Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After Feng Sizhe hung up the phone with Wang Zerong, his expression became serious again. He said to his secretary Yin Fenglei, "Fenglei, fax a copy of the case progress information to Deputy Secretary Wang later."

"Yes, I'll do it right away. Oh, by the way, boss, I just received a phone call from the Harbin Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, saying that Deputy Secretary Xiang of the Harbin Provincial Party Committee and Secretary Liu of the Commission for Discipline Inspection have brought people from the provincial capital to Tangche County, saying that they will cooperate with us in handling the case. You see..." Yin Fenglei reported to Feng Sizhe.

"Haha, these people are really impatient. They are not here to assist us in our work, they are obviously here to cheer someone up. It doesn't matter, if they want to come, let them come. We can't say anything because they have the upper hand. But this proves that the problem is not small." Feng Sizhe laughed. He was never afraid of making a big deal out of things. In fact, he was a good person at heart. As long as he was confident and upright, he would have the courage to dethrone the emperor.

In the afternoon, a group of staff members of the Harbin Provincial Party Committee, led by Xiang Tonghe and Liu Renliang, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, came to Tangche County. At this moment, Tangche County was completely boiling with the arrival of these people.

After Xiang Tongyi arrived in Tangche County, he immediately met with some local leaders and asked about Ying Weiqun's case.

Wu Chunfei, member of the Standing Committee of the Tangche County Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, made a report. He said that as soon as work started in the afternoon, personnel from the Inspection Office came to the County Public Security Bureau and took away Ying Weiqun and Sun Li, a couple involved in the case.

When Xiang Tong heard that the key figure Ying Weiquan was also taken away by Feng Sizhe's people, he said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to hand Comrade Ying Weiquan over to the people in the Inspectorate? How did you carry it out?"

Originally, Xiang Tong thought that as long as he controlled Ying Weiquan, he would have the bargaining chip to bargain with Feng Sizhe. Only in this way could he control half of the situation and have the power to advance and retreat. But now it is obvious that this approach is not feasible.

Wu Chunfei wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had his own reasons. The people in the inspection office dared to arrest even the county party secretary and the county discipline inspection committee secretary. If you asked him to take the lead and carry the other party, wouldn't that mean he wanted to be arrested? For this reason, when the inspection office came, he hid in his office and didn't dare to come out because he was afraid of being taken away. Think about it, he didn't even dare to show his face, so who would dare to block the way of the inspection office staff? In this way, Ying Weiquan and Sun Li were taken away safely.

Seeing Wu Chunfei's nervous and frightened look, Xiang Tong waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down first. Remember, the task I assigned to the public security system over the phone is to keep a close eye on the hotel where the inspector's office is staying from now on. If anyone of them comes out, you must keep a close eye on them. Of course, this is also to protect their safety. Do you understand?"

Xiang Tong really didn't want to bother with people like Wu Chunfei, because such people were not even worthy of their attention.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." When Wu Chunfei heard that Xiang Tong didn't want to punish him, he let out a long sigh and quickly retreated.

When only Xiang Tong and Liu Renliang were left in the room, Secretary Liu took the initiative to say, "Deputy Secretary Xiang, what do you think we should do? This Feng Sizhe is obviously well prepared. Now that he has the person in his hands, we are somewhat passive."

"Yes, the situation is a bit passive. Don't be too nervous. After all, this is our Harbin Province's territory. Besides, Secretary Tian has also called the Central Committee to complain. Believe me, Feng Sizhe won't last long." Xiang Tong could only comfort himself in this way. The only thing he could do now was to use the geographical advantage to fight Feng Sizhe.

At the Tangche County Party Committee Hotel, Feng Sizhe looked out the window and saw a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps outside the building. They were all policemen. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "We have become a bird in a cage now."

"Yes, boss. What's even more infuriating is that the local communications department has cut off all the telephone lines in the hotel on the pretext of checking the lines. Now it's impossible for us to fax anything. We have to go outside. And as soon as our people leave the hotel, someone will follow us, and they say they are here to protect us." Yin Fenglei gave Feng Sizhe a detailed report of the situation.

