676. Chapter 676: Deep Roots
Xu Kewang glanced at Chen Ci and nodded symbolically, and then walked to Ling Yun's side and said in a low voice:
"Brother Ling, I think it's better to forget it, it's best not to deal with this matter too drastically. The background of the statement in Jinghai City is also quite profound. β
Xu Kewang said as he glanced at Chen Ci, who was sitting not far from Lingyun.
Ling Yun frowned, glanced at Xu Kewang with some puzzlement, and said, "Deputy Director Xu, what do you mean by saying this now?" β
Xu Kewang glanced at the whispers of the other people in the conference hall, and he said in a low voice:
"Brother Lingyun, do you know that the relationship between Chen Ci's brother-in-law Li Hongmin and Vice Mayor Lu is not ordinary, he is Lu's descendant.
Vice Mayor Lu is a native of Jinghai City and has been operating here for more than ten years.
Lu Shan is a core figure in the city government, over the years, how many mayors and deputy mayors have come, they can't move him, their roots in Jinghai City are really too deep.
It is said that Lu Shan still has a lot of backers in the capital, including several municipal party secretaries who once wanted to move him, but then there was no way to do it.
Today, 60 or 70 percent of the heads of various departments in Jinghai City and the districts and counties under the jurisdiction of Jinghai City are descendants of Lu Shan. Ordinary people, it's hard to move their group.
So, Brother Lingyun, I still advise you not to poke this hornet's nest, just bear with this breath. β
Xu Kewang said as he wanted to spy on the change in the expression on Ling Yun's face at this moment.
After Ling Yun heard this, he was thinking in his heart, it can be seen that Xu Kewang is not really persuading me, think about it, but there is an element of instigation in it, in this way, it can basically be concluded that Xu Kewang is not from the Lushan camp.
Ling Yun tried hard to recall in his mind that he remembered that Liu Zhong, secretary of the municipal party committee, had told him about Xu Kewang's social relations in Jinghai City.
Five years ago, Xu Kewang's brother, Xu Lisheng, was a deputy mayor of Jinghai City because of a conflict with Lu Shan's candidacy for mayor.
In the end, Xu Lisheng and Lu Shan were unable to sit in the position of mayor, and they also formed a grudge.
In that mayoral election, on the surface, the two deputy mayors, Lu Shan and Xu Lisheng, failed.
Later, everyone noticed that after the arrival of the new mayor, Lu Shan was still in the position of deputy mayor, but Xu Lisheng was transferred to the CPPCC to hang up an idle post.
It turned out that the people promoted by Xu Lisheng have not improved much in the past few years.
Moreover, it has been rumored for a long time that Xu Kewang will be promoted to the director of the public security bureau that year, but later, there is no news.
Xu Kewang has been sitting in the position of deputy director for nearly six or seven years.
Referring to the campaign history at that end and analyzing Xu Kewang's current remarks, it can be thought that what he said should have two meanings, one is to hope that Ling Yun can further intensify the contradiction with Lu Shan through the matter of making a statement.
Because, Xu Kewang has already seen that if the development continues, the battle between Ling Yun and Lu Shan will be inevitable.
Another meaning is that if Ling Yun didn't have this ability, he Xu Kewang wouldn't follow and stir up this matter.
Otherwise, Lu Shan knew that he Xu Kewang was also involved in this matter, and he would definitely be listed in Ling Yun's camp, so it would be difficult for him, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, to sit firmly.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun cursed in his heart, you old fox, you are really cunning enough. He glanced at Xu Kewang, sneered and said:
"Deputy Director Xu, I hope you act impartially, our Ling Group's indictment for the statement will be sent to the court tomorrow morning, if you can't do this, I will immediately contact the Provincial Public Security Department directly!"
Xu Kewang glanced at Ling Yun, he knew very well in his heart that this was an excuse for Ling Yun to shirk in front of his statement.
So, Xu Kewang pretended to be helpless and walked in front of Chen Ci and said:
"Brother Chen, I really can't help it, I have no choice but to do it in this position, please understand.
If I don't carry out the mission, Chairman Ling will definitely use his connections in the Provincial Public Security Department.
