Chapter 499: The Ministry of the Interior's Compromise

"Director, the news from the General Administration is that you are asked to attend a meeting." The office director came in to report.

"What meeting? About the epidemic again?" asked Roton.

There have been quite a lot of meetings recently, not only with the Maharashtra General Administration, but also with the Mumbai government.

Rowton spent most of his time in meetings.

Basically, they are all related to the epidemic.

"No, they said that anyone above the rank of Additional Chief of Police needs to be present," said the director.

"Oh, let's prepare the car." Luoton said with a smile.

Additional Director General of Police, there are not many people like this even in the whole of Mabang.

This level of participation in the meeting is considered to be the highest level in a state’s police system.

Roton didn't know what happened, but it was probably something big.

There are still a lot of things to do regarding the epidemic. In Luoton's opinion, most of them are due to these.

After all, their police are an important force in maintaining public order.

Under the ban policy, the police's workload suddenly increased a lot.

Therefore, these leaders need to hold meetings from time to time to discuss the next work direction, assign tasks, etc.

It was still early when Luoton arrived at the General Administration's meeting room.

Several deputy directors were already there, and Rawdon greeted them.

Everyone seemed to be friendly on the surface, but Roton could still sense the alienation in these people's hearts.

Because he is already the Special Director of Police and will be their strong competitor in the future.

Except for a few with whom I have a good relationship, most of them keep a certain distance.

At first, Roton was a little uncomfortable with this situation.

Now that I think about it, it’s nothing.

You can't always make others have a relationship with you, right? That's impossible.

After all, it concerns their respective interests, especially the supreme power of the Mabang Police Headquarters in the future. Who is willing to give in?

As soon as Luoton sat down, the logistics staff brought him tea.

Director Shiva appears last, and this is the same everywhere.

Even the highest-ranking officer has to put on airs.

"Director, what is being discussed at this meeting?" someone asked.

"Yes, Director, the meeting on the epidemic was held yesterday. I thought the next one would be held in a few days."

Everyone was confused about this meeting.

Just now, Luoton also had a chat with a few close friends, and no one knew the content of this meeting.

This made Roton a little curious.

Everyone knows something about what happened in previous meetings.

Even if you don't know, others must know something, and then everyone can share their knowledge and most people can understand it.

This time it was unexpected.

Now everyone started asking questions, and Roden's eyes also turned to Shiva.

Rawdon's seat was at the back among the Special Inspectors of Police.

There's no way around it, positions here are still ranked according to seniority.

Although Rawdon is in charge of the Mumbai Police Department and is the second most powerful police officer after Shiva, in terms of police rank, Rawdon is at the bottom because he has just been promoted to Special Director General of Police.

However, there are some additional police chiefs here, so Rawdon's position is in the upper middle position.

"Everyone, please be patient. This is a call from the Prime Minister's Office." Shiva said with a smile, "They said someone will come over to convey the message, so please be patient. I don't know what it is now."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Shiva say this.

This is a bit strange.

Normally, if there is something, it is the Federal Ministry of the Interior that issues an order or something.

After all, the Federal Ministry of the Interior is the direct superior of the police system.

The Prime Minister's Office gave orders directly to Shiva, which was somewhat like skipping the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Logically speaking, this kind of thing is somewhat against the rules.

But after all, it was an order from the Prime Minister's Office, so Shiva would give it face.

It didn't matter that the other party just asked me to convene a meeting of some senior police officers.

Since Shiva has said so, all we can do is wait patiently.

Half an hour later, eight people finally came in from outside.

When he saw the person coming, Luoton's pupils shrank slightly.

The expressions of the others were similar to Roden's. They were all very surprised.

Because they saw that the person who came in was from the Law Enforcement Bureau.

These guys are so conspicuous. Wearing law enforcement uniforms, everyone can recognize them at a glance.

"Director? They...they said they want to see you!" The office director looked embarrassed behind these people.

He wanted to stop it just now, but unfortunately he failed.

The current law enforcement bureau is very arrogant. Even he, the director of the bureau's office, feels a little scared when he sees them.

As soon as these guys came in, they said they wanted to see the director and others.

