Chapter 667: Zhou Chunlei’s Action

Looking for trouble?

Zhou Chunlei’s heart missed a beat. He knew his classmate’s character very well- he was impartial and selfless. Since his old classmate said so, this was indeed a troublesome matter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chunlei asked solemnly, “Old classmate, is there anything between us that can’t be discussed? Just tell me what it is.”

This was Zhou Chunlei playing the emotional card. His way of addressing had changed from ‘Old Nie’ to ‘old classmate’ with an intention to remind Nie Zhenbang about their old school relationship.

Zhou Chunlei’s intentions were obvious to Nie Zhenbang, who gave a wry smile, nodded to Li Jupeng after glancing at Zhou Chunlei and Wang Baoguo.

Soon, Li Jupeng walked over with a stack of documents and placed them on the coffee table in front of Nie Zhenbang, who pushed them forward without even looking. He smiled and said, “Chunlei, you and Mayor Wang should first take a look at these materials.”

The change in the expressions of Zhou Chunlei and Wang Baoguo was evident when they went through the documents. It seemed that Nie Zhenbang was already well-prepared.

About half an hour later, they finished going through the entire stack of documents. The two looked at each other in the eye, their faces showing deep concern.

Zhou Chunlei’s mind started racing. He hadn’t expected such a major issue in Kulin County. The Kulin County Party Committee and the county government had violated the rules on official vehicles, hospitality and allocation. Not to mention, Rhea Group and Kulin county officials had forcibly evicted people, which inevitably led to more trouble.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chunlei looked at Nie Zhenbang and said in a low voice, “Old classmate. I am truly ashamed.”

The problems created by the Kulin County Party Committee and the county government, not only had they violated rules relating to official cars but also colluded with businessmen. This constituted a serious violation. No one would believe that the leaders in Kulin county were innocent. As the direct leaders of the Kulin County Party Committee, the Atai Municipal Party Committee was responsible.

This was why Zhou Chunlei was in utter disgrace. However, Nie Zhenbang just waved his hand, smiled faintly and said, “Old Zhou, I’ve decided not to report this issue directly to the Northwest Autonomy Region Disciplinary Committee after meeting you. I have faith in your character.”

Zhou Chunlei felt tremendous pressure despite the seemingly calm and composed words from Nie Zhenbang. His old school brother was now standing at the center of power. Of course, there were reasons related to his background, but from the looks of it, his old classmate had become very shrewd.

Nie Zhenbang reminded Zhou Chunlei about the power of the Disciplinary Committee. This meant that Zhou Chunlei was warned not to suppress the matter or trivialize it. The fact that his old classmate had connections even with the commissions at the highest level, was a true game changer. By informing Zhou Chunlei about the issue and leaving it in his hands to handle, Zhenbang was just playing the classmates’ card. After all, if higher-level authorities intervened, Atai City’s position would be awkward.

However, Zhou Chunlei did not object to it. In fact, he was relieved. After reading the entire set of documents, Zhou Chunlei decided that such matters needed to be thoroughly investigated, even if Nie Zhenbang did not mention it.

Zhou Chunlei exchanged glances with Wang Baoguo and said softly “Old schoolmate, rest assured, I will handle this matter fairly.”

He added after a pause, “As for most of the leaders of the Kulin County Party Committee violating the rules on the official vehicles and hospitality, we have decided to hold the responsible persons in Kulin County accountable and give them official punishments. These will be included in their personal files and annual assessment. Additionally, the county party secretary and the county mayor must make written self-criticisms and immediately correct the mistakes. The cars that exceed the standard should all be sealed and auctioned. The excessive hospitality expenses should be shared by all participating officials.”

Furthermore, regarding the issues of the Rhea Group’s investment and relocation, I am going to call the Atai City Disciplinary Committee immediately to form a special investigation team composed of the city discipline inspection commission, city supervision bureau, city public security bureau, and city demolition office and the Bureau of Land and Resources. They will rush to Kulin County overnight to investigate the entire case. No one shall be spared and we shall investigate thoroughly. Old classmate, how does that sound to you?”

The last sentence was addressed to Nie Zhenbang. As Zhou Chunlei said those words with stern resolve, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said with satisfaction, “Old Zhou, everything is up to you now.”

After Zhou Chunlei and Wang Baoguo left, Li Jupeng closed the door, walked into the living room and said to Nie Zhenbang, “Director, do you think this Atai City… ”

Before he could finish his sentence, Nie Zhenbang laughed. This was why he had chosen Li Jupeng to be his secretary and brought him to the Three Public Affairs Office. Such purity and innocence were rare. There were many capable officials in the officialdom, but few of them could maintain such innocence. In the officialdom, it was indeed very rare for someone to keep themselves undefiled despite being in such a deep pool of corruption.

