Reaching the Pinnacle: Starting from Joining the Discipline Inspection Commission

It was precisely because he understood Xu Chu's implied meaning that Chen Dashan's expression darkened instantly.

Not only him, but Wang Feng understood as well.

Xu Chu's intentions were very straightforward; in Wang Feng's opinion, Xu Chu was too lazy to argue with Chen Dashan and simply flipped the table.

I'm going to wipe you all out!

This is what Xu Chu wanted to express.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were in turmoil. No one expected that a small night market dispute would lead to such a huge upheaval.

Xiang Yuanwu looked at Xu Chu, his eyes shining again. Xu Chu's strength had exceeded his expectations, giving him hope once more.

"Mayor Xu, aren't you worried that if you do this, everyone will starve because of you?"

Chen Dashan's tone had become very unfriendly.

He looked at Xu Chu, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, clearly dissatisfied with Xu Chu's aggressive manner.

This statement is already implying to Xu Chu that if he insists on doing so, the consequences will be terrifying.

"If those who are starving cause you trouble, how will you deal with it?"

This is a threat!

A blatant threat!

Wang Feng felt the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and before he knew it, his back was soaked with sweat.

Is this a power struggle between those at the top?

Every word and action they take affects the hearts and minds of countless people, and a slight misstep could lead to being deeply entangled in it.

He looked at Xu Chu, then glanced at Chen Dashan out of the corner of his eye. The two were now locked in a fierce battle, each exuding a completely different aura.

suddenly…

Wang Feng's pupils contracted as he noticed a detail.

Mu Qingming had moved from their side to Chen Dashan's side at some point, and this seemingly insignificant detail made Wang Feng understand why Xiang Yuanwu had just been showing goodwill to Xu Chu.

Normally, as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Xiang Yuanwu should have had Mu Qingming standing in the middle like him. But now Mu Qingming has sided with Chen Dashan, which means that Xiang Yuanwu has been sidelined.

He wanted to reclaim his rights, so he was using this method to show Xu Chu that he was willing to stand by him as long as Xu Chu could help him.

This was exactly what Xiang Yuanwu was trying to express, and Wang Feng, having figured it out, couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

These old foxes, indeed, every move they make carries special significance.

"Explain with emotion and reason!"

Xu Chu spoke again, uttering eight words, glancing at Chen Dashan, and continued:

"In a society governed by the rule of law, the law is the standard and reason is the guide. Just like treating an illness, you must first find the root cause of the disease and then prescribe the right medicine."

"The reason they are hungry is simply because someone ate too much. So why not make those who ate too much eat less? Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

boom!

As soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, everyone on Chen Dashan's side showed expressions of shock and disbelief.

Without a doubt, they were the people Xu Chu had mentioned who had eaten too much, meaning they would all be Xu Chu's next targets.

"Mayor Xu, doing this is against the overall situation and will inevitably cause some turmoil."

Chen Dashan's words were pointed, and his voice was already very cold.

"In extraordinary times, some necessary unrest is bound to occur."

Xu Chu retorted directly. Chen Dashan, upon hearing this, understood that Xu Chu was determined to take action against them. Since things had already come to this point, there was no point in him saying anything more.

He was silent.

With his silence, Wang Feng knew that Chen Dashan was once again at a disadvantage in this confrontation.

If we add the fact that he was transferred to the Discipline Inspection Commission, Chen Dashan has already suffered two hidden losses at Xu Chu's hands.

Only then will Chen Dashan and his men be able to launch their counterattack.

"Mayor Xu, then we'll do as you say. These two will be dismissed and investigated immediately. At the same time, we'll initiate an internal investigation to improve the law enforcement standards of the grassroots teams."

As Xiang Yuanwu spoke, he took a small step toward Xu Chu, a move that caused Chen Dashan and the others to slightly change their expressions.

Wang Feng also noticed that after Xiang Yuanwu only took a small step and then made no other move, he understood that Xiang Yuanwu was still hesitating.

Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.

Xiang Yuanwu was a cautious man. He and Tang Mingde had spent most of the day trying to win him over, but he hadn't agreed yet. This was just the beginning, so how could he possibly make a decision now?

"And those two?"

After announcing the results of the investigation into Qin Yue and the other person to Yuan Wu, he turned his attention to Lin Qiang and Lin Can.

"Well, let's leave these two to Wang Feng. What does Secretary Xiang think?"

Upon hearing that Xu Chu had actually handed over the authority to handle Lin Qiang and Lin Can to Wang Feng, not only Xiang Yuanwu, but also Chen Dashan and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Wang Feng is now representing the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Does this mean that Xu Chu wants to use Lin Qiang to create an opening?

They fixed their gazes on Wang Feng. Noticing the gazes of Chen Dashan and the others, it would be a lie to say that Wang Feng wasn't nervous.

These people are all powerful figures who can shake Rongzhou with a stomp of their feet. Any one of them could make him die without a burial place.

However, he also knew that Xu Chu did this to send a signal to everyone.

Wang Feng is his man. If you want to make a move, you'd better consider whether you're qualified.

"Mayor Xu, I..."

"Mayor Xu, this doesn't follow the proper procedures!"

Before Wang Feng could finish speaking, Mu Qingming gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

"Such a big thing has happened. It should first be handed over to our public security organs for investigation and evidence collection, and then to the procuratorial organs. If it is handed over directly to the discipline inspection commission, it may attract gossip."

"You're talking about yourself, aren't you? And those rumors didn't just come from you, did they?"

Xu Chu would still give Chen Dashan some face.

But if it were Mu Qingming, then there would be absolutely no need for that; the two are on completely different levels.

Mu Qingming's expression changed drastically, and he was about to explain when he heard Xu Chu speak again.

"As the director of the municipal public security bureau, if problems arise among your subordinates, don't you, as the director of the general bureau, also bear joint responsibility?"

Mu Qingming panicked.

They were visibly panicked.

"Secretary Xiang, I think your suggestion was excellent, but not only should the grassroots teams take action, but the leadership at higher levels should also be even more vigilant..."

"If you don't have enough manpower internally, Secretary Tian's team can also come and help you. The public security team represents the face of our municipal party committee and government, so we absolutely cannot make any more mistakes."

Wang Feng noticed that after Xu Chu finished speaking, Chen Dashan's expression grew increasingly grim, even showing a hint of anger.

He suddenly remembered Xu Chu's suggestion of a joint investigation, and it was likely that he would bring it up next.

as predicted--

Xu Chu's next words confirmed his guess.

"Secretary Chen, weren't you planning to conduct a joint investigation? I think there's no need to wait until Monday. Since everyone's here, why don't we vote on it now?"

Joint investigation?

Shock and disbelief flashed in everyone's eyes once again, and a sense of panic arose in their hearts.

"Then I'll leave the announcement to Mayor Xu. I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I'll head back now."

After saying that, Chen Dashan ignored the surprised looks from those around him and turned to leave.
