Chapter 537 Paving the Way for Roden

If Vedras is arrested, how will that make the Indian public view the CBI?

If Vides was arrested, what about the old people in the Central Bureau of Investigation? If the People's Party took advantage of the situation, the old people in the Central Bureau of Investigation would be no better than Vides. Wouldn't they be threatened by the People's Party?

Although the relationship between him and the People's Party is pretty good, these relationships often become ineffective in the face of huge interests.

For Sharif, he still trusts the Central Bureau of Investigation the most.

The reason why the senior officials of the People's Party maintain a certain good relationship with me is not because of me, but because I retired from the Central Bureau of Investigation.

In fact, there is still the influence of the Central Bureau of Investigation behind him.

This is why so many people value me and fear me.

If the Central Bureau of Investigation is completely overturned and trampled under the feet of the Enforcement Bureau, then its own value will not be that great.

The guys from the People's Party may even cause trouble for me, not to mention being my brothers. People are so realistic.

Sharif naturally couldn't let this happen.

"What's too much? Haven't they always been like this? Especially in the second term, look at their actions. Whoever they don't like is doomed." Vides sighed.

"What do you think?" Sharif asked with a frown.

"I can also go directly to the Enforcement Bureau," said Vides.

After hearing this, Sharif remained silent for a while.

"Is it wrong?" Seeing Sharif like this, Vides couldn't help but ask again.

"Do you think the CBI, given its current situation, can defeat the Enforcement Agency?" Sharif asked.

Vides was silent.

He understood what Sharif meant. The Enforcement Directorate had the support of the People's Party and was too arrogant. The Central Bureau of Investigation was under great pressure.

Even if he gave the order to arrest some people from the law enforcement bureau, he would probably encounter a lot of opposition within the bureau, and it would be difficult to speak with a unified voice to the outside world.

Now a large part of the voices within the Central Bureau of Investigation are focusing on self-protection and trying to avoid conflict with the Enforcement Bureau.

In Vides' view, this is actually a sign of cowardice.

"I think even if it's some of your trusted subordinates, arresting some middle and lower-level members of the law enforcement bureau, it may not be a big problem. But if you arrest the top members of the law enforcement bureau, even the deputy director, director and the like, will they dare?" Sharif continued to ask.

"This is indeed a big problem," Widders did not deny.

"So your idea won't work," Sharif said.

"Well, if that's the case, I really can't think of a better solution for the moment." Sharif sighed.

"It is very difficult for the outside world and the law enforcement agency," Sharif said.

Vides' heart moved.

What does it mean that it is very difficult to deal with external affairs? Does Sharif mean that it is not difficult to deal with internal affairs?

But how to deal with it internally? What does this have to do with it internally? "I don't quite understand what you mean," Vides asked.

"If you really want to hear my advice, I do have a way, but I don't know if you are willing to do it." Sharif said with a faint smile.

"I'm asking for your advice sincerely." Vides said hurriedly.

Sharif's words made Vides feel more at ease.

He is a little clueless now.

After all, his original plan was rejected by Sharif. Sharif was right. His plan was difficult to implement.

Now Sharif has a solution, so he will definitely listen to it.

Sharif has been in charge of the Central Bureau of Investigation for much longer than me, and I am still far inferior to him.

It would definitely be beneficial to seek more advice from such a senior.

Otherwise, he would not have come to Sharif today. Isn't this hoping to get Sharif's guidance?

"Actually, I said that last time." Sharif smiled.

"What did you say last time?" Vides was stunned.

He reacted quickly.

The last time was about the selection of the director of the Delhi branch. At that time, I decided to transfer Roton over.

It now seems that this move was very successful.

The Delhi branch chief is still in his hands.

Even giving up the position of director of the Mabang branch would be acceptable.

Of course, Sharif also mentioned a massive purge within the CBI at the time.

In fact, Vides did not do this completely.

The purge during this period has eliminated many people who were supported by Nirmala.

However, the scale of this number is still not comparable to the scale mentioned by Sharif at that time.

Sharif wanted to carry out a major purge of the Central Bureau of Investigation, and this was just a small move on his part.

"Clean up all the people related to Nirmala?" Vides frowned and asked, "Isn't this too much of a commotion?"

"What? What are you worried about?" Sharif asked. "If you want to target the Enforcement Bureau and arrest people there, that's not easy. But now it's your turn to clean up the internal affairs. As the director, you have the power to do so. Even if Nirmala is unwilling, so what? You have already done it. If you clear one person out, you will offend them. It's better to offend them completely. Anyway, they will retaliate against you."

Vides couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I have to say, Sharif is right.

This time, I cleaned out a lot of people who supported Nirmala, which led to Nirmala's preparation to take ruthless action against me.

Originally, I had controlled the scale this time, thinking that this would not irritate Nirmala too much.

I didn't expect the other party to react so strongly.

Come to think of it, the other party must have disliked me for a long time, and my action just gave them an excuse to take action.

Even if this incident had not happened, Nirmala would definitely have created other troubles for him.

After all, the People's Party obviously wants to get itself out of office.

"Yes, I was still a little hesitant," said Vides.

"Well said, you are too cautious and lack courage." Sharif said in a deep voice.

This made Vides a little confused.

Is Sharif criticizing himself?

The tone is a bit harsh.

Sharif rarely speaks in this tone since he became director.

"Vides, don't you think it would be enough to just get rid of those who support Nirmala?" Sharif continued to ask without waiting for Vides to answer.

"This?" Vides was very confused. What else did Sharif want to say? "Not only those who support Nirmala, but also those who oppose you in the Central Bureau of Investigation, all should be cleared out." Sharif's face was full of murderous intent.

Such murderous aura made Vides feel a chill.

