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

After picking up the person, they headed towards the Public Security Bureau.

Chen Luo was waiting inside the provincial government building with Zhu, the vice governor in charge of public security.

"Secretary Chen, I'm about to retire. Will Comrade Yun Haifeng take over my position?"

Vice Governor Zhu, who is also 61 years old, joked with Chen Luo, who simply shook his head.

"It's hard to say. The provincial department head next door usually takes over the position of vice governor, but whether he can take over and when he can take over depends on the opinion of our provincial party committee."

Vice Governor Zhu was somewhat alarmed by Chen Luo's smile.

The implication is that if you listen to me, you'll get what you want; if you don't, you'll have to go back to where you came from.

However, considering that he was just an ordinary vice governor, Vice Governor Zhu felt relieved. People can't be compared. He was already 61 and hadn't even entered the provincial party committee. What about others? They were already 38 when they were promoted. Naturally, his tone would be different.

As they were chatting, a black Audi pulled up in front of the Public Security Bureau building. Zhao Donglai, who was currently in charge of the provincial department, calmly stepped forward to greet the new director.

The car door opened, and Wu Chunlin and Yun Haifeng walked towards the crowd one after the other.

"Comrade Donglai, this is Comrade Yun Haifeng, the new director of your provincial department!"

"Director Yun, hello!"

Zhao Donglai extended his hand with his signature smile, and Yun Haifeng, without putting on airs, reached out and shook hands with Zhao Donglai.

"Hello, Comrade Donglai."

Just then, Chen Luo and Vice Governor Zhu came downstairs, and Wu Chunlin quickly brought Yun Haifeng to them to introduce them.

"This is Secretary Chen, who is also the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee!"

The relaxed smile on Yun Haifeng's face disappeared, replaced by solemnity and seriousness.

"Hello, Secretary Chen!"

Facing Yun Haifeng, who extended both hands, Chen Luo smiled and shook hands with him using only one hand.

“Comrade Haifeng, you’re new to the work of the provincial department and may not be very familiar with it, especially the implementation of the rule of law. You can learn from Comrade Donglai first. He’s a veteran of the Handong Public Security system. Do a good job and try to get the entire provincial department up and running as soon as possible.”

He patted Yun Haifeng on the shoulder. The scene was undeniably hilarious. Putting aside their positions, their ages alone made it quite comical. However, Yun Haifeng was no young man and understood the meaning behind his words.

He immediately stood up straight and said, "Secretary Chen, please rest assured, I will definitely not interfere with the existing work since I just arrived. I will study diligently for a period of time before maintaining the security and stability of Handong in accordance with your instructions and those of the provincial government!"

Chen Luo also developed a liking for such a smart person.

"This is Vice Governor Zhu, who is currently in charge of your public security work."

Chen Luo explained that Yun Haifeng once again extended both hands in greeting.

After that, Wu Chunlin announced the organizational appointments, but by then Chen Luo and Vice Governor Zhu had already left.

After the appointment announcement, Wu Chunlin also left. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Haifeng arrived at his office, which, as the director's office, still retained Qi Tongwei's decoration style.

However, Yun Haifeng didn't seem to care much about this.

He came to Handong on a mission!

Knock knock knock, just then the door opened.

"Come in!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai pushed open the door.

"Director Yun, I've come to report on my work!"

Zhao Donglai was very courteous. He knew he couldn't directly take the position of director, so he wasn't particularly hostile to Yun Haifeng's arrival.

"It's Comrade Donglai! Quickly, sit down and let's talk!"

Both men were at the ministerial level, but Yun Haifeng didn't put on airs like a minister.

The two quickly became acquainted.

Chapter 192 Yun Haifeng's Swift Execution of the Mission

"Comrade Donglai, I have just arrived in Handong and am not very familiar with the work here. I may have to trouble you to take on the work of the provincial department during this period."

"what!?"

Zhao Donglai nearly fell off his chair. Was this something a new director should say? Logically, shouldn't he be asking Zhao to cooperate with his work and gradually take control of the power?

Zhao Donglai could never understand Yun Haifeng.

In reality, Yun Haifeng's primary task in coming to Handong was not to actually become the head of the Public Security Bureau. His main task was to incite the Zhong family and the Zhao family to fight each other to the death.

This is the top priority. If this task is not completed, he will not be the director for long, and those big shots will not give him any support. On the contrary, as long as this task is completed, he will not only have time to gradually take control of the provincial department, but he may even have the opportunity to become a vice-provincial level official!

Yun Haifeng knew all too well which was more important.

At the same time, Yun Haifeng also knew some of Chen Luo's situation. He was fine with engaging in political struggles, but the work of the provincial department absolutely could not be delayed. Therefore, Yun Haifeng allowed Zhao Donglai to continue to preside over some important work of the provincial department.

It's all just helplessness and compromise.

"Yes! Comrade Donglai, you heard me right!"

