Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Qi Tongwei gagged Chen Qiang, then put a blindfold on him and plugged his ears.

Qi Tongwei turned and went into the private room next door.

Song Yunhui, Gao Yuliang, and Li Dakang sipped their tea.

Qi Tongwei shoved his phone screen in front of Mayor Wang Julong.

"Mayor Wang, the practice of adopting godparents is quite prevalent in Lincheng. Could you help me take a look and see if this number looks familiar?"

Wang Julong leaned over and glanced at the number.

He knows this number very well.

He even took out his phone to check.

It was the mobile phone number of Zhao Qikun, the Party Secretary of Lincheng City!

The nickname is "godfather".

Wang Julong's eyes widened, then he looked at his phone again and thought about Chen Qiang next door.

He, a mayor, was unaware that the municipal party secretary, Zhao Qikun, was actually Chen Qiang's godfather.

The waters of Lincheng were deeper than he had imagined.

Bottomless.

It was so black it smelled terrible.

Upon learning of the situation, Song Yunhui's face darkened. "Director Qi, have Chen Qiang call his godfather and see if Zhao Qikun is coming?"

"Yes, Governor Song." Qi Tongwei turned and left.

Li Dakang wondered how Lincheng had become such a mess.

I originally wanted to show Song Yunhui the good side of Lincheng.

The results of it?

The problems are numerous and it's so embarrassing.

The private room next door.

Qi Tongwei temporarily enabled Chen Qiang to speak and hear.

I dialed the number saved as "Godfather".

The phone is on.

Chen Qiang burst into tears and wailed.

"Godfather! Godfather, help me! I've been beaten up! They're trying to kill me!"

Lincheng People's Hospital.

Special care ward.

Four stern-faced bodyguards stood in the corridor, so tight that not even a fly could get in.

Lincheng Party Secretary Zhao Qikun lay half-reclined on the hospital bed with his head wrapped in gauze.

Sitting next to me was a woman in her forties who still retained her charm.

The woman was none other than Lin Yufen, Chen Changgang's wife and Chen Yankui's second daughter-in-law.

Lin Yufen was peeling an apple for Zhao Qikun with a small knife.

Hearing Chen Qiang's cries on the phone, Lin Yufen's hand trembled, and the blade almost cut her finger.

She dropped the apple, rushed to the bedside, grabbed Zhao Qikun's arm, and shook it frantically.

However, I cannot speak in this situation.

Zhao Qikun patted Lin Yufen's hand to comfort her.

He yelled into the phone, "Qiangzi, what are you crying for!"

Hold it in! Tell me, where is it?

Who dares to touch you in Lincheng!

"At...at Old Li's Restaurant. Godfather, they seem to know martial arts. The guy leading them looks like he trained at Shaolin Temple. They beat all six men my grandfather sent down. Godfather, please come save me!"

Chen Qiang's voice trembled like a leaf.

A fierce glint appeared in Zhao Qikun's eyes.

"Qiangzi, don't be afraid. In Lincheng, nobody can bully you. Even the King of Heaven himself would have to give way! I'm calling Jiang Zhentao, the police chief, right now, and he'll personally lead a team to get you out. I want to see who's got the guts!"

"Okay, godfather. Hurry up, I'm afraid I can't hold on much longer." Chen Qiang said as if he had grasped a lifeline.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yufen's eyes reddened.

She leaned into Zhao Qikun's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Qikun, you need to be careful too. Look at you, look what those scoundrels have done to you today. If anything happens to you, how will Qiangzi and I live?"

Zhao Qikun reached out and put his arm around Lin Yufen's waist, giving her voluptuous figure a quick pat.

"Yufen, the fact that you came to see me makes all my suffering worthwhile. Qiangzi is, after all, our son. Back then... I was so sorry. If I had known you were pregnant with my child, I would never have married that old hag!"

Lin Yufen sighed and drew circles on Zhao Qikun's chest with her finger.

"Qi Kun, that's all in the past. Chen Yankui and Chen Changgang were both very good to Qiangzi. The entire Chen family treated him like royalty."

Zhao Qikun snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain. "That's right! The Chen family owes me! If they treat Qiangzi even the slightest bit badly, I'll make him change his surname to Zhao tomorrow! Zhao Qiang, what a powerful name!"

