Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 540 Compensation for Handing Over Power

"Madam Minister, should we also protest against the direct appointment of Vides as deputy director?" someone else asked.

"How can we protest?" Nirmala glanced at the man and said, "Vides has the power. Besides, Rodon is the director of the Delhi branch. It's common for deputy directors to be directors of important branches, so it's hard to refute that. Even the distribution of power among the first deputy directors is in the hands of Vides. As the director, he has the power to adjust the matters under the responsibilities of the deputy directors. But Rodon can't have this power. It's best to let Aruda oppose it. He is the direct party. You should prepare carefully and figure out how to provoke Aruda to intervene. As long as there is a major dispute or unrest within the CBI, I will have an excuse to intervene."

Everyone soon understood.

Nirmala has a point.

After all, Nirmala still has to estimate Ermit’s feelings.

We need to make some big moves within the Central Bureau of Investigation. A conflict between the director and the most senior deputy director is definitely big news.

At the same time, Nirmala can use this as an excuse to call on her ministers to put pressure on Ermit, and then even the Prime Minister will stand on her side.

Now the key figure is Aruda.

Although Nirmala doesn't like this guy, she is willing to give Aruda some benefits as long as it is beneficial to the BJP.

Arruda Residence.

Late at night, quite a few people came out of his house.

Only after these people left did peace gradually return.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked into a study.

"Are they all gone?" Aruda sat on the chair, his face rosy, and he looked very energetic and not sick at all.

"Yes, Father, they've all left," said Aruda's eldest son. "They're all very insistent on seeing you. Father, are you really not going to intervene? This CBI meeting stripped you of all your authority. Vides has gone too far this time."

"Shut up." Aruda said with a gloomy face.

"Father, I'm unwilling to accept this anyway." Aruda's eldest son insisted, "Then why should Rodon take away the power in your hands?"

Although his father has always been the deputy director, he still has the greatest power among the many deputy directors of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Such a position still brought great benefits to their family.

But then, the greatest power in his hands was about to be taken away and given to a young man like Rotun, which made him very dissatisfied.

"I know what Sharif must have said to you. You used to be his subordinate, but he is retired now. To put it bluntly, he is nothing. Why should you care about him?" the eldest son continued.

A few days ago, Sharif came to see his father, and he didn't know what Sharif said to his father.

But now he could probably guess that his father's current reaction must be related to Sharif's visit that night.

"It's fine if you just say these things at home, but if you leak them to others, I'll break your legs." Aruda's eyes suddenly became fierce.

This made his eldest son involuntarily look away, he didn't dare to look his father in the eye.

Aruda naturally has the final say at home, and even his own children dare not contradict him.

His eldest son was too angry this time. His father was indifferent to losing power. He could not tolerate such a reaction.

"Dad, I won't tell anyone, I promise." The eldest son hurriedly assured.

Aruda sighed secretly.

He still trusted his eldest son and knew he knew his limits and wouldn't talk nonsense outside.

"Originally, I didn't want to tell you more about these things, but if I don't tell you anything, you will start to have wild thoughts." Aruda pondered for a moment and said, "Some things are not what they seem."

"Father, is there something else going on here?" the eldest son asked, his heart stirring. "But you've truly lost your power, haven't you?"

"Yes, I have lost a lot of power." Aruda smiled slightly and said, "But they will give me some compensation later."

"What kind of compensation can make up for the lack of this power?" The eldest son was a little confused.

Should he let his father be the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation?
But he rejected this idea as soon as it came to his mind.

There is no chance for his father to become the director, after all, Vides is younger than his father.

Now that his father has retired, Vides can still serve as director for a few more years.

"Of course," Aruda said, "like becoming a branch chief."

Hearing this, Aruda's eldest son was stunned for a moment.

"Father, did I hear correctly?" Aruda's eldest son asked, his face full of confusion. "Didn't you have the opportunity to become a state branch director before, but you always refused? How can this be considered compensation? Compared to your losses, it's completely disproportionate."

"That depends on which state's branch director you are," Aruda said. "What were those states like before? Middle-lower-level. While you could become a local tyrant in those places, how much benefit could you really reap? I'm afraid it's not as comfortable as my job as deputy director. While I have fewer things to manage, I still get a lot of benefits."

Aruda's eldest son thought about it and realized that the previous branch directors were indeed ordinary people with average economic performance.

In comparison, there is indeed no problem for his father to be the deputy director at the headquarters.

After all, his father, the deputy director, still has a lot of power, so he doesn't want to make trouble.

"Could it be a particularly good state this time?" Aruda's son asked excitedly. "Which state? Delhi and Maharashtra are definitely the best, but those two are unlikely. In other economically developed states, the branch directors seem to be holding their positions relatively securely. Who would give up their positions?"