Nie Zhenbang was aware of what Li Jupeng was implying and responded with a smile, “Jupeng, you are worried that Zhou Chunlei and the others would hesitate to investigate thoroughly because of Feng Xueliang, aren’t you?”

Seeing Li Jupeng nodding, Nie Zhenbang continued, “Jupeng, you’ve only seen one aspect and not the other. With us around, Zhou Chunlei wouldn’t dare to do so. He knows very well that even if Feng Xueliang intervenes, we are here to stop him.”

With Nie Zhenbang’s meeting with Zhou Chunlei, the actions on the side of Atai City were swift.

In Atai City, a special case team was quickly formed, led by various departments such as the Municipal Disciplinary Committee and the Supervision Bureau, and it officially stationed in Kulin County.

At the same time, the Atai Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government criticized the leadership of the Kulin County Party Committee and the county government in the Atai Party Newspaper, “Atai Daily”.

For a time, a gloomy cloud shrouded the Kulin County Party Committee and the county government. The Kulin County Party Committee and the county government’s office building.

In the luxurious office building, at the top floor, inside the luxurious conference room. Outside the glass curtain wall, one could clearly see the green fountain square in front of the office building.

At this moment, the conference room was filled with solemnity and heaviness. The leadership of the Kulin County Party Committee was all sitting on the real leather chairs in front of the oval conference table.

In the central seat, Deng Chunhe looked a bit weary. The series of actions in Atai City had made Deng Chunhe’s days quite hard.

In the “Atai Daily”, the criticism and major demerit notations weighed heavily on the leadership of the Kulin County Party Committee and the county government, like a giant stone.

At this moment, Deng Chunhe glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice, “Comrades…”

Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside, which caused Deng Chunhe’s face to change immediately. He said in a deep voice, “Who is it? Don’t they know that the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee is in session now?”

At the end. The secretary of the county party committee office walked to the door, opened the room door, and stepped out, less than thirty seconds later, the conference room door was pushed open from outside.

Several men in dark clothes were standing at the door. The leader of them gave the leaders of the Kulin County Party Committee a shaky feeling.

The person leading was Zhuo Jie, the head of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Section of the Atai Municipal Disciplinary Committee. This was a figure that made all the cadres in the city shudder.

Before Deng Chunhe could speak, Zhuo Jie’s gaze swept over everyone and landed on Deng Chunhe. He said in a deep voice, “Comrade Deng Chunhe. According to the instructions of Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee, please come with us.”

Not only was Deng Chunhe, but Niu Zhian and several other members of the Kulin County’s Party Committee were also put on “shuanggui” by the special case team from Atai City at the first instance.

“Deng Chunhe, do you know why we put you on ‘shuanggui’?”

In the reception house of the Kulinxian Armed Forces, the secretary of the Atai City Disciplinary Committee personally took charge and conducted the first interrogation of Deng Chunhe.

Seeing the scene before him, Deng Chunhe’s heart was filled with waves. After a moment of silence, Deng Chunhe shook his head and said, “Not clear.”

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed in the room. At this moment, the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee had already stood up. Looking at Deng Chunhe, he said in a deep voice, “Deng Chunhe, don’t try to be cunning or harbor any illusions. I’m telling you, now, no one can help you. Since you’re not clear about it, let me remind you. In the development and demolition of Kulin New City, how did you collude with the Rhea Group? Speak up now and you might still have a slim chance. Otherwise…”

Ruiya Hotel

At this moment, in the luxurious presidential suite at the top floor of the Ruiya Hotel, Feng Tianqi was sinking into the sofa. In front of him, a woman with a hot body and a beautiful face was kneeling in front of the sofa, her head deeply buried between Feng Tianqi’s legs.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Feng Tianqi didn’t move at all, just pressed the remote control beside him.

The door opened, and a young man walked in from outside. Seeing this scene, the man was not surprised at all, but instead walked over to Feng Tianqi and said in a low voice, “Young Master Feng, I just got the news. Deng Chunhe and his crew have been ‘shuangguied’ by the special case team of the Atai Municipal Disciplinary Committee. It seems that these people are targeting us.”

Hearing the man’s words, Feng Tianqi suddenly sat up straight, patted the woman between his legs, and put his ugly thing back into his trousers. Standing up, he said in a deep voice, “What the hell does Zhou Chunlei want to do? Let’s go, we’re heading back to Urumqi!” ().
