Chapter 2893 Shao Hongli's Last Will and Testament

Just then, the phone on Jiang Longjun's desk rang.

"Secretary Jiang, there's something else I need to report," Qin Feng said to Jiang Longjun as he was about to answer the phone.

"what's up?"

"Shao Hongli left a suicide note at the scene, in which he not only confessed to his illegal activities and the reasons for his suicide out of fear of punishment, but also reported that I had an improper relationship with Huayang Group, and that Huayang Group was suspected of major violations of laws and regulations in taking over the current five projects." Qin Feng finished speaking and looked at Jiang Longjun with a smile.

Jiang Longjun had already reached for the telephone, but after hearing Qin Feng's words, his hand froze in mid-air.

"What's your own opinion on this?" Jiang Longjun asked after a long pause.

"I have done nothing wrong and am not afraid of being investigated, and I am willing to be investigated by the organization. However, these five projects have just stabilized and are at a critical stage of promoting full resumption of work. They cannot be subjected to any more setbacks." Qin Feng's words were loaded with meaning.

"Understood. The Municipal Committee will stand up to protect Huayang Group in this matter." Jiang Longjun nodded silently. Whether he was sincere or not, he had to do it. He needed Qin Feng's support now.

Qin Feng walked out of Jiang Longjun's office with satisfaction, but his face darkened as soon as he stepped out.

His composure in front of Jiang Longjun was all an act. Shao Hongli's death was not good news for Qin Feng, and his current situation was also not good, only slightly better than Jiang Longjun's.

Qin Feng now admires Yang Guoqiang more and more; Yang Guoqiang is almost the most insidious opponent he has ever encountered in his life. He secretly instructed the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to arrest Ding Wenbo, but Yang Guoqiang retaliated by killing Shao Hongli and even leaving a suicide note accusing him and Huayang Group of this scheme.

To everyone else, Qin Feng and Huayang Group must have something fishy going on. So Yang Guoqiang killing Shao Hongli was a defensive move, while his suicide note exposing Qin Feng and Huayang Group was an offensive move. Seeing this suicide note in the presence of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, if it had been someone else, they might have really been caught this time.

Qin Feng walked along, smoking a cigarette, with Zhang Xinming following behind him.

"Has the Secretary-General called yet?" Qin Feng asked.

"No," Zhang Xinming replied.

Just as Zhang Xinming finished his report, his cell phone rang in his briefcase. As he followed Qin Feng downstairs, Zhang Xinming took out his phone from his briefcase.

"Mayor, it's the Secretary-General's phone." Zhang Xinming reported immediately after seeing the number.

"Just give it to me." Qin Feng took the phone from Zhang Xinming and answered it as he went downstairs.

Normally, Zhang Xinming would answer the phone first, find out what it was about, and then hand the phone to Qin Feng.

But the situation is urgent today, and Qin Feng doesn't have the patience for all that.

"This is Qin Feng," Qin Feng said directly as he answered the phone.

Chen Guohua, on the other end of the phone, was also taken aback when he heard Qin Feng answer. He paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Mayor, something terrible has happened..."

"I already know. Where are you now?" Qin Feng interrupted Chen Guohua.

"I am currently accompanying comrades from the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to the crime scene."

"What are you doing at the crime scene? Let Jiang Yunpeng and the others handle the on-site investigation. Let Zhou Mincheng accompany the municipal party committee and the provincial discipline inspection commission. You are here to oversee the municipal government and are not allowed to go anywhere else." Qin Feng's words were stern.

"You need to do a few things now. First, arrange for someone to accompany Shao Hongli's family. Although Shao Hongli committed suicide out of fear of punishment, it happened before the Discipline Inspection Commission investigated him. As long as the organization has not yet defined his illegal and criminal behavior, he is still the deputy mayor of Shazhou City and one of our comrades."

"So before the organization gives a clear definition of his death, everything is handled in accordance with the treatment for the funeral of a leader of this level. While comforting his family, we are also indirectly supervising them. At this time, we must not let his family cause any more trouble."

"Second, you must immediately contact the Propaganda Department and the Public Security Bureau. You must do everything you can to cover this up. Before the organization gives an official conclusion on this matter, not a single word is allowed to be released to the public. You need to understand the seriousness of this matter." Qin Feng walked to the car, and Zhang Xinming opened the car door for Qin Feng so that he could get in.

"Third, contact Mayor Changjun and have him go to the crime scene immediately. Let him take charge of this matter, including the investigation and the coordination with the municipal party committee and the provincial discipline inspection commission. Jiang Yunpeng is not high-ranking enough and it is not appropriate for him to speak on the scene. You have other things to do, so it is most appropriate to let Mayor Changjun take charge."

"Fourth, inform Mayor Yuanwei about this matter and tell him to prepare to temporarily take over Shao Hongli's work. At the same time, ask him to speed up the process of completing the relevant procedures and formalities for Huayang Group to take over these projects, so that there are no major loopholes. With Shao Hongli dead, this fire may spread to this matter."

"Fifth, maintain real-time contact with the Municipal Party Committee and report the situation to them. Shao Hongli is our Municipal Government's Executive Vice Mayor, but he is also a member and Standing Committee member of the Municipal Party Committee. Jiang Longjun now wants to dump this mess entirely on our Municipal Government. We can't avoid it, but we can't shoulder everything ourselves either..."

Qin Feng sat in the car and kept issuing orders to Chen Guohua.

The secretary-general is like a chief steward. In this emergency, Qin Feng couldn't possibly arrange everything one by one. The secretary-general is in charge of this work, which is why Qin Feng insisted that Chen Guohua stay at the municipal government.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng thought for a moment and said to Zhang Xinming, "Call Jiang Yunpeng and tell him to focus on investigating the case and talk less. Let Feng Changjun handle the communication with the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He should just listen to Feng Changjun in everything."

Qin Feng was still somewhat worried that Jiang Yunpeng was young and had never encountered such a situation before, and might say or do something wrong in the process.

After rushing back to his office, Qin Feng said to Zhang Xinming, "I am now reporting to the provincial leaders. Please do not disturb me for the time being. You should keep in touch with the Secretary-General and Jiang Yunpeng and have them come to my office to report after they have finished arranging their work."

After Zhang Xinming left, Qin Feng immediately called Zhao Hongjian's office. Zhao Hongjian's secretary answered the phone and handed it to Zhao Hongjian.

"Qin Feng, what is it?" Zhao Hongjian's voice was as kind as ever. Zhao Hongjian always gave people a feeling of warmth and comfort, and in Qin Feng's eyes, he had always been a kind older brother.

"Secretary Zhao, something's happened, Shao Hongli is dead," Qin Feng reported.

In private, Qin Feng calls Zhao Hongjian "Big Brother," but at work, he always addresses him by his official title.

"I just received the report. What exactly happened? Why did the person die?" Zhao Hongjian asked calmly.

Zhao Hongjian's performance was much more composed than Jiang Longjun's and Qin Feng's. Firstly, Zhao Hongjian was more experienced and therefore more composed. Secondly, it was also due to their positions; Jiang Longjun and Qin Feng would bear responsibility for Shao Hongli's death, but Zhao Hongjian would not.
