Chapter 309 - 317 Achievements
Su Mengxin was very calm, and only the next morning did she make a call to Song Zhentao, the Municipal Party Secretary. She was not worried at all that Li Yifei would encounter any problems overnight. If he couldn’t even handle a situation like this, then he was not the man she, Su Mengxin, had chosen.
Song Zhentao was quite flattered, and even a little nervous, that Su Mengxin had come to his office in person. It was the first time Su Mengxin had visited his office, and she said she wanted to show him something and asked him to gather Mayor Qin Jiangyuan and Chief of Public Security Bureau Ning Changzheng as well.
The three were waiting in the office for Su Mengxin, all puzzled about what she might want to do. But one thing was clear to them: Whatever Su Mengxin wanted with them, it was surely a matter of great importance, or she wouldn’t have chosen such a setting.
When Su Mengxin arrived, the three major officials of the city welcomed her in. Su Mengxin simply smiled and said, "It seems Mile City really does produce talent."
Secretary Song’s heart skipped a beat, and he hastened to say, "Miss Su, I don’t know who has offended you, but we will handle it seriously."
"Secretary Song, you misunderstand," she said. "I’m talking about a female police officer from Mile City named Lin Qiong. She went to investigate a smuggling group on her own and obtained a significant amount of evidence. Here is the evidence. Take a look."
A shock went through Song Zhentao’s heart. He couldn’t possibly be unaware of the smuggling group in Mile City. Although he had not taken part, the group’s protection network was so vast, involving many leaders from different departments of Mile City, that even he, as Municipal Party Secretary, did not dare to act rashly.
Now that Su Mengxin had found out and even brought forth evidence, he knew full well that no matter how extensive the protective umbrella was, action had to be taken.
At this moment, Ning Changzheng was sweating profusely. This was within the scope of his responsibilities, and although he hadn’t directly taken benefits from Qian Wanjun, he didn’t refuse when those associated with Qian gave him advantages.
Su Mengxin was all too familiar with the ways of officialdom. She could read plenty from their expressions but did not expose them. It wasn’t about overthrowing the entire power structure of Mile City. With things said to this extent, it was enough. How deep they wanted to investigate and whether they sought scapegoats was none of her concern.
