The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 665 Mayor Liang's Last Act of Dignity: Killing the Monkey to Teach the Chicken

Shall we go?

Liang Qun!

The mayor has been arrested!

Everyone on the stage stared in shock at Mayor Liang in the center.

No one expected that the person the Discipline Inspection Commission came to arrest this time would be Mayor Liang Qun, the mayor of Linzhou City and the second-in-command of the entire city.

No wonder the provincial discipline inspection commission came to arrest him; it turns out Mayor Liang got into trouble.

Liang Qun slumped into his chair. He knew he was done for. Gao Yun must have gotten into trouble and implicated him, otherwise the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection wouldn't have taken action.

Moreover, the other party chose such an important meeting...

Liang Qun then realized that the meeting was actually held for his own benefit.

No wonder the notice was given last night; the decision to arrest me must have been made just yesterday.

The purpose of this meeting was to give everyone an unprecedented shock: the mayor of Linzhou City was taken away by the provincial discipline inspection commission at a city-wide cadre meeting.

Such a deterrent is absolutely unprecedented, and its warning effect is undoubtedly enormous.

Moreover, Liang Qun knew that there was basically no chance of him coming back after he left, because the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had taken him away in front of all the cadres in the city. If they didn't find anything out in the end, where would the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's face be?

Does he still have any authority?

Liang Qun slowly stood up. He glanced at the municipal party secretary sitting next to him, but the other party did not look up and instead stared straight ahead without looking at him at all.

It was obvious that the other party already knew, but everyone else was shocked, so only the municipal party secretary should know about this.

Liang Qun sighed softly and looked around.

He is a cadre who grew up in Linzhou.

More than 20 years ago, he started as a clerk in a small office at the Investment Promotion Bureau, working his way up through various stages, eventually becoming the deputy mayor of the city.

Over the years, he has forgotten how many departments he has worked in and how many chairs he has sat in before achieving what he has today.

There was a time when everyone looked at me with respect, tinged with a little fear.

Even when his former boss came to his office to report on his work, he was somewhat nervous, afraid that something he said might displease him.

When old classmates who once studied hard with me met me, they no longer had the carefree and uninhibited manner of the past; instead, they all seemed reserved.

Even when toasting themselves, they carefully held the glass while the others drank from stemmed glasses.

Passing by.

Now it's all in the past.

When did I go astray?

Did it begin when I met Gao Yun?

Maybe not.

When I met Gao Yun, he was already the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau.

Although he didn't enjoy eating and drinking, his desire for money had begun back then. However, he hadn't found a good target or object, so he remained patient until Gao Yun appeared, and then until the Yuanfang Financial Group appeared.

In any case, all of that is in the past, but he may face imprisonment.

However, as the head of the office and the leader of everyone present, Liang Qun should at least maintain some semblance of dignity even if he is taken away under investigation.

"Secretary, it seems I can't continue this meeting with you. The comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission may want to ask me some questions. Excuse me for a moment, I'll apologize to you when I return."

Then Liang Qun looked at everyone present below and the few people on the stage and waved his hand.

"Comrades, you can continue with the meeting. The comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission must have some misunderstanding to contact me, but I need to go and clarify this misunderstanding."

The only voice in the entire venue was Liang Qun's.

No one spoke, including those on the platform and the municipal party secretary. Many people below were so frightened that their legs went weak.

Recently, the stage has been almost empty, with five people arrested. Now, no one expected that Liang Qun, the second-in-command of Linzhou City and the mayor, would also be taken away for investigation by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The sky is falling.

Many top officials in various districts, counties, and departments have recently been taken away, so many of those below them are acting officials, and many are attending meetings in place of their deputies because their superiors have been arrested.

Unexpectedly, this meeting was not a so-called learning or communication session at all, but rather a meeting to make an example of someone.

No, to be precise, it should be a meeting to kill the monkey to warn the chickens. Mayor Liang is the monkey, and they are all a bunch of chickens.
