In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

When Liang Lu mentioned her relatives in her hometown, Qi Tongwei felt deeply exhausted.

Over the years, he has used his power as the head of the Public Security Bureau to help many of his relatives in his hometown get government jobs.

But these relatives seem to be never satisfied...

With his eyes slightly closed and leaning back on the sofa, Qi Tongwei recalled the scene of the entire village pooling their money to send him to school.

This is a shackle that will forever remain deep within Qi Tongwei's heart.

"Ugh!"

After a long while, Qi Tongwei opened his eyes and could only let out a heavy sigh.

............................................................

Early the next morning.

Office of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

Chen Luo didn't arrive too early. He had just sat down in his office when his secretary, Liu Mingyu, knocked on the door and said, "Secretary Chen, Director Qi of the Provincial Public Security Department just called and said he wants to report to you on the work of the Public Security Department."

"What do you think...?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo quickly revealed a faint smile.

This Qi Tongwei doesn't seem too stupid.

"Mingyu, tell Director Qi that I'm free at 10:30."

After glancing at the time on his watch, Chen Luo spoke indifferently, his mood unreadable.

"Alright, Secretary Chen, I'll get back to Director Qi right away!"

After his secretary Liu Mingyu left, Chen Luo finally turned his attention to a list of personnel cadres in the political and legal system on his desk.

"The Bureau of Justice..."

Muttering to himself, Chen Luo gently tapped the table with his slender fingers, leaned back in his chair, and quietly closed his eyes to rest, waiting for Qi Tongwei to arrive.

Office of the Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

When the internal phone on the table rang, Qi Tongwei quickly answered it.

"Hello, is this Director Qi?"

"It's me, Director Liu!"

"Okay, Director Qi, Secretary Chen said he has time at 10:30."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Director Liu!"

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

After glancing at the clock on the wall, Qi Tongwei quickly tidied his clothes, left his office, and went downstairs. He then carefully checked himself in front of the personal grooming mirror before hurriedly driving to the Provincial Party Committee.

10:20.

Qi Tongwei has arrived at the office area of ​​the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

He first met with Chen Luo's secretary, Liu Mingyu, and then, after Liu Mingyu informed Chen Luo, Qi Tongwei was allowed to enter the office of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

dong dong...

"Secretary Chen, this is Qi Tongwei!"

Inside the room, Chen Luo slowly straightened up, sat down in the chair, and calmly said, "Director Qi, please come in."

With permission granted, Qi Tongwei slowly turned the lock and entered the office where he used to be able to come and go as he pleased.

"Secretary Chen! I've come to report on the recent work of the Public Security Bureau and would also like to ask for your guidance."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's explanation, Chen Luo did not rush to speak, but instead pointed to the opposite side of his desk.

"Sit down first, then we'll talk."

Qi Tongwei was slightly taken aback, but he still sat down obediently as Chen Luo instructed. When he looked up and saw Chen Luo's face, which was clearly younger than his own, Qi Tongwei felt his heart pounding and some fine beads of sweat appear on his forehead.

"Secretary Chen..."

"Director Qi, it's 10:30 now. I have other work to do at 11:00. You can speak freely for the next half hour."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei became even more nervous.

After taking a deep breath, Qi Tongwei finally spoke: "Secretary Chen, the Ding Yizhen incident has profoundly exposed the lack of enthusiasm for work among some comrades in our Provincial Public Security Department, and there are some cases of laziness and negligence in their duties. I would like to apologize to you first."

After saying this, Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Luo, who nodded symbolically and then signaled Qi Tongwei to continue.

"Um... Secretary Chen, another issue is that our Provincial Public Security Department's oversight of the work within the provincial public security system is insufficient."

The criminal case clearance rate lags behind that of neighboring Jiangsu Province, and public feedback on the handling of civil cases is not high.

These are all tasks that the Provincial Public Security Department will focus on implementing next.

Hearing this, Chen Luo was slightly disappointed.

"Qi Tongwei, Director Qi, if you've come to see me today just to report these things, I don't think it's very necessary."

I've seen your resume, from a judicial police officer in a small mountain village to a narcotics officer who was shot three times.

From the president of the Lincheng Intermediate People's Court to the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and now to the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, you have worked in the political and legal system for most of your life.

After a slight pause, Chen Luo continued, "You and Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, are teachers and students who graduated from Han University. Liang Qunfeng, the retired deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, is your father-in-law. Zhao Ruilong, the son of Zhao Lichun, who works in Beijing, has a close relationship with you."

At the same time, you come from a small mountain village and have deep feelings for your relatives in the mountains.

I know all of that!

Chen Luo looked at Qi Tongwei with a calm gaze, but it was terrifying in Qi Tongwei's eyes.

Moreover, what Chen Luo just said practically exposed him completely, the subtext being that he understood the situation and told him to stop with the empty platitudes.

"Secretary Chen, I..."

Seeing Qi Tongwei remain silent, Chen Luo slowly tapped his fingertips on the desk.

"Are you saying that you got to where you are today because you had no choice in the world, because you were forced into this situation?"

"Don't you think that Secretary Liang Qunfeng and his associates used particularly dirty methods back then?"

"But Qi Tongwei, aren't you just like them now?"

I've seen this personnel report for the political and legal system very clearly. Over the years, you've illegally placed countless relatives from your hometown into the public security system. A simple investigation will reveal all!"

"Secretary Chen, I apologize!"

Qi Tongwei was already drenched in sweat; he knew he couldn't hide what he had done anymore.

"Qi Tongwei, your problem is obvious, whether it's planting relatives in the public security system, or the Shanshui Group, or Zhao Ruilong, etc."

I want to tell you that I am the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province. I have no personnel decision-making power over the public security system, only the right to make suggestions. And your problem is the responsibility of Secretary Guo Fu of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

but!

If you want to continue serving as the Director of the Public Security Bureau, then please do your job well and clean out all your improper relatives from the public security system.

We must be resolute in implementing measures and maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards crime, making this a regular practice! Especially regarding illegal transactions within certain estates! Let's restore order and justice to the Handong Public Security system!

As for your other problems, I don't care how Secretary Guo Fu of the Discipline Inspection Commission investigates them. You can handle it yourself; it's all up to fate.

But from today onwards, please remember this!

If you dare to cross the line again and use your power for personal gain, I will show no mercy!

We must report this to the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission and notify the Ministry of Public Security!

Do you get me?"

After Chen Luo finished his stern reprimand, Qi Tongwei stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
