Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

Hong Zhan couldn't describe how he felt; his heart was sinking and he felt cold inside.

It was the armed police who subdued the rioters...

What does this tell us?

This indicates that the rioters were subdued by the armed police in his jurisdiction, right under his nose, in the target area that he had repeatedly ordered to be strictly guarded.

The police were responsible for following behind, picking up people, taking statements, and wrapping things up.

This means that in this sudden and major exam, he was in a worse situation than if he had submitted a blank paper, because someone else had answered the questions for him and even wrote someone else's name on the paper.

Bashi Public Security Bureau, 0 points.

It should be noted that the main responsible unit for this sudden accident is the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the person primarily responsible is its director.

The People's Armed Police are only a support force, not the main force.

The main force is the local police in Bashi.

In layman's terms, before the main damage dealers even arrived on the battlefield, the support had already wiped out the enemy team, secured a pentakill, and then pushed down the crystal.

When he reported, he could only report it like this: "With the support of the Armed Police Force, our bureau successfully handled a case..."

Instead of: "Our bureau successfully handled a case..."

The difference of just a few words carries enormous weight for a leader.

One is a support player carrying the team, the other is a main carry. Can they be the same?

This is a collective dereliction of duty by the entire city's public security system, because they were too slow.

The last chance to make amends is gone, damn it.

I felt terrible, wanted to cry, and then, I was filled with overwhelming anger.

He wasn't blaming the armed police for coming; they were right next door, and responding to the alarm immediately was their normal duty.

Not only is it correct, it deserves praise.

He was blaming the local police station.

According to the requirements of the city's patrol and control mechanism, the response time should be 1 minute for core areas, 3 minutes for key areas, and 5 minutes for general areas.

The provincial party committee's family compound is the core area within the core, and according to regulations, they should arrive at the scene within 1-3 minutes.

The local police station, however, took almost five minutes to arrive.

In those five minutes, the security guards had already fought several rounds with the men in black. Then the armed police emergency response team arrived, and the rioters were subdued.

He was in the command center the whole time, so of course he knew why the police were taking so long to arrive.

Because they received information that the other side consisted of dozens of armed thugs.

Upon receiving the report, the patrol officers instinctively slowed down their journey to the scene.

What can two or three policemen do when they rush in front of dozens of armed thugs? They're just throwing their lives away.

A first-class merit is good, but being alive is better.

So they waited for the main force, for four or five police cars to arrive, and for the armored vehicles to be in place before they dared to rush in.

Hong Zhan understood that they were waiting for the main force because they were responsible for their own lives and for the mission.

The "waiting" of grassroots police officers is not due to personal cowardice, but rather the default "waiting for reinforcements" in the operating procedures.

However, from his position, Hong Zhan could not accept this reality. Whether the procedures were reasonable or not was a matter for those above to discuss; sitting in this chair, he could only see the results.

The result was...

The police arrived five minutes late, missing the best opportunity and losing their primary role in the operation, handing the credit to the armed police and a group of security guards.

security guard!

Even the security guards rushed out faster than them!

Of course, those in the provincial party committee's family compound were not ordinary security guards; they were all recently retired army soldiers, many of whom had performed exceptionally well in the military region's competitions.

But he was a security guard.

Hong Zhan took a deep breath and then exhaled gently.

There was nothing he could do now that things had come to this.

When something like this happens, it's certain that accountability measures will be initiated.

He has been a police officer for decades, and he can recite the accountability process with his eyes closed.

The minimum punishment is a warning or admonitory talk, the most likely outcome is a job transfer, and the most serious consequence is direct dereliction of duty leading to dismissal and investigation.

Of these possible outcomes, he could still be considered to have a breath left within the system in the first two cases, while the last one would mean he would be completely finished.

The cards laid out in front of him now didn't seem like he could draw either of the first two types.

He looked at the large screen in the command center; the situation was now completely under control.

The rioters were handcuffed one by one by the police officers and special police who arrived at the scene, and put into police cars.

The matter can be said to have come to an end.

But he knew that his real troubles were only just beginning.

The leaders of Ba City and the Municipal Bureau walked out of the command center and headed towards the conference room next door.

With something this big happening, a meeting is definitely in order.

At the meeting, Mayor Tang Lijun spoke in a serious tone:

"The problems exposed by this incident are not just the slow response of the police. The root cause is our insufficient investment in the security of key targets and our over-reliance on the police system."

"I suggest that next year's special fiscal allocation be used to strengthen the armed police force around the family compound and build a joint defense and control system between the military, police and civilians."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Hong Zhan understood the mayor's unspoken message.

It felt like a bucket of ice water was poured over my head and down to my toes, chilling me to the bone.

Other senior executives also remained silent.

The mayor's meaning was clear: abandon Hong Zhan, shift the blame onto him, and then, to prevent Hong Zhan from refusing to take the blame, use financial means to restrict him.

This move was subtle and unassuming, but extremely ruthless.

As long as Hong Zhan remains the director of the Public Security Bureau, the mayor's financial checks and balances will make the entire public security system feel the pinch.

Whom should I vent my anger on?

Of course, the root cause of all this lies with Director Hong Zhan.

Ultimately, if Hong Zhan didn't want to be gossiped about behind his back, the most dignified way was to voluntarily apply for a job transfer.

He was transferred to a place where he had little power and no opportunities to make money, where he could retire quietly.

A mayor who can become the mayor of Ba City and even slightly rival Lu Feng is no ordinary person.

Tang Lijun's words were also a veiled reference to Hong Zhan.

If you want to maintain a respectable image, just take the blame honestly, and I'll arrange a low-paying job for you so you can easily get paid without doing any work.

Because of how this matter has escalated, the provincial party committee will definitely hold the municipal government accountable first, not the municipal party committee.

Although Hong Zhan is the director of the Public Security Bureau, he also holds the position of deputy mayor, and is officially part of the municipal government.

Therefore, he is a good candidate to take the blame.

The logic is sound. Look, for such a big matter, we've already dealt with a deputy mayor who also serves as the police chief. Isn't that enough of a punishment? That's about right, isn't it?

With accountability coming down from above, this outcome is enough to satisfy the authorities.

Hong Zhan sat in his seat and glanced around.

Not a single leader present stood up to say a word in his defense.

These faces are all so familiar, but at this moment, each face is like a piece of cold glass, making it impossible to see their expressions or their thoughts.

Political life is probably something like this.

A wave crashed over it without a sound, and it sank to the bottom silently.

"He was there, and he did his best."

This statement, which he imagined could defend himself, ultimately remained buried deep inside.

He sighed inwardly, knowing that his political career had come to an end.
