348: Chapter 348 Interrogation!
Upon learning that Xu Qianli had been taken away by the personnel of the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee under “shuanggui,” a combined investigation and detention procedure, Lin Feng’s spirits imdiately surged.
He leaped into action, summoning the cadres of Qingshan Town and fervently discussed the construction of clean governnt, insinuating that Xu Qianli, that grandson, would not be returning and that all the cadres should now lean toward him.
Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.
Led by Si Cheng, a group of cadres did not give him any face.
Du Rung was unabashed in pointing out that he was rely a Deputy Town Chief and had no right to convene a eting of all cadres in Qingshan Town.
It was just foolish commotion, and she refused to play along.
Du Rung directly walked out on him, followed by Si Cheng, Zhang Tao, and others, who left one by one, striking a harsh blow to Lin Feng’s pride and infuriating him.
Unable to handle the cadres of Qingshan Town, Lin Feng, with frustration burning inside, sought out his cousin Lin Monong.
“Cousin, what do you think I should do?”
“Si Cheng, that old bastard, along with Du Rung and Zhang Tao, those sorts of people, they simply won’t listen to .
How should I deal with them effectively?”
Lin Monong said, “Right now, Xu Qianli has just been taken away under shuanggui by the Disciplinary Committee, and the facts of the matter have not been clarified yet, no final judgnt has been made.
Naturally, they won’t listen to you.
Don’t rush; once Xu Qianli’s issues are cleared up and he is expelled, Qingshan Town will still be under your rule.”
Lin Feng scratched his head, “That does make sense, I’ll listen to you, cousin, and wait.
But I’m a bit worried.
What if Xu Qianli gets released?
After all, that kid has been under shuanggui before and still got out.”
“That’s why I’m saying, we need to make an effort on this issue and give the Disciplinary Committee a hand to investigate all of Xu Qianli’s problems thoroughly.”
“About this matter, I actually can play a role.
I’ve been investigating Xu Qianli recently and have indeed discovered so issues.”
“It was initially intended to confront Xu Qianli with, but now it seems like the perfect ti to hand it over.”
“Xu Qianli, oh Xu Qianli, you’re done for!”
Lin Monong’s face twisted into a sinister smile, having spent ti investigating to topple Xu Qianli and help her cousin rise, she was ready to fuel the fire and see Xu Qianli completely destroyed.
A dossier was quickly passed to the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee through Lin Monong’s hands.
The people from the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee not only took away Xu Qianli and Li Xiaoju from Qingshan Town but also made a trip to the Qingshan Town Center to take away Ding ixin.
Furthermore, they split their forces to Jiang City and Zhongzhou City, taking away several others, including Xu Shuman, Gu Pan, Lan Jiao, and He Lili.
Xu Qianli and the several won were placed in separate hotels in Zhongzhou City for detention, and the interrogation of each individual started imdiately and simultaneously.
Facing Xu Qianli directly was Lu Tianlong, the Vice Secretary of the Zhongzhou City Disciplinary Inspection Committee.
Like Teng Ziyin, Lu Tianlong was a Vice Secretary of the Zhongzhou City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, wielding imnse authority.
Although his reputation was not as notorious as the officialdom enforcer Teng Ziyin, his thods were equally relentless.
He had another identity as well: the biological cousin of the Mayor of Zhongzhou City, Lu Xingtian, which gave him a very strong backing.
This ti, interrogating Xu Qianli, Lu Tianlong personally took charge, staring at Xu Qianli with a predatory grin and spoke in a deep voice.
“Xu Qianli, soone has reported quite a few matters about you to our City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, and we have basically investigated them thoroughly.
The evidence is indisputable.”
“Now, it’s up to you to decide whether to confess and strive for leniency or to obstinately resist.
You need to think very carefully!”
“Consider wisely what you should do.
I advise you not to stubbornly resist!”
“Alright, ti to confess to the problems you’ve committed!”
