As the secretary spoke, he secretly observed Peng Yutao's reaction.
He was also very puzzled as to why the provincial party committee did not inform Peng Yutao of such important news. This was really too abnormal and surprising.
Based on his intuition, he felt that there must be some hidden secret here.
"Bang!" Peng Yutao clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table.
A hint of cruelty gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he said with a face full of resignation, "Fuck! How could the provincial party committee leaders let Qian Lingyun off so easily? Not only that, but they also let him return to his post? They continue to let him be the mayor of Pingyang. Aren't they just trying to disgust me?"
Suddenly, a strange idea flashed through his mind.
Considering that Qi Xu refused to answer his call, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be that the provincial party committee is going to take action against him and let Qian Lingyun replace him?
"This is impossible! Absolutely not!"
Peng Yutao kept denying this idea in his heart. He was unwilling to believe this cruel conjecture no matter what.
He recalled that he had gone to great lengths to drive Qian Lingyun out of Pingyang City, and even resorted to some dirty means.
But now, why did Qian Lingyun come back unharmed?
And he was escorted by the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.
Peng Yutao was full of doubts. He really couldn't figure out what message the provincial party committee wanted to convey to the outside world.
The secretary noticed that Peng Yutao looked strange, so he asked cautiously and concernedly, "Secretary, are you okay? Do you need me to go to the municipal government to inquire about the situation? See if there is any misunderstanding in communication?"
Peng Yutao waved his hand weakly at the secretary and said, "No need, let him go. I am still the municipal party secretary. No matter how crazy Qian Lingyun is, he will report to me after he is settled. Well, you can go out first if you have nothing else to do."
The secretary nodded and turned away silently.
After coming out of Peng Yutao's office, the secretary suddenly frowned and his expression became serious.
He kept thinking about what Peng Yutao had just said, "Now I am still the secretary of the municipal party committee..." What does this mean?
Could it be that it won’t be the case anymore in the future?
Thinking of this, the secretary couldn't help but take a breath.
He knew clearly that if anything happened to Peng Yutao, he, as his secretary, would become a discarded pawn and would never have a chance to make a comeback.
With a nervous mood, the secretary returned to his office. He closed the door gently and sat alone in a chair, lost in thought.
He was wondering if he should leave himself a way out.
Thinking of this, he opened the drawer, took out a USB flash drive, examined it in his hand for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and put it back.
Peng Yutao hesitated for a moment in the office, but finally picked up the phone and dialed Lin Zheng's number.
Since the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department sent someone, there was no reason for Lin Zheng not to know about this.
He wanted to question Lin Zheng why he didn't tell him in advance.
The phone rang five or six times before Lin Zheng slowly answered it.
This made Peng Yutao very unhappy. Usually when Lin Zheng answered his call, the call would be connected within three seconds.
From this point, Peng Yutao clearly felt that Lin Zheng's attitude towards him had changed, and his mood couldn't help but become depressed.
Lin Zheng laughed nonchalantly and asked, "Secretary Peng, do you have any instructions?"
Peng Yutao did not speak immediately. Instead, he put the phone close to his ear and listened carefully to the voice on the phone, trying to guess the environment Lin Zheng was in through these sounds.
But apart from Lin Zheng's voice, there was no other sound on the phone, which made him very puzzled.
Logically speaking, Lin Zheng should also be at the municipal government receiving the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department at this time. Could it be that he also did not receive the notice? This is too strange!
Peng Yutao asked in a deep voice, "Lao Lin, where are you now?"
Lin Zheng still smiled and replied, "In my office, do you need me to come over to you?"
After hearing this, Peng Yutao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that not only did the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department not notify him, but even the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department did not notify him.
Although I was still full of doubts, I felt a little better.
He forced a smile and said, "I heard that the leader of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department sent Mayor Qian back. Didn't you receive the news?"
Lin Zheng pretended to be surprised and said, "No! I haven't received a call from the provincial government for most of the day. Did you mishear? How could someone from the provincial government not notify the municipal party committee?"
Peng Yutao was completely relieved after hearing what Lin Zheng said. He said, "Maybe I heard it wrong. It's okay then."
Lin Zheng said, "Okay, call me anytime if you have anything."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng looked around at the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department and Qian Lingyun in the room and smiled at them helplessly.
Qian Lingyun asked with a smile, "Peng Yutao's call? I guess he can't sit still any longer, right?"
Lin Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm really not good at lying, but the leaders didn't allow me to notify him, so I had no choice."
Although Lin Zheng didn't understand the provincial party committee's approach, he didn't dare to ask more questions.
Now the affairs of Lu Chengze and Chu Guoan have spread in the political circles of Hanjiang, and the whole Hanjiang is in panic.
Peng Yutao received special treatment from the provincial party committee, which made it hard not to wonder whether he was implicated.
Just at this time, Qian Lingyun returned as a king.
Although he had been "dismissed from his post and asked to reflect" by the organization before, he now seems to be unaffected.
Moreover, when he mentioned Peng Yutao, the "disdain" in his eyes was more obvious than before.
Does this mean that Peng Yutao's era is about to end, and Qian Lingyun is about to become his successor and take charge of Pingyang?
Thinking of this, Lin Zheng looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already surging.
He knew very well that as the saying goes, "When the nest is overturned, no eggs are left intact." In every political change, countless people would die in a pool of blood and become political victims.
Pingyang is probably about to face another round of turmoil.
Qian Lingyun said to Lin Zheng calmly, "Let's not guess what the provincial party committee is thinking. The leaders must have their own intentions in making such arrangements. I would like to thank the leaders of the provincial party committee's organization department for sending me back to Pingyang, and thank Minister Lin for coming to pick me up in person. I hope Minister Lin will keep the document on lifting the "reflection" and circulate it to all government agencies in the city. I will resume work immediately. Pingyang is at a critical period, and I can't lose my energy!"
"Mayor Qian, you are too polite. It is my job to liaise with the provincial party committee leaders. Don't worry, I will inform the entire city immediately and ensure that it will not affect your normal work." Lin Zheng said with a smile.
At this moment, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has sent an investigation team to the Pingyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Members of the investigation team are discussing intensively with Yang Heping, secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, on how to arrest and investigate Peng Yutao.
Their expressions were serious, the atmosphere was tense and depressing, and a storm was about to break out in Pingyang.
