Chapter 2045 Turn Yourself In

Gao Lin took it and took a look at it. He suddenly jumped up from his chair and looked at Wang Jiahao in horror: "Mayor Wang...you...you...have to save me..."

"If I don't care about you, would you still be sitting here?" Wang Jiahao glanced at Gao Lin indifferently.

Hearing this, Gao Lin smiled and sat down again.

"Pack up yourself and go back to say hello to your wife and children."

"What is this?" Gao Lin was confused.

"Go and turn yourself in this afternoon," Wang Jiahao continued.

Gao Lin’s eyes widened and he looked at Wang Jiahao in disbelief.

"Mayor Wang, you...you can't just ignore me. I can't turn myself in. I don't want to go to jail..."

"It's not that I don't care about you, but that I can't control you. This evidence was handed to me by Zhang Jun himself. You know what it means without me telling you. Now the evidence is conclusive, can I protect you? If I handle it, you will have the opportunity to surrender yourself and you can also say hello to the relevant parties. But if I let Zhang Jun handle these evidences according to normal procedures, you know the consequences." Wang Jiahao looked at Gao Lin.

Gao Lin's face turned pale.

"Go and turn yourself in. I will handle the matter. Don't worry, there won't be any big problems. It will only take one or two years at most. When you get out, you will not have this skin anymore, but you will not lose a penny of the money you are supposed to earn."

"You should understand the rules. Don't say what you shouldn't say, and take the initiative to assume the responsibilities you should assume. I will take good care of your wife and children." Wang Jiahao's last sentence was not concern, but a threat.

The look in Gao Lin's eyes as he looked at Wang Jiahao slowly changed from fear to anger and resentment.

Gao Lin seemed to have lost his soul. He turned around and slowly walked out of Wang Jiahao's office without even saying hello to Wang Jiahao.

At noon that day, after get off work, Qin Feng took Li Jianjun to a teahouse not far from the city government.

As soon as Wang Jun parked the car at the door, Wang Jiahao's secretary came over and opened the car door for Qin Feng.

"Mayor Qin, Mayor Wang is already waiting for you upstairs."

Qin Feng nodded and followed Wang Jiahao's secretary upstairs.

When they arrived at the door of the room, Wang Jiahao's secretary opened the door for Qin Feng and invited Qin Feng in, while Wang Jiahao's secretary and Li Jianjun stood outside the door tacitly and did not follow in.

When Qin Feng walked in, Wang Jiahao was sitting aside drinking tea, and the waiter was already serving the dishes on the table.

Seeing Qin Feng coming in, Wang Jiahao quickly stood up, walked over with a smile on his face and held Qin Feng's hand: "Mayor Qin, thank you for your honor!"

"Mayor Wang, you are so polite." Qin Feng also shook Wang Jiahao's hand cordially.

The two mortal enemies now acted as close as brothers who had been separated for many years.

"Come, come, Mayor Qin, please take a seat!" Wang Jiahao personally moved the chair away for Qin Feng and asked him to sit down. Then he sat next to Qin Feng and poured wine for him personally.

"Mayor Wang, forget about the wine. I have to go back to Yian for a meeting this afternoon. There was a fire at a primary school in Yian yesterday. Although the situation was not serious, the nature of it was very bad. It is not appropriate to be drunk in this occasion." Qin Feng declined.

"Just drink a little." Wang Jiahao insisted on filling Qin Feng's glass with wine.

Qin Feng didn't refuse either.

The two of them ate and drank while chatting about some recent major events in the city government. The scene was very harmonious.

Both of them knew what the other wanted to do, but neither of them mentioned it on their own initiative. Whoever brought it up first would be in a passive position.

In the end, Wang Jiahao was defeated and took the initiative to say to Qin Feng: "Mayor Qin, the Yi'an County Public Security Bureau arrested Li Yang, the owner of Zhongyang Chemical Factory, yesterday. Are you aware of this?"

"Oh? Have they arrested anyone? The civil dispute of the last pollution case involving the Zhongyang Chemical Plant has indeed been resolved, but this is not just a civil dispute. Because someone died, it is a criminal case. We must give an explanation to the victim's family, so it was indeed the decision made by our county party committee to let the public security bureau file a case to investigate this case."

"But the problem is that they are investigating more than just the pollution case." Wang Jiahao naturally understood that Qin Feng was playing dumb, and his purpose was naturally to take the initiative in the conversation.

"Oh? What else are they investigating?"

"The scope of their investigation was quite large. Not only did they uncover a series of illegal and criminal activities at the Zhongyang Chemical Factory, they also found out the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of our Municipal Public Security Bureau."

"There is such a thing? Mayor Wang, you know that although I am the county party secretary, I cannot interfere with your police's handling of cases, so I don't know the specific situation." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Mayor Qin, you also know that Zhongyang Chemical Factory is a pillar enterprise in Tai'an County, and it is also a key enterprise and a major taxpayer in our Xiquan City. Your investigation of Zhongyang Chemical Factory and the arrest of its owner Li Yang will have a great impact on the economic development of Tai'an County and even the entire Xiquan City, and will also seriously damage the business environment of our Xiquan City."

"Strictly speaking, these things should not be my concern. As the deputy mayor for poverty alleviation, these are things you should consider, don't you think? As a poor area, it is very difficult for us to attract businesses and investment in Xiquan. We have such a big enterprise, and we must protect it. After all, economic development is the top priority. Don't you think so?"

Wang Jiahao looked as if he was trying to appeal to the audience’s emotions and reason with them.

"Mayor Wang, did we get it wrong? Shouldn't I be the one saying this to you?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Although Qin Feng is not the deputy mayor in charge of the economy, he is the deputy mayor in charge of poverty alleviation. Economic development is the most important for poverty alleviation work, while Wang Jiahao is the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Seeing that Qin Feng didn't take the initiative to answer, Wang Jiahao felt helpless and could only speak frankly: "Mayor Qin, the mayor asked me to come to you today. I hope that Mayor Qin can put the overall situation first and handle Li Yang's matter in a low-key manner so as not to affect the city's economic development."

"Mayor Wang, you are the director of the Public Security Bureau. This matter is the business of your Public Security Bureau." Qin Feng would not be stupid enough to speak up before Xie Jiankai showed his trump card himself.

"It's true that this is the work of the Public Security Bureau, but the opinions of your Yian County Party Committee are more important to the Yian County Public Security Bureau." Wang Jiahao made it clear.

"Mayor Wang...or our mayor, how is he going to deal with this matter?" Qin Feng asked Wang Jiahao after taking a sip of wine.

"Everything ends here!" said Wang Jiahao.

Qin Feng naturally understood what it meant to stop here, and asked with a smile: "What about the things that have already happened?"

"I will handle what has happened." Wang Jiahao revealed his trump card.