And they said they would also attend this meeting.

"Director Nandan, we are here to follow orders." said the leading law enforcement officer.

The attitude is still relatively humble. After all, those here are all senior police officers of the Mabang police.

So, no matter how arrogant these people in the law enforcement bureau are at ordinary times, they have restrained themselves a lot at this time.

Shiva Nandan's face turned pale, and at this time, he finally reacted.

What order from the Prime Minister's Office? It seems that it was just people from the Law Enforcement Bureau who came here.

If they clearly said that it was someone from the law enforcement bureau who came, I'm afraid we wouldn't cooperate so much.

Isn't this just making fun of yourself?

However, for this kind of thing, Shiva can only suppress his anger in his heart.

The Law Enforcement Bureau is now highly valued by the old immortal, and even the Prime Minister's Office is lending a hand to help them.

The other party must be planning something big this time, but even I, the director of the general bureau, didn't know about it.

"What's the matter?" Shiva asked in a deep voice.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on these members of the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Being stared at by so many people, these guys still felt a little uneasy.

However, thinking of the mission they came here for, they quickly put aside these uneasy thoughts.

"We need to ask a few of the police officers here to go back and assist in the investigation." said the leader.

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone present stood up suddenly.

They stared at these guys with fierce eyes.

What the hell? Are you trying to arrest them? Assisting in the investigation? That's a nice term.

The police often do this and are very familiar with it.

Once you go back with them, you basically can't come back.

"How dare you! Where is this place? Is this a place where you can do whatever you want?" Shiva couldn't help but slammed the table and shouted.

This is outrageous.

He actually wanted to arrest someone right in front of me. What does he think of me, the director of the Mabang Police Department?

Even the law enforcement agency cannot humiliate people like this.

It is outrageous that such a thing was hidden from a person like me, the director of the general bureau.

Shiva felt greatly humiliated.

"Director Nandan, we have sufficient evidence that several people are involved in providing convenience for tax evasion for foreign companies. The amount involved is very huge. Please forgive us. We are also performing our official duties. This is an order jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister's Office. I hope Director Nandan will cooperate with us!" The head of the Enforcement Bureau apologized.

He apologized, but his expression was still very determined.

Shiva's expression changed. The other party was using his superior to put pressure on him.

If it was just the Ministry of Finance, Shiva could ignore it.

After all, the Ministry of Finance has no control over this side.

But the other party moved out of the Prime Minister’s Office, which means Lao Xian, and the nature of the situation is different.

Shiva's first reaction was to call the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

But he quickly suppressed it.

There's no way the Federal Ministry of the Interior didn't know about this, right? This matter is of great importance, and the Prime Minister's Office should at least let Ermit know about it.

But the Federal Ministry of the Interior did not inform him, which means that in this matter, the Federal Ministry of the Interior probably acquiesced to the other party's actions.

Thinking of this, Shiva sighed in his heart.

The Ministry of Finance is becoming increasingly powerful, while the Federal Ministry of the Interior has actually stalled.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Federal Ministry of the Interior has not made any statement, so I am just the director of a state bureau, why should I insist? "Who are the people involved?" Shiva asked after a moment of silence.

Hearing this, the head of the law enforcement bureau smiled slightly.

He knew that Shiva must have agreed.

This time he came, he was determined to take the person away. Even if the Mabang General Administration strongly opposed it, he would stick to it.

But now it seems to be much better than I expected.

Shiva is obviously a smart man and he must have thought of the key.

When he came here this time, Director Bowede had already explained it to them.

The person must be arrested, even if it means a conflict with people from the General Administration.

Of course, it would be best if there was no conflict.

After all, a state police department is staffed by senior police officers, all of whom are very capable.

Bowede didn't want to make things out of control.

The head of the law enforcement bureau quickly reported out three names.

The faces of the three people who were reported turned pale instantly.

They actually realized from Shiva’s attitude that he was going to compromise with the Enforcement Bureau.

If there was no compromise, Shiva would have kicked him out long ago.

Just now they didn't know who the law enforcement agency wanted to arrest, but they didn't expect it to be the three of them.

