Chapter 268 The final battle!
As the last arms dealer was taken to the police car, the sirens pierced the night sky, announcing the successful conclusion of this thrilling arrest operation. However, the waves set off by this victory in the Handong officialdom have just begun to surge.
In the provincial party committee building, Sha Ruijin sat alone at his desk. The investigation report on the desk, which was originally used to deal a fatal blow to Qi Tongwei, was now crumpled into a ball and lay powerlessly in the corner. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white due to the force, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. He never expected that the carefully planned layout would be so easily reversed by Qi Tongwei and his gang. "A bunch of trash!" Sha Ruijin cursed in a low voice, his voice full of anger and unwillingness. He thought he had mastered all the clues and grasped Qi Tongwei's Achilles' heel, but now he was slapped in the face by reality. General Zhong Zhengguo strode into the office and kicked the chair in front of him away. With a loud "bang", he vented his inner anger: "Who is this Qi Tongwei? We spent so much effort, but he actually got away with it!" His face was flushed, veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes were burning with anger. As a representative of the military, he was already disgusted with the many tricks in the officialdom. This time he participated in the plan to overthrow Qi Tongwei, hoping to restore a clean place to the officialdom of Handong, but ended up with nothing.
After hearing the news, Mr. Wang hurried to the provincial party committee. He was leaning on a cane, his steps were hurried but a little staggering. As soon as he stepped into the office, his cane slammed heavily on the ground: "Sha Ruijin, what's going on? We have been planning for a long time, how could it fail at the last moment!" Mr. Wang's voice was trembling, with anger and shock. He had been up and down in the officialdom of Handong for many years, and thought he knew all the forces of all parties, but this time he completely miscalculated. He looked at Sha Ruijin and Zhong Zhengguo, his eyes full of questions, as if he wanted to find the answer from their faces. The three of them were speechless, the air was filled with suffocating depression, only the heavy breathing sounds intertwined together, telling of their inner unwillingness.
In sharp contrast to them, the people on the other side were immersed in the joy of victory.
Gao Yuliang paced back and forth in his study, opening and closing the folding fan in his hand rhythmically, with an unconcealable smile on his face. "Qi Tongwei, Qi Tongwei, you really didn't let me down." He whispered to himself, his tone full of relief and appreciation. When he heard that Qi Tongwei was under investigation, he was on pins and needles, fearing that his layout in Handong for many years would be ruined. Now that he saw the situation turn around, the huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew very well that after this battle, Qi Tongwei's prestige in the officialdom would not only not be damaged, but would be further improved, and he could continue to rely on this capable general to consolidate his position.
In the operations command center, Dudu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the police car going away. A gratified smile appeared on his tired face, and the light of victory flashed in his eyes. Since he noticed the conspiracy of Sha Ruijin and others, he has been planning day and night, dealing with various forces, collecting intelligence, contacting people, and every step is treading on thin ice. At this moment, watching the enemy's conspiracy being shattered, he felt unprecedented joy. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the team members who were still finishing up: "Brothers, great job! This time we let those with evil intentions know that justice may be late, but it will never be absent."
After Sun Liancheng got the news in the Guangming District office, he jumped up from his chair, the haze on his face was swept away, replaced by uncontrollable joy. "Great, now I am finally safe." He patted his chest, as if he had survived a disaster. Before Qi Tongwei was investigated, he was worried all day, fearing that the official earthquake would affect him. Now that the crisis is over, he has returned to his leisurely appearance, even humming a little song, thinking about where to go to relax after get off work.
In Hong Kong Island, Jimmy sat in his base, listening to his men reporting the results of the operation, with a smug smile on his face. "We made the right move." He picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. At first, he was involved in the disputes in the Handong officialdom, and he was really nervous, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend both sides. But fortunately, he turned back in time and cooperated with Dudu and others to capture the arms dealer, which not only preserved his power in Hong Kong Island, but also sold a favor to the Handong officialdom. At this moment, he was in a good mood and ordered his men: "Go, give some bonuses to the brothers, and celebrate tonight."
