Rebirth of the Rising Sun

The next task was for Zhong Ping to start talking to the county party committee members of Dahu County one by one. The first person he found was Jia Bin, the third-ranked deputy secretary of the county party committee.

Jia Bin had learned some information about Fang Xianzhi's detention beforehand, but it was not until he met Zhong Ping that he realized that these were not groundless and the feelings were real.

Seeing Jia Bin's incredulous expression, Zhong Ping guessed that he was indeed shocked by the news, and then continued, "How is it, Comrade Jia Bin? Fang Xianzhi did such a thing. Do you think it is reasonable to arrest him? Such a comrade would do such a thing for his own personal feelings. Didn't you expect it?"

"I really didn't expect it. To be honest, I'm still very shocked." Jia Bin spoke the truth. In fact, he was thinking more about how Feng Sizhe would react after hearing the news. Now that everyone at his level knew about this matter, as the county magistrate, Feng Sizhe should have known it even more. But he didn't reveal anything to him in advance, nor did he tell him what he should do? What did this mean? Could it be that he was embarrassed to say anything? After all, if Fang Xianzhi stepped down, Feng Sizhe would probably be the one who benefited the most.

Thinking this way, Jia Bin decided not to express his opinion for the time being, and would make a decision after he went back to ask Feng Sizhe for clarification. "Well, Director Zhong Ping, this matter came too suddenly, and I don't know what to say for a while. I think I should go back and think about it carefully."

"Okay, Comrade Jia Bin, go back and think about it, but don't take too long. The leaders of your county committee will have to make a collective statement tomorrow morning at the latest. I also have to go back to the city to report."

"Okay, I understand." Jia Bin nodded. An afternoon and an evening were enough for him to have a good discussion with Feng Sizhe.

Jia Bin did not raise any doubts directly, which made Zhong Ping feel that this was a good sign. He then arranged a conversation with other county party committee leaders. Except for the discipline secretary Lu Zhuo who was not in the county party committee, the others basically expressed their attitudes clearly.

The Feng faction was basically silent, neither supporting nor opposing. This was within Zhong Ping's expectations. At this time, they might not do anything too aggressive for the sake of face. In fact, it didn't matter, as long as they didn't get in his way. People like Qiu Fugui's faction, such as Propaganda Minister Song Dawei, United Front Minister Wei Xiang, and Labor Union Chairman Lin Jianli, clearly expressed their support for the results of the investigation team. They all said that they would vote in support of the decision of the Municipal Party Committee Investigation Team at the County Party Committee Standing Committee meeting tomorrow morning.

In this case, only Cui Yan, director of the county party committee office, was left. When talking with Zhong Ping, he said that this was impossible and that it was unfair to Secretary Fang. Fang Xianzhi was not that kind of person. He would not do such a thing, and he did not have the ability to do such a thing.

Zhong Ping was very annoyed by Cui Yan's behavior. It was obvious that your master was in trouble, but you were still complaining. For this reason, Zhong Ping did not give him a good face and simply waved his hand, "Okay, this is the decision of the Municipal Party Committee Investigation Team, and it has been supported by most of your county party committee comrades. Your opinion is nothing to worry about."

Indeed, it was impossible for Cui Yan, the director of the county party committee office, to overturn the decision of the municipal party committee investigation team. However, many people overlooked a key figure, the county discipline secretary Lu Zhuo, who was not in the county party committee because he was too busy with work.

After talking with Feng Sizhe, Lu Zhuo decided to do something. Of course, he did not ask his cousin, who was the secretary general of the provincial party committee, for permission in advance. That was because he knew his cousin well. If he asked for permission on this matter, his cousin would definitely not agree. After all, he already knew that someone in the provincial party committee had spoken for Du Tianhe. If he investigated the matter at this time, it would not only target Du Tianhe, but also the leader of the provincial party committee. Therefore, he decided to investigate secretly. And under Zheng Jian's unpreparedness, he did achieve certain results.

He learned from the security guards outside the county party committee compound that Fang Xianzhi had not made any special moves since Shitou was put down until he was killed. He also checked his family's phone calls and found that there were no suspicious calls. Based on this, it can be said that Fang Xianzhi was not the mastermind behind this incident.

After proving this, Lu Zhuo decided to talk to Mr. Bai from Pengfei Company. She has become a key figure in this case because Zheng Jian now describes Ning Bentou as a victim. If Bai Caixia is willing to come out to testify and prove that she was indeed kidnapped by Ning Bentou, then everything will be clear and at least many decisions of the Municipal Party Committee Investigation Team can be overturned.

