Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

In Jingnan City, in an independent villa not far from Qin Hao's home, the light in the study of Executive Vice Governor Zhou Zhizhong was still on.

The shrill ringing of the landline phone broke the silence of the study.

Zhou Zhizhong, whose hair was also gray, put down the documents in his hand, looked a little tired, rubbed his nose, cheered himself up, and picked up the phone.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Zhizhong."

"Dad, it's me."

Zhou Zhizhong couldn't help but be stunned. Why did his son think of calling him in the middle of the night?

"If you have something to say, just say it. What's the matter with calling so late?"

Zhou Zhizhong, who was recently informed by his superiors that he had failed in the competition for the governor of Shanghai, was extremely exhausted physically and mentally, and said in an impatient tone.

Zhou Zheng's voice was a little anxious. He said, "Dad, I was arrested by the police in Modu. Can you call them and ask them to release me?"

Zhou Zhizhong's face darkened and he asked, "What's going on? Explain it to me clearly."

"Dad, I was drinking with a few friends in the villa, and a group of police suddenly rushed in and arrested us directly..."

Zhou Zhizhong immediately asked, "Did they just arrest you without giving any reason?"

Zhou Zheng hesitated a bit, "Yes, they...they said they wanted to arrest MYPC."

Zhou Zhizhong's expression changed instantly, and he said angrily: "You bastard, don't you know your own identity? You actually went to PC?"

Zhou Zhizhong was very angry at his son's words. The son of a provincial deputy governor actually went to PC.

He felt a burning pain on his face.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly explained: "Dad, we don't have a PC, it's all voluntary..."

Zhou Zheng described in great detail how he was arrested.

"Dad, I suspect someone is deliberately making trouble for me."

Zhou Zhizhong regained some composure: "Someone is deliberately trying to trick you... Do you know who it is? Do you have any suspicions in your heart?"

Zhou Zheng did not hesitate and said quickly: "Dad, I suspect it was Qian Duoduo."

"Qian Duoduo... Qian Yong's son? Why would he want to bully you?"

Zhou Zhizhong frowned, not wanting his wife and children to be in trouble, even if he and Qian Yonggang were competing for the position of Governor of Magic City.

But firstly, Qian Yong is the winner, so he should show a broad mind and be tolerant. How could he attack himself?

"One of my companions overheard the leading police officer making a phone call and said, 'It's a small amount of money, but the job is done.'"

There aren’t many people with the last name Qian. In Shanghai, apart from Qian Duoduo, there is no one else who has the ability to mobilize the police.”

Zhou Zheng was also puzzled. After all, he and Qian Duoduo were friends, so he shouldn't have let the police arrest him.

"Okay, I get it. Just stay at the police station and I'll find a way."

Zhou Zhizhong put down the phone and leaned weakly on the big back chair.

"My son's phone number?"

His wife Xu Xiumei placed a cup of calming tea on her husband's desk and asked with some surprise.

Normally, she never asked about her husband's work, but just now, she heard her son's voice.

"Hey, when did you come in?"

Zhou Zhizhong looked up at his wife, sighed and said, "Yes, it's this bastard."

"A call from Xiaozheng? What happened to him? Did something happen?" Xu Xiumei frowned slightly and asked anxiously.

"He was arrested by the Magic City police."

Zhou Zhizhong looked very disappointed: "It's because of PC charges. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Impossible, this is slander."

Xu Xiumei immediately shouted, "Old Zhou, call Director Qin and ask him to come forward and put pressure on the Magic City police to release him."

Zhou Zhizhong shook his head: "You are confused. Qin Hao and I are on the same level, both members of the Standing Committee. You want me to beg him for such a small matter?"

Since ancient times, debts of gratitude are hard to repay.

People at Zhou Zheng's level would not easily ask others for help.

Although the two are colleagues, they are not in the same faction and have their own demands.

Favors are something that must be repaid.

If I ask Qin Hao for help because of such a small matter, what should I do if Qin Hao controls me at some critical moment in the future?

"What should I do?"

Xu Xiumei asked quickly.

"I'll call Yan Zhengxing, the head of the Jingnan City Public Security Bureau, and ask him to think of a solution."

Xu Xiumei agreed immediately: "Lao Yan has been following you for almost 20 years and has always been very dedicated to your work. So you should give him a call right away."

"Okay, I get it."

Zhou Zhizhong sat up straight, thought for a moment, and under the gaze of his wife, he picked up the office phone on the table and dialed.

"Hello, Lao Yan, I'm Zhou Zhizhong, I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Yan Zhengxing, who was preparing to rest at home, received a call from his old superior. He was slightly startled and laughed: "Old leader, not yet. It's so late, you called for something?"

"Old Yan, I need to trouble you with something. Xiao Zheng was arrested by the Magic City police for unknown reasons.

Zhou Zhizhong was a little embarrassed and did not tell the charges against his son.

"You are in the same system, so you must know this person. Please do me a favor and ask the Magic City police to make some concessions and release this person."

Yan Zhengxing often cooperates with the Shanghai police, and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll ask first. As long as it's not a big problem, he should be released soon."

"Okay, Lao Yan, thank you!"
