Chapter 2126
Su Xinghui asked, "Then who do you think took Director Pang away?"
Gao Tongguang pondered for a long time and said, "I estimate that those who took him away are either my peers, or people from the Discipline Inspection Commission, or that kind of very professional kidnapper. But why they took Director Pang away, I am still a bit puzzled."
Su Xinghui said, "How are you puzzled?"
Gao Tongguang said, "If they were my peers or people from the Discipline Inspection Commission, they could directly state their identities; they don't need to be so mysterious. If they were kidnappers, why would they kidnap Director Pang? Now in Chongjin County, there are many rich people. How much money can kidnapping Director Pang get?"
Speaking of this, Gao Tongguang said again, "If they were my peers or people from the Discipline Inspection Commission, if they took Director Pang away, then Director Pang must have committed a big case. But there is no news about this in the province, so this is also unlikely, unless those who took him away were people from the central government."
Speaking of this, he shook his head and laughed at himself: "This is too impossible. Director Pang's level is not enough for the central government to take action."
Su Xinghui said, "Then according to what you said, these possibilities you mentioned are all unlikely?"
Gao Tongguang said, "Yes, unless it is Director Pang's enemy."
Gao Tongguang pretended to say this sentence casually. He secretly used the corner of his eyes to look at Su Xinghui's reaction. However, Su Xinghui's reaction was very natural: "Director Pang's enemy? If his enemy went to such great lengths to run to Chongjin County to kidnap him, then he offended others not lightly."
With Gao Tongguang's professional quality, he didn't see anything unnatural in Su Xinghui's expression. He muttered in his heart, "Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with Su Xinghui?"
Regarding today's incident, Gao Tongguang had always suspected that it was related to Su Xinghui. This matter happened too coincidentally. It happened just when Su Xinghui was being investigated. And during this period, Pang Xingjie was jumping up and down in Chongjin County, wanting to fix Su Xinghui's black materials. Su Xinghui had the motive to deal with him.
Of course, Gao Tongguang also had some doubts. With Su Xinghui's political wisdom, he shouldn't do such a stupid thing, right? What's the use of kidnapping Pang Xingjie? Venting anger? Would Su Xinghui do such a useless thing?
And doing so, the flaws were too big. Not to mention anything else, could those few people who kidnapped Pang Xingjie be trusted? If they were caught and confessed Su Xinghui, then Su Xinghui would be finished.
Actually, this time the Provincial Party Committee's investigation into Su Xinghui, Gao Tongguang didn't feel it could do anything to Su Xinghui. He only felt that the accusation of Su Xinghui soliciting a bribe of 100,000 was ridiculous. Su Xinghui had friends like Mi Xiuyuan and Xu Xiaoguang; would he solicit a bribe of 100,000 from a broken factory manager?
Therefore, Gao Tongguang's attitude toward Su Xinghui had never changed. He firmly believed that Su Xinghui would still be their County Magistrate.
However, in the past few days, Su Xinghui seemed to have become a different person, making foolish moves one after another. First, he let Jiang Zhiqing and Tang Chaoxin arrest Pang Xingjie once, and now, Pang Xingjie had gone missing again. Except for Su Xinghui, Gao Tongguang couldn't think of a second person who would have the motive to kidnap Pang Xingjie.
Therefore, Gao Tongguang probed Su Xinghui today, but the result of the probe was fruitless. He couldn't see any unnatural expression on Su Xinghui, which made him very puzzled.
He laughed and said, "With Director Pang's status and identity, it's not strange to have a few enemies. However, kidnapping cadres is truly too rare."
Su Xinghui said, "Mainly because Director Pang's personality is too irritable and domineering. It's too normal for him to offend people."
Pang Xingjie's domineering, Gao Tongguang naturally also knew. He had also seen Pang Xingjie's performance in Chongjin County these days. However, he didn't dare to say this. Perhaps only Su Xinghui dared to say it.
Gao Tongguang not only didn't dare to say it, but he was even a bit afraid to discuss this topic with Su Xinghui again. He changed the subject and said, "County Magistrate, I'm a bit hungry, and you should be hungry too. I'll go out and buy some night snacks. I estimate we will have to stay here for a night."
Su Xinghui nodded and agreed happily. Gao Tongguang strode out.
