Chapter 562: Harmonious Field City Discussion

After I finished speaking, Secretary Qin immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I'll go notify Tian Shi at the meeting venue right away. Have him come see you."

"Okay, thank you so much, Secretary Qin." I said.

After hanging up the phone, I waited for Secretary Qin's notice.

I must see Tian Shi as quickly as possible to discuss the matter of Cui Chengshan with him.

About the time it takes to smoke a cigarette,

my phone rang; I saw it was Secretary Qin calling,

I hurriedly answered,

"Hello Secretary Qin, what did Tian Shi say?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, Tian Shi has already left the meeting room early; he's waiting for you in Small Meeting Room No. 6. After you enter the office building, go directly up to the third floor; there are signs at the door."

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Qin." I said and then hung up.

I walked into the Zaocheng Office Building; this office building was also newly built, and it is a landmark of Xin Cheng.

Its design resembles a taishi chair.

It backs onto Gui Shan, faces Fengming Hu, and is the best spot in all of Xin Cheng.

But this office building is too tall and too luxurious; I always feel it is too far removed from ordinary people like us.

Ordinary people get nervous as soon as they come to this place.

Security checks inside the building are very strict,

identification documents must be registered.

I don't know whether this is a phenomenon unique to society,

office buildings are built so luxuriously,

they certainly need many people to protect them.

This shows a problem: sometimes the people inside the office building have been detached from the ordinary masses for too long.

After registering, I went straight up to the third floor.

On the third floor, I looked at the signs and saw the doorplate for Meeting Room No. 6.

I then knocked on the door.

The door opened; it was Secretary Qin.

Seeing me, he hurriedly let me into the meeting room.

Tian Shi was sitting on the sofa smoking.

"Jianqiang, come sit; what's so urgent?" Tian Shi asked.

"Tian Shi, this matter is very important. I must see you immediately to ask for your instructions." I said.

As soon as I finished speaking, Secretary Qin naturally closed the door and left the meeting room.

Only the two of us, me and Tian Shi, remained in the room.

Tian Shi took out a cigarette,

"Is this about the Cui family? Have you gotten any leads?" Tian Shi asked.

I nodded,

"Tian Shi, regarding this matter, I already have some leads." I said.

"So quickly, what did you do to Cui Rulin?" Tian Shi asked.

"I didn't do anything to Cui Rulin. He's just a retired old man; what could I do to him?" I said, then took Tian Shi's cigarette.

Then I sat down beside Tian Shi.

Tian Shi then asked: "What about the Cui family—how did you handle them?"

"Tian Shi, listen as I explain slowly,

this Cui Rulin has already retired; we shouldn't target him. I am going after Cui Chengshan."

"Cui Chengshan." Tian Shi said softly.

"Yes, that's him. He is Cui Rulin's son. He is one of the most important figures in the Cui family. Think about it: the purpose of the Cui family's troublemaking isn't just to get Cui Chengshan promoted, is it?"

"If we target Cui Chengshan,

and bring him down, the Cui family would have no reason to cause trouble." I took a puff of smoke.

"That makes sense. Yes, that's their goal—once Cui Chengshan is taken down, the Cui family will obediently fall in line. How about it, Cui Chengshan—what have you gained?" Tian Shi asked.

"I specifically came to report to you, Tian Shi: this Cui Chengshan in Xue County not only takes bribes, but also openly keeps a mistress.

The impact is extremely bad." I said.

"Jianqiang, this matter needs evidence; we can't just guess or rely on rumors.

I have already sent people to investigate Cui Chengshan, and they found nothing." Tian Shi said.

I thought to myself, can your investigators be as effective as me?

The people you send just go through the motions at work, and even the Cui family already knows about it.

I smiled,

"Tian Shi, without solid evidence, I wouldn't dare come to report to you."

"What evidence have you found?" Tian Shi asked.

"Look, this is a bribery record written by Cui Chengshan's mistress; the names, places, and amounts are all written in detail." I said, then handed a notebook to Tian Shi.

Tian Shi took it and examined it carefully,

paused for a moment,

"This evidence is too singular."

"Besides, there is a video of him sleeping with that woman." I said, then pulled out my phone and showed Tian Shi the video of Cui Chengshan sleeping with that woman.

Tian Shi smoked while looking, not speaking.

Two men can't just keep looking at this thing.

Otherwise it would be very awkward.

I then took out another phone,

"This contains the chat log between Cui Chengshan and that woman. This is her phone." I said, then opened WeChat.

Tian Shi examined it carefully.

"Not bad, this investigation is clear. Cui Chengshan brat is currently holding a meeting in the city; we can arrest him now."

"Tian Shi, that woman is also in our custody; send her to the city as well." I said.

"Good, send her over. Human evidence is also important. Cui Chengshan is finished." Tian Shi said happily.

Then he gathered these things up.

He picked up his own phone,

He called to have Secretary Qin come in.

After Secretary Qin entered, Tian Shi quietly arranged things with her.

Secretary Qin kept nodding. After arranging, Tian Shi said to me: "Jianqiang, hand that woman over to Secretary Qin."

I said: "Okay, I'll contact someone to send her over."

After saying that, I took out my phone and found Ruan Wei's number,

"Ruan Wei, take that woman to the office building in Xin Cheng."

Someone will meet you at the door. After you deliver the woman, go wait for me at the Zaocheng Grand Hotel.

"Okay, Boss Zhao, I'll send her over now." Ruan Wei said over the phone.

After hanging up,

I said to Secretary Qin: "Secretary Qin, they'll bring her to the office building soon. Arrange someone to receive her."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao." Secretary Qin said and hurried out.

After Secretary Qin left, Tian Shi laughed happily,

"Jianqiang, you've done me a big favor. As long as we catch Cui Chengshan and find evidence of his crime, the Cui family will be completely silenced."

The people I arranged, without question, are unreliable.

"Tian Shi, what should we do next?" I asked Tian Shi.

"What else can we do? First arrest Cui Chengshan, then follow the vine to melon—wipe out the Cui family members one by one."

"Otherwise, it's hard to quell my hatred." Tian Shi said angrily.

It seems Tian Shi hates the Cui family. Yeah, his own orders weren't listened to, and people even defied them—how could Tian Shi bear that?

I took a puff of cigarette at this moment,

looking at Tian Shi,

then said: "Tian Shi, I understand your indignation, but I think this isn't a good idea."

As the saying goes, even a cornered rabbit will bite.

Let alone their whole Cui family nest.

Moreover, these people all work in the office building.

"What do I have to fear? Once we catch Cui Chengshan, these people will be headless chickens."

Don't worry, Jianqiang, you needn't worry.

I want to make Cui Rulin look bad.

Hmph, a local snake—I'll pull out his teeth.

"Tian Shi, can you hear my opinion?" I said urgently.

"Let's hear it, Jianqiang—now is not the time to smooth things over. Whether you know or are familiar with Cui Rulin, we can't be muddle-headed on major matters."

Moreover, Cui Chengshan is a genuine criminal.

Such a person must be severely punished.

Only by killing one to warn a hundred can we deter them.
