Chapter 2327 This is too difficult!

"Minister Hong!"

"Qin Feng is here, please sit down!" Deputy Minister Hong put down the pen in his hand and asked Qin Feng to sit down.

"Qin Feng, you finally decided to take up the post in Shazhou despite the danger and difficulties. I am very relieved and happy. I thank you on behalf of the organization."

"No, no, no, Minister Hong, please don't say that. You and the organization have appreciated and promoted me by letting me work in Shazhou. I am very grateful, and I promise that I will never let you down and live up to the trust you have placed in me and the tasks assigned to me by the organization."

"I knew nothing about Shazhou before. I learned a little about it online these days, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. No matter how many difficulties and dangers Shazhou has, as a party member, I should not retreat. Compared with the setbacks and difficulties experienced by our revolutionary predecessors, this is nothing."

"Last time, I had some concerns due to family reasons. I would like to apologize to Minister Hong here. My political awareness is not high, and I will seriously reflect on it in the future." Qin Feng said "seriously".

"There's no need to make a big deal out of it. This has nothing to do with political awareness. The fact that you still decided to go to Shazhou in the end is enough to show how high your political awareness is." Deputy Minister Hong waved his hand.

"Since you have decided to take up the post in Shazhou and have completed the organizational procedures, strictly speaking, you are now the deputy secretary of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee and the secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Municipal Government."

"So we won't talk too much about whether to go or not. What we are going to talk about today is what you should do after you go to the sandbar." Deputy Minister Hong's tone became more serious when he said this.

Qin Feng knew that Vice Minister Hong was going to get to the point, so he cooperated and stood up straighter again.

"You have a rich resume. You are a comrade who has truly climbed up from the grassroots. You also have extensive experience in governing a region and being the top leader. So you know more about how to be a good mayor than I do. I won't say much about this."

"Minister Hong, please don't say that..." Qin Feng said politely. Deputy Minister Hong waved his hand and Qin Feng quickly shut up.

"What I want to tell you today is the reason why our Organization Department of the Central Committee specially transferred you from Jiangnan Province to Ganliangshazhou to take up the post. It is also the task we hope you can complete." Deputy Minister Hong looked at Qin Feng seriously again.

Qin Feng also nodded seriously.

"First, we need to investigate the real cause of Comrade Qi Yaqiu's death," said Deputy Minister Hong.

"Qi Yaqiu?" Qin Feng was stunned.

"That was your predecessor, the former mayor of Shazhou City. He died in a car accident in Shazhou a few months ago."

Qin Feng understood what was going on. Gan Liang had already given a clear investigation conclusion on this matter, but Deputy Minister Hong still asked Qin Feng to investigate the matter again today and emphasized that it was the real cause of death. This means that Deputy Minister Hong still does not believe that Qi Yaqiu died in an accidental car accident.

According to common sense, Qin Feng should have immediately stated that he would definitely complete the task, but Qin Feng did not do so and chose to remain silent.

"What? Is it difficult? Or do you have concerns?" asked Deputy Minister Hong.

"Minister Hong, the entire Ganliang Province has already reached a final conclusion on this case, and last time you sent someone to personally supervise the investigation of this case, but you didn't find anything unusual about this case under such circumstances. Now you want me, a mayor transferred from another place, to investigate the real cause of death... I'm afraid..."

"Minister Hong, I have no concerns and I am not afraid of difficulties, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to accomplish this task. But I would like to make it clear to you that I will do my best to investigate." Qin Feng made a turn.

Qin Feng's previous words were actually paving the way for the subsequent turning point. He knew very well that it was almost impossible to investigate the real cause of Qi Yaqiu's death.

"I know this is difficult. If it wasn't difficult, why would I transfer you from Jiangnan Province to Shazhou? Qin Feng, this is a political task that must be completed. The organization must find out the real cause of death of Comrade Qi Yaqiu, and must also give an explanation to Comrade Qi Yaqiu's family." Deputy Minister Hong said to Qin Feng while knocking on the table.

"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed." Qin Feng immediately expressed his opinion after seeing Vice Minister Hong's attitude.

"The second task is to find out the illegal and criminal activities of the Lixin Group and the protective umbrella behind the Lixin Group." Deputy Minister Hong said word by word.

"Lixin Group?" Qin Feng was stunned again. It was the first time he heard the name Lixin Group. He was also surprised that a company could deserve the attention of the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

"You may be unfamiliar with the Lixin Group, but when you arrive in Ganliang, especially in Shazhou, you will be familiar with the name, because as long as you are in Shazhou, you can't avoid this company."

"The relevant central departments received a lot of complaints about this company and first sent them to Gansu and Liang Province, asking them to investigate, but the response was that there was no problem. Later, our relevant departments went to investigate on their own and found that there were big problems with the Lixin Group. The staff who went to investigate were also threatened with their lives. In the end, because the local authorities were in collusion, the investigation did not produce any results."

"It was because of this investigation that the higher-ups paid great attention to Shazhou and the Lixin Group, so they set up two investigation teams, one open and one secret, to investigate Shazhou. However, both times they returned empty-handed. The investigation team encountered resistance from all sides in their investigation of Shazhou and was unable to make any progress."

"This resistance comes not only from the sandbar, but also from Ganliang Province."

"In the end, the investigation team believed that without the support of internal forces in Shazhou, it would be difficult for us to break through and capture the stronghold of Lixin Group. So our Organization Department directly appointed Comrade Qi Yaqiu to Shazhou without the support of the Ganliang Provincial Party Committee."

"And you know the result later." Deputy Minister Hong sighed.

After listening to Deputy Minister Hong's detailed explanation, Qin Feng finally had a clear understanding of the whole matter and had a general understanding of the Lixin Group.

"Minister Hong, Comrade Qi Yaqiu is the mayor of Shazhou City, and he was sent directly by the central government. If it weren't for the desperate situation and the fact that it's a matter of life and death, I believe that the Lixin Group would not dare to attack Comrade Qi Yaqiu even if they had the guts to do so."

"Has Comrade Qi Yaqiu already obtained fatal evidence against the Lixin Group?" Qin Feng asked.

"No, I don't know about that, and it's not our responsibility." Deputy Minister Hong shook his head.

Qin Feng nodded. The more Deputy Minister Hong spoke, the more pressure Qin Feng felt.

"Minister Hong, there is something I know I shouldn't say, but I still have to say it." Qin Feng thought about it again and again and finally opened his mouth.

"You say." Minister Hong nodded.

"According to what you just told me, the umbrella of protection for this Lixin Group is not only Shazhou City, but also Ganliang Province. Judging from the failure of the two previous investigation teams and the investigation into the cause of death of Comrade Qi Yaqiu, Ganliang Province is suspected of protecting the Lixin Group."

"Under the circumstances where Ganliang Province intends to protect the Lixin Group, it is really difficult for me to investigate the Lixin Group and catch the Lixin Group and the umbrella behind it in one fell swoop with my own strength." Qin Feng complained again.
