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

It's very likely a criminal case!

Upon hearing this, beads of sweat kept seeping from Jiang Dehai's forehead. How could he not know his son's character?

But weren't all those things suppressed?

Confused, Jiang Dehai took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.

Chapter 359 Secretary Meeting

"I see!"

In silence, Jiang Dehai hung up the phone.

He then sat back down in his chair, glanced at the exquisite lunch on the table, but had no appetite. His eyes were slightly closed, and anger churned within him.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and sighed heavily.

"Sigh, I hope it's not that!"

Shaking his head, Jiang Dehai picked up his phone, found Qin Siyuan's number, and dialed it.

"Hello, is this Comrade Siyuan?"

In the office of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province, Qin Siyuan's face lit up with a bright smile after receiving a phone call from Jiang Dehai.

Instead of rejecting the call, he answered it with his legs crossed.

"It's Minister Jiang. What can I do for you, Minister Jiang?"

Qin Siyuan's tone was noticeably different from his previous submissive manner; instead, it carried a hint of teasing.

"Comrade Siyuan, I just received news that Xiao Ning is in your Handong area and has been detained by the Guangming District Public Security Bureau of Jingzhou City. The Guangming Branch refused to disclose the specific details."

Comrade Siyuan, you are the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Handong District. Could you please inquire about the situation and find out what's going on?

If there are no problems, could you please instruct the staff at the branch office to release Xiao Ning?

After all, Xiao Ning is your future son-in-law.

Qin Siyuan scoffed at these words.

"Minister Jiang, are you saying that Jiang Ning was detained by the Guangming District Public Security Bureau for committing a crime?"

Oh dear! This is not good news!

If Jiang Ning were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he's currently the deputy director of the Haidian District Public Security Bureau, a deputy division-level cadre, and he's on the verge of promotion. This incident at this time will seriously impact his future career...

Oh dear, how could this child be so careless!

Qin Siyuan's words seemed to express regret, but Jiang Dehai felt uncomfortable listening to them, as if the other party was watching the show and making fun of him.

"Comrade Siyuan, now is not the time to talk about this. The most urgent thing is to understand the situation first."

Jiang Dehai added another point.

"Yes, yes, look at my brain, getting old really changes things, I always make mistakes."

However, Minister Jiang, if Xiao Ning's offenses are just ordinary violations of public order, such as soliciting prostitution, it will probably only be a matter of a few days.

But if it really involves serious laws and regulations, it would be difficult for me, as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, to directly instruct the Guangming Branch to release the person!

I can't just use my power to bully people, can I?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dehai rolled his eyes completely. Was the other person pretending to know what he didn't? Did he really not understand what he meant?

"Comrade Siyuan, you should find out the specifics first."

“That’s true. Minister Jiang, let me ask.”

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Comrade Siyuan."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Siyuan chuckled. What's the point of asking? Jiang Ning is definitely finished, so asking or not won't change the outcome. But whether Jiang Ning's anger can spread to Jiang Dehai is something that needs to be addressed!

3 PM, Office of the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong.

Chen Luo received a call from Cheng Du.

"Hey, Comrade Cheng Du."

"Secretary Chen, good afternoon!"

"Okay, let's get to the point."

"Here's the thing, Secretary Chen. Around noon today, Ge Wenlong, the director of the Haidian District Public Security Bureau, called me. They already know that Jiang Ning is in our jurisdiction, and Director Ge asked me to hand over the person to their branch bureau."

I flatly refused!

"You did the right thing, Comrade Cheng Du!"

Ignore the Haidian branch bureau. If they want to take the person away, let their municipal bureau chief and Comrade Haifeng negotiate first.

It's impossible to suppress this matter; the law cannot yield to illegality!

"Secretary Chen, what if their municipal bureau really does negotiate with our provincial department..."

"It won't affect anything. I'll give Minister Wang of the Ministry of Public Security a call later. We at Handong are determined to handle this case!"

Hearing this, Cheng felt incredibly confident. This was the power of connections, the backing of a powerful figure. He could directly call a deputy minister, so what was there to fear from the Capital Municipal Bureau?

"I understand, Secretary Chen! Our Guangming Branch will resolutely carry out your instructions and will not allow anyone to take Jiangning away!"