"Well, we should have thought of these a long time ago, haha." Feng Sizhe smiled. These little tricks actually have no real effect. Isn't it just cutting off the phone line and not being able to send faxes? What's the big deal? Think about how developed communications are now, and mobile phones are everywhere. They don't dare to cut off the signal. As for the problem of the phone, it's a piece of cake. After Feng Sizhe received the report, he called his uncle. Zhao Wanyong, the commander of the Northeast Military Region, clearly expressed his support for his nephew and immediately sent the elite of the military region's communication regiment to Tangche County. They will arrive in the evening, and everything will be restored at that time.

"Yes, the boss is very thoughtful. Their blockade has no practical significance at all." Yin Fenglei said in a manner that seemed to be flattering.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. You go and see if Sun Pinxing and Zhang Yongyi can reveal any valuable clues. I'll go see Yingtao's parents." Feng Sizhe didn't want the people around him to just flatter him. He wanted to hear the truth.

In the next room, Feng Sizhe met Yingtao and her family of three.

After Ying Weiquan and Sun Li were taken to the hotel from the Public Security Bureau, they were a little confused at first. But after seeing their daughter here, they seemed to understand something. Of course, it was natural for mother and daughter to hug each other and cry for a while.

When she was almost done crying, Ying Weiquan, as a man and the head of the family, calmly asked his daughter, "Tao'er, why are you here?"

"Dad, I came here with the comrades from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Inspection Office. They said they could handle your case, and I was invited here as a witness." Yingtao answered with a guilty conscience. In front of her old-fashioned father, she didn't dare to mention Feng Sizhe, because she didn't know what would happen if she did.

Cherry's reasons certainly couldn't convince Ying Weiquan. As the deputy director of the county government office for so many years, although he had not seen much of the world, he still knew some basic things. He could understand that his daughter said she was a witness, but it seemed unlikely that the people from the Inspection Office brought her from Kyoto to Tangche County just because of this. What kind of department is the Inspection Office? It is definitely an authoritative department of the government. It is also one of the most powerful departments in the supreme Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Would such a department bring other people in and out casually? In the end, I just made Cherry's confession in Kyoto and left it at that. I would never bring anyone to the remote Tangche County.

"Why don't you and dad tell the truth?" Looking at his daughter, Ying Weiquan said seriously.

Seeing the old man scare his daughter, Sun Li was the first to stop, "Okay, old man, the family has finally reunited, why do you have to scare her?"

"I'm not trying to scare her. I just want to know the truth. I don't want... I don't want her to sacrifice anything to save an old man like me." Ying Weiquan didn't say the more unpleasant words that followed, because this was his daughter.

Yingtao has been very beautiful since she was little. Many people say that she looks like a star or a fairy from heaven. Ying Weiquan knew that if he wanted to use his daughter's resources, he could just find a rich man to marry her. That way, she would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of her life. But he did not do that. He wanted his daughter to follow her own path, so he sent her to Kyoto to attend an acting school.

His daughter was also very hardworking. Her fame had been growing over the years, but there had been no bad news about her, such as scandals, which made him very happy as a father, especially after he knew that his daughter had become a member of the PLA General Staff, he was even happier.

Ying Weiquan had thought about other things. He had also thought that his daughter had met some "noble person" to achieve such success. But this thought only flashed through his mind. Compared with this thought, he believed that all this was achieved by his daughter's own efforts. But today, his daughter did come to Tangche County with the people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Inspection Office, and these staff members respected his daughter very much. This made him feel that there must be something going on. Otherwise, even if his daughter was a star, she would not have any influence on the Inspection Office.

"What sacrifice?" Hearing her father say this, Yingtao immediately stood up from her mother's arms. She and Feng Sizhe really loved each other, but they couldn't be together openly because of their status. Before this, Yingtao had never thought that she would ask Feng Sizhe for help because of family problems. Of course, Feng Sizhe probably wouldn't have thought of this. If he had thought of this, Yingtao might not be the way he is now. At least under Feng Sizhe's care, his life should be very comfortable.

"No sacrifice? If not sacrifice, why would you stay with them? And I just saw that they respect you very much." Ying Weiquan felt that something was wrong when he saw his daughter so excited.

"They respect me because... it's not what you think anyway." Yingtao thought that the people in the inspection office respected him so much because of Feng Sizhe's face. Although these people didn't know her relationship with Director Feng, because Yin Fenglei and Li Shuang respected her very much, they didn't dare to offend her. But despite Feng Sizhe's relationship, things were not as Dad Ying Weiquan thought.

"What does that look like?" Seeing that his daughter didn't know how to explain it, Ying Quanwei felt that something was wrong.
