In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Chen Jingcheng's face was very ugly; he had no choice but to be.

Judging from the current situation, it's clear that Wang Liye and his associates from the Discipline Inspection Commission have been waiting here for more than just three or five minutes.

As the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and a section-level cadre, he certainly knew people in the county government compound. Besides, he didn't need any acquaintances. Couldn't he have just sat in a meeting room? Why did he have to stand in front of so many people and attract their attention?

Do we even need to guess what this means or what they're thinking?

Although I already knew I had to get through this, I never expected the other party to go to such extremes.

Just then, Wang Liye arrived in front of Chen Jingcheng with his men.

Before Wang Liye could speak, Chen Jingcheng said indifferently, "Deputy Secretary Wang, are you here to arrest me?"

"What a big fuss! And is it really necessary to make such a fuss and disrupt other people's work?"

"I really don't know, are you afraid I, Chen Jingcheng, will run away, or are you afraid I won't run away!"

Wang Liye glanced at Chen Jingcheng, and had to admit that he was feeling a little apprehensive.

He also felt that it was inappropriate to do so, but the reason he did it was because the county party secretary, Chen Mingyuan, demanded that it be done in this way to curb the unhealthy tendencies among all the county's cadres.

Wang Liye knew perfectly well whether the crackdown was aimed at curbing the corrupt practices of all the county's cadres or was specifically intended to show Li Feitu, but he had no choice.

"Chen Jingcheng, I know you have resentment in your heart, but you have to endure it."

"Who told you to make a mistake? Okay, enough chit-chat, let's follow the procedure."

As he spoke, Wang Liye showed his work ID and then began to follow the procedures of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

He wanted to use this method to prove his compliance and legitimacy.

Meanwhile, in Zhao Mingyuan's office on the third floor, Zhao Mingyuan and Deputy Secretary Wang stood by the window watching this scene. This was, in itself, a play they had directed.

Deputy Secretary Wang said with a smile, "Secretary, now everyone knows that Chen Jingcheng was taken away in front of the county committee compound. Tell me, did Li Feitu tip Chen Jingcheng off?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingyuan didn't look at Deputy Secretary Wang and directly said, "Reporting a message? It's unnecessary. Even if we did, it would be pointless. Both Chen Jingcheng and Li Feitu know very well that the Discipline Inspection Commission taking Chen Jingcheng away is a foregone conclusion. Running away? Where could Chen Jingcheng possibly run to?"

"Besides, based on what I know of him, he won't run away!"

"However, you also think that I did this to undermine Li Feitu's confidence, deliberately humiliate Chen Jingcheng, and retaliate against his ungratefulness?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Secretary Wang paused for a moment, then looked at Zhao Mingyuan with a hint of doubt on his face.

Isn't that right?

Although the words weren't spoken, it was practically the same as saying them.

Zhao Mingyuan was in a good mood and didn't dwell on it. He glanced at the time and said with a faint smile, "That's one purpose, but there's another one: I want to see if Li Feitu will actually show up."

"Should we just stand by and do nothing and watch Chen Jingcheng be taken away, or should we show our faces and make our presence known?"

"Hehe, no matter which choice he makes, he won't benefit from it. This is the last gift I'm giving to Li Feitu."

These words left Deputy Secretary Wang even more bewildered.

"Secretary, I don't understand."

Zhao Mingyuan seemed to be in a good mood, so he didn't mind explaining a few more words to Deputy Secretary Wang.

"It's very simple. Chen Jingcheng was personally promoted by Li Feitu to the position of deputy director of the government office, and he also serves as Li Feitu's secretary. Everyone in the officialdom of Linchuan County knows who Chen Jingcheng's backer is. Now, the Discipline Inspection Commission has brazenly led people away from the county party committee compound. If Li Feitu doesn't even dare to show his face, what kind of reputation do you think he will have in Linchuan County?"

"Of course, he doesn't need to care about that now. After all, he can't even keep his position, and he can't stay in Linchuan County anymore. Reputation doesn't matter anymore. But remember, everything that happened today will eventually spread to other places. Li Feitu's stain can't be washed away. Who would dare to work with such a person? Who would dare to entrust him with their trust?"

Deputy Secretary Wang immediately had a look of sudden realization and quickly said, "What if Li Feitu goes?"

Zhao Mingyuan chuckled upon hearing this, "It would be even better if they went."

"When the Discipline Inspection Commission is handling a case, the county head not only doesn't avoid suspicion, but also directly shows up to support his subordinates. Li Feitu thinks he's leaving behind a good reputation, but he's just giving us more reason to criticize him."

"To be honest, I really want Li Feitu to go there."

As he spoke, Zhao Mingyuan suddenly fell silent, watching a figure emerge from the government building in front of the window.

"He actually went. He couldn't possibly be unaware of the consequences of doing so. Heh, Li Feitu, what is this? Clever all your life, but foolish for a moment?"

Just as Deputy Secretary Wang was about to say something, Zhao Mingyuan looked directly at him and said in a deep voice, "Old Wang, get ready. Secretary Sun, we'll be here soon. I'm telling you in advance, just pretend you don't know."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Secretary Wang was completely stunned.

Secretary Sun? Sun Yikun?

Why is he here? And if the municipal party secretary is coming, how can Zhao Mingyuan sit here so peacefully? Shouldn't he have gone to the intersection to pick him up early this morning?

"Secretary, is Secretary Sun coming? We didn't receive any notification from the Municipal Party Committee. Well, why are you still standing here so steadily? Let's hurry and go meet him."

"I'll arrange for the traffic police to prepare a guide vehicle right away. Let's set off now."

Zhao Mingyuan shook his head and said, "No need. Secretary Sun is here incognito. He didn't originally plan to attend our county's democratic life meeting, but he decided to come anyway."

"When he came, he specifically told me not to notify anyone or to come to greet him; he would come by himself."

"I can't ignore his request."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Secretary Wang remained silent for a moment, then looked out the window and revealed a look of sudden realization.

"So, Secretary, you deliberately chose this time to arrange for Wang Liye to come? Is this for Secretary Sun to see?"

Zhao Mingyuan checked the time and nodded, "That's right, I made this arrangement specifically. However, whether we can make it in time is another matter. It seems that everything is going smoothly."

"Alright, that's enough talk. It's almost time, let's get ready."

"If Li Feitu were smart, he would know what to do. Unfortunately, I don't think he's smart enough right now."

At this moment, Li Feitu and Chen Jingcheng were unaware of Sun Yikun's sudden arrival, nor did they know that Zhao Mingyuan had set up a trap specifically for them.

However, whether they knew or not was not important; what mattered was that they were very clear that Zhao Mingyuan had ill intentions.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Feitu walked up to Chen Jingcheng and Wang Liye.

Wang Liye quickly said, "County Chief Li, our Discipline Inspection Commission has received a report and has grasped some of the facts, so we need to take Chen Jingcheng back to assist in the investigation."

"You'd better not stop us. After all, our Discipline Inspection Commission is handling cases according to the law and regulations. Even if you are the county head, you have no right to stop us from taking the suspect away!"

Without saying a word, Li Feitu was immediately accused by Wang Liye.

Their malicious intent is blatantly obvious!
