Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 396: No Compromise in Politics and Law

"Bang!" Gao Yuliang slammed his hands on the table, furious. "What's going on? Three living people just disappeared right under your noses for no reason?"

Zhang Xiaohua lowered his head. It was really embarrassing that he, the director of the Public Security Bureau, failed to catch anyone even though he was in charge personally.

"We checked the surveillance footage of the Longteng Hotel and found that they were stopped on the fifth floor by a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask. He then took them into a corner and disappeared from the surveillance footage.

And that place is a blind spot for surveillance. It is obvious that the mysterious person is very familiar with the structure of the Longteng Hotel."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and whispered tentatively, "Secretary Gao, do you think it could be..."

"What is it?" Gao Yuliang looked up at Zhang Xiaohua, his eyes full of warning, "Don't speculate without evidence."

Gao Yuliang also had doubts for a moment, but he quickly rejected them.

If the Zhao family intervenes, is that something they can discuss?

Even if this is the truth, it is not something that their weak arms and legs can change.

But his intuition told him that the Zhao family could not be involved, because Lin Xiaoqiang and his group had no connection with Zhao Lichun at all.

Zhao Lichun has a strong background, so Lin Xiaoqiang's father certainly cannot command him.

Even if they had political exchanges, it would be limited to exchanges, and they would never interfere in such an obvious place as the Longteng Hotel.

Moreover, Qi Tongwei assured him that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Zhao Xiaoya, and he still had 100% trust in his eldest disciple.

At this point, the only option was to redeploy, switching from open to covert operations, and send plainclothes police officers to conduct secret investigations.

Just as the two were discussing the next work arrangements.

The phone next to Gao Yuliang rang. It was Qi Bin, the municipal party secretary.

"Lao Gao, there was a big scene last night. Did you catch anyone?"

Gao Yuliang reported truthfully, "Secretary Qi, not yet. Reporting from below, they were about to be surrounded, but were rescued by a mysterious person."

Qi Bin said, "This mysterious person is no ordinary person. Could it be that our Haizhou has some unknown power?"

After a night of investigation, the police finally compiled the information at three in the morning.

The special police were dispatched at 3:10, and it took them only 15 minutes to arrive at the location.

Not only did the other party receive the information before them, but he was also able to get ahead of the police and take away the three people. This person must be backed by at least a senior member of the police force, or even a higher position.

"Yes, we are also researching. The identity of this mysterious person is not simple."

Qi Bin asked, "Any direction?"

"There are two. One is the person behind Guo Xiangli, and the other is the person behind Lin Xiaoqiang."

The identities of both men are not simple. One is involved in the officialdom of Haizhou, and the other can even involve the officialdom of Handong Province.

If it is the former, it is easy to handle, but I am afraid it is the latter. A retired deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and former chairman of the CPPCC, there are a lot of people involved.

Many people in Haizhou were promoted by Deputy Secretary Lin, and many of his old subordinates are still active in the Handong officialdom.

For example, they already know of two members of the Standing Committee of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee.

"I can rule out one possibility for you. Lin Xiaoqiang is unlikely," Qi Bin said. "Vice Governor Yu called me early this morning and hoped we could capture him alive if possible."

Gao Yuliang understood what the other party meant, and this meant capturing him alive.

Yes, Lin Xiaoqiang is the son of Deputy Secretary Lin after all. Even if he is not very ambitious, he cannot watch his son die before him.

Since the other party has made such a request, it is impossible to arrange for someone to take him away.

The Handong Provincial Party Committee will definitely not let it go if a person who has stirred up trouble in Western Xinjiang and Handong provinces disappears.

He is a retired deputy secretary and cannot bear the responsibility.

Gao Yuliang hesitated. "Secretary Qi, according to the information provided by the Western Xinjiang police, Lin Xiaoqiang also stole a police gun. If we capture him alive, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary casualties."

"I know, so I said try your best. You can make your own decisions if necessary." Qi Bin said without missing a beat. "Of course, we should also take care of the feelings of the old comrades. After all, you and I will all grow old in the future."

Everyone knows whose opinion Vice Governor Yu represents, but who should bear the responsibility for the casualties?

This becomes a tricky task.

Judging from the current political situation in Handong, Vice Governor Yu has the best chance of succeeding Liu Weimin as executive vice governor and joining the provincial party committee in the next term. If he offends him, his already difficult path in Handong will become even more difficult.

Qi Bin's obvious act of shifting the blame made him feel helpless. A higher-ranking official can crush someone more powerful. If something really went wrong, he, as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, would inevitably have to bear part of the responsibility, and even face the anger of the Deputy Governor.

He didn't know much about this Vice Governor Yu. He only knew that he was the successor promoted by Lin Zilie and had a good reputation in Handong.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang conveyed the municipal party secretary's intention to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately frowned when he heard this: "My Secretary Gao, our soldiers are not Rambo, Chen Long.

If there was only one Lin Xiaoqiang, although it would be difficult, there would still be some chance of success.

But judging by the current situation, the other one of the three is very likely the renowned Haizhou assassin Yang Chun. In addition, there's also an unknown force infiltrating our ranks. If we remain restrained, our brave warriors will likely pay the price in bloodshed and sacrifice."

Zhang Xiaohua became increasingly agitated as he spoke. "If you leaders insist on doing this, then I'd rather take this hat off than gamble the lives of my soldiers for my so-called career!"

Now the enemy is in the dark while they are in the light, they have only one choice: find the person and quickly attack and capture him. There is no other way, otherwise when the other party reacts, they will continue to flee.

The personal safety of the citizens of Haizhou will be in danger.

How could Gao Yuliang not know all this? He had no good solution, so he got up in frustration and walked to the window, thinking about how to have the best of both worlds.

He wasn't given many options.

The other party was not dead. He didn't dare to gamble on the chances of casualties if they were to capture him alive.

Especially since Qi Bin did not give any clear instructions, then this became Gao Yuliang's own decision, and it could only be decided by him, since he was the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

After a moment's contemplation, Gao Yuliang made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Don't hesitate. Just follow your plan. If you can catch them, arrest them. If you can't, shoot them on the spot! We must ensure the safety of people's lives and property, and at the same time, we must protect our soldiers. No matter who the criminal is, we cannot compromise the political system, the law, or the police badge!"

Although the official position is important, his integrity as a political and legal secretary must not be tarnished.

Zhang Xiaohua was moved and stood up to salute, "Yes!"

After Zhang Xiaohua left, Gao Yuliang slowly sat back in his seat, his eyes drifting out the window, full of thoughts.

He had a premonition that if things went wrong, he might suffer a Waterloo in his career.
