Yang Xudong was so angry that he couldn't speak, his face turning completely red.

They further believed that Chen Hui was not suitable to remain in the Northern Shan State, as he was acting too impulsively. How could the country's policies and guidelines be implemented under such circumstances?

"Comrade Chen Hui, are all the people in your provincial department in southern Xinjiang so unruly? Don't you understand what it means to obey orders? This is a decision from above!"

Chen Hui rolled his eyes.

"Director Yang, I said I would follow orders, but there's something I must do before I leave!"

"Besides, I work for the provincial department in Southern Xinjiang. My superior is also from the provincial department. Shouldn't I only retreat after receiving orders from the provincial department?"

Yang Xudong felt like his lungs were about to explode when he heard this.

"I'll call your Director Qi right now!"

In front of Chen Hui, he dialed Qi Zheng's number and put it on speakerphone.

As soon as the call connected, Yang Xudong launched into a tirade of criticism, saying that Chen Hui was too young, that at that age he should have just graduated from police academy, and that it was unbelievable that he was being given such a mission. He warned that if he made a mistake, he would not only lose his own life but also affect the overall situation.

Qi Zheng kept explaining and admitting that he had made some mistakes.

"And then there's Director Qi. Our Foreign Affairs Management Committee has already decided to send someone to take over Comrade Chen Hui's work and order him to leave Aimo. He actually claims he's from the Southern Xinjiang Provincial Department and needs your department to issue the order personally!"

"Director Qi, does it mean that people from your provincial government in Southern Xinjiang don't have to obey orders?"

Chen Hui spoke up from the side.

"Director Yang, I didn't say I disobeyed orders. I only said to leave after rescuing the person. This is the only family member of one of our retired soldiers. We can't let them feel heartbroken, and we can't let them bleed and cry. This is a matter of life and death!"

Qi Zheng was taken aback when he heard this.

Chen Hui had reported this matter to him before.

His previous advice was to tell Chen Hui not to act impulsively, since his current position was too important; any small mistake could have far-reaching consequences. He also worried about Chen Hui's safety, as the Marriott Casino was not a simple place.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xudong became furious again.

"Director Qi, look at this! This is the kind of people your Southern Xinjiang Provincial Department has. They are completely disorganized and undisciplined, and they can't even distinguish between what's important and what's urgent. Is this how your Southern Xinjiang Provincial Department educates its subordinates?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zheng's emotions flared up instantly.

What happened to the people from the provincial department of Southern Xinjiang? They risked their lives to infiltrate outside, enduring countless life-and-death trials, before finally establishing themselves in Aimo and providing a platform for their Foreign Affairs Management Committee.

Otherwise, the Foreign Affairs Management Committee could only dream of getting involved with Ding Tai.

Now he's jumping out to reap the rewards, and even getting angry at them, belittling their heroes to nothing. What kind of logic is that? He's a person too, and he has a temper.

"Director Yang, I think Xiao Hui is right. Human life is of paramount importance, and this is our duty as police officers. How can we stand by and watch someone die, especially when it's a soldier's only family member! Our provincial department in Southern Xinjiang supports his decision!"

Hearing this, Yang Xudong was stunned. He never expected that Qi Zheng, who had been apologizing and acting gently just moments before, would suddenly become a completely different person.

After a moment of stunned silence, he came to his senses and was furious.

"Comrade Qi Zheng, please remember this: we are now implementing national policies, and this is to safeguard the interests of the nation!"

Qi Zheng was also furious.

"Comrade Yang Xudong, I must also remind you that the country and the Party serve the people; this is our principle. Does it mean that for the sake of profit, we should disregard the lives of the people?"

"None of us in the entire provincial government of Southern Xinjiang would do such a thing. If you insist that we give up, we reserve our right to object. You can ask the ministry to give us the order!"

"Even if this order is issued, we can carry it out, but we will still reserve our opinions!"


"That's all, Director Yang. I have other matters to attend to at the provincial department. I'm awaiting orders!"

Qi Zheng didn't give him a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.

At that moment, he was reporting to Xu Qiuping along with Tan Zhigang. Seeing his exasperated appearance, both Tan Zhigang and Xu Qiuping were stunned.

"Director Xu, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"Director Qi, what's wrong?"

Tan Zhigang looked at him with a puzzled expression, as did Xu Qiuping.

"Deputy Director Qi, the organization's evaluation of you has concluded. I have far too many matters on my hands, and I will be stepping down as director next month. You mustn't keep this temper."

Xu Qiuping said slowly.

Everyone in the provincial government of Southern Xinjiang knows that Xu Qiuping is only temporarily acting as the director, and there has been a great deal of personnel reshuffling in Southern Xinjiang in the past two weeks.

Xu Qiuping is about to be promoted to the third-highest position in Southern Xinjiang Province. He will also step down from his position as director of the provincial department, and Qi Zheng will take over as director of the provincial department. Tan Zhigang will also become the executive deputy director.

"Director Xu, I really couldn't help it. The comrades from the Foreign Affairs Management Committee are really..."

Recount what just happened.

Tan Zhigang was even more excited than him after hearing this, because Chen Hui was his apprentice.

"These comrades in charge of foreign affairs are too radical! Xiao Hui has completed so many undercover missions. Without Xiao Hui, could they have made such progress in their work in Northern Shan State? How dare they say such things about us!"

"Old Qi, I support you!"

Xu Qiuping frowned slightly and said slowly.

"What Director Yang said was indeed a bit excessive. We should trust our comrades. The country's policies must be implemented, but we cannot disregard the lives of the people. After all, we are police officers!"

"I also believe that Comrade Chen Hui has accomplished so many tasks excellently, and he will definitely find a solution that satisfies both sides. I support him!"

Inside the casino office.

Yang Xudong was so angry that he was trembling all over. Qi Zheng was actually going against him.

Seeing his expression, Chen Hui was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing this, Yang Xudong stared straight at him.

"Comrade Chen Hui, I must tell you, if your actions lead to an attack or destruction of the casino, you and Director Qi will bear full responsibility!"

"snort!"

Enraged, Yang Xudong left the casino directly, and the two special agents protecting him, unaware of what was going on, quickly followed.

Peng Ming walked in from outside, his face full of doubt.

"Brother Hui, what's wrong with Director Yang from China? He doesn't look well."

"Oh, it's nothing, he's just going through menopause!"

"So we should just ignore him? I saw him leave the casino?"

"No need, he'll come back when he's sober."

This is Aimo, a stranger in this unfamiliar place. He wouldn't dare stay anywhere else, and he hasn't even been given a place to stay yet.
