Chapter 2114

Most of the Standing Committee members did not yet know what had happened at the Economic Development Zone. They couldn't help but feel a bit surprised: What was going on? What had made this "smiling tiger" bare his fangs?

Yuan Yifu said, "Since everyone is here, I will say a few words first. You may not know why this emergency Standing Committee meeting was called today, so I will tell you: a shocking incident occurred today in our county's Economic Development Zone!"

The Economic Development Zone? Wasn't that Su Xinghui's territory? Shocking? What could be so serious? Everyone couldn't help but steal a glance at Su Xinghui, but Su Xinghui's expression remained as usual, without the slightest sign of anything unusual.

Yuan Yifu said, "Today, Comrade Pang Xingjie, the head of the Provincial Party Committee investigation team, went to the Economic Development Zone to conduct an investigation and was conducting a normal inquiry of Jiang Zhiqing, the Director of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee. As a result, he was besieged by the staff of the Economic Development Zone, and later even arrested by Tang Chaoxin, the station chief of the Economic Development Zone police station!"

The meeting venue was in an uproar. This was something that could never have happened in previous Standing Committee meetings. These members were used to big storms and waves; no event would usually make them this stunned, but Yuan Yifu's words were simply too outrageous.

Who was Pang Xingjie? He was not only the head of the investigation team but also the secretary to Provincial Party Committee Secretary Jiang Fangpin. He could be considered one of the most powerful people in Jiangyou Province. Although his power came from Jiang Fangpin, that didn't stop him from being a rank above any official he met.

Such a person had actually been besieged in a small Economic Development Zone? And even arrested? This matter was truly shocking.

Gao Tongguang frowned and said, "Secretary, is such a thing really true? I recall Tang Chaoxin doesn't have that much nerve, does he?"

This matter concerned a station chief from their Public Security Bureau, so Gao Tongguang could not sit idly by; he had to ask.

Yuan Yifu said with a dark face, "Secretary Gao, do you think I would lie? I went to explain to Comrade Pang Xingjie just now, but he wouldn't see me at all. He said he wanted to report to Secretary Jiang and told me to go explain to Secretary Jiang. Do you think any of us Chongjin County Standing Committee members can stay out of this?"

The venue was in an uproar again. Asking them to explain to Provincial Party Committee Secretary Jiang Fangpin—who would dare? How would they explain?

Yuan Yifu's words made everyone present feel endangered. Having offended the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, indeed none of them could stay out of it, because this matter had happened in Chongjin County after all, and it was simply too serious—it was equivalent to directly slapping Jiang Fangpin in the face.
