In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

By the time Chen Jingcheng left home for the county government, it was already 7:30 in the morning.

The democratic life meeting was not moved up in time; it was still scheduled for 9:00 AM as previously planned.

However, although the county committee and county government compound appeared calm today, everyone was actually preoccupied, and many knew what was going to happen today.

A democratic life meeting is about to be held.

Li Feitu's good days in Linchuan County will completely disappear starting from this meeting.

Secretary Zhao Mingyuan will regain all power in Linchuan County.

Everything before seemed like a joke, or perhaps a dream.

People from the county party committee office and the county government office all arrived at their offices early today, and the county-level leaders also all arrived early for lunch at the small canteen.

A sense of impending storm filled the Linchuan County Party Committee and County Government compound with a unique oppressive atmosphere.

What was even more depressing was that at 7:30, Wang Liye, deputy secretary of the county discipline inspection commission, personally led several staff members into the county party committee compound. Instead of entering the office building, they stood inside the compound and waited.

For a public official or a party member, the Discipline Inspection Commission is probably the last place they want to face.

Because once an official is taken away by the disciplinary committee for investigation, it means that the official has a problem, which means that his future may be ruined, and he may even lose his personal freedom.

Many corrupt officials would collapse in fear when faced with disciplinary committee staff.

Today, the staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission were not there for a meeting, but dressed formally and carrying work badges, they stood in front of the county party committee office building waiting, which gave every party member and cadre who saw them a chill down their spine.

At this moment, in Li Feitu's office, Director Gao Wentao frowned, looking at Wang Liye and the others downstairs, and said in a deep voice, "County Chief, is Secretary Zhao in such a hurry?"

"Besides, wouldn't doing this be too conspicuous?"

"I'm here, and they haven't come looking for me, so they must have come to take Director Chen away."

"But if we want to take Director Chen away, do we really need so many people standing in the courtyard, making sure everyone is watching?"

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

Li Feitu and Gao Wentao already knew about Wang Liye's situation yesterday, as did Chen Jingcheng. Secretary Zhao Mingyuan personally summoned Wang Liye, the deputy secretary of the county discipline inspection commission, to his office for a talk yesterday.

Who else could it be targeting but Gao Wentao or Chen Jingcheng?

At that time, Li Feitu and his team analyzed that the most likely scenario was that they would take Chen Jingcheng away directly!

Now, this is no longer a possibility, but a fact that is about to happen.

Li Feitu's face was extremely gloomy at this moment.

Just before the democratic life meeting was about to begin, the deputy secretary of the discipline inspection commission led a group of people to stand in the county party committee compound, waiting to take Chen Jingcheng away in front of everyone.

This is a provocation against Li Feitu, and a declaration to all the leading cadres in the county. It tells everyone not to have any illusions about Li Feitu. Li Feitu's confidant is about to be taken away in public. Li Feitu won't have many days left.

Li Feitu was furious, but what angered him even more was not the provocation itself, but the time and place these people chose.

The impact this would have on Chen Jingcheng was something Li Feitu could not have predicted.

Although Chen Jingcheng has always appeared mature and capable, he is still just a young man in his early twenties. Doing this will cause him serious psychological trauma.

Taking a deep breath, Li Feitu slammed his fist heavily against the windowsill.

"Damn it, do you have to go to such extremes when you do things?"

"They knew perfectly well that I wouldn't hide, and Chen Jingcheng certainly wouldn't hide either, yet instead of going to the office, or doing it in private, or even directly calling me to the disciplinary committee for questioning, they just stood in the courtyard in broad daylight during working hours, waiting for me. What are they trying to do? It's utterly outrageous!"

"No, today, even if they want to take Chen Jingcheng away, I will let them know my stance, let them know what they are doing!"

As he spoke, Li Feitu pushed open the office door and was about to rush out.

Upon seeing this, Gao Wentao immediately stepped forward and stopped Li Feitu.

"County Magistrate, what can you do if you go out now? Now that they're here, they won't listen to you."

"Secretary Zhao Mingyuan and the others are watching from upstairs. All the leaders are watching. They're just waiting for you to lose your composure."

"County Magistrate, it's precisely at times like these that we need to remain calm; otherwise, we'll only give them an opportunity to exploit us!"

Gao Wentao's words made sense, but he overlooked one thing: whether Li Feitu tolerated it or not, the outcome was already predetermined.

If that's the case, what else is there to endure?

Moreover, he didn't know just how important Chen Jingcheng was to Li Feitu.

Even if Chen Jingcheng is to be taken away, Li Feitu must stand firmly by Chen Jingcheng's side at this time, giving him confidence and allowing him to release some of the psychological pressure. Otherwise, if this causes any serious psychological consequences for Chen Jingcheng, the result will be unpredictable.

This is Chen Min'en's son!

The eldest son and grandson of the Chen family of Yanjing!

Chen Min'en will soon arrive in Qingjiang Province. At that time, Li Zhiyuan or Li Zhixing will find a way to meet Chen Min'en and tell him about Chen Jingcheng as soon as possible.

Li Feitu must protect Chen Jingcheng's safety during this period. Even if Chen Jingcheng is inevitably taken away, he must make everyone understand that people can be taken away, but all procedures must be compliant and legal. If anyone has any ulterior motives, even though Li Feitu has fallen from power, the Li family, no matter how much it falls, still has enough power to retaliate!

Looking at Gao Wentao, Li Feitu said coldly, "I am very calm!"

"I won't stop them from taking Chen Jingcheng away, but since they're waiting for me in the county committee compound in front of so many people, as the county magistrate, do they have the right to stop my men?"

"They want to see me make a fool of myself? Fine, then let them have their say."

"Those idiots will find out what they've been doing one day!"

After saying that, Li Feitu walked downstairs. Everyone he encountered along the way avoided him. Everyone could feel that Li Feitu was like a volcano about to erupt.

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng had already arrived at the entrance of the county committee on his bicycle.

He had not yet met Wang Liye and the others, and he had no idea what he was about to face.

However, the moment Chen Jingcheng approached the county committee compound, he saw many people standing and discussing in various places, and he also saw many people standing in front of the windows upstairs.

The next second, Chen Jingcheng saw Wang Liye, the deputy secretary of the county discipline inspection commission, and his entourage.

He also saw Wang Liye and the others walk towards him the moment they saw him.

At that moment, Chen Jingcheng understood that these people were after him!
