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 684: The elusive Lao Wan.

The inspection team arrived very quickly, which was beyond Li Lin's expectation. He thought that he would have to delay Ding Xiaofeng and his team for a while. Li Lin guessed that perhaps the comrades of the inspection team happened to be handling a case in the vicinity of Pingyang, so they arrived so timely.

Soon the comrades from the inspection team arrived at Ding Xiaofeng's office.

They saluted Li Lin and said, "Commissioner Li, we came here as soon as we received the notice. Please briefly tell us what the situation is now."

Li Lin nodded and said, "Director Ding went to Shannan County Detention Center to pick up someone without formal procedures. In the process, he abused his power and handcuffed a police officer from Shannan County. I went to him to ask for an explanation, but he asked his subordinate He Tianying to handcuff me... That's the situation."

Hearing this, Ding Xiaofeng became anxious and hurriedly walked out from behind his desk. He explained to the comrades from the provincial department inspection team, "Comrade, Li Lin is making up stories... I went to the county to pick up someone, and the municipal bureau issued a red-headed document... As for handcuffing people, it was the Shannan police who stopped them first... Don't listen to Li Lin's nonsense..."

The police officer leading the inspection team glared at Ding Xiaofeng coldly and shouted, "Did I ask you? Stand back and stand still!"

"I..." Ding Xiaofeng didn't dare to retort, so he had to step back obediently and stand by the wall.

The comrade from the inspection team asked Li Lin again, "Commissioner Li, do you have anything else to add?"

Li Lin said, "By the way, Deputy Director Ding just ordered the city detention center to release the suspect right now. I'm worried..."

The inspector said, "It's okay. I'll call the city detention center now. If they dare to release him, we will definitely hold him accountable!"

As he said that, the inspector asked his subordinates to call the city detention center...

Releasing prisoners without any formalities is a serious crime!

Ding Xiaofeng was already standing in the corner, trembling, his face visibly pale...

At this time, the comrades of the inspection team approached Ding Xiaofeng and asked coldly, "Ding Xiaofeng, you abused your power, what else do you have to say?"

Ding Xiaofeng hesitated, "I... I am acting in accordance with the law. We have a red-headed document issued by the Municipal Bureau..."

The inspection team asked, "Where are the documents?"

Ding Xiaofeng quickly took out a document from the table and handed it to the inspector, saying, "This is it... It clearly states that the Municipal Bureau Party Committee has approved the transfer of Liu Changshuo to the Municipal Detention Center... Take a look..."

The inspector simply took it up, glanced at it, and casually handed it to his subordinate behind him, saying, "Did your municipal bureau really hold a party committee meeting to study it?"

Ding Xiaofeng said, "Yes, yes, I really studied it..."

The inspector said, "Where are the minutes of the meeting? Take them out and have a look... We will also check with the committee members one by one. If you lie, the crime will be more than just abuse of power... Think it over before you speak!"

Ding Xiaofeng swallowed nervously, trembling like a sieve, sweating profusely... Wan Zhenting was not at home, how could he, as a deputy director, have the right to convene a party committee meeting? He just forged a meeting minutes and asked the office to issue this red-headed document... He thought no one would pursue it, but he was discovered by the inspection team at a glance, and now he is in trouble...

At this time, Jia Jincheng stepped forward and said, "Comrade, Deputy Director Ding called the detention center to ask them to release the person. That was just an angry remark. The comrades in the detention center will not release the person without seeing the formalities. This is all a misunderstanding..."

The inspector glared at Jia Jincheng and asked, "What's your name? What's your position?"

Jia Jincheng said, "I am the head of the Discipline Inspection Group of the Public Security Bureau assigned by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection..."

The inspection team asked, "Oh, so you are also a member of the Municipal Bureau Party Committee. Then let me ask you, has Ding Xiaofeng ever convened a Party Committee meeting to study the case of suspect Liu Changshuo?"

Jia Jincheng was stunned. If he said yes, he would be Ding Xiaofeng's accomplice. If he said no, it would directly confirm Ding Xiaofeng's guilt...

"This... this is hard to say... I was not in the bureau at that time... I don't know either..." Jia Jincheng hesitantly said.

The inspector general understood what was going on and said, "Every word you say will serve as evidence to accuse Ding Xiaofeng of abusing his power. Now write down everything you know!"

After that, the comrades from the inspection team took Jia Jincheng to the table and asked him to write a report on the situation on the spot.

Jia Jincheng was very upset. If he had known, he would not have said a word. Now, he wanted to help Ding Xiaofeng out, but he got himself involved again...

Ding Xiaofeng was taken away by the provincial department inspection team.

Also taken away was the unlucky child He Tianying.

At the last moment when He Tianying was pushed into the police car, he looked back at the Municipal Bureau building with a look of unwillingness on his face!

He really couldn't understand why his He family in Pingyang... was becoming more and more helpless... and couldn't even afford to offend a small department-level official.

He really regretted not listening to his uncle He Shuping...Don't fight with Li Lin, don't fight with Li Lin...

He originally thought that his uncle was old and had lost his vigor, but it turned out that he was self-aware, which was the true wisdom.

With a sigh, and being pushed by a comrade from the inspection team, He Tianying lowered his head and got into the police car that was escorting the prisoners...

Li Lin successfully obtained the procedures for bringing in the person. Wu Xiongfei and Niu Jianbin from the county bureau also brought people to the municipal bureau, preparing to meet up with him and then go to the municipal detention center to take Liu Changshuo back to the county detention center for interrogation.

Just as he was about to leave, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Wan Zhenting calling.

"Xiaolin, are you gone?"

"not yet."

"Come upstairs, we'll talk."

"Are you in the Municipal Bureau?"

Li Lin was surprised.

Who would have thought that Wan Zhenting, who lied that he was going to a meeting at the provincial department, had been hiding in the municipal bureau without showing up?

Wan Zhenting said, "How can I sit still when something so serious happened? I just arrived at the Municipal Bureau and came in through the back door..."

After hanging up the phone, Li Lin said to Wu Xiongfei and Niu Jianbin, "Wait for me here. I'll go upstairs."

"good."

The two nodded in agreement without asking what happened to Li Lin.

Arrived at Wan Zhenting’s office.

Wan Zhenting was wiping the grand and spacious mahogany desk with a rag.

It can be seen that he really did not return to the Municipal Bureau during this period.

Li Lin asked curiously, "Wan Ju, what's the point of this? Since you are in Pingyang, why don't you come forward to stop Ding Xiaofeng? Did you acquiesce to him doing that?"

Wan Zhenting first asked Li Lin to sit down, and then explained, "Don't accuse me of anything. I just found out about these things, so I ran back in a panic."

Li Lin looked at Wan Zhenting with disbelief.

He has been the director of the Municipal Bureau for so many years, but he doesn't have many trusted people around him? Is there no one to report to him every day about the big and small things happening in the bureau?

In Li Lin's opinion, Wan Zhenting was just pretending to be confused.
