Chapter 2230: Tiger Pounces on its Prey

Hearing this, Qin Feng and Xie Zhiguo suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Simin.

"What did you get?" Qin Feng asked quickly.

"Is this video real or fake? Someone actually set himself on fire in front of your city government. It's so horrible! It must be fake, right?" Xie Simin handed the phone to Qin Feng to watch.

Qin Feng and Xie Zhiguo looked at each other.

"Your judgment is correct. This matter cannot be suppressed." Xie Zhiguo said.

"But Liu Xiaoping doesn't think so, and he can't think so."

"This is also a good thing. I was worried that I couldn't convince the comrades of the Standing Committee. Now I have a reason. Xiao Min, push this video to Gao Wei. Qin Feng, you go back first. There will be an emergency meeting in the second half of the night. You should make preparations in advance."

"Either don't move, or if you move you must pounce on your prey like a tiger and not give your opponent any chance to breathe." Xie Zhiguo said to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng stood up, nodded, and left Xie Zhiguo's home.

After leaving Xie Zhi's house, Qin Feng made a direct call to Zhang Jun.

"Listen to me carefully now. Time is running out, so I'll be brief. I just came out of Secretary Xie's house. Secretary Xie will hold an emergency meeting tonight to discuss the establishment of a municipal party committee investigation team to thoroughly investigate the self-immolation incident. I will be in charge of this matter after preliminary research."

"We still have a few hours to go. You should make preparations in advance. I have a few requests for you. First, this investigation is a real battle to win the final victory. There is no room for compromise or easing, so you must be determined to fight to the death."

"Second, all actions must be carried out under orders. No selfish thoughts are allowed, and no actions that disobey orders are allowed, no matter how small the matter."

"Third, all those who participate in the operation must be strictly screened and completely trustworthy. I will not allow any accidents to occur."

"Zhang Jun, these are the general principles. You know the specifics better than me, so I won't go into details. Let me emphasize one more point. If you do a good job this time, I can guarantee your candidacy for the position of deputy mayor. If you mess up this time, you... will no longer be worthy of sitting in this position. You know this yourself."

"There may be a few hours before the meeting ends. Secretary Xie is planning to catch his opponent by surprise, so you should make good arrangements in advance during these few hours. Once the investigation team is established, you must act like a tiger pouncing on its prey."

Qin Feng didn't give Zhang Jun a chance to speak. He came here to give orders to Zhang Jun, not to discuss things with him.

This is like when troops are at war. They may discuss with each other during normal training, but once they are on the battlefield, they will never discuss again. Instead, they will give orders directly because this is not the time to discuss.

Qin Feng returned home, took a shower, changed his clothes, then packed his own toiletries and went downstairs.

Li Jianjun and Wang Jun were waiting for Qin Feng downstairs.

"Go down and get a set of bedding to the office. Starting tonight, I will live in the office." Qin Feng instructed Li Jianjun after getting in the car.

Qin Feng came to his office. In the entire city government, only Qin Feng's office had the lights on.

Qin Feng had just arrived at the office when he received a call from Secretary-General Tang Yun himself: "Qin Feng, hurry up and get up. Secretary Xie has called an emergency expanded meeting of the Standing Committee and requires all leaders at home to attend the meeting on time in one hour."

Tang Yun's tone was solemn and anxious, but Qin Feng was not surprised at all.

Qin Feng sat alone in the office and carefully reviewed the whole thing again. When the time was almost up, Qin Feng went out and asked Wang Jun to drive the car to the Municipal Party Committee.

Normally, the Municipal Party Committee would be empty at this time except for the routine duty room, but tonight the Municipal Party Committee was exceptionally lively, especially the small building of the Municipal Party Committee, which was almost brightly lit, with a row of cars parked at the door downstairs.

Anyone who can park their car in front of this small building is not an ordinary person. People who know the license plates will definitely find that this row of cars are the cars of the top figures in Xiquan City.

Just as Wang Jun parked his car, another car stopped next to Qin Feng's car. After Qin Feng got out of the car, he saw Liu Xiao also getting out of the car.

"Qin Feng." Liu Xiaoping called Qin Feng.

Qin Feng stayed where he was for a while, and waited until Liu Xiaoping came to his side before going upstairs with Liu Xiaoping.

"What's going on? Do you know what happened? Why are we suddenly calling an emergency meeting at this time?" Liu Xiaoping asked.

"I don't know either. I asked the Secretary-General when I answered the phone, but he didn't tell me." Qin Feng is not stupid.

In fact, Liu Xiaoping could more or less guess why an emergency meeting was suddenly called. It would be impossible to hold an emergency meeting if it was not an extremely urgent matter, especially in the middle of the night.

What major emergency happened in Xiquan today? You can guess it at once.

Liu Xiaoping asked Qin Feng at this time obviously because he wanted to know whether Qin Feng had told Xie Zhiguo about this.

"Qin Feng, there is something I want to tell you in advance." Liu Xiaoping stopped.

Qin Feng nodded and stood there too.

"What do you think Secretary Xie wants to do by suddenly requesting this emergency meeting at this time?" Liu Xiaoping asked.

"I'm not sure about this, but everything will be clear after the meeting." Qin Feng continued to play dumb.

"Qin Feng, you are a member of the Municipal Party Committee, but don't forget that you are also the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor of the Municipal Government. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, you are standing on the ship of the Municipal Government. If the ship of the Municipal Government sinks, you and I will drown."

"So, Qin Feng, no matter what issues this meeting will discuss and what adjustments the municipal party committee will make, I hope you can consider the issues from the perspective of the municipal government. Only when you and I, two people from the municipal government, are on the same page, can the municipal government be saved."

"If you and I start fighting among ourselves, the final result will be that others will stand on the shore and watch our boats sink in the river, and we will die without a burial place."

After Liu Xiaoping finished speaking, he patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, and then took the lead to go upstairs.

Qin Feng stood there in a daze for a moment, then smiled and followed him upstairs.

Liu Xiaoping was indeed an extraordinary person. From the fact that Xie Zhiguo convened an emergency meeting in the middle of the night, he suddenly understood a lot of things, including Qin Feng's position.

Liu Xiaoping said this to Qin Feng to tell Qin Feng that he, Qin Feng, would always be the executive vice mayor of the municipal government. If Xie Zhiguo wanted to reveal this matter, all the responsibility would be on the municipal government. At that time, he, Liu Xiaoping, would definitely have a hard time, but Qin Feng would not be much better off either.

Liu Xiaoping specifically warned Qin Feng before the meeting in the hope that Qin Feng would stand on his side during the meeting. Obviously, Liu Xiaoping had already guessed what Xie Zhiguo was going to do.
