Chapter 2511 I Want This Chapter

"I was in the province, and Secretary Jiang called me back to deal with this matter." Qin Feng nodded.

"I originally didn't plan to come back because I knew this matter involved the Lixin Group. If the Lixin Group didn't give in, this matter couldn't be resolved."

"In Shazhou, the only person who can make Lixin Group agree to reconcile with Lixin Group is Secretary Jiang, so I originally wanted Secretary Jiang to come forward to resolve this issue."

"But... Secretary Jiang had concerns. He still didn't want to have a direct conflict with the Lixin Group, so he called me back to deal with this matter."

"Secretary Jiang has set the tone that the No. 1 Middle School in the city cannot be moved to Xinyang City, but must be moved to Nanshan New District. The purpose of Lixin Group doing all this is to force Secretary Jiang and me to agree to move the No. 1 Middle School in the city to Xinyang City."

"Old Feng, Secretary Jiang doesn't want to offend the Lixin Group on the one hand, and on the other hand he doesn't want to give up the interests of No. 1 Middle School in the city. He wants to get all the benefits, so he retreated behind the scenes and forced me to the front line to handle this matter. He asked me to jump into this fire pit and help him bear all the responsibilities and risks. Do you think I feel wronged?" Qin Feng complained to Feng Changjun.

Feng Changjun saw all of this clearly.

"Of course, Mayor Yuan Wei and you, Old Feng, are also jumping into the fire pit with me."

"If this matter is not resolved in the end and causes a big impact, I will not be able to escape responsibility, and neither will you and Mayor Yuan Wei. Moreover, I have already discussed it with Secretary Jiang. I will take all the responsibility for him in exchange for your complete obedience to my orders."

"In other words, no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, it will not affect Secretary Jiang. Similarly, no matter how this matter develops in the end, Secretary Jiang will not care about you. He has completely handed you over to me. This is the agreement I reached with him." Qin Feng said seriously.

This is indeed the agreement between Qin Feng and Jiang Longjun. Although neither of them said it explicitly, people at this level understand each other and there is no need to say it explicitly.

Feng Changjun was not too surprised after hearing this, but nodded slightly and said: "This point... I roughly guessed it."

"Mayor, I was promoted by Secretary Jiang. Secretary Jiang has been very kind to me, but... as I said before, I am the director of the Public Security Bureau and the deputy mayor. I will always be your soldier."

"Whether there is an agreement between you and Secretary Jiang or not, I will obey your orders." Feng Changjun said while smoking.

When Jiang Longjun asked him to obey Qin Feng's orders, Feng Changjun knew that he had been sold to Qin Feng as a bargaining chip by Jiang Longjun.

"So... you, me, and Mayor Yuan Wei, the three of us are now standing on the same boat. If this matter cannot be resolved, none of us will make it to the shore alive." Qin Feng said.

Feng Changjun nodded: "Mayor, I am responsible for this matter. If I had taken your reminder more seriously, the result would not be so bad today."

"You are wrong. It is inevitable that we are in this situation. A thief can do anything for a thousand days, but you cannot guard against thieves for a thousand days. Even if you take it seriously, there will be a next time."

"To put it bluntly, as long as Secretary Jiang doesn't dare to confront the Lixin Group head-on and is unwilling to give up the interests of No. 1 Middle School, we will have to face the situation we have today sooner or later." Qin Feng pointed out the core of the problem.

Feng Changjun thought about it carefully, then nodded. He also agreed with what Qin Feng said.

"Before coming here, I called Yang Zhijie, and he made it clear that, first, he would not hand over the person, and second, he wanted the city's No. 1 Middle School. I couldn't agree to either of these two points, so there was no solution to this problem."

"If we want to temporarily calm the anger of the people in Liujia Village, the only thing we can do is to arrest people and solve the case. Only by arresting this group of people can we give an explanation to the people and at the same time clear our government of any connection with this matter. Then, we can let Mayor Yuan Wei do some ideological work, and we may be able to calm this matter down."

"On the other hand, as long as we catch this group of people, we will have the initiative in the confrontation with the Lixin Group. Then we will have the capital to negotiate with the Lixin Group." Qin Feng said this time while looking at Feng Changjun.

"So, the key to the problem, and also the key to whether you and I can safely get through this crisis, is whether we can catch this group of people."

"Old Feng, this is why I came to your Public Security Bureau as soon as I got off the plane. This is also why I called you here and asked you about your control over the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

"The Municipal Public Security Bureau is your territory. I am not here to criticize you or to seize your power. I am here for only one purpose, to support your work."

"Old Feng, a meeting is about to start over there, and so many people are waiting. Give me a clear idea now, what do you think should be done to catch the guy?" Qin Feng leaned on the sofa and looked at Feng Changjun.

Feng Changjun remained silent for a long time before he took out a cigarette, handed it to Qin Feng, and lit it for Qin Feng himself.

"Mayor, I understand everything you said, and I am very grateful that you can be so frank with me today. But Mayor, it is too difficult to catch these people, almost impossible." Feng Changjun sighed.

"It's definitely difficult. If it wasn't difficult, would Secretary Jiang have called me back to stand in front of him? But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. If we do it, there's still a glimmer of hope. If we don't do it, you and I will both die."

"Let me ask you one last question. Are you afraid to catch these people or are you unable to catch them?" Qin Feng stared at Feng Changjun and asked again.

Feng Changjun looked at Qin Feng's eyes, smiled, and then said: "The mayor's meaning is very clear. Over the years, I have indeed turned a blind eye to the situation in the Municipal Public Security Bureau. This was not my original intention, but Secretary Jiang's request."

"Of course, I don't want to get involved. Although I am the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the waters of Shazhou Municipal Public Security Bureau are too deep. If I dare to go in easily, I will not be able to make more than a few moves."

"But I know my situation now. This is indeed my only chance. Now that it has come to this, what do I have to be afraid of? What else do I have to worry about?"

"Mayor, it's not that I'm afraid. It's just that I really don't have the ability to arrest people. If you want me to approve funds to withdraw a few people, I can do that, but I can't command the specific business work, not to mention that we are going to arrest people from the Lixin Group." Feng Changjun told the truth.

"Okay, Lao Feng, I came here today just to hear this sentence from you. As long as you tell me that you are not afraid, that's enough." Qin Feng stood up "happily".

"It's almost time, let's go to the meeting. We can't keep them waiting too long." Qin Feng said and walked out.
