Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"No connection? Haha, Comrade Zuo Anran, this is a dishonest behavior of yours. Let me ask you, have you ever had tea with Feng Sizhe in the Oriental Club? Has Feng Sizhe ever given the green light for your Enran Real Estate, allowing you to pass the qualification inspection of the provincial engineering inspection team one step ahead of time?" Pang Yijun told him several pieces of evidence in his hand.

"Yes." Zuo Anran had nothing to hide, so of course he answered very frankly.

"Really? Then you just said that it had nothing to do with Feng Sizhe. If that's not a lie, then what is it?" Pang Yijun asked with his eyes wide open.

"How can this be considered a lie? It's just that we had a meal together. Secretary Pang, there are more and more officials in Ducheng Province who have dinner with me. Does that mean I have a relationship with all of them?" Zuo Anran is the president of a real estate company after all. She comes into contact with a lot of people and has seen the world. It is obviously difficult for her to be punished for a cliché.

"Zuo Anran, answer honestly and don't make excuses." Suddenly, Ouyang Ling slammed the table and yelled at Zuo Anran.

Ouyang Ling's roar really scared Zuo Anran. She didn't understand why he was angry at her. Did she do anything wrong? "What's wrong? Why do you talk to me like this? I'm not under your jurisdiction. Are you saying that just because I had dinner with Governor Feng, I'm guilty? I don't accept it."

As she was talking, Zuo Anran actually started crying. This was something she did in a moment of desperation. Women have always had three magic weapons: crying, making a fuss, and hanging themselves. Now she was just using the first trick at the right time.

Sure enough, when Zuo Anran started crying, Ouyang Ling and Pang Yijun lost their temper. They really couldn't get anything out of a woman who was just crying.

After a while, the two walked out of the room somewhat angrily. After they came out, Ouyang Ling arranged for Pang Yijun, "Send two female comrades to keep an eye on her. If you want to bring down Feng Sizhe, I think this person is a crucial move. Do you understand?"

. . . . . . . . . . . .

After Guan Denggui hit a snag on the phone with Ouyang Ling, he called several old comrades in the Central Committee with whom he had a good relationship and told them that the investigation team of the Z Discipline Inspection Commission did not follow the rules. Those people also agreed to report it to the higher authorities, but who would have thought that they called back not long after and told him that this matter was approved by Comrade Lu Guodong, so it was not a violation of the rules. They also advised Guan Denggui to think more open-mindedly, and that the innocent will be innocent. The investigation team will investigate, and as long as there is nothing wrong, there will be nothing wrong.

These people said this, but Guan Denggui knew that Ouyang Ling and his men were not easy to deal with. This time they came with such a fierce force in order to find faults with Feng Sizhe. Would they easily give up before finding any faults? Obviously, it was unlikely, so he could not wait any longer. He had to do something.

Since the old connections in the central government didn't work, Guan Denggui thought he just had to go find Ji Quanyong. With Mr. Fang's relationship, if she was willing to say a word, Zuo Anran should be fine.

So, Guan Denggui took a car to Villa No. 1, the home of Ji Quanyong, chairman of the Provincial People's Congress.

It has been many years since Guan Denggui last visited the Ji family. Ji Quanyong was very surprised by his sudden visit. The two met in the living room of the Ji family.

"Old Guan, how many years have you not come to our house?" After Guan Denggui sat down, Ji Quanyong said with some emotion. He thought back to when they were young, their relationship was good. But later, due to their different work philosophies, their differences became increasingly greater. After they both held high positions, they began to compete with each other. It was only because Ji Quanyong had the support of Mr. Fang that he naturally acted superior and always suppressed Guan Denggui.

"Yeah, I can't even remember how many years it has been." Guan Denggui said with emotion. When he was young, he still admired Ji Quanyong's work attitude and ability, but later, as he became more and more powerful, he changed a little, and this change also changed the relationship between the two.

"Haha, we were still young at that time, and we often drank together. Sometimes we would quarrel over work-related issues, but after the problem was resolved, we were still good friends. Come to think of it, those days are really nostalgic." Ji Quanyong's eyes were recalling every bit of the past.

"Yes, I also miss the relationship between us at that time. It was a pure personal friendship and working relationship." Guan Denggui couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, Old Guan, you must have something to do this time. Tell me, if there is anything I can help you with, I will definitely help." Ji Quanyong could of course guess that Guan Denggui must have something to do when he came to see him at this time, and it must be a big thing, otherwise why would he let him come to see him with such an old face?