Those whose names were not called secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The current Enforcement Directorate is horrible, just like the old CBI.

In the past, targeting senior officials like these was basically the job of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

When the CBI people show up in front of you and ask you to go back with them to cooperate with the investigation, what does that mean? Everyone knows it.

Now it's the Enforcement Bureau, and they are the same.

"We know nothing and there's nothing to cooperate with." One of the people whose names were called immediately shouted loudly.

"Director, the law enforcement department is going too far."

"Yes, the people in the Ministry of Finance are really overreaching."

The other two also shouted.

They didn't want to surrender and wanted to struggle.

Shiva glanced at them and decided that these three people were not his people.

Therefore, if he was tricked, Shiva wouldn't feel much.

But this is the Mabang Police Headquarters after all. Doesn't he, as the head of the headquarters, have any dignity? If his men were taken away like this, what would happen?

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Shiva said, then stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

"It's okay, go ahead and fight." The leader of the law enforcement bureau said with a smile.

He knew that Shiva must have called the Federal Ministry of Interior.

No matter who you call, the result will not change.

Shiva returned to his office and indeed called the office of the Federal Interior Minister.

Although Shiva thought that Hermite should know about this, if the other party really wanted to arrest someone, he still had to contact the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

He needed the attitude of the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

If the Federal Ministry of the Interior has compromised, then there is nothing left for me to insist on.

By then, he would have an excuse to the outside world, which was the intention from above. As the director of the general bureau, he was also acting in accordance with the law. It was not that he did not want to protect his subordinates, but he really had no choice.

The call was quickly connected and transferred to Hermit.

"Yes, yes, sir, I know what to do." Shiva quickly spoke to Hermite.

After hanging up the phone, Shiva couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Indeed, Hermite knew about it.

He asked himself to cooperate with the Enforcement Agency's operations.

This means that in this matter, the Federal Department of the Interior was outweighed by the Ministry of Finance.

All the above have been compromised, so what else is there to say?

Seeing Shiva coming back, the three guys whose names were called hurriedly shouted: "Chief, we can't let the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau succeed!"

All their hopes now rest on Shiva.

If Shiva, the director of the General Administration, is willing to protect them, they still have hope.

They felt that the three of them could still be rescued.

Shiva just made a phone call, it must have been to the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Can the Federal Department of the Interior allow the Enforcement Agency to mess around?

A little hope arose in their hearts.

However, Shiva's next words obviously disappointed them.

"I have contacted the minister. He said that the Ministry of Finance has already communicated with him. You three should go back with them and cooperate with the investigation." Shiva said lightly.

"Chief, no, you have to save us."

"No, I don't believe it. We are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of the Interior..."

The three looked ashen. They couldn't believe it. Did the higher-ups just give up on them? Did they let the Ministry of Finance and the Law Enforcement Bureau just step on their heads? But Shiva had said so. They knew that Shiva would not say anything nonsense. He must have received orders from above.

In other words, the three of them were doomed.

"Come here, take them away." The leader of the law enforcement bureau waved his hand.

Several people behind him immediately stepped forward and prepared to take the three people away, and their actions were somewhat rough.

"They said they had investigated, and they are still high-ranking officials of the Mabon Police Headquarters. What do you want to do? Do you know what respect is?" Roton said lightly.

He still has a lot of complaints about the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Even if he had the support of the old immortal, he was being too arrogant now.

Can't they arrest people in private? They actually did this.

Let everyone gather together for a meeting, and then arrest people at the meeting.

Is this a warning to these people?

After all, he is now a member of the police system, and this scene made him very uncomfortable.

Roton was not speaking up for those three guys. There must have been various problems with them. It didn't matter if they were arrested. Roton didn't care.

But the Maharashtra police still need to save face.

If these three people were really taken away in a miserable state, it would be a huge disgrace to the Mabang police.

Luoton is now the second-in-command of the Mabon police. If this matter gets out and becomes a big deal, he will be disgraced.

The Law Enforcement Bureau was too humiliating this time, and Roton couldn't stand it anymore.

If we really do nothing, these guys will only become more aggressive.
