Chapter 2503: Doing Great Things but Being Cherished

"Secondly, Secretary Jiang, the mayor personally talked to me about the Liujia Village incident a few days ago and told me to pay special attention to Liujia Village to prevent any more accidents from happening."

"I immediately went to the Public Security Bureau to arrange the work and told the Municipal Public Security Bureau to send people to strengthen patrols near Liujia Village and ensure that there are enough police officers nearby 24 hours a day."

"According to my investigation, the Municipal Public Security Bureau has deployed forces to patrol the area this week, working three shifts a day."

"But just yesterday, our Public Security Bureau's Executive Deputy Director Chang Yunbing thought that nothing had happened for so many days, and it was a complete waste to keep so many police officers there. In addition, comrades also complained that continuous night shifts were too tiring, so Comrade Chang Yunbing withdrew the group of personnel on duty this morning without reporting to me."

"And it just so happened that the incident happened early this morning." Feng Changjun stopped talking after saying this.

It seems that Feng Changjun did not make his words very clear, but in fact, for people like them, his words were already very thorough.

Some things are secrets to ordinary people, but are almost public to the city's top leaders. Everyone knows that the nominal director of the Shazhou Public Security Bureau is Feng Changjun, but in fact the Shazhou Public Security Bureau has been infiltrated by the Lixin Group like a sieve.

Yang Guoqiang had been secretly dealing with the police station since he broke into the sandbar with a knife. When he was robbing the coal mine, the first thing he spent the most money on was building a network of relationships in the public security system.

Therefore, Lixin Group has been focusing on building its network within the Shazhou Public Security System since many years ago. After so many years of operation, Lixin Group has almost formed a close interest relationship with the Shazhou Public Security System. Feng Changjun and Jiang Longjun are both aware of this.

The reason why Jiang Longjun had to let one of his own people be the director of the Shazhou Public Security Bureau was to prevent the Lixin Group from completely controlling Shazhou's public security system and letting Shazhou get completely out of control, and also for the sake of stability.

After Feng Changjun became the director of the Public Security Bureau, he basically handed over the daily work of the Public Security Bureau to Chang Yunbing. The first reason was that if he did not give Chang Yunbing power, Chang Yunbing might completely sideline him. The second reason was that Feng Changjun did not want to be involved in the affairs of the Lixin Group, nor did he want to be an enemy of the Lixin Group.

On this point, Feng Changjun and Jiang Longjun have the same strategy.

So over the years, although Feng Changjun was the director of the Public Security Bureau, he was not responsible for the daily work of the Public Security Bureau. He did not know about the activities between the Public Security Bureau and the Lixin Group. Even if he knew, he pretended not to know and turned a blind eye.

Feng Changjun had already said this, basically telling Jiang Longjun clearly that it was actually the Lixin Group that did it.

Hearing this, Jiang Longjun's expression changed completely, and Ma Shanming's expression also changed.

Everyone knows that it is one thing if Shao Hongli is behind this matter, but it is another matter if Lixin Group is behind it.

Jiang Longjun is very wary of the power of the Lixin Group in Shazhou and its strong network of relationships in the province. This is why Jiang Longjun has always adhered to the principle of not having any direct intersection with the Lixin Group and keeping out of other people's business for so many years.

The reason why Feng Changjun brought this up at this time was to ask Jiang Longjun whether to continue investigating the matter or not.

"Such a big thing has happened and there must be an explanation. These criminals must be brought to justice. Otherwise, will the villagers of Liujia Village let it go? How can we explain to the people and our superiors?" Jiang Longjun said after a moment of silence.

"But..." Jiang Longjun continued, but after saying "but", there was no further words. It was obvious that he didn't know what to do.

It is impossible not to investigate such a big matter thoroughly and to give the society an explanation. If no explanation is given, the matter in Liujia Village will never be resolved peacefully.

If they want to get to the bottom of it, they must trace it back to the Lixin Group, which would mean completely offending the Lixin Group, but Jiang Longjun doesn't have the courage to do so.

Being cautious when doing great things and forgetting righteousness when seeing small gains, this is the most appropriate evaluation of Jiang Longjun. Jiang Longjun can be where he is today because of his cautiousness, and the reason why he has lived timidly in Shazhou over the years is precisely because of his cowardice.

Both Feng Changjun and Ma Shanming knew clearly what Jiang Longjun meant by "but", so they remained silent.

"Secretary Jiang, I think you should not personally participate in this matter anymore. This is a trap set for you by Qin Feng." Ma Shanming said.

"Qin Feng may not be setting a trap for me. He doesn't want this to happen more than I do. He went to Xidu on business, which was arranged long ago and not a spur-of-the-moment decision. But you are right, it is not appropriate for me to personally intervene in this matter." Jiang Longjun smoked a cigarette.

"I think Shao Hongli should be responsible for solving this matter. Qin Feng is not here, and he is the head of the municipal government, so he should be responsible for this matter." Ma Shanming came up with an idea.

Ma Shanming's idea was very good, but also very vicious. It was clear that Lixin Group and Shao Hongli were behind this matter, and now Shao Hongli was asked to be responsible for solving the problem. If Shao Hongli could not solve the problem, then he would be held accountable. As for how Shao Hongli would deal with the matter with Lixin Group, they did not need to consider it.

"You can think of this, but Shao Hongli can't? I called Shao Hongli before you came and asked him to come out and solve this problem. Shao Hongli told me that he suddenly developed high blood pressure yesterday and is now being treated in the Municipal People's Hospital." Jiang Longjun sneered.

Ma Shanming fell into silence. Both Jiang Longjun and Shao Hongli were not easy to deal with.

"Then there is nothing we can do, Secretary Jiang, I think we should call Qin Feng back from Xidu and have him come back immediately to deal with this matter. In any case, you can no longer personally participate in this matter."

"Let Qin Feng come. This matter is his responsibility and he can't shirk it. Qin Feng has no other way to go after he comes back. He can only choose to investigate this matter and calm down his anger. So let him confront the Lixin Group head-on. No matter what the final result is, it has nothing to do with you. The Lixin Group cannot blame you." Ma Shanming came up with another plan.

"Qin Feng would never think of what you can think of. Why didn't he rush back immediately? And why did he call me in the middle of the night to report this matter and ask me to deal with it personally?"

"He is in Xidu now, and it is entirely possible that he will not be able to come back for the time being. As the top leader, as long as he does not come back, I must handle this matter personally."

"I already made him take the blame last time, he won't be so stupid this time." Jiang Longjun knew all of this.
