Chapter 21: Must Kill One to Warn a Hundred

  The second update is here! Please collect and recommend! Your support is the greatest encouragement for Sui Sui, thank you!

  "What Yang Jie said just now, must not be spread outside, the county head is waiting to see our excitement, and we can't let him get what he wants! Old Lei, your driver, handle it low-key for the time being, and talk about it after the storm passes." Zhou Dalong only then looked at Lei Shuping and Chen Yuan, his two trusted generals, and seriously instructed them.

  Lei Shuping and Chen Yuan both knew what Secretary Zhou was talking about, Zhang Daxian and the others knew that Jamesson sneaked out of the hotel at midnight to find a girl because he had drunk Yang Jie's aphrodisiac wine. The reason they didn't target Yang Jie was just because Yang Jie was too small a target and wasn't even in their sights.

  The other side knows but doesn't say, it's because they want to use this to play with Zhou Dalong. If the news is leaked by their own side, wouldn't all the previous face be lost? Later, they would have to deliver ammunition themselves and let the other side take advantage of the situation again, making Zhou Dalong lose face once more.

  No matter whether it's to protect Yang Jie, or for the sake of Zhou Dali's face, or to ensure that Jimmy and his party's investment in Huahe County goes smoothly, Zhou Dali will not allow anyone to make a fuss about this incident.

  "Don't worry, Secretary. We won't leak a single word out!" Lei Shuping and Chen Yuan exchanged a glance, guaranteeing in perfect unison with great tacit understanding.

  "This little rascal, he actually came up with two kinds of medicinal liquor to attract Jimmy's investment. It's really surprising that he could think of it, and not afraid of causing trouble by letting Jimmy give some to Loren and Jamison." Zhou Dalong suddenly smiled, the gloom on his face finally dissipating.

  "Secretary, who knows, this time we might even turn a disaster into an opportunity. With Jimmy's good wine personality, plus he agreed to invest in the Yang River Wine Factory, if we can bring down the stone material project, we'll get another large-scale wine factory investment project, two birds with one stone!" Lei Shuping looked at Zhou Dalong, whose mood had improved, and also became more interested in the two functional wines that Yang Jie had come up with.

  "Jamieson's incident, Jimmy also has a certain responsibility. As for the project, I'm not worried about it now. However, County Magistrate Zhang is too reckless, ignoring the interests of the entire county, an investment of 300 million and thousands of jobs, all can be disregarded. It's really disappointing. Previously, I gave him face because of his brother-in-law, but since he's not being benevolent, don't blame me for not being righteous." Zhou Dalong's eyes flashed with a stern glint as he looked at Lei Shuping and Chen Yuanshen.

  "County Public Security Bureau Director Luo Song and Chen Jian, manager of the Xunhe Hotel, must be taken down, kill one to warn a hundred."

  Lei Shuping's eyes flashed, he was Zhou Dalong's trusted confidant and also in charge of the county's economic and industrial work. The success or failure of this investment attraction was closely related to him, and for Luo Song and Chen Jian, these two Zhang Daxian's vanguard, he now hated to take them down immediately.

  "Secretary Lei is right, the Discipline Inspection Commission has received many letters of accusation against Luo Song and Chen Jian. These two people are not suitable to stay in leadership positions long ago. Taking advantage of this incident with Jamison, they were taken down. Chen Yuan was also annoyed by Zhang Daxian's system that night, and the county party committee office was questioned, which is equivalent to slapping her in the face."

  For the manager of the Binjiang Hotel and the director of the Public Security Bureau, her hatred at this time was not under Lei Shuping. She knew that at the Standing Committee meeting, Zhou Dalong had more than half of the votes in his hands. As long as Zhou Dalong made up his mind, he could implement his will, so she actively supported him.

  "After Yang Jie handled the Jamison matter and this business trip was successfully completed, they would take them down, especially the Public Security Bureau, which must be thoroughly rectified, it's too outrageous! After this incident, Zhou Dalong finally made up his mind to take down the Public Security Bureau, even if it meant turning against Zhang Dasan."

  Zhou Dalong has been in Yunhe County for over three years. After the former county magistrate was transferred to another county as secretary last year, some of the original standing committee members who relied on the county magistrate also gradually leaned towards him. Before Zhang Dasen took office, he had already controlled the Secretary's Office Meeting and the County Committee Standing Committee.

  Zhang Daxian was an air-dropped cadre, because he had the backing of Li Wujin, a standing committee member and full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, who was also his brother-in-law. As a result, some neutral members of the county's standing committee, as well as some of the former county magistrate's loyal followers, gradually leaned towards Zhang Daxian, forming a faction led by him in the standing committee.

