Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Thinking of this, Duan Yi smiled bitterly.

"Minister, it seems that all this is within your plan. You know I will never compromise."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotao pointed to a chair and motioned for him to sit down.

"Duan Yi, although I know that there will be a contest between you and Qin Gui, this is not my idea, so you don't have to think too much about it."

"It wasn't your idea?"

Duan Yi was surprised. In his opinion, Zheng Guotao was the driving force behind this matter.

As the head of the Ministry of Industry, it is entirely possible and logical for Zheng Guotao to do such a thing in order to suppress the growing power of Qin Gui.

But Zheng Guotao said that he just knew about this matter and did not interfere with the direction of events, which made him somewhat unbelievable.

Zheng Guotao chuckled and said, "I just learned about the existence of this black material yesterday. If Qin Gui falls, many people will be implicated, and many people will benefit from it. You and I are just one of them."

Zheng Guotao's words came from the bottom of his heart. It was Cao Xing who gave him the information and told him about the plan yesterday.

For Zheng Guotao, a fight between two of his men is actually a very good situation. As long as his position is not endangered, he will not personally take action.

Duan Yi knew his minister very well and understood that Zheng Guotao would not lie to him, so Duan Yi's expression was extremely rich.

He understood that there were other big guys involved.

This big boss, like Zheng Guotao, will not take action personally, and he is the perfect candidate.

Duan Yi really didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, thinking that he, a deputy ministerial-level figure, could actually be used as a pawn by others.

It makes me sad just thinking about it!

This information involves arms, and the matter is definitely not simple. Qin Gui may be just one of the links.

It is conceivable what situation Duan Yi will face once Qin Gui falls.

Thinking of this, Duan Yi quickly stood up and begged: "Minister, please save me!"

Zheng Guotao sighed and said, "If you could give me the information immediately, I might keep you safe for the sake of our friendship over the years, but you don't trust me, and you're eager for revenge, so you've already sent the information to various departments. There's nothing I can do about it."

Zheng Guotao was pragmatic. After learning about Cao Xing's plan, he came to the office early in the morning to wait for Duan Yi.

He was thinking that if Duan Yi still trusted him, he would help save Duan Yi. However, Duan Yi obviously wanted to bring down Qin Gui as quickly as possible and did not come to him immediately, which made him a little discouraged.

Duan Yi thought about it carefully and realized that he was really stupid. His hatred for Qin Gui blinded his eyes and led him to do such a reckless thing.

This made him very regretful, but things had come to this point and there was nothing he could do but take it one step at a time!

With this thought, his expression suddenly became quite depressed.

"Minister, I hope you can protect my family as much as possible for the sake of our past friendship."

Zheng Guotao looked at Duan Yi, who was mentally prepared, and felt a little sympathy.

If it were Qin Gui, he wouldn't have this feeling.

But he knew Duan Yi well enough. He didn't have much ambition and focused most of his attention on his work. He was a good comrade.

This made him feel a little compassion.

"You go out first, and I'll make a few calls."

Duan Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately realized that the minister was helping him. He gritted his teeth, solemnly saluted Zheng Guotao, and then left the office.

After seeing him leave, Zheng Guotao sighed and thought to himself that Cao Xing's plan was really vicious.

He let Duan Yi charge ahead while he and others just sat back and reaped the benefits. This was a perfect control of human nature.

He just picked up the phone and made a call, and the call was quickly connected.

"Hello, Jianjun, I'm Lao Zheng..."

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and golden rays of light were scattered in the sky, which was quite beautiful.

This was supposed to be a very ordinary morning, but for Qin Gui it was a complete nightmare!

Qin Gui was still practicing Tai Chi in the yard when dozens of people rushed into the yard and surrounded him.

"Hello, Comrade Qin Gui. I am Xiang Ji, Director of the Supervision Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Next to me are comrades from the Ministry of Public Security, the Political Department, and the Investigation Section of the Ministry of Industry. These are comrades from the Procuratorate. We are jointly enforcing the law with multiple departments. We would like to ask you some questions. I hope you can cooperate."

Qin Gui looked a little flustered. He looked at Xiang Ji who rushed in with a large group of people, most of whom were soldiers armed with live ammunition. It was obvious that they came prepared to prevent any accidents.

He knew in his heart that this day might come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Looking at Xiang Ji's eyes without any emotion, Qin Gui knew that his secret was definitely exposed!

"Hehe, can you let me go back and put on some clothes?"

Xiang Ji stopped him and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Qin Gui, you can't leave my sight now. If you need any clothes, please tell me and I'll ask someone to get them."

Qin Gui's face turned frosty and very cold when he heard this.

"Don't forget, you are just a small department-level cadre, you have no right to arrest me!"

Xiang Ji reached out and took out a document and said, "This is the inquiry order signed by the top leaders early this morning. Comrade Qin Gui, there was a methane explosion near the Ministry of Public Security last night. We just want to inquire about the situation."

These words made Qin Gui a little confused.

Biogas explosion?

What does this have to do with him!

"Are you crazy? What does the biogas explosion have to do with me?"

When he saw so many people coming in, he thought it was because Xiang Ji had evidence of his crime, otherwise why would he bring so many people in.

But now when he heard the word "methane explosion", he couldn't figure out what it had to do with him.

"I'm sorry, Vice Minister Qin, we have to talk about some things somewhere else. It's a little inconvenient here. What do you think?"

Xiang Ji's words sounded a bit threatening.

He brought so many people with him not just for show.

If Qin Gui disagrees, we cannot rule out the possibility of taking direct action.

Facing Xiang Ji's unfriendly look, Qin Gui finally gave in.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but I need to eat first."

Xiang Ji nodded and said, "Sure, we provide breakfast there, you can eat whatever you want, and we'll talk after you finish eating."

Qin Gui was furious, but he didn't show it.

He thought carefully about what leverage he had that could be used by others to attack him, but after a long time of thinking, he came up with nothing.

Apart from the threat posed by Jin Biao's account books, he was not afraid of anything else.

Now Jin Biao's account books were shattered into pieces by the wind along with Liu Zhi, and there was no way that there was anything he had to worry about.

What does the biogas explosion have to do with him!

Wait, biogas explosion, near the Ministry of Public Security.

He immediately understood the connection.

It is estimated that the methane explosion led to the discovery of the secret passage under the Ministry of Public Security, and the things inside may have also been discovered.

Qin Gui's face darkened when he thought of this. He knew that he was the highest person in charge when it was first built, and he had an unshirkable responsibility for this underground space!

What he didn't know was that the news of the biogas explosion was deliberately spread by Zheng Guotao after he had informed several departments.

The first purpose is to protect Duan Yi, and the second is to make Qin Gui relax his vigilance!
