The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"Li Duming, what do you think you are? What right do you have to boss me around? You're nothing but a piece of trash, and yet you dare to act so arrogantly. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to shoot you?"

Sun Shenru shouted like a madman.

Afterwards,

he scanned the eyes of everyone present.

He said, "In what way am I inferior to Tan Yandong? When he was around, why did he get to overpower me? When he was the county head, all of you obeyed him without question. Finally, when he died and I became the county head, you all had to mess with me here and there. Do you really think I'm so easy to bully, huh?"

At that moment, a sudden voice came from behind.

"Sun Shenru, why don't you think carefully, are you the one playing others, or is it the other way around?"

Everyone looked attentively.

It was actually Chen Fang.

He had come out of the investigation area completely unharmed.

The moment Sun Shenru saw Chen Fang, his eyes turned red.

Not out of wanting to cry, but out of rage-induced bloodshot.

"You... how did you get out?"

He asked with a trembling voice.

Chen Fang pushed past the line of police officers and walked out slowly.

He continued, "Since you took office, you have been eliminating dissidents and sidelining Mr. Li. You are so utterly obsessed with power, and that's why you've ended up like this. So, in the end, you really have no one to blame but yourself."

"It's you, all because of you, you caused all of this."

Sun Shenru pointed his gun at Chen Fang and yelled.

Chen Fang was not intimidated.

He simply went over to the side of the police chief, Zou Fengming, and whispered something in his ear.

Upon hearing it,

Zou Fengming was stunned.

After hesitating for a moment,

he said to Sun Shenru, "County Chief Sun, please hand me the gun!"

"Get lost!"

Sun Shenru was fearless.

He pointed the gun at Zou Fengming for a moment.

Zou Fengming clenched his teeth and ordered, "Notify the SWAT team, have the riot police in position, sound the alarm, and enter first-level readiness."

At the command,

the piercing siren of the police station echoed throughout the courtyard.

Fully armed SWAT and riot police rushed to the scene immediately.

They formed a wall, protecting everyone present. The snipers also set up in no time, aiming their sniper rifles at Sun Shenru, who was still holding his gun.

In just the blink of an eye,

the situation on the scene had completely reversed.

Many people had been surrounding Sun Shenru.

But this time, he stood alone in the center, surrounded by eyes fixed fiercely upon him.

"You've lost,"

Chen Fang said.

Sun Shenru, gripping the gun and shouting as if injected with adrenaline, said, "No, I won't lose, it's impossible for me to lose. I've worked hard to get to where I am today. It's all you, you ruined me, I'll kill you!"

While yelling,

he waved the gun in his hand.

But at this time, Chen Fang was already behind a riot shield.

He was out of reach.

"As county head, in ancient times known as County Magistrate, you are supposed to seek welfare for the citizens of the entire county. The ancients said that you should establish a heart for the world, a life for the people, sustain the wisdom of the past, and create peace for all eternity. Even if you can't achieve this, you can't turn power into a private tool for personal gain. Look at yourself now, do you even resemble a county head anymore?"

Chen Fang said sternly.

Like thunder striking his head,

Sun Shenru shivered on the spot.

With a clatter,

he loosened his grip.

The gun fell to the ground.

His body also slumped down on the floor.

"Take him down!"

Zou Fengming commanded.

The first one rushed forward, kicked the gun away, and other officers swarmed in to subdue Sun Shenru.

Li Duming ordered that Sun Shenru be temporarily detained by the Changming County Public Security Bureau.

After reporting to the Municipal Party Committee, they would decide how to deal with him.

It was a false alarm.

Everyone was still somewhat scared afterward because in that situation, nobody knew if Sun Shenru would become frenzied enough to truly pull the trigger.

"How did you get out?"

Li Duming dragged Chen Fang to one side and asked in a low voice.

Chen Fang smiled and turned around, pointing to where Ning Yi was standing in the corner.

"Her?"

Li Duming didn't quite understand.

Chen Fang leaned close to Li Duming's ear and whispered a sentence.

