After they left, the smile on Wan Zhenting's face instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of resentment. He spat fiercely and cursed in a low voice, "Fuck, things change, wait and see how long you can be so arrogant!" The vicious tone seemed to vent all the grievances in this curse.
Long Gang stood aside, quietly watching Wan Zhenting, secretly laughing in his heart. On weekdays, Wan Zhenting was the boss in the bureau, and he was very powerful. He would get angry at his subordinates if he was not satisfied. But now, facing someone stronger than him, he was like a frost-bitten eggplant - wilted, not even daring to say a tough word, and could only curse behind his back. What a coward!
At this moment, Wan Zhenting seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned his head and asked Long Gang, "Xiaogang, what happened to Director Wu? Why was he suddenly taken away for investigation?" His eyes were filled with confusion and worry. After all, Wu Chengzhu was the leader of the provincial department. His accident was like dropping a blockbuster bomb on a calm lake. The entire police station was in a panic.
Long Gang, who was originally standing aside with his arms folded, felt as if all his energy was drained away when he heard Wu Chengzhu's name, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
He slowly lowered his arms, hung his head, and said weakly, "I don't know... but I believe Director Wu will be fine. He must have been framed." His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a sense of powerlessness, but a firmness burned in the depths of his eyes. That was his trust in Wu Chengzhu, which could not be easily shaken by anyone.
"Well... I hope so." Wan Zhenting shook his head helplessly and dragged his heavy feet back to his office.
He knew clearly in his mind that no matter how clean the person was, as long as he was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, there would be some problems found under the magnifying glass-like scrutiny. Otherwise, wouldn't it make the Discipline Inspection Commission appear incompetent?
Besides, Wu Chengzhu has been a leader in the provincial department for so long. The officialdom is like a battlefield. How could he not have any "scars" on his body after all this experience?
He didn't hold out much hope for this, but in this chaotic situation, he could only take one step at a time and try to save himself first.
Everyone knows that Wu Chengzhu is in great danger this time, and only a "greenhorn" like Long Gang would foolishly believe that Wu Chengzhu can return safely.
Long Gang returned to his office in despair and sat down on a chair, feeling frustrated. He immediately told Li Lin that Lin Yang and the other two had been released.
When the call was connected, Long Gang's voice was so low that it seemed to come from underground, revealing endless helplessness, "Brother Lin, I am incompetent. I had to watch Lin Yang and the other two suspects go away." He held the phone tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes were full of self-blame and anger.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. Li Lin's voice was steady and powerful, like a shot of adrenaline injected into Long Gang's heart, "It's not your fault, it's because your opponent is too cunning!"
Long Gang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked anxiously, "Brother Lin, can Director Wu come back safely?" His voice was trembling with a hint of tears. He really didn't want to believe that the Director Wu, whom he had always admired, would fall into such a predicament.
Li Lin said firmly, "Don't worry, Director Wu will return safely!" His firm tone seemed as if he had already seen the scene of Wu Chengzhu returning safely.
"Well, I also firmly believe that Director Wu will be fine... I've made up my mind, I'm going to the provincial capital now, I'm going to meet Director Pei and explain the situation to him in person, I want him to re-order the arrest of Lin Yang and the three scumbags! And Director Wu, I'm going to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to testify for him and guarantee him with my party spirit. In short, I will do my best to rescue Director Wu!" Long Gang stood up abruptly, clenched his fists, his eyes showing a desperate determination, veins bulging on his forehead, as if he was about to rush to the battlefield in the next second.
Li Lin knew Long Gang's mood at the moment. He listened quietly to Long Gang venting his emotions, and then said earnestly, "Gangzi, calm down first. It was the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission that took Director Wu away for investigation. Even if you go to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, it will not help Director Wu at all. All we can do now is to trust the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission. They will give Director Wu justice. Also, don't go to Director Pei for the time being. Let me, an outsider, go and scout the way for you first!"
His idea was very simple. As a member of the public security system, Long Gang had Pei Yulin as his top leader. If Long Gang offended Pei Yulin again because of his emotional excitement, it would cause endless troubles for his future career.
Li Lin and Pei Yulin had met each other several times before, so it would be better for him to meet Pei Yulin first and feel out his opinion before making a decision.
So after hanging up the phone, Li Lin leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, carefully sorted out what he wanted to say to Pei Yulin in his mind, then took a deep breath and dialed his number directly.
Pei Yulin is a vice-ministerial leader who holds the posts of vice governor and director of the Public Security Department. He is usually busy with official duties like a spinning top. He has offices in the provincial party committee and provincial government, and rarely has time to work in the Public Security Department. Therefore, if you want to meet him, you have to go through some trouble to confirm his position.
The call was quickly connected, and Pei Yulin's loud and resonant voice came through the receiver, "Is this Li Lin?"
"Director Pei, I'm Li Lin." Li Lin quickly sat up and said.
"Oh, what's the matter?" There was a hint of doubt in Pei Yulin's voice. After all, he and Li Lin were just nodding acquaintances, so it was inevitable that he was a little surprised to receive his call suddenly.
"Director Pei, can I see you? There are some things I need to report to you in person..." Li Lin chose his words carefully, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
