"Deputy Mayor Chen, I don't know...I don't know on what grounds we should proceed?"
Yu Beihai leaned in and asked in a low voice.
"Are you the police or am I the police?"
Chen Fang asked.
Yu Beihai had no choice but to nod.
After speaking, he gestured with a wave of his hand.
Jin Shuangxi and Hu Guanxiong were then handcuffed.
Just minutes ago, they were still swaggering.
Now they knew regret, both howling like banshees.
Both were seen being shoved into the police car.
Chen Fang motioned to Jiao Zhengbing.
Jiao Zhengbing, steeling himself, ran up and asked, "Deputy Mayor Chen, is there anything else?"
"I'm asking you, last night, a factory director from Yongxing Factory was arrested. Have you heard about this situation?"
Jiao Zhengbing looked troubled.
Chen Fang glared at him.
Jiao Zhengbing dared not act carelessly and hastily said, "Yes, I know. His name is Geng Junyu, the deputy director of Yongxing Factory."
"And the reason for his arrest?"
Chen Fang continued to ask.
Jiao Zhengbing swallowed hard and said, "Because he had been obstructing the discharge of wastewater from Yongxing Factory..."
The story began half a month ago.
At that time, Dou Qingquan led a team to investigate Yongxing Factory. During the investigation, Geng Junyu suddenly stepped forward and reported to Dou Qingquan that the wastewater treatment facilities at Yongxing Factory were damaged and, instead of repairing them, pipelines were built to discharge the wastewater into Tianjing Lake.
At the time, Dou Qingquan didn't say anything.
He simply had Guo Linkun deal with the matter.
After the investigation ended.
Guo Linkun found Geng Junyu and conveyed the municipal government's stance to him.
The same rhetoric as before.
Moreover, Guo Linkun also warned Geng Junyu not to meddle, or else the municipal government would certainly not let him off.
Unexpectedly, Geng Junyu was very obstinate.
He not only refused to compromise but also took photos specifically to expose the pollution of Tianjing Lake online.
Luckily, Guo Linkun reacted quickly, found out immediately, and had the publicity department remove these photos before they could make a significant impact.
It was after this incident that Guo Linkun, along with the environmental bureau, kept looking for ways to arrest him. Last night, Geng Junyu happened to be staying in a hotel when Guo Linkun found out and then went there with his men to arrest him.
It can be seen from this.
Last night, Guo Linkun's so-called assault on law enforcement officers was also all lies.
After all this trouble, it turns out Geng Junyu was the clear-headed one.
"Cheng, I'm leaving this to you."
After learning the details, Chen Fang said to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "You are also badly hurt right now. Although Dou Qingquan no longer has Zhao Yiping backing him, he is still the mayor, so be careful about how you handle this."
"I understand, don't worry."
Chen Fang nodded.
Then, he turned to look at Xu Yan.
He said, "Director Xu, you've seen quite a scene today. If everything goes as expected, this matter will continue to escalate, and I need to rush back to deal with it urgently."
"You attend to your matters; I'll head back to the yacht."
Xu Yan said with a smile.
Chen Fang nodded slightly, extended his hand for a handshake with Xu Yan, and said, "I've accepted the proposal you made on the yacht earlier."
These words brought a look of surprise to Xu Yan's face.
She earnestly said, "Deputy Mayor Chen, a promise is a promise!"
"A promise is a promise!"
After speaking, Chen Fang turned and got into one of Zhang Cheng's cars, speeding away.
It was Saturday.
At the Municipal Committee compound, it happened to be Dou Qingquan's shift.
By the time Chen Fang arrived, Guo Linkun had already elaborated on the events in front of Dou Qingquan, adding fuel to the fire.
After hearing this, Dou Qingquan was furious.
He suddenly slammed the table and roared, "Lawlessness, sheer lawlessness! Well done, Chen Fang, this is extremely arrogant. This is clearly confronting me."
Guo Linkun saw Dou Qingquan become angry.
He was delighted internally.
He said, "Mayor Dou, you are right. Chen Fang did it on purpose. Look, how long has Chen Fang been in Guyang City? Following Xue Bo, Ren Yiweng was also replaced, and we've switched mayors twice. Yet, he has been rising step by step, from head of the Organization Department to secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, and now to Deputy Mayor. Can't you see his little schemes? "
"Are you saying he's targeting the position of mayor?"
Dou Qingquan was stunned and asked.
Guo Linkun lowered his voice and said, "In Guyang City, our economy wasn't considered poor compared to several districts of Wulan City before, but it's different now. We are compared with province-managed municipal cities. Among the twenty-one province-managed municipal cities, our total economic output is not prominent. The Boiling Point Group is the only enterprise we can be proud of. Now that it has stopped production, isn't it clear that they intend to make our GDP hit rock bottom this second quarter?"
Having said this, he swallowed his saliva and continued, "If the GDP doesn't rise, whose responsibility is it? Mayor Dou, can't you see?"
Fanning the flames indeed worked.
Just now he was only slamming the table.
Now, flames of anger were already ignited in Dou Qingquan's eyes.
At that moment,
there was a knock on the office door.
Dou Qingquan's secretary walked in, respectfully saying, "Leader, Deputy Chen is here."
"Who?"
Dou Qingquan was startled.
The secretary repeated, saying, "Deputy Chen, Chen Fang, he said he has something to discuss with you."
"Tell him I have guests and no time to see him."
Dou Qingquan told his secretary.
The secretary nodded and left.
After a while, the secretary came back.
He continued, "Leader, Deputy Chen said it's okay if you are unable to see him, just hand over Geng Junyu to him."
"Who is Geng Junyu?"
Dou Qingquan was startled again.
Guo Linkun quickly explained to Dou Qingquan.
Dou Qingquan was relieved.
He told his secretary, "Tell him Geng Junyu can't be released yet. If he asks why, just say you don't know. Also, close the door and don't come in to disturb me anymore."
"Yes!"
The secretary left again.
Outside the mayor's office corridor,
Chen Fang was turned away.
This response also indicated to Chen Fang that Dou Qingquan and others were intentionally refusing to release the person. Their purpose was to embarrass Chen Fang.
In the mayor's office,
Dou Qingquan and Guo Linkun stood at the window, watching Chen Fang leave dejectedly.
Both felt an unprecedented satisfaction.
After all, it was quite satisfying to thwart Chen Fang.
"Is that Geng Junyu safe now?"
Dou Qingquan asked.
Guo Linkun grinned wickedly and said, "He's detained in the Environmental Protection Bureau. Could Chen Fang possibly storm in there and snatch him away?"
"What if he pressures Liu Hao?"
Dou Qingquan asked.
Guo Linkun chuckled and said, "Mayor Dou, don't worry. Director Liu and I share the same stance. You are the mayor. No matter how tough Chen Fang is, the government of Guyang City must ultimately be controlled by you."
