of noodles with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it randomly and swallowed it. However, the fried noodles were too choking and blocked in his esophagus and he couldn't swallow it down... Wei Shuan's face turned red and he patted his chest hard to swallow the noodles... He didn't know how many mouthfuls of saliva he swallowed before he finally pushed down the noodles. He let out a long sigh and tears came out.

"This noodles... is too dry, hehe..." Wei Shuan laughed awkwardly.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Li Lin smiled at him and said nothing. He thought, you should eat seriously. If you think too much, you will choke easily!

Wei Shuan felt that he had lost his composure, so he quickly adjusted his expression and spoke to Li Lin seriously.

"Commissioner Li, while we were getting lunch just now, our Yunling police have cracked the information in the phone, but the result may disappoint you. There is only one call record showing that it is from Yanjing... The cardholder information is false and has no value."

"oh?"

Li Lin paused, glanced at Wei Shuan, said nothing more, and continued to eat with his head down.

You must be from Yanjing, that’s where Lu Chengze is.

As for the false identity information, it is not surprising at all. Who would use a phone card registered with real name to commit crimes? Isn't that an incrimination?

After finishing the dumplings, Li Lin wiped his mouth and looked at Wei Shuan who wanted to lick the plate clean. He said to him in a serious tone, "Director Wei, the suspect is staying in your Yunling Hospital. I hope you can pay attention to it and make sure his life is safe."

Wei Shuan put down his chopsticks, put away his smile, and said seriously, "Don't worry, Commissioner Li. If the suspect makes any mistake, I will be held responsible for it."

From then on, Wei Shuan changed the way he addressed Li Lin from county magistrate to commissioner. Perhaps in his heart he thought that a commissioner of a provincial department was more prestigious than a county magistrate.
