"Li Lin! Do you really understand what the serious consequences of arresting me will be?" Lu Chengze slowly stood up from the sofa, his eyes widened with burning anger, like two balls of magma about to erupt. He glared at Li Lin fiercely, as if he wanted to cut Li Lin into pieces, and his words were full of threats and warnings.
Li Lin's face was as calm as water, his eyes showed determination and composure, and he said calmly, "I only know that if we catch you, society will have one less cancer!" His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the slightly empty living room of the villa. Every word seemed to be of great weight, demonstrating his determination and conviction.
After hearing what Li Lin said, Lu Chengze's facial muscles tensed up instantly. His hands clenched into fists involuntarily. He stared at Li Lin intently, as if he wanted to see through him. He gritted his teeth and said, "You are simply an ignorant idiot! You'd better call Wang Jin first and ask him carefully before deciding whether to arrest me. By then, you will know the seriousness of the matter!"
However, Li Lin was extremely fed up with Lu Chengze's threats and shouting at this moment, and he was too lazy to engage in such meaningless nonsense with Lu Chengze.
There was a flash of determination in his eyes, and he said firmly, "If you have anything to say, go to the Discipline Inspection Commission and tell them!"
"You!" When Lu Chengze heard Li Lin's tough response, he was so angry that he trembled all over. The expression on his face became distorted and hideous. He gritted his teeth and the sound seemed to tear the air apart.
He was filled with resentment, like a wild beast trapped in a cage, but with nowhere to vent.
He stared at Li Lin with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, and said unwillingly, "You will regret it! Wang Jin will also regret sending you here! When you know the consequences, you will understand how stupid and overconfident your decision is!"
After hearing what Lu Chengze said, Li Lin's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
He knew in his heart that since Wang Jin had sent him to carry out such an important and difficult task, he must have thought it over carefully and was mentally prepared to deal with all possible consequences.
Even if something unexpected really happens in the end and he needs to take responsibility, he will bite his teeth and swallow it without hesitation and never back down.
Furthermore, the provincial party committee had actually already anticipated the so-called serious consequences that Lu Chengze clamored about, and had also formulated corresponding response strategies.
Not only the provincial party committee, but also the top leaders of Yanjing had long seen through the interests involved, so they specially sent people from the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission to sit in Hanjiang just in case.
In fact, anyone with a little political sense will understand that Lu Chengze has been in power in Hanjiang for more than ten years, and during this long period of time, he has promoted countless cadres.
Although some of these cadres are not of very high ranks, their positions are crucial and they control various key resources and powers.
Lu Chengze must have some leverage over these people, and use it as an important bargaining chip in negotiations with the provincial party committee. Once the two sides fail to reach an agreement, he will not hesitate to report all the negative materials to the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission.
As a result, a large number of cadres in Hanjiang will fall into a terrifying situation where everyone is in danger, the entire officialdom will be in panic and order will be in chaos.
As the saying goes, "When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will be affected." Once the political ecology is broken, it will cause a strong earthquake in the Han River political circles, causing immeasurable losses and impacts.
If Wang Jin and Zhao Yuehui, the top two leaders of the provincial party committee, fail to handle this matter properly, Yanjing will definitely take serious action against them and their political future will be ruined.
Lu Chengze was betting on the political future of Wang Jin and Zhao Yuehui, betting that they would not dare to act against him easily or reveal the bottom line of this power game easily.
If it was someone else who came to arrest him today instead of Li Lin, there is a high probability that those people would be shaken for fear of taking responsibility, and would call Wang Jin on the spot to report the emergency, and even call Zhao Yuehui and Chen Guofu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to seek instructions. This would put the Provincial Party Committee in an awkward dilemma, giving Lu Chengze more opportunities to maneuver and escape.
But the person who came today happened to be Li Lin.
During this confrontation with Lu Chengze, Li Lin gradually understood Wang Jin's good intentions.
Perhaps Wang Jin had already determined that only Li Lin had enough courage and determination to bring Lu Chengze to justice, so he specially selected him to carry out this difficult task.
Wang Jin was like a farsighted chess master who had considered all possible situations before making the layout and carefully planned every move. With Wang Jin commanding from behind, Li Lin felt that he had nothing to worry about. He only needed to act according to the plan and complete his task.
At this moment, Li Lin's heart was filled with a strong impulse. He wanted to point at Lu Chengze's nose and shout, "Fuck you, earthquake! I'm here to deal with you, a scourge. Don't mention that you have the leverage over someone else. Even if the sky falls today, I will lock you up first!"
But he is a law enforcement officer after all, representing the majesty of the country and the law, and he must pay attention to his quality and image when speaking and doing things.
So, he just smiled coldly at Lu Chengze, that smile was full of disdain and ridicule, and let Lu Chengze continue to jump and shout there, he remained unmoved.
After seeing the fierce confrontation between Li Lin and Lu Chengze, all the law enforcement police officers present couldn't help but turn their gazes to Li Lin, their eyes full of inquiry and expectation, waiting for him to give the next action order.
