Chapter 2811 Must Be Completed Even If It Cannot Be Completed

"This..." Jiang Yunpeng did not expect that his hopes would be dashed. Instead of becoming easier, things became more difficult.

"Just say what you want to say, and mention any difficulties you may be facing," Qin Feng said, glancing at Jiang Yunpeng before taking a drag on his cigarette.

"Mayor, to be honest, there are two difficulties. The first is that our Public Security Bureau has too much workload, especially now that it is the 100-day crackdown campaign, and we also have to deal with the upcoming crisis."

Jiang Yunpeng's complaints were valid. Qin Feng had been treating Jiang Yunpeng's police station like cattle for a while now, with the police station involved in every task. The importance of the police department was self-evident.

"Mayor, I'm not saying this to complain, nor am I saying we're not doing our job. I'm just describing the current situation in our police station. The pressure on our brothers is just too great."

“But I want to assure the mayor that I will resolutely complete the task you have assigned me, no matter how difficult it may be,” Jiang Yunpeng said, straightening his chest.

Qin Feng smiled. This Jiang Yunpeng was very shrewd. First, he complained, and then he said he was determined to complete the mission. He seemed to say nothing, but in fact he said everything. Moreover, Qin Feng could not get angry. He had to appreciate him and affirm his attitude.

"Whether it's you or your Public Security Bureau, you've certainly worked hard these past few days. And with so many things happening at once, the workload and pressure you've been under are immense. I'm well aware of that."

"But these are things that only your Public Security Bureau can do, and you must do them well. This is your job, so there's no point in you complaining."

"Comrades, you have indeed worked hard. Let's grit our teeth and get these important tasks done well during this period. Things will be easier afterward."

“I will try to get some extra funds for maintaining stability for your Public Security Bureau soon. Also, after you go back, contact the Provincial Public Security Department. I spoke with Secretary Zhao yesterday, and he agreed to have the Provincial Public Security Department approve a special fund for you.”

"Comrades, you've worked hard. Please give us more subsidies," Qin Feng said slowly.

Jiang Yunpeng was overjoyed to hear this. This was fantastic news, as money is the most important thing for any organization.

"Are there any other difficulties?" Qin Feng continued to ask.

"Secondly, there's the investigation of evidence, Mayor. Last time, it took us months of working day and night to find those clues, and now we need solid evidence..."

"This is no longer a question of whether we try or not. So much time has passed, and everyone from top to bottom is in agreement on this matter. Therefore, after the incident, any clues that could prove Qi Yaqiu's death was caused by human intervention have definitely been completely wiped out."

"Even if we might find evidence in some places, we can't obtain it through covert investigations."

"You asked me to find clues to determine whether Qi Yaqiu's car accident was an accident or intentional, and I can do that. But now you want me to find conclusive evidence, Mayor... I will definitely do it resolutely and with all my might, but I really can't guarantee that I can complete the task," Jiang Yunpeng said.

Qin Feng was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time Jiang Yunpeng had told him that he couldn't complete the mission.

Seeing Qin Feng's face darken, Jiang Yunpeng quickly said, "Mayor, this case is indeed very tricky, but I, Jiang Yunpeng, have been a policeman my whole life, and the brothers under my command are all very trustworthy."

"If this case can be formally filed and the entire Public Security Bureau can be mobilized to investigate it openly and honestly, I can assure you that we will definitely find evidence to overturn the case."

"But right now we can only investigate secretly; we have no way to exert our power, it's very difficult," Jiang Yunpeng quickly explained.

Qin Feng continued smoking, then slowly said, "Yunpeng, I'm not discussing this with you. You have to do it whether you can or not. I won't go into how serious it is, I'll just say one thing."

"If I can't get solid evidence to prove my speculation in front of the big leaders, I'll most likely have to bear political responsibility. And you know what will happen to the situation in Shazhou and Ganliang Province. So what do you think your future will be like?"

"A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, so I won't say anything too harsh. You should be able to figure it out yourself."

“I know how capable you, Jiang Yunpeng, are. Don’t try to negotiate with me on this matter. There are no conditions to negotiate. It must be done.”

"It's not like you'll be working entirely alone. In addition to the financial support from the municipal government and the provincial public security department, the provincial public security department will also provide you with expert and equipment support this time. These experts are all top-notch criminal investigation experts. You will be in charge of these experts and equipment. You will communicate with the public security department yourself regarding the specifics."

"Jiang Yunpeng, some things may seem difficult, but if you grit your teeth, you can definitely do them. Complete this task, and do these other things well, and I'll get you a position as vice mayor next year, so you need to seize this opportunity," Qin Feng concluded.

When Jiang Yunpeng heard Qin Feng say the words "vice mayor," his lips moved slightly.

Qin Feng didn't want to continue discussing this matter with Jiang Yunpeng. Just as he said, this matter had to be completed whether it could be completed or not; there was nothing more to say. This was a death order for Jiang Yunpeng.

"How's the arrangement going with the family members of your high-ranking police officers who were asked to move to Jiangnan Province, as I mentioned last time?"

"Your earlier objection to starting a direct war with the Yang family was also due to this concern, right?" Qin Feng changed the subject and asked Jiang Yunpeng.

"Yes, that's definitely a factor. A large portion of the officers in the Public Security Bureau are brothers who have followed me for many years and fought countless tough battles with me. I have a responsibility and an obligation to ensure the safety of their families. If we take action against the Yang family now, no one can guarantee that the Yang family won't actually harm their families." Jiang Yunpeng nodded.

"How are your arrangements going?"

"We're still doing ideological work and counting the number of people," Jiang Yunpeng replied.

“We can’t delay any longer. Here’s what we’ll do: you set an example and let your wife and kids go first. That will naturally have a ripple effect. In short, let’s hurry. We can’t let this hold us back forever.”

"I'll say it again, I'll take care of everything for their families over there. If they're willing to let their families live and study in Zhongjiang long-term, then they can stay permanently, and I'll resolve their household registration issues. If they're not willing, then they can come back anytime after we've completely resolved things with the Yang family. They'll just be staying temporarily for a while, so there's no need to worry about it." Qin Feng stubbed out his cigarette.