Lin Yufen was startled and quickly reached out to cover Zhao Qikun's mouth.

She nervously glanced back at the tightly closed door.

"Qi Kun, keep your voice down. Be careful, walls have ears. If this gets out, we're both finished."

Zhao Qikun took Lin Yufen's hand and kissed it.

"Don't worry, Yufen. The people outside are all my trusted men; not even the King of Heaven could get in. You sit and eat your apple; I'll call Jiang Zhentao first. If he dares to touch my son, Zhao Qikun, he's asking for trouble."

Lin Yufen nodded and reached out to touch Zhao Qikun's slightly weathered face.

"Thank you, Qi Kun. Qiangzi is so lucky to have you as his godfather."

Lincheng City Public Security Bureau.

Director Jiang Zhentao was sitting in his office smoking.

Today, the municipal party committee secretary Zhao Qikun and Wang Julong were abducted. This is a major public security incident.

He might be the first to be punished as the police chief.

The phone rang.

Jiang Zhentao answered the phone, his back straightening instinctively.

"Secretary Zhao, please give your instructions."

"Zhentao, take your most elite men, fully armed, and go to Old Li's Restaurant. Bring my godson Chen Qiang back unharmed. Whoever they are, arrest them if they try to stop you!"

"Understood! Secretary Zhao, I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Jiang Zhentao felt that as long as Zhao Qilun trusted him, there was no problem.

Jiang Zhentao hung up the phone and strode out of the office.

After half an hour.

Four police cars with flashing lights sped through the rain and stopped in front of Old Li's restaurant.

Jiang Zhentao, holding an umbrella, walked at the front.

More than twenty fully armed police officers followed behind, and they kicked open the restaurant door menacingly.

It was very quiet; the sound of raindrops outside was clearly audible.

Jiang Zhentao looked around and shouted, "Chen Qiang! Where are you! Who bullied you? Uncle Jiang will stand up for you!"

Soon, Jiang Zhentao spotted Chen Qiang looking disheveled in the private room.

Chen Qiang

A person walked out from the side and blocked his way.

Wang Julong stared at Jiang Zhentao with a dark expression.

"Jiang Zhentao, what did you just call him? Chen Qiang? What kind of nephew is he to you?"

Jiang Zhentao was stunned for a moment before he recognized the person in front of him.

Lincheng Mayor Wang Julong.

Jiang Zhentao's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.

Wang Julong was a pushover in Lincheng, constantly suppressed by Zhao Qikun.

Jiang Zhentao shook his head with a forced smile.

"Mayor Wang, it's a misunderstanding. We've completely misunderstood. I was ordered by Secretary Zhao to take Chen Qiang back for investigation. Mayor Wang, what brings you to this shabby little restaurant so late?"

Wang Julong sneered and pointed at Jiang Zhentao's nose.

"It's none of your business whether I eat here or not! Let me tell you, Jiang Zhentao, Chen Qiang is suspected of organizing a criminal gang of a criminal nature, and you can't take him away today!"

Jiang Zhentao's face darkened, and he placed his hand on the holster at his waist.

"Mayor Wang, please don't make things difficult for me. Secretary Zhao has given a direct order that I must take him away. If you continue to obstruct me, don't blame me for handling this strictly according to the law."

The voice just fell.

The curtain was lifted.

Four people walked out slowly.

Leading the way was Song Yunhui, the governor of Handong Province.

On the left is Gao Yuliang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province.

On the right is Qi Tongwei, Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

Behind him is Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City.

Song Yunhui stared at Jiang Zhentao. "Jiang Zhentao, you've got quite the airs of an official. Are you the Public Security Bureau Chief of Lincheng City, or just Zhao Qikun's personal bodyguard?"

Jiang Zhentao's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

Even if he were blind, he could still recognize these people as well-known bigwigs in the province.

My back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"Governor Song... Governor Song. It's a misunderstanding... It's all a misunderstanding. I didn't know that you leaders were here on an incognito visit..." Jiang Zhentao stammered, his voice trembling.

Song Yunhui ignored him completely and turned to look at Qi Tongwei.

"Director Qi, Jiang Zhentao is also part of the public security system, so he falls under your jurisdiction. What do you suggest we do about this?"
