Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 930: The Struggle of the Political and Legal Department

From being high-spirited to being completely hopeless, from having a huge following to being avoided by everyone, the young Luo Jianguo experienced this huge gap for the first time.

His father's sudden downfall made him realize the fickleness of human nature and the indifference of others when they leave.

When my father was alive, he was very popular. All the leaders in Tianshui District called him Comrade Xiao Luo affectionately.

The subordinates called Director Luo respectfully.

Now, the name has not changed, but the tone and attitude have changed.

The gazes are no longer level, looking up, or showing affection and flattery, but are replaced by contempt, pity, and keeping a distance.

He knew that these people felt they were following in their father's footsteps.

Yes, even he thought so.

It was his junior, Hou Liangping, who caught the case.

That year, he and Qi Tongwei and his team rejected Hou Liangping's application to join the student union, which marked the beginning of a conflict.

What he didn't expect was that this junior fellow had now risen from being a serf and became the son-in-law of the provincial governor, climbing over his head.

At a young age, he became a deputy division-level cadre and deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and even his father fell into his hands.

Whenever he thought of the junior classmate who "showed off" and took his father away from his home, he felt so angry that his teeth itched, and he hated himself for not being cruel enough back then.

Hatefulness cannot solve the problem.

He is the only man in the family now, and he needs to be prepared for the storm that may come.

This junior student would definitely not let him and his father off so easily, and he had to solve this problem as soon as possible.

But how can a fledgling that has been sheltered for a long time spread its wings and fly high in a short time?

Fortunately, his mother was calmer than him.

Before leaving, she took his hand and repeatedly told him not to say anything about his father's affairs if anyone asked, let alone ask about it.

Luo Jianguo has lived in such an environment since he was a child, so of course he knows that this is the best approach.

Only by distancing yourself from the issue and making a political break can you protect yourself.

But he didn't think this method would keep him safe. When an enemy is staring at you with a covetous eye, even an egg can be bitten to make a crack.

The best way now is to settle his father's case, and have the higher authorities come forward to determine the nature of the case and make the final decision.

As long as the case is closed and everything is settled, Hou Liangping will not dare to reopen the case even if there are some flaws.

But it is not so easy to close the case.

His father clearly wanted to hold on, and since he wanted to hold on, he naturally had to bear all the blame.

If you want to close the case as soon as possible, the best way is to make up for the embezzled public funds.

The total amount is about 13 million. In addition to the 7 million that was collected, there is still a gap of 6 million.

Luo Jianguo knew where the six million would go.

Most of it was used to help his father get promoted.

From the deputy director of the Tianshui District Industrial Bureau, to the executive director of the Urban Construction Bureau, to the director of the Finance Bureau, and now to the deputy district mayor, every step was paved with money.

When Luo Jianguo proposed to make up for the stolen money, his mother immediately opposed it.

"Millions! Where can we find such a large sum of money?"

Luo Jianguo said: "Mom, don't worry. Your son has been good for a lot of things these years. He still has some friends. If you borrow some money from them, maybe he can fill this hole."

Luo's mother disagreed, "It's just robbing Peter to pay Paul.

If you borrow from them, what will you give back?

Besides, you know the morals of those businessmen. Their money is not so easy to take. Your father's journey to where he is today started with a loan from a businessman."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, just forget it and stop making such a fuss. I just hope you're safe and sound.

The laws in our country are now much more relaxed, and corrupt officials are no longer targeted.

Your father is still young. Even if he is sentenced to life imprisonment, he still has a chance to get out. At most, he will be released in fifteen or sixteen years. If he behaves better in prison, he can be released sooner. Why should he sacrifice your career?

Luo Jianguo said: "I'm afraid you are too optimistic. Even if the law doesn't punish my father, can those people behind my father let him live?

Could the Anti-Corruption Bureau let him get away with it so easily?"

Luo's mother was very optimistic, "Don't worry, they won't dare to act rashly.

Your dad is such a smart man, how could he not have any backup plan?

If anything happens to him, there will definitely be a lot of people who will be buried with him."

Luo Jianguo was not optimistic. As a judge, he had seen too many dirty tricks and too many ways to make people shut up.

Seeing that he couldn't convince his mother, he decided to use his own methods to rescue his father first.

When he went out to work with great confidence, he didn't know that someone had already set up a trap for him.

……

Jingzhou Procuratorate.

"Quarterly inspection."

"Quarterly inspection."

"..."

After entering the office building, Ji Changming nodded to everyone while habitually observing the expressions and movements of everyone in the procuratorate.

This is a habit he has developed over the years.

He has a humble background, but the reason he was able to climb to his current position is largely due to his vigilant and cautious nature.

In official circles, if you don’t have a background, you don’t have the qualifications to act recklessly.

You can only be careful, careful and careful again.

Every insignificant detail and every unintentional word may be the key to success or failure.

At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar sound of leather shoes kissing tiles came from behind.

Ji Changming didn't look back, he silently compared the footsteps in his mind.

I found that the footsteps sounded a bit like Hou Liangping's, but not completely, as if they were wearing Hou Liangping's skin.

After hearing a while, Ji Changming still couldn't identify the footsteps behind him, so he couldn't help but turn around.

At first glance, it turned out to be the devil from their Jingzhou Procuratorate.

The perceptive Ji Changming could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the monkey.

Eight out of ten times during work, Hou Liangping would whistle as if no one was around, put one hand in his pocket, walk swayingly, and look nonchalant.

Today the sun rose from the west, and not only did his steps become steady and his posture upright, but even the cynical attitude on his face was restrained.

"Good morning, Liangping." Ji Changming stopped curiously and greeted him first.

"Inspector Ji." Hou Liangping held the bag in one hand and placed the other on his abdomen. He held down his suit and bowed slightly to Ji Changming, responding very respectfully and formally.

Ji Changming was stunned. He looked Hou Liangping up and down, wondering what this kid was up to. He praised him, "Not bad. Today you look a bit like the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

Hou Liangping laughed and said, "Ji Jian, didn't I have one before?"

"What do you think?" Ji Changming threw the question back with a smile.

Hou Liangping laughed dumbly. "Okay, then, Quarterly Inspector, you supervise me. Starting today, I, Hou Liangping, will begin to change myself."

Ji Changming smiled and said, "I won't fish for three days and rest for two days."

"That's definitely not possible."

"Okay, I'll supervise. Don't get embarrassed when you criticize me."

"Look at what you said. You are right to criticize me. How can I blush?"

After hearing this, Ji Changming was stunned again.

Normally, Hou Liangping would not say such humble words.

With the background of a father-in-law who is a provincial governor, he usually treats leaders like them as equals. If he is unhappy, he has to give them a hard time.

What happened today? What on earth is this guy up to?

Hou Liangping ignored Ji Changming's surprise, walked towards the office with a smile, and changed the subject purposefully.

"Ji Jian, two or three years ago, you and my teachers and seniors went to Haizhou to fight corruption and were very successful. When I was deputy secretary of Haizhou last year, I heard a lot of praise from people. Can you share some information so I can learn from you?"