In the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, Fang Xinwu and Gao Gang were sharing the joy of victory with the police officers. Fang Xinwu patted Gao Gang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thanks to you this time, we were able to do it so smoothly." Gao Gang scratched his head and smiled honestly: "It's not just my credit, everyone worked hard." The police officers sat together, discussing the thrilling moments of the operation, and laughter echoed in the office. Fang Xinwu looked at these brothers who had gone through life and death, and his heart was full of emotion. He knew that this operation was not only a heavy blow to criminals, but also a manifestation of the righteous power of Handong officialdom.
However, this victory did not completely let everyone relax their vigilance. The officialdom of Handong is too complicated, and the forces of all parties are intricate. Although the conspiracy of Sha Ruijin and others was temporarily repelled this time, the road ahead is still full of thorns.
A few days later, the provincial party committee held a summary meeting. Sha Ruijin suppressed his anger, sat at the head of the conference table, looked around, and slowly said: "This incident has sounded a wake-up call for us. Don't think that you can sit back and relax after overthrowing Qi Tongwei. The hidden dangers behind must be dug deep." His eyes were cold, sweeping across everyone present, as if warning someone.
Elder Wang also attended the meeting. He tapped the ground heavily with his cane and said earnestly: "Everyone should remember that our original intention is to serve the people. Any violation of this principle cannot be tolerated. Whether Qi Tongwei's case is true or false, it has exposed loopholes in our supervision. We must strengthen institutional construction in the future."
Zhong Zhengguo continued, "Yes, the military is disciplined, and so is the government. We must establish a strict supervision mechanism to ensure that those with bad intentions have nowhere to hide."
Gao Yuliang sat aside, silent, but in his mind he was thinking about how to adjust his strategy. He knew that after this incident, he needed to be more cautious and reorganize his personal connections to ensure that his position was stable.
Fang Xinwu reported the details of the arrest operation at the meeting. He said sincerely: "Through this operation, we not only arrested the arms dealers, but also uncovered some profit chains behind them. This shows that as long as we work together, we can fight corruption and maintain social stability."
Du added: "This success is inseparable from the cooperation of all parties, especially the assistance of Jimmy. Although he is from Hong Kong Island, he was able to distinguish right from wrong at critical moments and provided us with important help."
Sha Ruijin nodded slightly: "We should thank everyone who has worked hard for this operation, but at the same time we should also reflect on why such a conspiracy occurred? We must solve the problem from the root and put the Handong officialdom back on the right track."
In a secret meeting room in the provincial party committee building, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed suffocating. Sha Ruijin, Wang Lao and Zhong Zhengguo sat around the conference table, their faces different, but all revealing deep worry.
Sha Ruijin frowned and tapped his fingers on the table subconsciously, breaking the silence in the room: "The situation is becoming more and more difficult. If the current situation continues, in a few years, once the top leader retires, Gao Yuliang will take over as the provincial party secretary, and Qi Tongwei will become the governor. It is almost a foregone conclusion. Qi Tongwei is only 30 years old. If he is 40 years old, won't the position of provincial party secretary fall into his hands? We can't just give up the piece of fat meat in Handong." His voice was low, but every word revealed reluctance and determination, and his eyes flashed with sparks ignited by the desire for power.
Old Wang sat on the chair, leaning forward slightly, the cane in his hand tapped the ground from time to time, making a dull sound depending on his mood. His face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Humph, Qi Tongwei, this kid, is faster than a rocket. I have been struggling in the officialdom for these years just to have a place in Handong, how can I let him succeed so easily?" Old Wang's eyes were full of shrewdness and sharpness accumulated over the years, but at this moment they were covered by anxiety and anger. His mind kept churning over the hardships he had suffered in the past to fight for power and profit, and he felt more and more that he could not sit and wait for death.
General Zhong Zhengguo slammed the table and stood up. His tall figure cast a shadow under the light, covering a corner of the conference table. His face was full of anger, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted loudly: "I have fought all kinds of tough battles on the battlefield. Now I am being plotted against by these civilian officials! We must not let them succeed. We must find a way to completely suppress their momentum." Zhong Zhengguo's roar echoed in the empty conference room, showing his courage and perseverance as a soldier, but at this moment this perseverance was distorted and used in this conspiracy for power and profit.
