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 442: Chess Piece Lands

Yanjing.

Lu Chengze's private residence.

The call with Li Lin ended.

"Fuck! Peng Yutao, that coward! He actually let him go!"

"Yue Chuan was actually controlled by him... He's also a waste! It's fucking shameful!"

"And where did that guy Lao Gu go?"

Sitting alone behind a desk.

Lu Chengze leaned on his head with one hand and fell into deep thought. He looked like a deflated ball, haggard and exhausted...

The well-planned chess game collapsed in an instant with the disappearance of Lao Gu.

He regretted it very much now. He really shouldn't have threatened Lao Gu and made him want to run away.

Now, Lao Gu is already a time bomb. Once he falls into the hands of the police, he will be doomed!

what to do?

Yue Chuan is in the Han River, Lao Gu is hiding...there is no one around him who can help!

He could only stay at the Han River in person.

Looking at the time, it's already eight o'clock in the evening.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the phone on the table.

First, he called the driver who had been following him for a long time and told him, "Pack up and follow me to the Han River tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, he took out a black notebook from the drawer of his desk and opened it. Each page of the notebook had a name and a private phone number for each person.

After flipping through a few pages, he stopped what he was doing, calmed down, and dialed the number on the screen...

"Hello, Guoan, I'm Lu Chengze, how are you doing recently?"

"Old leader, I'm fine. Please tell me if you have any instructions."

"Guoan, I promoted you, and now you are a big shot. As for me, my days are numbered, and I have lost my power. Anyone can bully me...Alas, this world really makes me sad!"

"Old leader, no matter how others treat you, I will always support you, and you will always be my leader... I have heard about your affairs, but Yuanfeng's crime is too serious and has alarmed Secretary Wang, so it is difficult for me to operate secretly... Old leader, what do you need me to do now? Please instruct me."

"You still recognize me as your old leader, which proves that I didn't misjudge him. I'm very touched, so I'll tell you straight... Yuanfeng was sent to prison by a man named Li Lin and Ren Jianghai. I can't swallow this, but Li Lin is protected by Cheng Wei, so it's difficult to touch him for the time being... But Ren Jianghai is just a helpless businessman, and he also holds evidence of Yuanfeng's crimes, so he must not be allowed to live..."

Chu Guoan was silent for a moment, and said in a heavy tone, "Old leader, I know what to do."

"Okay, it's time for you to take the next step. I have several important connections in Yanjing, and they will help you move up a level... I'll go to Hanjiang tomorrow and we'll meet and talk."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Guoan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Yuanfeng had been in Hanjiang for the past few years, and had taken good care of these powerful figures of the local faction. He also provided them with large amounts of donations all year round and knew many of their unknown secrets.

Otherwise, as Lu Chengze himself said, how could he, a dying old man with no power or influence, possibly make them obey him absolutely?

After making the first call, he immediately began to plan his next move.

He continued to flip through the black leather notebook in his hand and dialed the number on it.

"Qi Rui...I'm Lu Chengze."

"Governor Lu, hello, how can I help you?"

"You have taken good care of Yuanfeng in Hanjiang these years. I am very grateful. Thank you."

"Old Governor, what are you saying? This is what I should do..."

As he said this, Wang Qirui, deputy director of the Public Security Department, couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. He knew that what was coming would come sooner or later. He had received so many benefits from Lu Yuanfeng over the years, and it was time to repay him.

Lu Chengze smiled and didn't rush to give orders. Instead, he asked him, "You've been in the deputy director position for three or four years, right? You've gotten enough training! Do you want to move up?"

Wang Qirui knew that this was the price Lu Chengze offered him to do something for him. He also knew that although Lu Chengze had retired, he still had considerable resources and connections, and was able to help him achieve promotion. So he said with a smile, "Old Governor, of course I want to improve..."

"Well, I'll go to Hanjiang tomorrow and find a chance to discuss with Vice Governor Chu to see how I can help you." Lu Chengze nodded and smiled, thinking that as long as you are ambitious and want to be promoted, he is not afraid that you will be disobedient!

Wang Qirui calmed down and asked, "Old Governor, please tell me what I want to do."

"My request is very simple. Find a way to get Yuanfeng out and send him abroad." Lu Chengze said.

Hearing this, Wang Qirui said in embarrassment, "Old Governor, this may be too difficult... Yuanfeng's case was handled by Director Pei and Wu Chengzhu. Even the place where Yuanfeng was imprisoned was kept extremely secret. I spent a lot of effort to find out... I'm afraid I can't help!"

Lu Chengze anticipated Wang Qirui's concerns, and he laughed and said, "I will help you find a solution... Soon you will be able to replace Wu Chengzhu and take charge of Yashan Prison... Then you will have the opportunity to contact Yuanfeng."

Replace Wu Chengzhu?

So Wu Chengzhu is going to be transferred or...?

Wang Qirui was very surprised and couldn't imagine what means Lu Chengze would use to drive Wu Chengzhu out of the Public Security Bureau.

Lu Chengze's method is actually rough and simple. He will find a few people to collect some negative information about Wu Chengzhu, and submit it to the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission with real names, both true and false. As long as Wu Chengzhu accepts the investigation, all his positions will be temporarily relieved during this period... However, the work of the Public Security Department cannot be stopped, and someone has to take over. As the deputy director, Wang Qirui can naturally replace Wu Chengzhu.
