Chapter 2231 Emergency Meeting at Midnight

Qin Feng followed Liu Xiaoping into the meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee. When Qin Feng entered, there were already many people sitting in the meeting room. All the standing committee members except Duan Hongyu and Xie Zhiguo had arrived.

"Secretary General, what happened?" As the Secretary General, Tang Yun was the most embarrassed. Every person who came in would ask him this question. No matter how he answered that he didn't know, no one believed him. In the end, he simply didn't say a word.

There were only two people who didn't ask, one was Liu Xiaoping and the other was Qin Feng.

After Liu Xiaoping and Qin Feng came in and sat down, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Duan Hongyu also walked in, sat down in his seat, and then immediately looked at Secretary-General Tang Yun.

"Secretary-General, what exactly happened?" Duan Hongyu asked again the question that everyone had asked.

Tang Yun spread his hands helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Secretary Hongyu, I am the same as you, I know nothing, Secretary Xie didn't say anything."

Duan Hongyu took a look and said nothing. The staff brought the cup of tea to him.

Xie Zhiguo was the last one to walk into the meeting room with a sullen face. This made Qin Feng curious about how and with what attitude Xie Zhiguo would proceed with this matter today.

After Xie Zhiguo sat down, he did not make any opening remarks. Instead, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It is now ten o'clock in the evening. Normally, I am ready to go to bed at this time. I believe everyone here is about the same."

"Why did I call everyone here for a meeting so late at night? I think some of you already understand, but most of you definitely don't know what happened in Xiquan today."

"Before the meeting, let me show you a video so you know what happened."

After Xie Zhiguo finished speaking, Gao Wei quickly stood up, took out his mobile phone and explained something to the staff, who then began to operate the multimedia equipment in the conference room.

Those who didn't know the inside story looked confused, while Liu Xiaoping's face became increasingly ugly. He had already guessed what Xie Zhiguo was going to release.

Qin Feng started smoking leisurely since Xie Zhiguo came in, as if what Xie Zhiguo said had nothing to do with him at all. Anyway, his seat was at the end.

When a "self-immolation" video shot from a passerby's perspective suddenly appeared on the screen, Qin Feng silently turned his body to the side, deliberately avoiding the big screen with his eyes. He really couldn't bear to watch this "cruel" video again. Every time he watched it, Qin Feng's soul would suffer "severe torture."

Qin Feng smoked heavily, using it to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart, allowing him to remain calm and thus be in line with his identity as sitting here.

Liu Xiaoping was as calm as Qin Feng.

Like Qin Feng, Liu Xiaoping did not look at the big screen. He stared quietly at the teacup in front of him. His face was terribly dark and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Except for Qin Feng and Liu Xiaoping, everyone else watched the video with shock.

The shock these people felt was genuine and not fake. After all, Liu Xiaoping had used the most severe means to suppress the matter since the incident.

It is impossible to suppress the matter completely, but it is also impossible for it to reach the ears of these leaders so quickly. Qin Feng believes that if he had not taken the initiative to call Xie Zhiguo to report the matter, Xie Zhiguo would not have known about it so quickly.

This was Liu Xiaoping's idea. He just didn't want the Municipal Party Committee to know about this too quickly. He wanted to create a time difference so that by the time the Municipal Party Committee knew about it, he would have already handled the matter. That way, even if Xie Zhiguo knew about it, he would not be able to make a fuss about it.

Of course, it was precisely because it was impossible for these people to know about this matter so quickly that Liu Xiaoping specifically stopped Qin Feng and said those words, because he knew that it must have been Qin Feng who "leaked" this matter to Xie Zhiguo, otherwise Xie Zhiguo would not have known about this matter so quickly.

"Secretary Xie, why don't we put it here first? This is too... cruel." Tang Yun really couldn't bear to watch it anymore and made a suggestion to Xie Zhiguo.

"We must release them all. I just want everyone to see what kind of pain and despair can force a person to end his life in this way, and what kind of government can allow an ordinary citizen to express his protest and dissatisfaction in this way." Xie Zhiguo said word by word.

After Xie Zhiguo said this, no one dared to suggest closing the room early, but everyone tacitly turned their eyes from the video to the table in front of them. No one had the "courage" to watch the entire video.

Although he knew that no one was watching it, Xie Zhiguo still did not stop it and let the video continue to play.

A few minutes later, the short video was finally over and Qin Feng had just finished smoking the cigarette in his hand.

The staff was organizing the equipment, and Xie Zhiguo did not speak. He waited until the staff left the conference room before he slowly asked, "Have you finished watching it? Everyone, what do you think?"

When Xie Zhiguo asked this, no one spoke.

"Secretary Xie, what's going on?" Duan Hongyu asked Xie Zhiguo.

"The words 'Xiquan Municipal People's Government' were clearly photographed above. I think it would be more appropriate for our Mayor Liu to answer the question as to what exactly happened. Mayor Liu, please tell us what exactly happened." Xie Zhiguo said coldly.

However, no matter how hostile Xie Zhiguo and Liu Xiaoping were in private, as the top two leaders, they still had to maintain some appearance of decency. So Xie Zhiguo was usually polite to Liu Xiaoping, usually calling him comrade, rarely calling him Mayor Liu, and even less likely to speak to Liu Xiaoping in this tone. But today, Xie Zhiguo's attitude towards Liu Xiaoping was very harsh, and he didn't give him any face at all.

Xie Zhiguo's face looked as if someone owed him eight hundred yuan since he entered the meeting room, and now being questioned so harshly by Xie Zhiguo his face became even more livid. However, he had to accept Xie Zhiguo's interrogation. After all, Xie Zhiguo was the secretary of the municipal party committee, and this was the municipal party committee standing committee. Moreover, this incident happened in front of the municipal government. As the mayor, he had to explain to the standing committee.

"This is indeed what happened in front of our city government today. This person is a professional petitioner. Based on the information available, he may have chosen to end his life in this way because he bought an unfinished building, but the specific reason is still under investigation."

"After the incident happened, our municipal government handled the aftermath immediately, and the matter has been basically resolved now." Liu Xiaoping replied with a grim face.