He seemed to have gone back to the old days, when Sharif was the CBI director.

Of course, even when Sharif was the head of government, things were rarely like this.

Unless something really makes Sharif furious.

Obviously, Sharif must have thought carefully before saying this.

"Even some of the neutral people in normal times can be eliminated if you think some of them may oppose you in the future or make things difficult for you," Sharif said coldly.

Vides' heart was trembling.

Is Sharif crazy?

If this happens, it would be like a magnitude 10 earthquake for the Central Bureau of Investigation.

At least one-third of the personnel within the Central Bureau of Investigation will be purged.

Of course, most of them are still aimed at middle and senior levels, especially senior levels.

For example, deputy directors and directors of branches in various states.

It's too exaggerated that one-third of these senior executives were cleared out.

Vides now understands Sharif's intention.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

That is to eliminate all discordant voices within the Central Bureau of Investigation.

This way, the Central Bureau of Investigation can concentrate its strength to fight against the Enforcement Directorate and even the BJP.

The morale of the Central Bureau of Investigation is now unsettled, especially with the constant infiltration from Nirmala's side, which has caused some of the originally neutral people to waver.

Not to mention some of those who had originally opposed him, many of whom sided with Nirmala.

This trend of surrender is becoming more and more obvious.

This time, he cleaned out those who supported Nirmala just to eliminate the influence as much as possible and to deter other people who had such thoughts.

However, even if he could intimidate these people this time and prevent them from continuing to rely on Nirmala.

However, these people have ulterior motives and may pretend to obey some of the policies they have issued, or even refuse to implement them.

This kind of thing will definitely happen, and it will undermine the authority of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Internal strife and internal friction are extremely terrible.

If we are not united on our side, it will become more difficult to fight against the law enforcement agency.

"I've thought about it before," said Widders, "but it's too unrealistic. If I really want to do this, I probably won't be able to do my job as director."

Vides smiled bitterly.

If he really exercises the power of director, he can still do it.

After all, the CBI is a privileged structure and he, as its director, wields enormous power.

And which of the people below can stand up to scrutiny?

As long as we investigate, we can find all kinds of evidence to catch them.

Once we get our internal affairs in order, it will be basically difficult for others to interfere.

But just because it's difficult to interfere doesn't mean others can't put pressure on him.

The People's Party will definitely not agree with me doing this.

So, even if he could withstand the pressure and do this, he would probably be forced to step down in the end.

Because his behavior offended too many people. Among those members of the Central Bureau of Investigation who were purged by him, especially the senior ones, which one was simple?

There are people behind them, and various complicated networks of relationships.

With so many people joining together, how can I keep my position as director?

The director's privileges are great, but there is a limit.

"Yes, you can't do your job as director anymore," Sharif agreed.

Vides stared at Sharif in surprise.

Why do you propose such a method? This method is not feasible at all.

"Vides, now that you are being targeted by the People's Party, it may be difficult for you to keep your position as director." Sharif knew some of the doubts in Vides' mind and couldn't help but explain, "Even if you stop now, they will not let you go."

Vides began to react.

Is this a way to throw yourself into a desperate situation? "You have to leave yourself a way out," Sharif sighed.

Vides's expression turned a little ugly.

If the People's Party brings me down from power, my fate will certainly not be good.

The best outcome would probably be losing his position as director.

If things get worse, you will be held accountable for various crimes and may even be thrown into jail.

Vides could not accept such an outcome.

"A way out?" Vides let out a long breath and said, "If I want to leave myself a way out, I shouldn't offend so many people."

If he had followed what Sharif had done just now, he would have offended even more people, and wouldn't his death have been even more miserable?

Sharif gave himself a bad idea.

But Sharif said this method in front of him, which means that he was really doing it for his own good.

But for a moment he couldn't think of anything here that could be beneficial to him or give him a way out.

"Do you think you can retreat now?" Sharif sneered. "Even if you give in now, do you think they will let you go? They will only think you are weak and easy to bully, and will intensify their efforts to deal with you. Don't forget Bowede. How can the grudge between you and him be resolved so easily? At that time, you had more power than him, and he had to beg for mercy in a humble manner. And now? His power is no less than yours, and even higher than yours. Look at the actions of the Enforcement Bureau. Many of them are directed at you by Bowede. If one day you are really not the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, do you think you can enjoy your old age after retirement?"

Sharif's words made Vides' face turn pale.

It has to be said that these were also some of the concerns that Wides had after he couldn't sleep at midnight.

Now he is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation and holds great power. Most people cannot do anything to him.

But what if I am no longer the director? Besides, even if I am the director now, the People's Party will want to target me.

My current situation is very dangerous.

With this guy named Bo Wade around, if I really fall into his hands, my end will definitely be very miserable.

"What do you think I should do?" Vides was a little confused by Sharif's words.

This hasn't happened in many years.

Especially as his position became higher and his power grew, there were very few things that could make him lose his composure like this.

"Roton." Sharif finally stated his purpose.

"Roden?" Vides murmured.

"Yes, it's Rotun." Sharif sighed and said, "If you want to ensure your safety after you step down as director, you can only rely on Rotun. In fact, old guys like me will also have to rely on Rotun in the future. I don't want to see a declining Central Bureau of Investigation, a Central Bureau of Investigation that serves as a dog for others. If that situation really comes to pass, we have offended too many people when we were in office, and I'm afraid they will all pounce on us and bite us. The Central Bureau of Investigation must be strong, so that we can ensure that we have no worries in our old age."

Vides's expression changed again and again.

He was very conflicted.

At this time, how could he not understand Sharif's meaning?

Sharif's proposal for him to carry out a large-scale internal purge was actually to pave the way for Rodon.