Li Duming looked surprised and involuntarily exclaimed, "So she is..."

Realizing what he was about to say should not be said, he promptly closed his mouth.

The whole affair, in fact, was not complicated at all.

Ning Yi was brought back and thrown into an interrogation room, not long after, the captain of the Criminal Police, Ding Yanli, upon seeing her, panicked and hurriedly released her.

From this one could tell.

That day, Ding Yanli still couldn't resist his curiosity and sneaked a peek at the surveillance.

After Ning Yi was released.

She asked Ding Yanli to rescue Chen Fang.

Just when Sun Xi's two bodyguards were about to take action, Ding Yanli charged in and subdued the three men inside.

In a way, he had redeemed himself through meritorious deeds.

Not long after this incident.

The head of the Public Security Bureau, Zou Fengming, was removed from his post.

The meritorious Ding Yanli was directly promoted from deputy director to director.

This is what's called an unstoppable rise in officialdom.

Of course, this is all by the by, let's not discuss it here for now.

After the Public Security Bureau settled down.

Li Duming immediately called the Municipal Party Secretary and reported the whole sequence of events in detail.

The Municipal Committee held an urgent meeting.

Half an hour later, the committee made a decision to dispatch a team from the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission (Disciplinary Committee) to take over the case.

At nine in the evening.

The special task force from the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission arrived at Changming County Public Security Bureau and took away all the relevant suspects.

A week later.

The Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission issued a notice that Sun Shenru was expelled from the party and the relevant crimes would continue to be investigated by the municipal supervision committee of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

With this,

The era of Sun Shenru came to an absolute end.

First, there was the suicide case of Tan Yandong.

Then, there was the corruption and abuse of power case involving Sun Shenru.

In a short period of time, Changming County became the center of attention, especially those close to Sun Shenru were in danger.

Probably after another half-month.

The Municipal Committee issued an order.

The former Deputy Secretary, Xing Yu, was appointed to take over as the County Deputy Secretary and Acting County Magistrate of Changming County.

This showed.

Xing Yu, who had already lost interest in officialdom, became the biggest winner of this power struggle.

Of course, not only the previously mentioned Ding Yanli and Xing Yu gained significantly, but also Li Duming, after being suppressed by two county magistrates, stood up again and won the right to speak in Changming County.

And this turnaround battle was fought by Chen Fang for him.

All along, the secretaries of the Changming County Party Secretary had to be ranked lower than the county magistrate's secretaries.

It was from this event onwards that Chen Fang, the top secretary of the county committee, began to be regarded with greater respect when he stepped out the door.

On the third day after Xing Yu took office, the County Public Security Bureau began a large meeting for the return of Sun Xi's crime syndicate's ill-gotten gains.

The extorted money that had been obtained by his gang was fully returned. That same day, Chi Leng, the boss of Yuedong Space, also received a call from the Public Security Bureau, indicating that the previous high-interest loan was illegal, and the alleged debt involved was directly cancelled, meaning the loan agreement signed by Chi Leng's husband was null and void.

That evening.

Chen Fang received a call from Chi Leng, who wanted to invite him out for dinner.

Honestly, Chen Fang, who had been extremely busy during this time, didn't really want to go.

So he said, "Ms. Chi, I appreciate your kindness, I'll treat you next time we have the chance."

On the phone.

Chi Leng gave a seductive smile and asked, "Secretary Chen, could it be that you're not up to the task, are you afraid of me?"

The reverse psychology still worked.

Especially when it came to questioning Chen Fang's competence.

Hearing this, Chen Fang, not wanting to seem weak, replied, "Are you kidding? I, Chen Fang, am not afraid of anyone. Just tell me the time and place, and I'll be there after work."

Chi Leng happily responded, "No need, I'm right now across the street from the County Committee compound, in a red car. Once you're ready, Secretary Chen, just get in the car."

Chen Fang was startled.

He thought, "Damn, this woman's got something, she knew right from the start that I definitely wouldn't refuse."
