Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Secretary Fang, can you be responsible for what you said? Did Deputy Mayor Du really make this call? And did he really say this? Inviting you to his house for dinner?" Zhong Ping was still a little worried that Fang Xianzhi would lie to him. In order to confirm that this was all true, he needed to ask again.

"That's right, Director Zhong Ping and comrades from the Municipal Party Committee Investigation Team, I guarantee with my party spirit and principles that what I said is true. It is actually so. I made this move under difficult circumstances because Deputy Mayor Du called me and hoped that I would show mercy and release his family. If you don't believe me, you can check the call records at home. This is not something that can be made up by talking nonsense. Besides, I don't have the guts to fabricate faults against the city leaders." Fang Xianzhi was very sure. After all, it was not a face-to-face talk, and there was no evidence for what they were talking about. But they talked over the phone, and at least there was a call record there. No one else could deny this.

Thinking that Fang Xianzhi was just a county party secretary and really didn't dare to say anything about this, Zhong Ping nodded and said, "Well, Secretary Fang, I've written down your words. How about this, since the case is confidential, we hope that you won't tell anyone about this question now. Only you know it, okay?"

Zhong Ping had a selfish motive when he said this. He wanted to suppress the matter first, and then find an opportunity to call Du Tianhe to ask if it was true and what to do next. Should he continue to investigate? If he did, he would probably be found out first. You know, Du Tianhe also has political enemies in Yongyang City. As the executive vice mayor, there are many vice mayors eyeing his position. Maybe many people are waiting for him to have problems so that they can take him down and replace him.

Seeing that Zhong Ping was no longer as cold as before, Fang Xianzhi knew that Feng Sizhe's trick had worked. It seemed that Zheng Jian was in a dilemma. Okay, if your investigation team wants to continue the investigation, you must first find out whether the matter is related to Deputy Mayor Du Tianhe, otherwise everything will be in vain.

After Zhong Ping sent Fang Xianzhili out of the hotel, he picked up his cell phone and called Du Tianhe.

Du Tianhe didn't expect Fang Xianzhi to turn the tables and blame himself for releasing Shitou. Indeed, as Shitou's brother-in-law, he shouldn't have made the call. Although it was understandable for him to call to inquire about the matter out of family affection, he shouldn't have ordered Fang Xianzhi to release him. This violated the organizational principles, and the fault would be on him first. "This bastard Fang Xianzhi, he actually turned the tables on me first, it really pissed me off." Du Tianhe couldn't help but curse after receiving the call from Zhong Ping.

"Mayor Du, now is not the time to curse. You should think about what to do next. Fang Xianzhi's confession is not conducive to our work." Zhong Ping was clear-headed. He came here to find out who was involved in the case of Shi Tou being beaten, but now a problem has arisen, which makes him very embarrassed.

"Oh, by the way, I want to ask, how is Shi Tou's injury?" Du Tianhe then remembered the purpose of sending out this investigation team. Fang Xianzhi's move was just a little unexpected to him. As long as he thought of a way, he could still get through it. He just didn't know how serious his brother-in-law Shi Tou's injury was. He heard that Shi Tou would not be able to have sex in the future, so he couldn't help but take it seriously. It is conceivable that as the only male of this generation in the Ning family, if Shi Tou was disabled and no longer a real man, how would his wife make a fuss.

"Mayor Du." When talking about Shi Tou's condition, Zhong Ping had to remain silent for a while.

"Tell me what's going on. I can handle it." Du Tianhe replied. In fact, he had already prepared for the worst behind his silence.

"Mayor Du, I just went to the county hospital before lunch. Shitou is still hiding on the bed and hasn't woken up. I read the medical records written by the doctor and know that he has four broken bones, including in his limbs, but these are all reversible. The most important thing is that his lower body was hit by a hard object. I'm afraid that if he wants to be a normal man in the future..."

"Okay, stop talking. Zhong Ping, I have high expectations of you this time. No matter what, you must find out who did this. Don't be afraid. I'll back you up. If you encounter any problems, just keep moving forward.

Hearing that the rumor had become a fact, Du Tianhe was also angry. These people were too cruel. It was just suspected of inappropriate behavior towards a woman, but there was no need for you to kill her with a stick. It seemed that the people in Dahu County really did not take themselves seriously, otherwise they would not treat their brother-in-law like this.

