The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"That's right, Executive Zhang makes sense. By your logic, if you get a little close to female colleagues at your unit, would there be an affair between you?"

Chen Fang asked with a chuckle.

Seeing Zhang Moqian's face suddenly turn angry.

Chen Fang added, "Executive Zhang, don't get upset. I'm just making a reasonable suspicion."

"Chen Fang! I know you're glib! Don't be too smug. Today's matter will definitely be thoroughly investigated. When the results come out, you'll have a lot to drink."

Zhang Moqian said through gritted teeth after being snubbed.

Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "From what Executive Zhang is implying, I'm the informant?"

"Who else but you? Only you meet the conditions!"

Zhang Moqian said emphatically.

The reason he was so sure was simple.

This entire setup was originally set for Chen Fang.

The whole operation was very sudden.

The people below were notified only after their cell phones were confiscated.

From this perspective.

Chen Fang was the only candidate for being the informant.

"Director Wu, may I ask, if this informant is found, what kind of punishment will they face?"

Suddenly.

Chen Fang asked Wu Qifeng.

A cold smile flickered across Wu Qifeng's lips.

He said, "Leaking information to a criminal suspect involves breaking the law and crime. Whoever it is, they will bear the legal consequences."

"What's the matter? Getting anxious?"

Hearing Chen Fang's question.

Zhang Moqian asked with some smugness.

Chen Fang took a sip of tea and said, "Why do I feel that Executive Zhang is more anxious than anyone? Could it be that today's operation was designed by you for me?"

Such a question.

Normally, a person would deny it.

But Zhang Moqian hated Chen Fang too much.

He desperately wanted to regain the face he had lost before.

Anger made him careless of everything.

He gave a wicked smile.

Whispered into Chen Fang's ear, "Even if I did it, what can you do about it?"

"I'm just afraid that Executive Zhang will end up with nothing, hitting his own foot with a stone."

Just as Chen Fang finished saying this.

A knock on the door followed.

Soon after.

The door was pushed open.

A police officer walked in.

Wu Qifeng couldn't wait to ask, "Did you find it?"

The police officer nodded.

Pulled a sheet of paper out of his pocket and said, "Yes, we found it."

"Quick, read out the number!"

Zhang Moqian quickly stood up and said.

The police officer then looked at the paper and read out a string of numbers.

Just after he finished reading it.

Zhang Moqian immediately turned his head towards Chen Fang, sneering, "Mayor Chen, do you have anything to say now?"

Zhou Jingyan heard this.

Also suddenly looked at Chen Fang.

Said, "Mayor Chen, your conduct is already suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. Don't you owe us an explanation?"

"Explain what?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhang Moqian said, "Chen Fang, don't play dumb, okay? The evidence is complete now. What more do you have to deny? You can't say your phone sent the informant message by itself from your pocket, can you?"

Chen Fang smiled coldly.

Looked at the now rigid Wu Qifeng and said, "Director Wu, shouldn't you explain this?"

Zhou Jingyan and Zhang Moqian both looked at Wu Qifeng in confusion.

Only to see his face full of nervousness, sweat beginning to form on his forehead.

"Impossible, how can it be my number, I couldn't have sent this informant message..."

Wu Qifeng kept repeating this sentence.

Zhou Jingyan and Zhang Moqian were startled as if electrocuted.

They flinched simultaneously.

"What did you say? That number just reported was yours?"

Zhou Jingyan asked.

Zhang Moqian didn't dare to deny.

Nodded, panicked, and said, "But I didn't leak any info to Guo Peihan, I couldn't have, and... and my phone was turned in long ago, if you don't believe... if you don't believe, search me..."

After saying this.

He reached for his pocket.

Not touching was fine.

This touch left him stupefied again.

Hand trembling, he reached into his clothes pocket, and when he pulled it out, his phone was prominently in his palm.

Zhou Jingyan and Zhang Moqian's eyes went wide.

Wu Qifeng's hand began to tremble slightly.

He quickly explained, "Secretary Zhou, I didn't... I didn't send that text message... I really didn't... my phone was clearly surrendered..."

After all, the situation was too bizarre.

Even he couldn't fully explain it.

However, Chen Fang seemed to have a realization.

Just when he saw the paper, the man who delivered it was reporting to Wu Qifeng, likely when the phone was secretly transferred into his pocket.

Thinking of this.

He coldly said, "Director Wu, didn't you just say that leaking information to a criminal suspect already involves breaking the law? Whoever it is will bear legal consequences, including yourself, correct?"

"No, I didn't... I really didn't..."

What does it mean to be unable to argue a justified position?

That was his situation now.

Chen Fang suddenly reached out and patted Zhang Moqian on the shoulder.

Startling the dazed Zhang Moqian.

"Executive Zhang, how do you think we should handle this situation?"

At this point, Zhang Moqian was also confused.

Chen Fang had just arrived in Rongjiang City.

He couldn't possibly have arranged a "gap" within the Public Security Bureau to help him.

More importantly, he was under Wu Qifeng's surveillance the whole time. How did he accomplish such a sleight of hand?

"Uh... that... the matter may still need investigation..."

Zhang Moqian swallowed and said hesitantly.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Executive Zhang, aren't you using double standards here? You suspected me just now, and you couldn't wait to cuff me. Now it's Director Wu's turn, and it needs investigation? With so many people here, do you think that convinces anyone?"

That's the reality.

There were quite a few police officers in the command center.

They all looked at Zhang Moqian.

With an expression full of doubt.

Just at that critical moment.

Zhou Jingyan had already decided. She knew it wasn't Wu Qifeng, but she also had to give everyone an explanation. Otherwise, if Chen Fang got hold of something, handling future matters would become passive.

With a serious tone, she said, "Alright, no more arguing, since the current evidence involves Comrade Wu Qifeng, we should proceed according to the law."

After saying this.

She glanced at Wu Qifeng.

Said, "Comrade Wu Qifeng, as of now, you are relieved of your duties as Deputy Director of Public Security, temporarily detained, and will cooperate with the investigation. Do you have any objections?"

"Secretary Zhou..."

Wu Qifeng was certainly unwilling.

He wanted to argue a few points.

But Zhou Jingyan glared at him fiercely.

Helpless.

He could only obediently say, "I will follow the organization's arrangements."

After dropping these words.

Zhou Jingyan quickly left.

Having suffered such a huge loss, why stay and let people see her joke?
