When Li Lin finished telling the story of how businessmen bribed Pingyang cadres.
Chen Guofu stood up and paced around, frowning deeply, as if he was thinking about how to deal with the matter.
Li Lin waited quietly for his reply.
After a moment, Chen Guofu suddenly looked at Li Lin and said, "I know about this! I will keep an eye on this case. Once the Pingyang Commission for Discipline Inspection has identified the people involved, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will intervene at an appropriate time. First of all, I want to commend you for being able to stick to the bottom line and firmly refuse the temptation of huge bribes. You are a good cadre of our party! Remember not to make it public when you go back. After all, if something like this happened in Pingyang, the provincial party committee will also lose face. I will report the original matter to Secretary Wang and listen to his opinions before making a decision."
Li Lin nodded silently. The matter had not been fully investigated yet. Chen Guofu was showing special consideration by saying these words to him instead of speaking in official language.
After receiving Chen Guofu's praise, Li Lin felt much more relieved. This meant that his report was timely. If someone else reported it first and he reported it later, he would be investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission even if he did not accept the bribe.
After finishing the work, Li Lin stood up and said goodbye.
Chen Guofu watched him leave the office, nodding and smiling.
Shortly after Li Lin left, Gong Hetong, deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, knocked on the door and walked in with a thick yellow envelope in his hand.
"Secretary Chen, I opened the report box this morning and found several reports. One of them was an anonymous report about members of the Pingyang project evaluation committee accepting huge bribes. The amount of money involved in the letter was huge and there were many people involved. I don't think it's a small case. Please take a look first."
As he said that, Gong Hetong placed the letter of complaint on Chen Guofu's desk.
Chen Guofu frowned and asked, "You found it when you unpacked it this morning? Why did you bring it here now?"
Gong Hetong said, "Our comrades in the case room will first open the letter to check whether the content is true or false, whether there are repeated reports, and the importance of the case, and then hand it over to you for review. If you were asked to review every detail, I'm afraid you would not have time to visit the people or hold a provincial committee meeting."
Chen Guofu knew these procedures, but he was just confused. Li Lin had just left when the report letter was handed to him. Was this too much of a coincidence? He even suspected that Li Lin had received the news in advance and had come to report it in a fake manner... If there had not been this report letter, would Li Lin have taken the initiative to admit that someone had bribed him?
Seeing Chen Guofu's serious expression, Gong Hetong asked hurriedly, "Secretary Chen, do you have any other questions?"
Chen Guofu said, "Oh, I just think it's too coincidental. The head of Shannan County just left my office. He came to report to me about the bribery of Pingyang cadres. He also frankly admitted that someone gave him 200,000 foreign currency, but he refused it... I admired his initiative to report it and thought Li Lin was a good cadre with awareness. But he just left and you sent the report on this case in... Old Gong, if it were you, would you think this was normal?"
Gong Hetong was also puzzled, and nodded slowly and said, "It's quite a coincidence..."
But feeling Chen Guofu's questioning gaze, he quickly reacted and waved his hand to explain, "Secretary Chen, you are not suspecting that our comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection deliberately leaked the news to him? This is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible... Although this letter does not have a time and date, we have checked the surveillance and confirmed that our comrades followed the procedures for picking up and checking the letter... Besides, the time in between is not enough for Li Lin to appear in front of you so quickly from Shannan!"
Chen Guofu took a long breath and exhaled slowly, saying, "Of course I believe in our comrades... It's just that Li Lin is too wild... Before we received the letter, he had a hunch that there was a conspiracy here, and he took the initiative to report the bribery of Pingyang cadres clearly... How did he know? How did he know that the group of bribers were arrested by the provincial police? Could this kid have done it privately again?"
Combining all the details, Chen Guofu had reason to believe that Li Lin must have acted privately and sent the bribers to the police station!
Gong Hetong said in disbelief, "No way... Is he that bold? Besides, does he have the means? Like those businessmen, which one doesn't have a few bodyguards around him? How is it possible!"
Chen Guofu laughed and said, "Others may not have the courage, but Li Lin may not! Hey... this kid, he got away with it again... If he had come a few minutes later, I would have made him write a statement before letting him go! Just now, I praised him in person!"
Gong Hetong didn't know what to say, so he just smiled and stopped talking.
This praise is too casual, after all, Li Lin was the bribe recipient. Secretary Chen, you didn't even see the stolen goods, and you didn't even make a formal record, but you rashly praised him. Doesn't this imply that no matter what the result is, the relevant cadres will not be held accountable?
This is a bit too casual, right?
However, Gong Hetong only dared to think about this in his heart. He dared not say it out loud, for fear of offending Chen Guofu.
He had also heard of Li Lin's name, a legendary figure. Although he was only a small department-level cadre, his actions showed that he was a person with a very powerful background.
Otherwise, Secretary Wang would not have looked at him differently, and even Secretary Chen, who had always enforced the law impartially, believed his one-sided story.
"Secretary Chen, if there's nothing else, I'll go get busy first. Call me if you need anything."
Gong Hetong said hello and left Chen Guofu's office.
After he left.
Chen Guofu opened the anonymous letter of complaint that had already been opened.