  County Public Security Bureau Director Luo Song and Chen Jian, the manager of the Xunhe Hotel, are both Zhang Daxian's people. Zhou Dalong had previously considered Zhang Daxian's sister-in-law's face, so he didn't take down the Public Security Bureau as soon as Zhang Daxian took office. Unexpectedly, Zhang Daxian and Luo Song would give him such a move, how could Zhou Dalong not be angry?

  Zhou Dalong can become the county party secretary of Huaihe County, and in the city, he will not be isolated and helpless. The municipal party secretary Li Jun, like Zhou Dalong, is also a military background, Zhou Dalong is Li Secretary's confidant and protégé, is Li Jun's heavily cultivated favorite general, it is precisely because of Li Jun's support that he dares to offend Zhang Daxian.

  Yang Jie arrived at the Public Security Bureau's Traffic Police Brigade in Chen Yuan's car. The Traffic Police Brigade had its own separate office space in the county and was not located within the county public security bureau compound. By the time he arrived at the Traffic Police Brigade, it was already 1:30 on the second day.

  County Public Security Bureau Director Luo Song, who had been waiting at the gate of the Public Security Brigade, Deputy Director Yang Hua in charge of traffic police and public security, Captain Chen Yinglong of the Public Security Brigade, Deputy Captains Zhang Wei and Wang Biao, and more than a dozen other county bureau officials wearing police uniforms, rushed to greet them as soon as they saw Chen Yuan's No. 16 car enter the courtyard.

  County Public Security Bureau Director Luo Song, over 50 years old, with a face full of flesh, looks like a butcher in the market, with sharp eyes and a majestic gait. Deputy Director Yang Hua, around 40 years old, walks with a military bearing, and at a glance, it's clear that he has a military background.

  Yang Jie got off the car and saw Luo Song and Yang Hua coming up to greet him, as well as a dozen or so police officers following behind them. He knew that these people must be the leaders of the Public Security Bureau and the Security Brigade.

  Looking at Yang Jie getting off the car, a hypocritical smile appeared on Luo Song's slightly ferocious face. He took a few steps forward and said warmly to Yang Jie: "You are Comrade Yang Jie, right? I am Luo Song from the County Bureau. This is Deputy Director Yang Hua, who is in charge of public security and traffic police work at the County Bureau. You've had a hard time today."

  "It turned out to be Director Luo and Director Yang. I am Yang Jie from the county party committee office, and I have been ordered to come to the Public Security Brigade to handle the matter of foreign businessman Jameson. Do you know where Jameson is now? Can I see him first?"

  "Director Chen has already called, our county bureau will definitely fully cooperate with Comrade Xiao Yang's work and try to minimize the impact of this matter, so as not to affect the investment promotion work in our county." Luo Song said, turning around to ask Chen Yinglong behind him: "Captain Chen, take Comrade Xiao Yang to meet Mr. Jamison first, your Public Security Brigade is really brainless! You dare to arrest distinguished guests from our county, how did you become a captain?"

  Chen Yinglong did not retort to Luo Song's severe accusation, in fact he was also very indignant about this matter. As the captain of the squadron, he had no knowledge of the whole thing, it was all done by Wang Biao, the deputy captain and leader of the second team, without consulting him. The whole squadron knew that Wang Biao was Luo's man, now Luo Song was shifting the blame to Chen Yinglong, how could he not feel indignant?

  "Wang Biao, you acted without permission and caused great obstacles to the county's business attraction work. From this moment on, your position as deputy director of the Public Security Brigade and commander of the Second Squadron is no longer needed. Go home and reflect, and wait for the bureau leaders to discuss your case before making a decision." Yang Hua's eyes flashed with a stern glint as he announced the county bureau's handling of Wang Biao in front of Yang Jie.

  "Deputy Director Yang, Wang Biao was performing his duties by going to Changmen Street to crack down on prostitution. He inadvertently caught a foreigner in the process. In itself, this matter is not his fault. If we punish our public security officers for catching foreigners who violate public order regulations, then are our public security officers protectors of the people or protectors of foreign devils?"

  "Is it that doing one's duty will also be punished? If so, who will dare to enforce the law conscientiously in the future? Is it that when we see foreigners, we should take a detour, do you think this is still the Qing dynasty?" Luo Song immediately opposed Yang Hua's intention to deal with Wang Biao.

  "Comrade Yang, Mr. Jamieson is on the second floor, please follow me!" Chen Yinglong understood that family conflicts should not be made public, and naturally it was not good to let Yang Jie know about the county bureau's affairs. Seeing Luo Song and Yang Hua quarreling again, he immediately led Yang Jie upstairs.