Guan Denggui was waiting for Ji Quanyong to ask, "Director Ji, this is what happened. The comrades of the Z Discipline Inspection Commission's investigation team took away Zuo Anran, the chairman of Anran Real Estate, without the permission of our Provincial CPPCC. Doesn't this violate the regulations? Now the other members of our CPPCC are in a panic and have no mind to work. As the chairman of the Provincial CPPCC, of ​​course I have to take care of this matter. However, I called Deputy Secretary Ouyang Ling, but he didn't buy it at all. I think it's because I don't have much face, so I thought of asking Director Ji to come forward. I believe that no one in Ducheng Province dares not to give you face."

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Ji Quanyong frowned. He had also heard rumors among the people that Guan Denggui and Zuo Anran had an unclear relationship, so he could understand the other party's current mood. As for the other committee members' feeling of being out of work, it really didn't count. After all, it was just taking away a committee member with a businessman identity, which would not have much impact on the work of the Provincial CPPCC.

Of course, since Guan Denggui asked him for help, he would help if he could. So in front of Guan Denggui, he took out the phone beside him and called Pang Yijun.

Pang Yijun's cell phone also rang at this moment. When he saw that it was Ji Quanyong calling, he did not dare to neglect it. He answered the call immediately and answered the question.

After talking for about five minutes, Ji Quanyong hung up the phone again and said with a serious expression, "Old Guan, I'm afraid this matter may be difficult."

"Difficulty? What difficulty?" Guan Denggui asked.

"Old Guan, Secretary Lu already knows about this matter and has agreed to it, so it is obviously difficult to make the leader change his mind. And Comrade Pang Yijun just said that there seems to be something wrong with Zuo Anran, and he still needs to be investigated thoroughly, so it is unlikely to release him now." Ji Quanyong said in a deep voice.

Even Ji Quanyong said this, Guan Denggui knew that it was unrealistic to release him. Thinking that Zuo Anran would be questioned by the investigation team and he could not help at all, he felt worse and worse. "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll leave first, Director Ji."

Guan Denggui did not meet his expectations, so he naturally got up and left. If it was not for saving Zuo Anran this time, he would never set foot in the Ji family's door in his life.

Guan Denggui, who had just left the Ji family, became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He had worked all his life and believed that he had had power and was considered a high-ranking official, but he could not even protect the daughter of his comrade-in-arms who saved his life. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't get rid of this knot. He was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood and then fell to the ground.

Fortunately, when Guan Denggui fell to the ground, he was not far from his car, where his secretary and driver were. They were shocked to see their boss vomiting blood and falling down. They ran over quickly, lifted Guan Denggui into the car, and drove towards the nearest hospital.

Guan Denggui fell ill just like that, and he was in the emergency room. After all, he was old and in poor health, so it was understandable that he fell ill when he encountered unpleasant things.

When the news of Guan Denggui's illness reached the investigation team, Ouyang Ling was not anxious but happy when he heard it, which made Pang Yijun on the side very puzzled.

"Deputy Secretary Ouyang, Guan Denggui is ill. The impact of this matter will only get worse and worse. It will also put pressure on us. Why are you happy?" Pang Yijun was very puzzled. Isn't Ouyang Ling afraid that the higher-ups will find fault with their investigation team because of this matter?

"Haha, this is good news. Alas, I can't explain it to you now. So you should tell Zuo Anran the news right now. Humph! I want to see what choice this woman will make." Ouyang Ling looked confident.

"Tell Zuo Anran?" Pang Yijun was stunned. He really didn't understand what was the point of doing these things at this time. But he was his superior, and since he had arranged it this way, he just had to do it.

The Political and Legal Affairs Commission compound of the Capital Province.

Compared with the busyness of the Discipline Inspection Commission, the work here is indeed in order. Although Secretary Tang Jian also wants to stir up a commotion like the Discipline Inspection Commission and find faults with Feng Sizhe, the head of the investigation team of the Law Committee is Zu Rongguang, who is good friends with Feng Sizhe. In addition, Deputy Secretary Zuo Bing also has a good relationship with Young Master Feng. These two people have joined forces to sideline him, leaving him with power but nowhere to use it.

In the deputy secretary's office, Zuo Bing and Zu Rongguang both had unhappy expressions on their faces.

"Have you heard? Comrade Guan Denggui fell ill." Zuo Bing said with a sigh.
