Chapter 3346: Trouble at the Urban Construction Committee Again

The intimidation package case was currently under interrogation. However, during the interrogation, the arrested general manager of the real estate development company, in order to earn merit, exposed Liu Zhaoyun, saying that Liu Zhaoyun had accepted huge bribes from their company and had given the green light to some of their company's irregular operations.

Not only their company, he said, but all the real estate development companies that were punished last time had also bribed Liu Zhaoyun.

Ren Weidong received this information and dared not be negligent. He immediately reported the situation to Gu Aimin, and Gu Aimin also felt that this was no small matter, so he immediately reported it to the Municipal Party Secretary, Zhao Yichen.

After Zhao Yichen heard Gu Aimin's report, he also felt the seriousness of the matter. He immediately summoned the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary, Tang Wenyao, and Su Xinghui, and briefed them on the situation.

For such matters, the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary was of course qualified to know. And although the Urban Construction Committee was not directly under Su Xinghui's supervision, but rather under the Municipal Party Committee's, the work supervised by the Urban Construction Committee also belonged to the economic field, so he could also provide guiding opinions on the work of the Urban Construction Committee. As a leader of the Urban Construction Committee, he was of course also qualified to know about this matter.

Of course, this was also because Tang Wenyao and Su Xinghui had a better relationship with Zhao Yichen, so they would have a small-scale meeting to brief each other on the situation and come up with a preliminary opinion before taking it to the Secretary's Office Meeting and the Standing Committee.

Su Xinghui was not surprised at all when he heard about this. He had actually long suspected that Liu Zhaoyun had problems. Liu Zhaoyun's attitude regarding the punishment of those few real estate development companies had always been ambiguous, and he also had close dealings with those people.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wenyao clearly expressed his view; he hoped to immediately take "Shuanggui" (double designation) measures against Liu Zhaoyun. Gu Aimin and Su Xinghui of course both seconded the motion, and Zhao Yichen also made up his mind.

The reason Zhao Yichen was so cautious was that Liu Zhaoyun was a distant relative of the Deputy Municipal Party Secretary, Liu Qirui. Although the two did not have much blood relation, they both came from the same village in the same township in the same county and were both of the Liu clan. It could be said that Liu Zhaoyun was promoted single-handedly by Liu Qirui.

Liu Zhaoyun was one generation lower than Liu Qirui, so regardless of the fact that their ages were not many years apart, he acknowledged Liu Qirui as his uncle. This matter was known to everyone in Baozhou.

Liu Zhaoyun serving as the Director of the Urban Construction Committee was also strongly recommended by Liu Qirui. However, Liu Zhaoyun could be considered to have some ability and was professionally trained in the construction industry, and his seniority was relatively high, so Zhao Yichen had agreed.

Now that Liu Zhaoyun had run into trouble, if not handled well, it might implicate Liu Qirui, so Zhao Yichen had to first cautiously have a small-scale meeting to let everyone unify their opinions.

After everyone's opinions were unified, Zhao Yichen convened a Secretary's Office Meeting. At the meeting, he brought out the general manager's confession and let the participants read it. The participants included Wei Ziming, Liu Qirui, Tang Wenyao, and Gu Aimin.

Wei Ziming and Liu Qirui were both shocked after reading the confession. This time, Gu Aimin had kept this matter very tight, and it was their first time seeing this confession. They both looked at Gu Aimin with displeasure at the time, obviously feeling very dissatisfied with his concealment.

However, Gu Aimin was very calm. Now that his own position was not very stable, he of course had to hold tight to Zhao Yichen's thigh. What was the use of him building a good relationship with Wei Ziming and Liu Qirui?

Wei Ziming was fine, but Liu Qirui's heart was churning with stormy waves. This was of course because of his relationship with Liu Zhaoyun. Although he and Liu Zhaoyun were not proper relatives, they were from the same village after all, so they naturally had a bond of kinship.

But now that Liu Zhaoyun had run into such a matter, Liu Qirui first thought about whether Zhao Yichen was trying to open fire on him, because Liu Qirui still stood on the opposite side of Zhao Yichen on certain issues. He was wondering if Zhao Yichen found him to be an obstacle.

However, he quickly dismissed such a thought. Although he sang a different tune from Zhao Yichen on some matters, generally speaking, those were normal differences in work. He had not deliberately targeted Zhao Yichen, so it shouldn't be enough to invite Zhao Yichen's murderous intent.

Moreover, the Provincial Party Committee did not want Baozhou City to become Zhao Yichen's one-man show, so no matter what, in the Baozhou Municipal Party Committee, there was still a need for a figure like Liu Qirui. Zhao Yichen was also very clear about this. Liu Qirui was not considered strong in Baozhou; if he were to get rid of Liu Qirui and someone even stronger came along, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

With Zhao Yichen's political wisdom, he shouldn't do such a thing, right?

Liu Qirui had stormy waves in his heart, but his face remained calm. He looked at the confession seriously, as if these few short pages of confession were a novel that could never be finished.

Wei Ziming was also calm, but in his heart, he was also thinking, what kind of trick is Zhao Yichen playing this time? Why did he aim his spearhead at Liu Qirui again? Could it be that he wants to implicate him?
