What the onlookers don’t know is that this contest is not a personal grudge, nor a game of power and interests, but is related to the purification of Yuanxi officialdom.
They are like two planets that have lost their orbits and collide with each other. One of them is bound to be damaged, and who will eventually fall is still unknown.
. . . . . .
"Ling Butong, what do you mean? Why was my brother arrested by the Zhouxi City police?"
Dong Hefei's sister Dong Yuanyu was cursing loudly before she even entered the house.
Dong Hefei is Ling Butong's wife. She is beautiful and good at dressing up and taking care of herself. She is in her forties but looks like she is in her early thirties. She is also doted on by Ling Butong.
She was out playing cards with her close friends today. When they finished and were about to go home, she heard people discussing something about the TV show "Zhouxi Questioning 1+1." The more she listened, the more she felt something was amiss.
Because the person who was arrested by the onlookers turned out to have the same name as his younger brother;
After further inquiries, she found out that the person arrested by the police was the person in charge of Zhouxi Minsheng Food and Animal Company. Only then did she realize that her brother Dong Hefei had been arrested.
After she confirmed that the person who was arrested was her own brother, she rushed home angrily, her voice reaching her before she even arrived.
Ling Butong's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He sat on the sofa in the living room, motionless like a silent sculpture.
He held a cigarette tightly in his hand and took a puff from time to time. The smoke he exhaled kept swirling and dancing in the air, as if to cover the entire room.
The cup of tea in front of him seemed to be affected by the heavy atmosphere and became a little cold.
Around him, smoke filled the air, like a layer of gauze, dancing gently, giving people a mysterious and ethereal feeling, but the smell was pungent.
He looked at his wife Dong Yuanyu, who rushed into the house cursing, and said coldly:
"What the hell are you yelling about! I've warned your brother many times not to go too far; he just won't listen. He's always showing off, being arrogant, and not knowing how to restrain himself.
Until today, I sent someone to inform him to leave Zhouxi City immediately and not stay here any longer.
Look, this guy is still sitting in the office as if nothing happened, looking relaxed and contented.
I really don't know what he is thinking. He only cares about money and not his life. He is completely obsessed with money!
Who can be blamed for all this? It can only be said that he himself did not realize the seriousness of the problem. "
"Aren't you the head of the Yuanxi Provincial Police? Getting He Fei out shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Dong Yuanyu screamed.
"What do you, a woman, know? They knew he was my brother-in-law, yet they arrested He Fei without a care. Do you think this is so easy to solve?"
Ling Butong said unhappily, feeling helpless and irritated.
"Who is it? I don't take you seriously, but you dare to order the Zhouxi City police to arrest my brother. Is it the new mayor? I'm going to find him!"
Dong Yuanyu's face was ferocious and he roared loudly.
"What are you yelling about? Are you worried about the whole world? Don't you know that Dong Hefei is my brother-in-law, Ling Butong? Others are sleepy, and you're offering them pillows?"
Ling Butong roared angrily, "If you don't want your brother to die, then behave yourself!"
"Aren't you on good terms with Mr. Feng from Yancheng? Isn't he from a powerful family in Yancheng? Ask him for help!"
Dong Yuanyu continued to roar.
"He Fei's interests have nothing to do with Master Feng, so why would he take action?
You've made so much money, but you don't know how to stop. If something goes wrong, who can you blame? Also, how do you know I have a relationship with Feng Shao? "
Ling Butong said this as if he had woken up from a dream.
He was filled with regret at this moment, and his intestines were almost turning green with regret.
Why didn't you stop those who helped Dong Hefei destroy Zhong Dejian's breeding base?
If they had been stopped in time, perhaps the situation today would not have happened.
Soon, the truth will be revealed and the consequences will be disastrous.
"Have we earned enough? Look at you, you only know how to climb up;
Look at those cadres who are lower in rank than you, their families are not extremely wealthy; if it weren't for He Fei, would our children have become high-ranking people?"
Dong Yuanyu's only wish was to ask Ling Butong to get her brother Dong Hefei out as soon as possible.
She overheard Ling Butong talking on the phone with Feng Shao from Yancheng at home, but she did not mention it.
In her eyes, Ling Butong, the deputy governor and police chief, is omnipotent.
"Aren't you two, brother and sister, using my name to make money everywhere? Haha... go ahead and make money! When I fall, you'll all be eating mud!"
This made Bu Tong angry, but also made him realize his mistake.
I thought to myself, "Oh no! It seems that Dong Yuanyu and Dong Hefei, the brother and sister, have been doing a lot of money-making things behind my back!"
He felt increasingly uneasy. After hearing what his wife Dong Yuanyu said, it was no longer a question of whether Dong Hefei could be released. If he was involved in other illegal activities, he would also be noticed by the Discipline Inspection Commission above.
It has to be said that a woman who builds endless greed into a man's ambition is extremely scary.
It was useless for Ling Bu to regret now. He could only do as his wife Dong Yuanyu said and see if Feng Shao could take action.
. . . . . .
Feng Chuanqi's mood wasn't much better either.
A person sits in a tea room, with a cup of fragrant tea placed in front of him. The aroma of tea is refreshing, but he feels more and more depressed in his heart.
Outside the window, the streets are filled with the constant flow of vehicles and pedestrians, and the noise of people coming and going is constantly heard;
Some are rushing on their way, some are strolling leisurely, everyone has his or her own destination and life trajectory.
But he was here sipping tea alone, his thoughts gradually drifting away, thinking about how to deal with what was about to happen to Yuanxi.
Now the tactic of using political resources to suppress the provincial party secretary and the governor seems to be ineffective when used on Xiao Hairuo and Huang Huamin.
The reason is that these two old guys are really good at joking.
Xiao Hairuo and Huang Huamin were able to avoid this pressure, or rather disaster, thanks to Xiao Hairuo's sincere consultation on the night when Qiao Kenan sent Feng and Xing to Yuanxi to take office.
Qiao Kenan also gave him an idea, which was to neither support nor oppose openly, just let Feng Yuxing do whatever it took, and then support him secretly.
Therefore, what Feng and Xing did had nothing to do with them, giving them room to laugh it off.
At this time, a guest came to him.
It was Lu Songwei from the Lu family. He was a leader of the younger generation. He didn't understand why Lu Songwei came to him at such a late age.
Besides, it’s Chinese New Year now! Everyone is celebrating happily!
Since the guests were already here, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just turn them away, could he? So, he could only put his worries aside for the time being, put on a forced smile, and warmly welcome the guests.
