Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Speak." Feng Sizhe nodded. He had long felt that something was wrong. Xiong Xinsheng was obviously not in the same group with Wu Baoyin, and the fact that he could sit safely in the position of the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau showed that there must be someone supporting him in Luohai City. If things went wrong, the level of this person supporting him would not be too low.

Feng Sizhe's guess turned out to be correct. According to what Feng Xijun had just learned from Wu Baoyin, Xiong Xinsheng did have someone above him, and this person's position was indeed not low. He was Yang Xichang, secretary of the Luohai Municipal Party Committee.

The police chief of a city has the support of the municipal party secretary, so naturally he will have much more power, and his power will also be much greater, which makes it normal for him to ignore the political and legal committee secretary Wu Baoyin. Relatively speaking, Wu Baoyin has a good relationship with Luohai Mayor Zhao Erhua, but Zhao Erhua's backer is in the province, and he is an ordinary deputy governor. Relatively speaking, he is not very familiar with the situation in Luohai. On the contrary, Yang Xichang is a man of Wang Guoguang, the secretary of Zhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee, so naturally he has much more power in Luohai City and has always suppressed Zhao Erhua.

After listening to Feng Xijun's introduction of the situation in Luohai City, Feng Sizhe knew that he was caught in a political struggle. If he had to use Xiong Xinsheng as a scapegoat, he would naturally offend Yang Xichang, the secretary of the Luohai Municipal Party Committee, and by association, Wang Guoguang, which was no small matter. Whether it was Wang Zhenhuai's matter or Yu Fan's matter, they were all forced to fight back, and they were all within Feng Sizhe's jurisdiction, so Feng Sizhe intervened in the personnel department. However, relatively speaking, if he wanted to use Xiong Xinsheng as a scapegoat this time, it would be tantamount to challenging Wang Guoguang's authority, and it was conceivable that he would not agree.

Feng Xijun stood opposite Feng Sizhe for a long time without finishing his words. He knew the consequences of this matter. If Feng Sizhe wanted to take care of this matter, he would most likely offend Wang Guoguang, or even be tantamount to openly declaring war with this man. This would obviously be disadvantageous for Feng Sizhe's current situation.

Feng Sizhe sat there thinking for a while, but he didn't make any final decision, because he knew that once he made this decision, he couldn't regret or change it. After all, he had to be very careful. At this time, Secretary Liu Fei walked in, "Boss, Director Xiong Xinsheng is here, what do you think we should do?"

Liu Fei had already learned from Feng Sizhe that his lover Wang Ling was safe, so he was not so nervous about it.

"Let's see the situation first." Feng Sizhe said to Liu Fei, then walked out the door with Feng Xijun.

In the lobby of Lishui Hot Spring, Xiong Xinsheng, dressed in police uniform, was standing there chatting with Wu Baoyin. He looked relaxed and not nervous at all. He even seemed to be on equal footing with Wu Baoyin. In fact, this was indeed the case. Yang Xichang was preparing to propose a position to Xiong Xinsheng, that is, to be the deputy mayor of Luohai City. If this proposal was passed, it was conceivable that Xiong Xinsheng would be a deputy department-level official, and the gap between him and Wu Baoyin would be even smaller.

"Mayor Feng, Secretary Feng." As soon as he saw Feng Sizhe and Feng Xijun, Wu Baoyin quickly stood at attention and spoke very respectfully.

When Xiong Xinsheng heard Wu Baoyin's address, he immediately followed suit and said, "Hello, Mayor Feng, Hello, Secretary Feng," and at the same time he glanced at the two of them with a sly look.

Xiong Xinsheng knew Feng Xijun. After all, he was the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Zhuangcheng City and the director of the Public Security Bureau. However, it was impossible for him not to know him as his supervisor. However, it was the first time he met Feng Sizhe. Looking at this young man in his thirties, he felt envious for a while.

"Well, are you Chief Xiong Xinsheng?" Feng Sizhe frowned and asked Xiong Xinsheng. He didn't know why, but although Xiong Xinsheng was wearing a police uniform, he didn't give people the feeling of a policeman. Instead, he had a bandit-like air, like the boss of a street thug.

"Yes, Mayor Feng, I am Xiong Xinsheng, the director of the Luohai Municipal Public Security Bureau." Xiong Xinsheng nodded, at least pretending to be respectful on the surface.

"Oh, then do you know what we called you here for this time?" Looking at Xiong Xinsheng, Feng Sizhe asked very seriously. Although Feng Sizhe has not yet decided whether to take action against this person, this does not prevent him from testing this person first to see how capable he is.

"I don't know." Xiong Xinsheng shook his head. In fact, he really didn't know because Wu Baoyin didn't tell him anything.

"Oh, well, let me tell you, your son Xiong Xiaofei is suspected of a kidnapping case. Do you know that now?" Feng Sizhe had no intention of testing Xiong Xinsheng anymore. He simply stated his purpose directly. Sometimes doing so can achieve the best direct effect.