"By the way, how's the investigation going?"

Chen Luo then remembered to inquire about the specific details of Jiang Ning's investigation.

“Secretary Chen, last night, two girls from our Handong household registration testified against us.”

One of the girls also has direct physical evidence, which now confirms Jiang Ning's assault on the two girls.

Our branch is currently identifying other girls from different registered residence areas in the video, and we aim to locate and record all girls other than those registered in Beijing within five days.

"Good efficiency. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Yes, Secretary Chen!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo looked out the door.

"Mingyu".

"Secretary Chen, I'm here!"

"Go and inform Secretary Sha and Governor Zhou that we will be holding a meeting later to ask when they are available."

"Yes, Secretary Chen!"

Liu Mingyu left quickly, and returned to his office a dozen minutes later. He knocked on the door: "Secretary Chen, Secretary Sha and Governor Zhou's secretary have both replied. It's 5 p.m. now. Secretary Sha and Governor Zhou will both be available at 5:30 p.m."

However, it was already close to the end of the workday...

"Okay, I see."

Half an hour later, in the small conference room of the provincial party committee, when Chen Luo arrived, Sha Ruijin and Zhou Jianjun were already waiting.

"Oh? Secretary Sha, Governor Zhou, you two are here so early? We agreed on 5:30, it's only 20 now."

"Haha, Comrade Chen Luo, Governor Jianjun and I are both quite free right now, with not much work to do, so we came over early."

Besides, this is the first meeting of our new leadership team, so it's normal to take it seriously.

Zhou Jianjun then chimed in.

"Comrade Chen Luo, sit down and let's talk."

"Good job, Governor Jianjun."

Chen Luo quickly sat down and then looked at the two of them.

"Secretary Sha, Governor Jianjun, there's something I'd like to discuss with you both first."

Seeing Chen Luo's expression turn serious, the smiles on Sha Ruijin and Zhou Jianjun's faces also gradually faded.

"Comrade Chen Luo, please speak!"

"Here's what happened: Yesterday afternoon, police officers from the Guangming Branch took away a suspect for disorderly conduct. Upon investigation, the suspect was identified as Jiang Ning, the deputy director of the Haidian District Public Security Bureau, and his father is Minister Jiang, who recently brought Comrade Siyuan to take up his post."

Upon hearing Jiang Dehai's name, Sha Ruijin and Zhou Jianjun, who had been looking solemn, instantly brightened up.

They then exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

Chen Luo understood and continued, "If that's all there is to it, it's not worth holding a special meeting of the Party Secretary."

During the investigation, Cheng Du, the director of the Guangming branch, discovered some new information through Jiang Ning's mobile phone.

This case in Jiangning involves more than 20 cases of rape!

There are currently two confirmed cases, and both girls are registered residents of Handong County.

Chapter 360: A Battle of Acting Skills, Reaching a Consensus

"Secretary Sha, Governor Jianjun, the nature of Jiang Ning's crimes is particularly heinous. This is no longer an ordinary case; it is a prime example of the powerful and wealthy's sons wantonly oppressing the people!"

Even while committing crimes, Jiang Ning actually filmed the entire criminal process, which is a serious provocation against my country's laws and judicial system!

Not to mention he's a public official, a sacred people's police officer, who knowingly broke the law. We in Handong absolutely cannot allow such a lawless criminal to go unpunished!

Chen Luo said these words with particular seriousness.

Sha Ruijin and Zhou Jianjun also frowned, as they were also surprised by the severity of the situation in Jiangning.

However, Chen Luo has already made his stance clear, and Sha Ruijin and Zhou Jianjun will not remain silent either.

"Comrade Chen Luo, I support a thorough investigation into the illegal and criminal activities in Jiangning, and we will never tolerate them!"

No matter whose son he is, no matter what powerful background he has, crimes must be severely punished according to the law!

“That’s right, I agree with Comrade Ruijin’s opinion. Jiang Ning thinks he has a father who is a ministerial-level official.”

There was a grandfather who was a retired deputy minister!

They dare to be so reckless!

This is not only a serious provocation against the judicial system, but also damages the credibility of our Party's governance!

If we don't bring them to justice, what will the people think of us? The consequences are unimaginable!