But when Lu Zhuo quietly came to Pengfei Company, he was told that President Bai had gone back to Kyoto for recuperation due to health reasons. Not only did she go, but the only witness that day, the driver who drove her, also disappeared. So all the clues were cut off here.

Bai Caixia's sudden departure made Lu Zhuo think about many things in a very short period of time.

As we all know, Bai Caixia and Feng Sizhe have a close relationship, and they often call each other brother and sister. In this case, Bai Caixia suddenly left. Could this be Feng Sizhe's intention? Could it be that Feng Sizhe also recognized the decision of the Municipal Party Committee Investigation Team? Could it be that he wanted to watch Fang Xianzhi fall and take the position of secretary? If this is true, then his problem is too big, and he has misjudged Feng Sizhe. This person who keeps saying that he doesn't understand the decision of the Municipal Party Committee Investigation Team is a double-faced person.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhuo was very angry and ran straight to the county guesthouse. He wanted to find Feng Sizhe to ask him clearly. Could it be that he really watched the unjust case happen around him and did nothing just to become the secretary? For his own future, he stepped on other people's shoulders to climb up?

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark outside. Feng Sizhe had just sent away Jia Bin and a large group of Feng's people. The purpose of these people coming was the same, which was to hear Feng Sizhe's opinion so that they could make a decision at the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow.

But Feng Sizhe did not express his attitude, just waved his hand and said he was tired. Things have come to this point, of course he will not make a clear attitude immediately, he is now waiting, waiting for someone's follow-up actions, if he expresses himself, then he will lose the space to move forward or backward.

Just after sending everyone away, Feng Sizhe was able to sit down quietly and watch TV. The door was pushed open by Lu Zhuo, and he saw Su Si standing beside Lu Zhuo, looking at Feng Sizhe with an embarrassed expression.

Su Xi was the one who was in charge of blocking the door, wanting Feng Sizhe to be quiet for a while. But she didn't expect that Lu Zhuo would rush over directly after he came. It was normal for her, a woman, to be unable to stop him.

It seemed that the person was Lu Zhuo. Feng Sizhe did not mean to blame Su Qian. "Okay, Xiao Su, you go watch outside. Secretary Lu and I will sit here and watch TV for a while."

Feng Sizhe's lack of surprise and calmness made Lu Zhuo, who had a lot to say, at a loss as to where to start. He had no choice but to sit in the chair next to Feng Sizhe and watch TV with him. The National News Network was what many grassroots cadres relied on to understand and analyze national affairs.

Feng Sizhe had no intention of talking, and Lu Zhuo didn't want to ask too much. He thought it would only be a few dozen minutes, so he just had to be patient.

The thirty-minute news broadcast seemed so long to Lu Zhuo today. After a long while, the CCTV host finally spoke the closing remarks. Lu Zhuo was also shocked at this moment, wanting to say something to Feng Sizhe.

But Feng Sizhe waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, and stood up, "Come with me, I will take you to see someone."

Lu Zhuo stood up and mechanically followed Feng Sizhe out of the room. He could feel that Feng Sizhe understood the purpose of his visit, and he could also feel that Feng Sizhe was helping him this time.

Feng Sizhe just led him to the next room, and then in the room, Lu Zhuo saw a young man who looked less than 30 years old. Looking at this person, Lu Zhuo asked with some doubt, "County Magistrate Feng, who is he?"

"He is Bai Caixia's driver. You can ask him for details. I'll go back to check the documents first." Feng Sizhe just said this lightly, and then nodded to the driver. This nod proved that if there was anything, he could talk about it next. You have to know that Bai Caixia's driver is the same as Bai Caixia. Without Feng Sizhe's nod, they are dumb.

When Lu Zhuo learned that the man in front of him was Bai Caixia's driver, he was excited. It seemed that things were as he expected. In fact, Feng Sizhe had already prepared it in his mind. In fact, County Magistrate Feng knew everything a long time ago and was working silently like himself. At this time, Feng Sizhe suddenly became taller in Lu Zhuo's mind. It seemed that this young county magistrate was not like what he thought. He could watch his colleagues being wronged. He still had a strong sense of justice.

Feng Sizhe ignored Lu Zhuo and created such conditions himself. If Lu Zhuo still could not overturn the decision of the Municipal Party Committee Investigation Team, then he really should not continue to work as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