Xu Qianli spoke out, “I recognize you, Vice Secretary Lu, right?
You say my issues have been investigated clearly.
Then just transfer to the judicial authorities for trial.
What’s the point of this investigation?
Isn’t it unnecessary?
Why not just transfer to the judicial authorities now and save yourself the trouble?”
“You!”
Lu Tianlong suddenly slapped the table and sprang up, his upper body leaning forward as he glared fiercely at Xu Qianli.
“How dare you, Xu Qianli, a re departnt-level cadre, be so reckless in front of , what audacity you have!”
“When I tell you to confess, you better do it obediently, and it will be to your advantage.”
“If you dare to resist desperately and refuse to speak, don’t bla for not being polite, I have a million ways to handle you!”
“And a last piece of advice, confess honestly, or I won’t be so courteous anymore!”
Lu Tianlong’s naked threat was clear; Xu Qianli had to confess today.
His cousin, Lu Xingtian, had given him a firm order that he, Lu Tianlong, must turn Xu Qianli’s case into an ironclad one, no matter what.
Today, by hook or by crook, he had to get this kid to spill the beans about the cris he committed.
If he talked, well and good; if he didn’t, he, Lu Tianlong, would find a way to pry his mouth open!
Faced with Lu Tianlong’s threats, Xu Qianli suddenly gave a faint smile.
“From now on, if you can get a single word out of before you release , I’ll take your surna!”
Having said that, Xu Qianli remained silent, refusing to say anything more.
With a swish, anger erupted from Lu Tianlong.
“Soone, bring the bright light over, I can’t handle him indeed!”
“Kid, you’re asking for it, don’t bla for not being polite!”
On the other side, the interrogations of Li Xiaoju, He Lili, Ding ixin, and others were ongoing.
Lu Tianlong’s cronies pressed them about their relationship with Xu Qianli, whether there were any improper dealings or relationships, but unfortunately, they could get nothing out of them.
These won stuck to their guns, infuriating Lu Tianlong, who finally grew ruthless and ordered the arrest of Sun Yan, Vice County Magistrate of Jiang City, to launch an offensive and look for a breakthrough.
The actions of the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee caused a major uproar in Qingshan Town and even in Jiang City, with the officialdom keeping a close watch on the matter, waiting to see how the situation would unfold.
Everyone knew that it was a critical ti for the two Deputy County Magistrates, Zeng Changyun and Sun Yan, who were vying for the position of Deputy County Magistrate.
Xu Qianli played a vital role in this matter and could very likely sway the situation.
At this juncture, the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee’s heavy-handed treatnt of Xu Qianli, which involved Sun Yan, was likely related to the Deputy County Magistrate position.
This ant Zeng Changyun was involved too, and behind Zeng Changyun stood Lan Qianrong, and behind Lan Qianrong stood Lu Xingtian.
Lu Tianlong, the cousin of Lu Xingtian, conducted the interrogation on Xu Qianli, and all these connections made sense.
Indeed, due to the intense competition for the Deputy County Magistrate position, Zeng Changyun and his backers intended to use forceful ans to end it all and forcibly secure the position.
Everyone was aware that who would win between Sun Yan and Zeng Changyun was crucial, affecting not only the current power balance between Ge Changhong and Lan Qianrong in Jiang City’s officialdom but also who would control the County Governnt after next year’s reshuffling.
If Zeng Changyun took control, then Lan Qianrong would dominate, and there would be no place left for Xu Qianli; Ge Changhong’s faction would be completely dood.
But if Sun Yan ca to power, then next year, it could be her standing up to Lan Qianrong.
With Xu Qianli’s potential rise, there was a chance to overthrow Lan Qianrong.
With Lan Qianrong having played a vicious card, it was now to be seen whether Xu Qianli could handle it.
If he managed to deal with it, that was fine; otherwise, he would be finished, and so would Ge Changhong.
