"Brother Ba, we have to get the people in Xiyun City moving first. They have been idle for too long. We have to get them moving so that they don't become rusty in their work!" Jing Wenyong let out a strange laugh.
"Brother Jing, this is a great idea! I absolutely support it..." Baweiqing complimented him quickly.
Feng Yuxing's order to arrest Bavitt, CEO of Changyun Food Company, undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of the entire industry.
As time went by, within just a few hours, everyone from the government to the business community, from Changming to Xiyun City, and then to the provincial capital, felt the shock and chain reaction brought about by this storm.
Office of the Secretary of the Xiyun Municipal Party Committee.
Municipal Party Secretary Yan Baiyang is drinking tea with Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Lu Da.
Officials who can become members of the municipal standing committee must have a good political sense. Ever since Feng Yuxing's bug incident blew up the situation in Changming County, Lu Da, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, has smelled something different.
From then on, he gradually moved closer to the municipal party secretary Yan Baiyang, and reported to Yan Baiyang as soon as he heard any news.
"Secretary, Comrade Yixing suddenly ordered the arrest of Bavit, the head of Chang Yunwen Food from the Ba family in the provincial capital. This matter has a big impact. Will it be out of control?" Lu Da said while observing the changes in Yan Baiyang's facial expression.
"Since Comrade Yuxing has ordered the arrest of Bavit, it proves that Bavit is definitely committing illegal acts in Changming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken action!" Yan Baiyang said firmly, "Alas! This comrade is a bit of a hater of evil. He will show no mercy to criminals!"
What Yan Baiyang meant was that the arrest of Bavett was a decision made by Feng Yuxing himself, and he would not interfere. His attitude was just one of support, nothing else.
"Bavett is from the provincial capital. Besides the provincial capital's influence, we also have people in our city who are willing to work hard for him. If Comrade Xing takes a firm stance this time, the pressure will be considerable. You must be mentally prepared! Don't let yourself be passive."
Lu Da saw that Yan Baiyang's attitude was to support Feng Yuxing, so he could only give him a kind reminder.
"You mean, someone in our Xiyun City has intervened in this matter?" Yan Baiyang was quite surprised by what Lu Da said.
"That's for sure. Just today, a few hours ago, Di Zhongqun, deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade sent to Changming County to investigate the bug incident, stormed into Comrade Zhixing's office and demanded that he release the person. Comrade Zhixing unceremoniously kicked him out!"
Lu Da is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. The public security, procuratorial and judicial organs work under his leadership, but he does not directly manage the specific work. He only arranges personnel and supervises them. However, the relationship is relatively close, especially when it comes to matters related to the police system, there will always be someone who will tell him first.
Yan Baiyang immediately understood what he said. Someone had instructed Di Zhongqun, who was in Changming County, to ask Feng Yuxing for someone.
"A section-level cadre broke into a division-level cadre's office and used chicken feathers as a token of authority. He rebelled against him!" Yan Baiyang's face softened. "Fortunately, he didn't fight Comrade Yuxing, otherwise, he would probably be lying in the hospital!"
"Di Zhongqun is the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade and is quite skilled. Comrade Yuxing has not received any training in this area after all!" Lu Da said awkwardly. He did not directly say that Feng Yuxing could not be Di Zhongqun's opponent.
"You've forgotten that Comrade Yuxing is a former fighter pilot. Haha... Under his command, Lian Jiaji, the police chief of Yinzhou City, has no chance of fighting back!" Yan Baiyang's tone showed his disdain for Di Zhongqun. He then changed the subject, "By the way, who do you think will give instructions to Di Zhongqun?"
"It should be Gong Yongli, the deputy mayor in charge of the police station. He will probably arrive in Chang Ming tomorrow morning at the latest. He should want to put pressure on Comrade Yixing! Or it would be more appropriate to say, 'Knock, knock!'" Lu Da directly stated the information he received, which also meant that he completely stood on Yan Baiyang's side.
"Haha... If he's really like you said, then he'll be embarrassed in a matter of minutes!" Yan Baiyang said nonchalantly, "Gong Yongli is related to the Ba family?"
"They have a very good relationship. Gong Yongli's son Gong Tinghui spends most of his time in Changming, hanging out with powerful people in the provincial capital, such as the Ba family and the Jing family..." Lu Da's words were already clear enough.
"It seems that Chang Ming's loss of the bug was inevitable rather than accidental!" Yan Baiyang was very unhappy, his face a little gloomy. "When officials and businessmen are involved, it's not a good thing!"
"I don't know whether it's a good thing or not, but with Comrade Yuxing's move, not only the balance of Changming County, but also that of Xiyun City will be broken, so it will be a troubled time in the future!" Lu Da said jokingly.
At this moment, Mayor Qiu Shangnan also arrived.
"Hey! Comrade Shangnan, please take a seat! Yuanxian, serve tea!" Yan Baiyang said to his secretary Yuanxian.
"Comrade Lu Da is here too! That's great, let's talk about something!" Mayor Qiu Shangnan seemed to be forcing a smile on his face as he spoke.
"Thank you!" Qiu Shangnan took the tea Yuan Xian had brewed for him, took a sip, and looked at Yan Baiyang and Lu Da. "Comrade Chang Ming and Comrade Xing ordered the arrest of Bavit from the provincial capital. You've heard about this, right? Oh! What a headache!"
"Oh! I heard some things. Comrade Lu Da and I were just talking about this. We were all guessing. Has Comrade Shang Nan got more accurate information?" Yan Baiyang glanced at Lu Da and said with a smile.
"Oh, there are indeed some rumors circulating. Comrade Luda and I just talked about this for a while, and we are just guessing."
There was a hint of ease in Yan Baiyang's voice. He met Lu Da's gaze and smiled slightly, as if inadvertently revealing that he had also heard of the matter, but was unwilling to make the truth of the incident too clear.
"However, does Comrade Shangnan have more accurate information?" he continued to ask, with the smile on his face becoming more intense, as if he was extremely interested in this question.
"Of course I know. As the mayor, Bavit's arrest will, to some extent, have a significant impact on Changming County's economy, and it's likely to affect the entire Xiyun City!"
Mayor Qiu Shangnan said worriedly,
"You know, those young masters in the provincial capital, I don't know about other places, but when it comes to investing in Xiyun City, they all stick together. Sigh!..."
Yan Baiyang certainly understood Qiu Shangnan's concerns. Major forces in the provincial capital, such as the Ba family and the Jing family, invested in Xiyun not only in Changming, but also in other places, and the proportion was not small.
He was worried that these forces would relocate their industries to other places, which would have a huge impact on Xiyun City's economy.
