Chapter 1392

If he could earn merit in the "Wu Chuanzong Case," it would greatly benefit his future career.

However, Nie Chengfeng's idea of "getting a share" soon came to nothing.

For the person coveting this "Great Merit" was not just him, Nie Chengfeng.

Vice Factory Director Xue Gang and Director Fang arrived suddenly at the Security Department with people, bearing orders from superior leaders, and forcefully declared that they would take full control of the interrogation of Wu Chuanzong and others, with no one else allowed to intervene.

Among these "others" were Cao Cao Weiguo and Li Huaide, the number-one factory director.

Li Huaide's anger rose in his heart, but as an old hand, he knew he could not act recklessly; after all, this surnamed Xue had a background and carried orders from superior leaders.

But to let go of the fat meat already at his mouth, Li Huaide could not bear it.

Li Huaide himself did not want to charge into battle, so he signaled Cao Cao Weiguo with his eyes.

At Li Huaide's signal, Cao Cao Weiguo spoke with agitated emotion: "Factory Director Xue, Director Fang, I am the one who caught these people, and we have already interrogated them to extract a great deal of important information. If you do not let us participate in the interrogation, is it because you think our abilities are insufficient, or because you think we are in the way?"

Xue Gang smiled and said: "Comrade Cao Weiguo, you must have a sense of the big picture. It is true that you caught these people, but having Director Fang and me take full responsibility for the interrogation work is the instruction of superior leaders. I cannot simply go against the leaders' orders. I know you hate these scum and long to personally send them to the execution ground. Rest assured, we shoulder the trust of the organization and the leaders, will not let a single bad person escape, and guarantee to dig out all the crimes of these people, let them face the people's judgment, and make them receive the punishment they deserve. You have worked hard during this period; yesterday you even engaged in a perilous and bitter struggle. The leaders not letting you participate in the interrogation is not a lack of trust in you, but concern for your health, fearing you might overwork yourself. You must understand the leaders' good intentions. Factory Director Li, don't you agree?"

Li Huaide suppressed his anger, turned to look at Cao Cao Weiguo, and comforted him: "Cao Weiguo, obey the leaders' arrangement. Leaders have their own considerations. We subordinates should just obey orders. Since the leaders have assigned Vice Factory Director Xue and Director Fang to take charge of the following work, we should do a good job in logistics and give our full support."

Cao Cao Weiguo, with a grim face, said: "I will listen to the leaders and obey the organization's arrangement."

After leaving the Security Department, Li Huaide flew into a rage like a mad dog whose food had been snatched: "Bastard! Wang Ba! Offspring born without an anus! This is too damn bullying! Surnamed Xue! Just you wait; if I don't crush you to death, I will take your surname from now on!"

Cao Cao Weiguo, sharing the same hatred, said: "Xue Gang is blatantly stealing credit. Leader, make a decision; with just one word from you, I will deal with him tonight."

Hearing Cao Cao Weiguo's words, Li Huaide felt much better. Although he also wanted to deal with surnamed Xue immediately, he was not a reckless fool like Seeing Seeing Shazhu and could not let momentary anger cloud his judgment. Suppressing his unwillingness and anger in his heart, he sighed with a listless expression: "Sigh! Forget it! Forget it! A gentleman's revenge is never too late. I also did not expect surnamed Xue's background to be so hard; he could even persuade superior leaders. I underestimated him and was careless; I truly underestimated this surnamed Xue. Cao Weiguo, do not be too agitated. Such incidents of being cut off are too common in officialdom. It is normal to be bullied without a backing. Let us consider this a lesson we learned together. This surnamed Xue is not simple. Let us endure for now. When the time comes, I will make him pay back double."

Cao Cao Weiguo pretended to be indignant and said: "Leader, I do not have your great tolerance. I am holding back fire in my heart. Yesterday we were almost stabbed by those guys. This was an achievement made at the risk of our lives, yet the credit that was in our hands was snatched away by others. I am not willing."

Li Huaide pulled Cao Cao Weiguo and spoke in a low voice: "Cao Weiguo! Listen to your older brother's advice. A true man must be able to bend and stretch. Besides, these people were caught by us, and the confessions were extracted by us. Surnamed Xue cannot steal these merits. Moreover, those guys like Wu Chuanzong have very tight lips; they cannot extract anything from them for the time being. We can just take this opportunity to solidify the credit in our hands. You and I will act separately and quickly arrest the scum exposed by Liu Zi, Guang Tou, and others. As for those ill-gotten gains, we will do it like this..."

Cao Cao Weiguo nodded heavily: "I will listen to you, Leader. You are my leader; I will do whatever you tell me to do."

Li Huaide felt gratified in his old heart: "Good, good, good! Cao Weiguo! Brother puts his words here: as long as Brother has a mouthful of meat, you will have a mouthful of soup. We will advance hand in hand, move together, and eat and drink the best."

The two discussed for a while, then each took their trusted subordinates to launch operations.

Last night, Li Huaide had already ordered his trusted subordinates to raid the residences of Wu Chuanzong's mistresses, illegitimate children, and sworn brothers, making a huge profit. That is why he was willing to give the "small fish and shrimp" exposed by Liu Zi and Guang Tou to Cao Cao Weiguo, giving this junior brother a little sweetness so that in the future he would charge into battle for him and take down that bastard surnamed Xue.
