Going up against him won't do you any good. If you lose, that's fine too. You can just admit defeat and let the matter drop.
But if you win, it will be even more troublesome, and you'll have a grudge against them! These pampered rich kids are vindictive and will seek revenge sooner or later.
Moreover, they have powerful backgrounds and high starting points in their careers, and they are often able to hold high positions in the future. If such a person sets their sights on you, you may not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of your life.
Having been in officialdom for a long time, Wen Hao was long past the age of youthful vigor and impetuosity. Naturally, he was much more tactful and thoughtful in his actions.
After much deliberation, Wen Hao finally spoke, "It seems there's nothing wrong with Du Qian. If he were truly a member of the underground Communist Party, would he dare to go to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department? His judgment is actually quite good; he chose a hothead like Ning Zhiheng! I wonder how much money he spent to smooth things over with this Team Leader Ning!"
It was only young and strong officers like Ning Zhiheng who, for a little money and a few flattering words, were willing to stand up and challenge us regardless of the consequences.
"Forget it, he's lucky this time. Let him go!"
Luo Qing, however, was filled with resentment and said angrily, "This Military Intelligence Investigation Department is too arrogant. They came to our door and took our guns. They even said we were suspicious. My men explained to them repeatedly before they made this call. Team leader, we can't just let this go!"
"Forget it, let's not argue about short-term gains! The Military Intelligence Investigation Department is currently riding high and enjoys the leader's deep trust. They have already firmly gained the upper hand over us. If we really make a scene, we won't gain anything."
Regarding this matter further, we each have our own version of events, and it's difficult to determine who is right. We believe it's related to the underground Communist Party, which falls within our jurisdiction. They, on the other hand, could argue that the police department is under their jurisdiction. Each side has its own version of events, making it a very confusing situation.
Besides, it's not worth making an enemy of a pampered brat like Ning Zhiheng over such a trivial matter. You'll understand when you reach my age. A moment of pleasure can lead to endless trouble!
Ning Zhiheng was calculating the time in his office. He figured Wang Shucheng's operation should be over by now. The Party Affairs Investigation Department should have received the news by then; he wanted to see their reaction.
There are essentially two possible reactions. First, the Party Affairs Investigation Department might not be able to swallow this insult and would escalate the situation, reporting it directly to the higher-ups in the Military Investigation Department. Naturally, the higher-ups in that department would then call to inquire about the details, and the department would be prepared with its own explanation!
The second possibility is that the Party Affairs Investigation Department doesn't want to escalate the matter and wants to resolve it privately with him. In this case, they would contact him directly and resolve the matter without causing a commotion, which is the best outcome Ning Zhiheng envisioned.
Just then, the phone on his desk rang. Ning Zhiheng picked it up, and sure enough, an unfamiliar voice came from the other end.
"Is this Team Leader Ning? I am Wen Hao, the team leader of the Third Intelligence Team of the Nanjing Investigation Office of the Central Party Affairs Investigation Department."
"So it's Team Leader Wen. May I ask what brings you here?" Ning Zhiheng said calmly and unhurriedly.
"Team Leader Ning, I heard from my subordinates that there was a slight conflict and misunderstanding with your men. That's why I contacted you to see if we can resolve this issue properly," Wen Hao said in a gentle tone.
Ning Zhiheng was secretly pleased. The other party's words meant that they did not want to make a big deal out of it and planned to handle it discreetly.
"I wonder which matter Team Leader Wen is referring to?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
"Well, my men are currently investigating a case related to the underground Communist Party, which involves Du Qian, the chief of the Xicheng Police Station. Is there some misunderstanding between us because of this?" Wen Hao said.
"So that's what Team Leader Wen was talking about. There might be a misunderstanding! We received a report from our subordinate, Du Qian, the chief of the Xicheng Police Station, that suspicious individuals had been appearing near their home recently, so I sent people down to investigate."
I never expected to have a conflict with your department. Here's what we'll do: if the Party Affairs Investigation Department does indeed suspect that Du Qian is an underground party member, our Military Intelligence Investigation Department will not tolerate it.
However, since he is subordinate to our Military Investigation Department, could we conduct our own investigation and then report the results to your department?” Ning Zhiheng’s words were a mix of evasion and sarcasm, laced with veiled barbs!