"What?" After hearing this, Xiong Xinsheng was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Feng Xijun and Wu Baoyin. After seeing the two of them nodded at the same time, he understood that they didn't call him here to summon him, but to call him to task.

As the chief of the Public Security Bureau of a city, Xiong Xinsheng could ignore the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee. Not only did he have the support of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but the most important thing was that this person was very capable, at least his reaction speed was super strong. Now, when he saw the faces of Feng Sizhe and others, he knew that he had to be careful in his next response, otherwise, something unfavorable to him might happen at any time.

"Mayor Feng, Secretary Feng, Secretary Wu, what's going on? What happened to my son Xiong Xiaofei?" Xiong Xinsheng was reluctant to express his opinion before he figured out what happened.

"Comrade Baoyin, please talk to Director Xiong." Feng Sizhe looked at this Xiong Xinsheng and said with a bit of indifference. He didn't want to spend too much time on a police chief at the level of a deputy director. But from his words, it can be heard that he seems to be a little angry, because he called Wu Baoyin Comrade Baoyin and called Xiong Zunzun Director Xiong, which is an obvious difference.

After receiving Feng Sizhe's instructions, Wu Baoyin repeated what Sun Dabao, the owner of Lishui Hot Spring, had said.

"What? This is impossible. My son is definitely not that kind of person. Sun Dabao must have made it up. If you don't believe me, call him here and I'll ask him in person." Xiong Xinsheng's tone became much stronger when he heard the evidence Wu Baoyin said. First, he knew what the consequences would be if the crime was established. Not to mention that his son would be severely punished by the law and sentenced, it would also be very disadvantageous to his father, the police chief. He might even be suspended or laid off because of this. Second, this matter was just what Sun Dabao said verbally, and there was no other evidence at all. So the matter was done. Sometimes, human evidence is the most practical in front of the law, but it is also the most unreliable. And the most important point is the third point. With Sun Dabao's identity, he naturally would not know who was with Xiong Xiaofei, but Xiong Xinsheng knew it very well. He knew that Zhang Dashan and Shen Quan came to Luohai City this time, and he even agreed that his son would be on good terms with them. Sometimes, wife diplomacy and children diplomacy is also a good way to maintain relationships with each other. Xiong Xinsheng can be said to have tried every possible means. Since this time Feng Sizhe, Feng Xijun and others are targeting not only his son, then he, Xiong Xinsheng, will not make a big deal out of it, because he believes that if the matter gets out of hand, neither the provincial discipline secretary Zhang Hai nor the deputy secretary of Zhuangcheng City Shen Yaping will stand idly by. In that case, he does not believe that Feng Sizhe can bear this kind of pressure alone.

"Call Sun Dabao." Seeing Xiong Xinsheng yelling here, Feng Sizhe waved his hand impatiently. He didn't believe that Xiong Xinsheng would do anything weird next. Sun Dabao had already signed the testimony, and he was not afraid that the other party would go back on his word or deny it.

Soon, Wu Baoyin brought Sun Dabao to the office. However, when Sun Dabao saw Xiong Xinsheng in police uniform, he was obviously stunned. Then Xiong Xinsheng spoke first, "Sun Dabao, you are also a big boss and a legal businessman. Can you please think before you speak? You said my son was involved in a kidnapping case. What is going on? You must explain it to me clearly."

"Ah?" Sun Dabao was stunned at first, but after seeing the look in Xiong Xinsheng's eyes, especially after hearing what he said before that he was a big boss and a legal businessman, he immediately understood. It seemed that the other party was trying to support him, or to help him for the sake of his son. If so, he had to change his confession.

That's right, he changed his statement. After Xiong Xinsheng asked these questions, Sun Dabao immediately changed his statement, "Chief Xiong, I didn't say your son was involved in this matter. What I said just now was all forced. I was scared by those policemen. They said that if I didn't do what they said, they would beat me to death. I was afraid, so I did what they said."

"Sun Dabao, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Baoyin was immediately annoyed when he heard Sun Dabao suddenly overturn everything he had just confessed. You know, it was his people who were watching Sun Dabao and making his confession. If Sun Dabao said now that he was threatened, wouldn't that be talking about himself?

"Secretary Wu, you don't need to scare him like this. I think the leaders present here, as well as you and I, all know what the situation is. I believe the leaders will make a decision on the matter, right, Mayor Feng, Secretary Feng?" Xiong Xinsheng looked as if he didn't care about Wu Baoyin. As he spoke, he looked at Feng Sizhe and Feng Xijun.

Including Feng Sizhe, no one expected that Sun Dabao would change his confession on the spot, and so thoroughly. Although Feng Sizhe knew very well that Sun Dabao was lying because of some hint from Xiong Xinsheng, the law requires evidence and everything cannot be based on feelings and inferences.
