Chapter 83: The Wind Rises and Clouds Gather (1)

  All he can do now is try his best to ensure Liu Fei's personal safety.

  Then, under this circumstance, a working conference on civilized law enforcement education was held in the afternoon of that day. All provincial standing committee members attended the meeting, and Zhao Yong, the director of the Public Security Department, was present at the meeting. At the meeting, Xu Guangchun emphasized the issue of civilized law enforcement and severely criticized Zhao Yong for the violent incidents that had recently occurred in public security organs, detention centers, and prisons. He also stated that if similar incidents occur again in the future, those responsible and the main leaders will be severely punished. After the meeting, Director Zhao Yong's face turned white. Although he was promoted with the help of Governor Cui Yusheng, he knew very well that if Secretary Xu Guangchun really looked down on him, it would be easy to take him down. After all, the government is in charge of economy and administration, while the provincial party committee is in charge of official positions.

  He also saw clearly that this meeting was closely related to Liu Fei being taken away. He had already received reports that Provincial Party Secretary Xu Guangchun and Jiang Zhengyuan had personally called Zhao Feiyue about Liu Fei, but Zhao Feiyue had resisted the pressure. Now it seemed that these two leaders were starting to fight back. However, he did not expect the counterattack to come so quickly and with such great force. He was very clear that if anything unexpected happened to Liu Fei in the detention center, he, as the Director of Public Security, would be caught off guard. Although this handle was still far away from him, this distance could be bridged by just one sentence of "leadership not in place" or "dereliction of leadership responsibility", which was enough to shake the chair under his buttocks.

  After the meeting, Zhao Yong rushed out of the conference room in a flurry, took out his phone and started deploying work, especially ordering relevant personnel to quickly notify the warden of the detention center where Liu Fei was being held, to strictly investigate internal work and not allow any uncivilized law enforcement incidents to occur, especially with regard to Liu Fei, who must be kept under close watch to prevent any accidents from happening during his detention. After finishing the call, Zhao Yong still wasn't at ease, so he directly called Ai Zhengren, the warden of the Third Detention Center: "Little Ai, isn't Liu Fei being held in your detention center? You'd better take good care of him for me; if a single hair on his head is out of place, I'll have you fired!" By this point, Zhao Yong's tone had become severe.

  He put down the phone, and Ai Zhengren was stunned. The next moment, he quickly dialed Ma Wu's phone number, still praying in his heart that Ma Wu would not exchange rooms with Liu Fei. As soon as the call connected, Ai Zhengren anxiously asked: "Ma Wu, did you change Liu Fei's room?"

  Ma Wu Yi thought it was Ai Zhenren complaining that he was slow, so his forehead started sweating immediately. He loudly said: "Director Ai, upon receiving your notice, I immediately transferred Liu Fei to room 344."

  Ai Zheng, who had a glimmer of luck, suddenly slumped in his chair, and then jumped up in a hurry, shouting loudly into the phone: "Ma Wu, you big fool, quickly get Liu Fei back for me, fast, immediately, right now! If I arrive and Liu Fei is not back in his original room, I'll fire you!"

  Hanging up the phone, Ai Zhengren puffed out his chest and, with a big belly, trotted off on his four short legs towards the guard area.

  At this moment, Ma Wu also became anxious. After hanging up the phone, he cursed: "Damn it! You asked me to hurry up and change 344 for Liu Fei, now you're asking me to change it back, what the hell do you want to do? Are you playing tricks on me?! But despite his complaints, for this lucrative position, he had to rush to handle it.

  Changing rooms also requires a series of procedures, but due to the suddenness of the matter, the person in charge of handling the procedures happened to be absent today. At this time, through the window, Ma Wu had already seen Ai Zhengren's plump figure. This made Ma Wu anxious, and he began frantically dialing phone numbers.

  It's all messed up! Everything is messed up!

  The whole detention center was in chaos at this time.

  However, the chaos is not just limited to the detention center.