Aruda's eldest son is relatively familiar with some of the personnel of the Central Bureau of Investigation. After all, his father is the deputy director. It is normal for him to know these things through the influence of his father.

In his opinion, the branch chiefs in those American countries are very powerful and have complicated connections behind them.

If it were simple, how could one get such an important position?
"It's definitely something you can't imagine." Aruda laughed. "Of course, this doesn't guarantee success. Just wait and see. Stay home for now. Also, tell your brothers and sisters to stay home and don't run around or talk nonsense."

Although Sharif told him these things, no one can guarantee that it will succeed until the end.

If it works, he can accept it even if he doesn't have the power of the first deputy director.

Of course, if that fails, he still has the authority of the first deputy director at the headquarters.

All we can say is that Roton was sniped when he was about to take the throne.

Anyway, for me, all I have to do is wait and not get involved in anything else.

Moreover, he did not want to get involved in these matters, which involved Nirmala and the BJP. If something went wrong, he would be in big trouble.

The best thing to do now is to stay out of it.

Even if others guess that I am faking illness, what difference does it make?
Being in a bad mood is also an illness. Who can say anything about it? The next day, Nirmala learned about Aruda's attitude.

Last night, she had these people go find Aruda.

Unfortunately, none of these people saw Aruda.

They said that Aruda needed rest and quiet and should not be disturbed.

what is this?
Nirmala also asked someone to find out, and all signs indicated that there should be nothing wrong with Aruda, he was just pretending to be sick.

It is not normal to pretend to be sick at this time.

Vides has stripped him of most of his powers, and a normal person would have to jump even if he was sick.

But Aruda didn't do anything like that.

I'm afraid Aruda accepted this result.

This should be because Vides persuaded Aruda.

If this is the case, then there is a high possibility that Rodon will get Aruda's power.

Nirmala is still very wary of Rodon.

She hadn't felt at ease since Rawdon went to the CBI.

If Rotun's power continues to expand, it will be much more difficult for the Enforcement Bureau to put pressure on the CBI.

She could ignore Vides, but she couldn't ignore Rotten's influence.

Don't talk about her, she knows very well that even an old immortal cannot ignore the influence of this kid Rotun.

She quickly conveyed the order to the people she supported at the Central Bureau of Investigation.

So at the meeting on the third day, various objections were raised to Vides' proposal three days earlier.

It can be said that there is a lot of opposition.

Even some people from originally neutral factions spoke out and expressed their opposition.

Vides sat in the first seat, listening to these people's various reasons for opposition with a calm expression.

Of course, some people simply oppose it without giving any sufficient reasons.

In short, the conference room is very noisy today.

Rotun sat in his seat and just watched coldly.

This matter was originally directly related to him, but he said nothing.

Because he knew that Vides must have his own plans, and he just had to wait and see the results.

During these three days, Rodon was actually also paying attention to Aruda.

Arruda has not shown up and did not come today.

He claimed that he was recuperating.

In fact, Rodon already knew that Sharif had already dealt with Aruda.

At that time, Vides also mentioned this matter to him, so that he didn't have to worry about Aruda.

In order for Aruda to not object, it must be that Vides or Sharif promised Aruda some benefits.

This is a huge benefit, as it will prevent Aruda from showing up this time.

If he were present, he might become the target of many people's calculations.

For example, on Nirmala's side, they definitely want to drag Aruda into the water.

For Arruda, not meeting anyone this time might be a good choice.

Of course, the most important thing is the benefits given to him by Vides and Sharif.

Otherwise, no one would be willing to give up such great power for no reason.

Central Bureau of Investigation, Maharashtra branch.

Suddenly, a group of people broke into the police station, and the leader of the group immediately showed his ID.

"The General Administration's Inspectorate is performing its duties!"

Those who originally wanted to step forward to stop it were all shocked.

This group of people went directly to the director's office.

The branch chief who succeeded Rawdon was in his office and was a little surprised when the door was suddenly pushed open.

The people down there are so rude. They didn't announce anything and didn't knock on the door?
In fact, he didn't know that the people from the Inspection Department didn't even give the people below time to inform them, they just broke in directly.

Before the new director could react, the leader directly showed a document and said, "Director Sida, you are involved in an occupational crime. Please come back with us for investigation."

The new director, Sida, opened his eyes wide. He didn't expect these guys wanted to investigate him. Were they going to arrest him?

Sida was no stranger to the guy in front of him.

He is from the headquarters' inspection office, and his main job is to investigate crimes committed by internal personnel.

But he was already the director of the Mabang branch, and he didn't care much about these people.

In addition, his current backers are Nirmala and the BJP.

Even if it was Vides, he wasn't very scared.

So he never thought that there would be a day when he would be investigated.