Please!

Faced with Yun Haifeng's sincere request, Zhao Donglai had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, Director Yun, I'll hand these tasks back to you whenever you feel comfortable with them."

"Hey, we're all colleagues, no need to distinguish between you and me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai was speechless.

"By the way, Comrade Donglai, I heard that there's a director of the anti-corruption bureau of the procuratorate in Handong named Hou Liangping? How well do you know this person, Comrade Donglai?"

Upon hearing Hou Liangping's name mentioned abruptly, Zhao Donglai didn't think of anything else. He simply assumed that since the two were both from Beijing, they might know each other. So he said directly, "I know a little about this Director Hou. He is extremely selfish and self-serving, acts without regard for rules, and is arrogant and domineering. He can even scheme against his former brothers. Of course, this is all hearsay."

"brother?"

"Yes, the current mayor of Guangming District in Jingzhou City is Chen Hai."

Then, Zhao Donglai recounted the entire situation of Chen Hai and Hou Liangping.

Yun Haifeng's eyes lit up after hearing that!

"So, the two have a very deep-seated grudge?"

"More than that! Hou Liangping even angered Chen Hai's father to death. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a blood feud."

"I understand. That's all for now, Comrade Donglai. We'll talk again next time."

"Okay, let's talk again next time."

Zhao Donglai left, while Yun Haifeng sat in his chair and began to ponder quietly.

Over the weekend, Yun Haifeng, the newly appointed director, did not rush to work, but instead visited his predecessor, Qi Tongwei, at the First People's Hospital of the province.

As soon as Yun Haifeng arrived at the hospital and walked to the ward, he saw Qi Tongwei nimbly get out of bed and go to the balcony to open the window and enjoy the spring breeze.

Knock knock knock. Hearing the knocking, Qi Tongwei pretended not to have recovered and turned around with a limp.

"Please come in!"

Yun Haifeng pushed open the door and then came to Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, my name is Yun Haifeng. I just came to Handong to take over your position. I came to Handong yesterday and came to see you today to learn from your experience."

Yun Haifeng adopted a very humble attitude, while Qi Tongwei smiled.

"Comrade Haifeng, you don't need to be so polite. The work in Handong is the same as what you asked Zhao Donglai."

I haven't recovered yet; it's been two months. I've almost forgotten how to work.

"Hahaha, Director Qi is joking."

"By the way, Director Qi, I heard you and Zhao Ruilong used to be quite close. Could you tell me about this young master Zhao now?"

Qi Tongwei paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't know much about it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Haifeng showed no dissatisfaction, but simply smiled and said, "Director Qi, please rest assured, I just need some information about Zhao Ruilong, such as whether Zhao Ruilong has noticed that some people are coveting their family?"

In an instant, Qi Tongwei became serious.

"I'm not quite sure, Comrade Haifeng, you should ask someone else." After saying that, Qi Tongwei lay down on the hospital bed and didn't move.

Yun Haifeng had expected this result.

After Yun Haifeng left, Qi Tongwei immediately called Chen Luo to tell him about it.

Upon receiving this news, Chen Luo was not surprised; on the contrary, it confirmed Yun Haifeng's purpose in coming to Handong.

He also told Qi Tongwei that it was appropriate to reveal some information about the recent situations of Zhao Ruilong, Zhong Xiaoai, and Hou Liangping.

Upon receiving the instruction, Qi Tongwei called Yun Haifeng that same day, and Yun Haifeng arrived at the hospital that very night.

"Director Qi, are you saying that the relationship between Zhao Ruilong, Zhong Xiaoai, and Hou Liangping has been so complicated lately?"

Qi Tongwei shook his head.

"I've only heard about it, you know what I mean?"

Yun Haifeng rolled his eyes, not bothering to dwell on it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, never mind, anyway, thank you Director Qi!"

Qi Tongwei only breathed a sigh of relief after Yun Haifeng left. He told Yun Haifeng about Zhao Ruilong's scheme against Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai, including Chen Hai's involvement.

These messages were like a treasure to Yun Haifeng. No wonder the Zhong and Zhao families hadn't taken any action and the situation in Handong had remained deadlocked. Yun Haifeng had already come up with a way to break the deadlock: Chen Hai!

Upon returning to his office room that night, Yun Haifeng reported the news to his superiors.

The final instruction was to detonate the bomb!

Monday, time to work again.

All units in Handong were operating as usual, including the provincial department. In the morning, Yun Haifeng chaired a party group meeting and casually remarked that Zhao Donglai would continue to preside over the daily work, and then nothing more was said.

He himself went to the Guangming District Committee and Government of Jingzhou City.

There has to be a reason for coming here. Yun Haifeng's reason was simple: to take Cai Chenggong to the provincial department so that the department could investigate the whereabouts of his funds.

In the district head's office, Yun Haifeng met Chen Hai.