  The Provincial Public Security Department received a notice that this afternoon, Vice Minister of Public Security Liu Jianqing and his entourage will come to Hebei Province for investigation. Upon receiving this sudden notice, Zhao Yong became even more anxious. This had just ended the provincial party committee meeting, and then the Ministry of Public Security sent a vice minister to investigate, thinking about it with one's butt, there must be something unusual in this.

  However, things are far from over. The vice governor has also been notified that tomorrow afternoon, Vice Minister of Finance Xu Wei and relevant personnel will come to Hebei Province for investigation work, with him in charge of accompanying them.

  In an instant, the entire Hexi political arena was turbulent and stormy, with a momentum that seemed to foretell a great change.

  Inside the detention center.

  When Ai Zheng rushed to the duty room like a fire burning his eyebrows, he found that Ma Wu was still there making a phone call. Suddenly, flames of anger rose more than three feet high, and he scolded with a stern face: "Ma Wu, how can your work efficiency be so low? How come you haven't finished such a simple task until now?"

  Ma Wu put down the phone and said with a bitter face: "Director Ai, it's not that I didn't get things done, look, isn't Guan Yue, who is in charge of handling room exchange procedures, not here?"

  As soon as he heard this, Ai's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "It's working hours now, where did Guan Yue run off to? Tell him to come back immediately."

  "He won't be back today, he and his girlfriend Xiao Fanqie went to Wuyue Village for a trip and booked a sweet suite." Ma Wu said with a gloomy tone.

  "What? Not coming back? How can this be? Give me the phone, I'll talk to him!" Ai Zhengren snatched the phone and shouted loudly: "Guan Yue, listen to me! I order you to return to the detention center immediately, otherwise I will directly remove your position. Even if it's your uncle, he won't be able to save you." After finishing speaking, Ai Zhengren hung up the phone with a huff.

  Hanging up the phone, Ai Zheng sat on the sofa, panting and grumbling: "You still have the nerve to mention your uncle to pressure me? Are you kidding me? This is a direct order from the Director of the Public Security Bureau! If anyone delays, who's going to take responsibility? And you're counting on that Deputy Director uncle of yours to save you? By then it'll be too late! No way, can't wait for him. Guan Yue, ask him where he put the key and seal, let's get them out and handle the procedures first!"

  Ma Wu and Guan Yue communicated and then said with a bitter smile: "Ai Suo, he put the key in the safe. He won't be able to open it if he doesn't come back!"

  Ai Zhengren stamped his foot fiercely, "Guan Yue, your mother's big watermelon! You didn't usually lock up the official seal, why did you go crazy today?! This is terrible, if things don't go well, my official hat will be lost! What can I do?!" In anxiety, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

  Time was ticking away, and Mai Wu watched as Ai Zheng paced back and forth in the room, his eyes almost spinning with excitement. Suddenly, he jumped up and shouted: "I've got it! Mai Wu, hurry, go make an announcement that today's exercise time is being brought forward. Then send someone to bring Liu Fei out first and move him to a different location, away from those three people in the solitary confinement cell. Remember, be quick!"

  Ma Wu left quickly, and Ai Zhengren began to pray: "I hope Liu Fei doesn't get into any trouble!"

  Ma Wu quickly settled the matter and immediately led people to rush to the 344th hell room. When he arrived at the door, he found that although the iron bars of the room were open, no one inside came out, and they all lay on their beds with their eyes closed. He hurriedly looked towards Liu Fei's bed and found that Liu Fei was safe and sound, without a single wound on his body, snoring loudly. It wasn't until then that his heart finally felt at ease. However, soon his heart became tense again because he discovered that the man who looked like a black gorilla, who was closest to the door, had sat up and was staring at him with an unfriendly expression, scaring him so much that he retreated several steps before stabilizing himself. With a somewhat guilty conscience, he forced out a smile and said: "Ah, hello, I think I'll take him away?"

  The gorilla just gave Ma Wai a cold look without saying anything.
