Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

Night was falling.

Not far away, in a small building, the light was still on in a room on the second floor.

This is Zhao Dagong's residence.

At this moment, in the study, sitting behind his desk, he hung up the phone, his face gloomy. He slowly lit a cigarette, and as the smoke rose, he said, "Just now, Director Sima of the Public Security Bureau went there."

"Sima Shenhe? Where did he go?"

Not far from the room, at another table, a middle-aged woman was looking at a computer, writing something with a pen in her hand. She was taken aback when she heard this.

This person is Liu Lulu, Zhao Dagong's current wife.

"Where did you go?"

Zhao Dagong frowned, glanced at her, and said, "You can't even manage a garment factory, and now you're getting involved in real estate. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"whispering sound"

Liu Lulu rolled her eyes, tossed aside her pen, stood up, crossed her arms, and went to the window.

"You mean, Director Sima went to see the new Secretary Chu?"

"Didn't he refuse to meet with anyone after today's meeting except for the secretary-general, postponing everything until tomorrow morning? Could he possibly meet with a mere department head?"

"A junior department head?"

"Hehehe, you have quite the nerve. At the very least, he's the director of the provincial public security bureau, the vice governor of the province, a vice ministerial-level official. If I were to disregard my position as a member of the Standing Committee, I would be on the same level as him."

"You don't even deserve to see him if it weren't for me. That's just womanly thinking!"

Zhao Dagong said coldly.

"Wow, you're amazing!"

Liu Lulu turned around and gave a disdainful smile.

"I've asked him several times, but he hasn't shown any appreciation or consideration for you?"

"madness!"

These words pierced Zhao Dagong's heart like a thorn.

Although he is the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he is one of the nominal superiors of the public security, procuratorate, and courts.

But Sima Shenhe never gave him any face.

And then there's the procuratorate. Major issues are reported directly to the provincial party committee, while minor issues are reported according to regulations. They don't even try to keep him informed. It's really frustrating.

It was here that he gained a foothold. If he were in Bianxi, would Zhao Da have faced such a situation?

"Get out!"

"I'm warning you, stay out of things you shouldn't get involved in. If anything goes wrong, I'll be the first to turn my family against you."

Liu Lulu gave him a cold look. Seeing that he was really angry, she just pursed her lips and swayed her hips as she left.

In the study, Zhao Dagong finished his cigarette, sat quietly for a few minutes, and then made a phone call.

He then put on his coat and left the yard.

A few minutes later, he arrived at Zhao Zhi's house.

The two sat on the sofa.

Zhao Zhi lit a cigarette, squinted, and said, "Comrade Dagong, you can't sit still anymore?"

I feel a little uneasy.

Zhao Dagong nodded. "Governor, do you think he might have designs on the political and legal system, since he only met with Sima Shenhe?"

"So why do you think he only met with Sima Shenhe after the three agencies—the public security bureau, the procuratorate, and the court—arrived together that afternoon?"

Zhao Zhi did not answer, but instead asked a question.

"You mean Ding Long?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dagong immediately understood.

"It can only be him."

Zhao Zhi gave a cold laugh.

"Heh, when the old boss was still in power, he demoted Sima Shenhe. Did he really swallow that insult?"

"Sima Shenhe was promoted by Ding Long. Now that Ding Long is gone, we must make arrangements for his future."

Zhao Dagong narrowed his eyes, puzzled, and asked, "I haven't heard of him having any connection with Ding Long?"

"It's normal that you don't know. As far as I know, they met at school. Moreover, an old classmate of mine at the Ministry of Public Security said that Qi Tongwei investigated Sima Shenhe's core information."

Zhao Zhi said in a deep voice,

"That's why I've always opposed your efforts to win over Sima Shenhe. He's been with Ding Long for eight years, eight years of hard work, and he's been brought up step by step. Even if that person hadn't come, he wouldn't have gotten close to him."

"Furthermore, the reason I made the difficult decision to decline the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was also due to this consideration."

Zhao Dagong's gaze sharpened, and he asked in a low voice, "Hasn't Sima Shenhe's actions today set an example for Ding Long's old faction?"

"If that were all, that would be fine. What I'm worried about are those who don't usually talk much, but who do speak with us."

Zhao Zhi sighed deeply and leaned back on the sofa.

"How do we fight?"

"The name Chu Shijun is as imposing as Mount Tai. Any demons or monsters who dare to cause trouble will surely come to a bad end."

"Moreover, you may not know this, but Qi Tongwei is currently being heavily promoted by Zhou Mutong and is running for the rotating chairmanship of the International Police Association. He has already led a team to Black State to guide police development work in the past two days."

"Gao Yuliang was equally extremely pleased with himself."

"Liang Qunfeng's eldest son is also waiting for Chu Shijun to come and guide his work..."

"..."

"Tell me, how do we compete?"

Zhao Dagong remained silent for a moment.

Indeed, in this situation, even a pig would know who to follow to get enough to eat.

How could he have been so blinded by greed and come here?

After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhi said, "That's settled then. Everyone should behave yourselves for now. We'll see how things go when we report to them tomorrow. As for the rest, let's wait and see what happens."

"it is good."

Zhao Dagong knew that this was the only way.

What else can we do?

Back in Bianxi, he could find something to make Zhong Mingren so angry that he ended up in the hospital, but can he do that now?

Even if he hadn't gone in first.

He believed that if he dared, his name would be on someone's desk and talked about in half a month.

There's no need to produce anything substantial; just saying a few words is enough.

"Governor, you should get some rest. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Well, Comrade Dagong, take care."

Zhao Zhi got up and saw him off, lingering at the door.

After walking out of the courtyard, Zhao Dagong looked back and saw that the lights on the first floor were off.

In the end, he didn't voice his concerns. After smoking a cigarette on the spot, he quickly returned to his home, took out a piece of paper, sat blankly for more than ten minutes, and then began to write.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After getting up, Chu Shijun washed up briefly and then practiced the Five Animal Frolics exercise, which he had been practicing for many years, twice in the courtyard.

At 7:20, car number 000001 parked at the entrance, followed by Li Jiageng's provincial party committee car number 10, and two police cars in front and behind.

"Secretary Chu."

Li Jiageng waited quietly for Chu Shijun to stop before stepping forward and whispering.

"Comrade Jiageng has arrived."

Chu Shijun opened his eyes, looked at the car outside, and said, "Let's go then."

"Secretary Chu, breakfast has been prepared at the provincial party committee canteen. We're leaving now and are expected to arrive at the provincial party committee at 7:45. The work report is scheduled to begin at 8:20. The General Office has already notified everyone."

When Chu Shijun came out with the bag, Li Jiageng stepped forward to take it and said something beside him.

"it is good."

Reaching the car, Li Jiageng quickly stepped forward, opened the door, and gestured protectively with his hand. After Chu Shijun got into the car, he waved to the police car ahead and quickly returned to his own vehicle.

After everyone was seated, the vehicles set off smoothly.

After leaving the residential area, several ordinary-looking cars quickly followed from all sides, surrounding Chu Shijun's car.

At 7:46, the car arrived at the Provincial Party Committee.

After having a simple working meal in the cafeteria, Chu Shijun rested for a while before heading to his office.

"Hello, Secretary Chu!"

Good morning, Secretary Chu!