Du Tianhe's harsh words reached Zhong Ping's ears, making him feel the anger of his leader. "Well, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly, but Mayor Du, you have to pay attention to the issues raised by Fang Xianzhi."

"Well, I will find a way to solve this problem quickly." Du Tianhe responded. At this time, Fang Xianzhi also came to cause trouble for him. It seemed that he needed to have a deep talk with him. Otherwise, he would have to punish him severely. He wanted to let others know that he, the executive vice mayor, was not a mere figurehead who could be stepped on by anyone.

After a whole afternoon of careful consideration, Du Tianhe picked up the desk phone and called the room of Fang Xianzhi, secretary of the Dahu County Party Committee.

Fang Xianzhi was also thinking about this while writing a self-criticism with his head down. This was a self-criticism report about how he had given a request to release the criminal suspect Ning Bentou.

He knew that he had made a mistake in the matter of the stone, which was to call the county public security bureau and ask them to release him. Other things, such as convening the Standing Committee to discuss and make a quick decision after Feng Sizhe was injured, were not wrong. Everything was done in accordance with the rules and regulations, and no one could catch him. As long as this issue was made clear, or part of the responsibility was pushed to Du Tianhe, then at most he would be known as a person with weak organizational principles and be warned and criticized.

He was writing a self-review with a pen in his hand when the phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. He reached out and answered it out of habit. "Hello, this is Fang Xianzhi."

"Comrade Fang Xianzhi? I'm Du Tianhe."

"Deputy Mayor Du?" Fang Xianzhi was stunned when he heard the other party's voice. He didn't expect Du Tianhe to call him at this time. But after hesitating for a moment, he returned to his normal voice and said, "Hello, Deputy Mayor Du, I am Fang Xianzhi. Do you have any instructions from the leader?"

"Haha, it's not really an instruction." Du Tianhe laughed loudly on the other end of the phone. In fact, he was thinking in his heart, what about instructions? What instructions am I giving? Aren't you afraid that you will sell them to me again?

"Hey, Old Fang, I still want to thank you for speaking for my brother-in-law." Du Tianhe was talking to Fang Xianzhi while suppressing his anger. After thinking about it, he decided to use courtesy before force. If he could use persuasion to convince Fang Xianzhi to take back what he said to Zheng Jian, it would be great. Of course, if this kid didn't know what to do and still said that, he would also have other methods. Although that method was a bit rogue, there was no other way. Sometimes, in order to win, you really need to do whatever it takes.

Du Tianhe didn't come to reprimand him, but to thank him, which made Fang Xianzhi a little confused. "Deputy Mayor Du, you're too polite. I didn't do anything. Everything was done according to the organization..."

"Okay, okay, Old Fang, you don't have to explain anything. No matter what, it was you who called your county bureau to let them release him. I still have to accept this favor. Alas, no one expected that my brother-in-law would be so disappointing that he would do such a thing after being released." Du Tianhe interrupted what Fang Xianzhi was about to say. Just kidding, if he was asked to say everything that was going to happen, what else would he say next? He had to take the initiative.

When talking about this, Fang Xianzhi was indeed very regretful. He had not expected Ning Bentou to be like this. If he had known this, he would never have called the county bureau. "Yeah, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, alas!"

"Yes, it was something no one had expected. But fortunately, the incident has passed, and now the investigation team sent by the Municipal Party Committee has also gone down. How is it? Do you feel the burden on your shoulders is heavy? Hahaha." Du Tianhe forced a laugh and led the topic in the direction he wanted.

"Fortunately, since the organization wants to investigate this matter, as the secretary of the Dahu County Party Committee, I will definitely cooperate with their work. At the same time, as a party member, I will tell the truth. I will..."

"Very good, Mr. Fang is very disciplined." This was the second time Du Tianhe interrupted Fang Xianzhi. Because he wanted to guide him in what to say, not just listen to what he said. "Being well organized is a good thing. But some things have already happened, and it's useless to review them. It's better to be open and aboveboard and take responsibility for everything. That way, others will still remember your kindness, don't you think?"
