Pingyang Municipal Committee.
Peng Yutao was on pins and needles.
The leather seat under his butt seemed to be covered with sharp thorns, making him unable to sit still.
The sunlight from outside the window poured in freely, but it could not warm the chill in his heart. Instead, it made the atmosphere in the room even more depressing.
His fingers tapped nervously on the desk, making a "tapping" sound, and his thoughts were like a tangled mess that he couldn't sort out.
A thought kept circling in his mind - should he call Qian Lingyun?
Should I go and get some information, or should I bow my head and show goodwill?
This question was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping his heart.
After all, Qian Lingyun was suspended from his post by the provincial party committee to reflect on his actions because he was the one behind it.
He seemed to be able to see Qian Lingyun's hateful eyes, like sharp blades, stabbing straight at him.
After Qian Lingyun resumed his post, he went straight back to the municipal government without even saying hello, which made Peng Yutao feel even more uneasy.
Is it still useful to show goodwill now? Can Qian Lingyun easily accept that stubborn temper?
It would be so embarrassing if you fail to achieve success. You would just be asking for trouble!
At the same time, members of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation team and the Pingyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection were sitting together with serious expressions, intensively discussing the investigation plan for Peng Yutao.
They know that time is running out and every minute and every second counts.
If the news leaked out accidentally and Peng Yutao fled or committed suicide, it would be a big trouble.
There is no time to worry about any negative impact now. The top priority is to control Peng Yutao first. This is the key to solving the problem.
In the office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Yang Heping frowned, sighed heavily, and his face was full of helplessness and worry.
He knew in his heart that what the leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection said was right, but the fact that the top leader of the municipal party committee was taken away in public had a huge impact.
This not only means that many officials will have sleepless nights, but also concerns the provincial party committee's overall view of Pingyang, and may even lead to the provincial party committee's total denial of the work of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee.
Next, Pingyang will probably fall into a difficult period, and no one will have a good life.
"We have been fighting corruption for years, and Pingyang City has been rated as an advanced collective every year. I didn't expect that this leader would suddenly get into trouble. What a great irony! Pingyang has had such serious violations of laws and disciplines, and I, as the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, cannot escape blame. After Peng Yutao's case is investigated, I think I should resign from the provincial party committee. Oh..."
Yang Heping's face was filled with guilt as he expressed his inner self-blame to the head of the investigation team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Cheng Shuang, the head of the investigation team sent by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, is a middle-aged man in his early forties.
He has thick black hair and a sturdy body. You can tell at first glance that he is a man who pays attention to exercise on a daily basis.
At this moment, he listened to Yang Heping's regretful words, sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm and said, "Secretary Yang, what's the point of saying this now? If we delay any further and let Peng Yutao escape, that would be a real unforgivable crime."
Yang Heping was shocked, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe. He woke up instantly and nodded in panic, "Team Leader Cheng, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to delay time. Our people have already gathered and are on standby. We are just waiting for your order and we will go and arrest him immediately!"
Cheng Shuang nodded slowly, his face calm but revealing unquestionable majesty, "First, confirm Peng Yutao's position. You must keep him steady and don't let him get suspicious."
Yang Heping hesitated for a moment, as if he had made a great decision, and nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll call him right away."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and dialed Peng Yutao's number with trembling fingers.
The phone rang three times, and Peng Yutao's voice came from the receiver, "Heping, what's up?"
Yang Heping took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said with a smile, "Secretary Peng, where are you now? I have some work to report to you in person. Where do you think I should go to meet you?"
Peng Yutao was unaware of the approaching danger and said without any vigilance, "I'm at the Municipal Party Committee, come on!"
He was feeling very depressed at the moment and urgently needed to find someone to talk to. Yang Heping and Qian Lingyun had a close relationship, so he also planned to find out some news about Qian Lingyun from Yang Heping, and at the same time find out the latest developments of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Heping said to Cheng Shuang, "Director Cheng, Peng Yutao is in the Municipal Party Committee Office now. Should we go there directly or call him to another place?"
He was still worried that any drastic action would have unpredictable impacts on the situation in Pingyang, especially arresting people in the municipal party committee, which would send too strong a signal to the outside world.
Those officials must be thinking that since the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection used such tough measures to openly arrest the top leader of the municipal party committee, the case he was involved in must be quite serious, which also shows the determination of the Provincial Party Committee to conduct a thorough investigation.
Those who have secret dealings with Peng Yutao will definitely be restless and may do something extreme.
He didn't want to see Pingyang cadres jumping off buildings today and jumping into rivers tomorrow. This would have a very bad impact on society and would cause great damage to the government's image.
Cheng Shuang seemed to have made up his mind long ago, and said firmly, "Go to the Municipal Party Committee now and arrest him!"
Yang Heping had no choice but to nod heavily in agreement.
Downstairs of the Discipline Inspection Commission, three black official cars were neatly lined up, their bodies reflecting a cold light in the sun.
The disciplinary inspection commission investigators, dressed in uniform, had serious expressions and stood upright on both sides of the car, like a group of soldiers waiting for the order to go to battle, exuding a murderous aura.
