Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui assigned tasks to Chen Jun and Xu Kai:

"You don't need to go to the Public Security Bureau now. I have already said hello to Director Su.

Have those people in the video halls and dance halls that I asked you to monitor recently made any moves?"

Ye Tianshui asked in a calm tone.

"Baozi and Magan? They cowered like turtles when the crackdown began.

Later we went to the Public Security Bureau, and we had neglected them during this period.”

Chen Jun said apologetically: "Sir, you suddenly asked about them, are you going to close the net?"

“Sir, I come in and out here often, and I’ll go in and take a look when I have time.

Baozi and Ma Gan didn't find anything, but there must be drugs being traded inside, so both parties were very cautious.

You said that we should try our best to catch drug dealers and addicts without alerting them, so we have never alerted them.

Are the higher-ups going to take action against them?"

Xu Kai looked very excited. Initially, Ye Tianshui had mainly entrusted him with this matter.

Besides, the video hall near "Lanyuan" is close, just separated by a small alley.

Right under Xu Kai's nose.

Of course, the severe crackdown includes pornography, gambling and drugs.

However, the main targets of arrest are the evil gangs that gather to cause trouble, because their actions take place in full view of the public and their destructive power and negative impact on society are obvious.

Although the harm caused by pornography, gambling and drugs is serious, they are always covered up and hide in dark corners.

Although the severe crackdown that began in 1983 lasted for three years, the truly "vigorous" arrest operations took place mainly in the first six months.

Until now, those scoundrels who had been hiding in dark corners have begun to stir again and are slowly appearing in various occasions.

Such brutal acts as looting and smashing can be prevented through strong sanctions imposed by the state apparatus.

As for the other things, once you are addicted, it is difficult to get rid of them until your family is destroyed.

For example, gambling and drugs.

Ye Tianshui: "We must arrest them, but we must cooperate with the anti-drug department and not disrupt their plans.

I saw Fang Minghui on the street today. That drug addict must have found a new way to buy drugs.

Ma Pi, look at his dead-like face, he even drifts when he walks, it seems like it has been a while since then.

You gather all our people together and conduct surprise inspections of all the video halls and dance halls in the streets and alleys of the capital.

Through those addicts, find the drug dealers.

Let's get this right. I'll discuss this with Director Su and take the initiative to contact the drug enforcement department to clean up the place inside and out."

Ye Tianshui had seen drug addicts in his previous life. Regardless of whether they were exposed to drugs actively or passively, they vowed to quit drugs time and time again, but relapsed again and again.

The reason is simple. Entering those drug rehabilitation centers will only allow them to meet more people with the same problems.

He had seen them swear off drugs over and over again, but he had never seen anyone finally get off drugs completely.

They live a life that is neither human nor ghost.

The rich squander their wealth, and the poor, after bringing harm to their family and those close to them, start stealing.

In the end, women either have to sell their bodies or go down the road of no return of "using drugs to feed drugs".

The benefits from the source are so huge, and the temptation is so great, that it cannot be stopped despite repeated bans, and I don't know how many families have been harmed by it.

After the task was assigned, Ye Tianshui went to the Central Advisory Commission again.

After working here for a few months, the initial excitement and freshness have passed.

Ye Tianshui discovered that although this was the country's power center, that power had nothing to do with him.

Here, one can see the end of one’s career at a glance, and the highest position is that of Secretary-General Qiao Zheng.

Moreover, this department...

Those who entered the Central Advisory Commission as secretaries with Ye Tianshui and wanted to seek benefits for themselves, so it would certainly be useful to go out and raise a tiger flag to scare people.

Ye Tianshui had mastered this routine when he was in Pingcheng, just after he was reborn.

But for Ye Tianshui now, he doesn't need to rely on these external forces to achieve his goals.

He has slowly grown up and become a person that many people need to look up to.

With huge "cash power" in his hands and a powerful backer, Ye Tianshui felt that the pond of the Central Advisory Commission, the center of power, was too shallow.

He had already built up the 'connections' that he needed to contact, and he felt that it would be a waste of his time if he continued to stay.

Ye Tianshui needs to discuss his development direction with Ye Jianfeng. The old man's keenness and guidance are still very important to him.

Walking into the gate of the Central Advisory Commission, Ye Tianshui felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He found Jiang Ying and asked in a low voice:

"What happened? Everyone seems to be gagged?"

Normally, there is a constant buzz of people talking and discussing here, but today it is quiet.

Jiang Ying saw Ye Tianshui asking, looked around cautiously, pulled him to a corner, and told Ye Tianshui in a low voice:

"Secretary General Qiao didn't know what happened and was taken away for questioning."

"Oh? Qiao Zheng was taken away?"

Ye Tianshui couldn't help but ask questions.

Was the action too fast this time?

He told Ye Jianfeng about his suspicion that someone in the Central Advisory Commission might be monitoring him.

The old man agreed to help him investigate secretly, and before Mr. Wu passed away, he had already found out that it was Secretary-General Qiao.

He called Mr. Wu and another old man too frequently.

Through wiretapping, Qiao Zheng would report to the two people every move of Ye Tianshui at work in the Central Advisory Commission.

After Wu Pingyan committed suicide out of fear of punishment, Ye Jianfeng once reminded Ye Tianshui:

"Xiao Shui, I suspect that the death of this young man is very strange. I wonder if Old Wu was involved.

This old guy is getting more and more confused as he grows older!"

Ye Tianshui felt that this was unlikely, after all, Wu Pingyan was his own grandson!

How could he do that? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!

"Is it possible? And the old man himself knows that his life has come to an end. Shouldn't he hope that his descendants will prosper and live well?"

"I hope I'm wrong. If I really do this...it's a bit poisonous, but it's a good idea.

Just think about it, what if Old Wu suddenly found out that the jade mine abroad belongs to us?

I know that his grandson arrested twenty-five of you and sentenced you to death.

If they are really dead, there will be no evidence. They will just admit to death and there will be nothing we can do to them.

But you just snatched all the people away. This matter is not complicated at all. A little investigation will reveal the truth and make sure that it was his grandson who framed him.

You mobilized a large number of people, took leave and brought so many people to Meihua County, and you didn't really want to hide it. Everyone who cares about you, or rather, the people who care about us, saw it.

Now is the period of severe crackdown. If you provoke others, they are cruel. Now you have provoked our Ye family. Ha, you say, you know that you are going to die, and you will die anyway, so why not cut off your arm to survive?

Once Wu Pingyan dies, the Wu family can stay out of this matter."

Ye Tianshui mentioned Ye Jianfeng's speculation to Su Jianxin, but Su Jianxin did not comment.

But his face looked ugly.

In front of Wu Pingtao, Ye Tianshui wanted to remind him several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Let Wu Pingtao investigate it himself. Ye Tianshui will not bother with two dead people anymore.

It doesn’t matter if we can’t find out the truth. There are so many major cases that have become unsolved cases in the archives of the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs.

"Do you know what he has done wrong? Do the higher-ups want to talk to him?"

Ye Tianshui asked the question even though he knew the answer, and he felt neither happy nor sad.