The three of them were silent for a long time, and the air seemed to freeze. Suddenly, Sha Ruijin raised his head, glanced at Wang Lao and Zhong Zhengguo, and said in a chilling voice: "I do have an idea, but it's very risky... Create a terrorist attack." When these words came out, Wang Lao and Zhong Zhengguo were both stunned, and a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, but soon, the surprise was replaced by a tacit understanding of ruthlessness.
Old Wang narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly: "This move is cruel enough, but once it is implemented, the whole Handong will be in chaos." He said this, but in his heart he was weighing the pros and cons, thinking that if he could really use this to overthrow Qi Tongwei, his position in Handong would be unshakable in the future. He turned the cane in his hand, as if he was using it to stabilize his somewhat flustered mood.
Zhong Zhengguo sat back in his chair, crossed his arms, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Although the risk is high, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the lamb. As long as it is handled properly, Qi Tongwei can't solve this mess, and the provincial party committee from top to bottom will be held accountable. Do they still want to climb up? No way!" Zhong Zhengguo's eyes were firm, as if he had seen how Qi Tongwei and others would be defeated in this turmoil, completely ignoring the disaster this plan would bring to the people of Handong.
Sha Ruijin nodded slightly, and had already made a plan in his mind: "It's settled. I will use my connections to find some marginal people who can get things done to act as pawns, and then interfere with the police intelligence network. Qi Tongwei must not be notified in advance." His tone was unquestionable. As the secretary of the provincial party committee, he betrayed his duties at this moment and did whatever it took to gain power.
Old Wang also stood up, leaning on his crutches, and walked towards the door: "I'm going to go to the underground channels to get some stuff to add some spice to this scene. I guarantee they will be in a state of panic." After that, he left the meeting room without looking back, his back revealing a sense of determination.
Zhong Zhengguo looked at the direction where Mr. Wang left, then looked at Sha Ruijin, and whispered: "I will cover you in the military. If necessary, I will delay the military's reaction speed. We must not let the plan be exposed in advance." There was a hint of depression in his voice. After all, he was a little uneasy about using military force to participate in such a conspiracy, but the temptation of power made him choose to take the risk.
However, they never expected that Dudu, who seemed to be inconspicuous in normal times, beside Qi Tongwei, had a keen sense of danger and detected something strange.
After years of working in the police force, Dudu has developed a pair of sharp eyes. One day, when he was sorting out intelligence at the police station, he found some scattered clues that seemed unrelated, but faintly pointed to a huge conspiracy. He was shocked, and after repeated checks and comparisons, cold sweat soaked his back. Not daring to delay, he hurried to Qi Tongwei's office.
Qi Tongwei was reviewing documents. When he saw Dudu coming in in a panic, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Dudu panted and put the documents on the table. "Director Qi, something is wrong. I found that Sha Ruijin and his men might be planning a shocking conspiracy. It might be a terrorist attack to overthrow us." Qi Tongwei's face turned livid when he heard this. He slammed the pen in his hand on the table and was furious. "These people are so unscrupulous for power!" He stood up and paced back and forth in the office, his anger burning. After years of working in the officialdom, he knew the cruelty of the power struggle, but he didn't expect his opponent to resort to such despicable means.
But Qi Tongwei was a veteran after all, so he quickly calmed down. He quickly called Gao Yuliang and said, "Secretary Gao, something has happened. Sha Ruijin and his men are planning a terrorist attack. We must act immediately..." Gao Yuliang also took a deep breath on the other end of the phone. "Is this true? Stay calm first. I will immediately coordinate resources from all parties. We cannot just sit there and wait for death."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei said to Dudu: "You continue to dig deeper for clues and report any situation at any time. I will arrange security and control, and we must not let them succeed." Dudu took the order and left. Qi Tongwei immediately summoned the backbone of the police station and issued an emergency order: "From now on, add more manpower to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted patrols of key areas in Handong. Especially crowded places and important government agencies, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong." The police officers took the order in unison and quickly rushed to their respective posts. A tense security battle kicked off.