At that time, it will be difficult for me to do it, Brother Chen, my brother's position is humble, there is really no way, you can't blame me for not being emotional. β
Chen Ci looked at Xu Kewang in front of him with a helpless look, and said coldly:
"I understand, don't be embarrassed, I'll go with you, I think, and then you'll get a call from your boss."
Xu Kewang nodded with a smile and said, "I understand, Brother Chen, thank you for your understanding, as long as I receive a call from the Provincial Public Security Department, I will send it back to you immediately." β
Chen Yu glanced contemptuously at the people in the conference hall, turned around and followed the two policemen out.
Ling Yun looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head and smiled, got up and accompanied Xu Kewang to the door.
Xu Kewang took two steps and suddenly stopped, glanced at the statement that was far away in front of him, and he said softly:
"Brother Ling, you are really competing with Li Hongmin this time, I don't know how there can be such a coincidence, you and the people around Director Li, everyone has fought each other.
It seems that this should be a catastrophe, Brother Lingyun, Li Hongmin and Lu Shan's gang are not simple, you take care of yourself. β
Ling Yun said with a smile: "Deputy Director Xu, I really bothered you, there are some things that I can't hide if I want to, and some people want to compete with me, so I can't help it, I have to accompany me to the end, and there is one more thing, I want to ask Deputy Director Xu, how is the investigation of the car accident case?" β
Xu Kewang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The investigation is still continuing." Brother Lingyun, do you have any clues? β
Ling Yun leaned close to Xu Kewang's ear and whispered:
"Deputy Director Xu, you can go to the Tianshui Entertainment Center to have a look, maybe there will be a harvest. However, don't be fooled by the lights inside, otherwise, once you get too deep, it will be troublesome! β
At this moment, Xu Kewang looked at the incomprehensible smile on Ling Yun's face, and he only felt a chill on his spine.
He nodded indifferently, squeezed out a smile on his face that was even uglier than crying, and said with some trembling:
"Brother Lingyun, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely find out as soon as possible! Moreover, the Provincial Public Security Department is also very concerned about this matter, please rest assured, Brother Lingyun, I, Xu Kewang, will not be ambiguous in this matter. β
Ling Yun restrained his smile, patted Xu Kewang's shoulder, and said solemnly:
"Deputy Director Xu, I heard some rumors, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is about to leave his post, the position of the director of the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau should be coveted by many people, doesn't Deputy Director Xu have any thoughts about this?"
Xu Kewang's body trembled, he looked at Ling Yun's extremely serious appearance in surprise, shrugged his shoulders, smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother Ling, some things don't mean that you can do it no matter how hard you work, I never dared to think about this problem, I can work steadily in the position of this deputy director until I retire."
Ling Yun smiled mysteriously, and whispered in Xu Kewang's ear: "Do dreams always have to be wanted, in case one day they suddenly come true." β
After Ling Yun finished speaking, he looked at Xu Kewang and laughed.
Xu Kewang was stunned for a while, and an extremely happy smile slowly unfolded on his face.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and said:
"Okay, Brother Lingyun, borrow your auspicious words, I must think more according to your meaning, if your dream really comes true, I will definitely invite you to Yunyang Mansion to eat seafood."
After Xu Kewang finished speaking, he and Ling Yun looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, room 602 of the Xijiao Hotel in Jinghai City was full of smoke.
Vice Mayor Lu Shanzheng frowned, took two puffs of his cigarette, and said to Li Hongmin, who was sitting in front of him:
"What are you talking about, can this rich second generation of the Ling Group be so arrogant? Have you checked his social background? β
Li Hongmin said with a bitter face;
"We only know some of what he did in Jinjing City, and we heard that he had a fierce conflict with some gang organizations in Jinjing City.
As for circles like ours, I haven't heard of what kind of backers he has.
I heard from a few friends in Jinghai City that this kid used to be a soldier, but later, because he violated military discipline, he was imprisoned for a year and then changed jobs, and no other information about him was found.
In my opinion, Ling Yun is just an arrogant kid with some money in his hands, and he doesn't know how deep this water is in our provincial capital! β
Lu Shan listened to Li Hongmin's words and was silent.
He looked at the sunset outside the window, pondered for a while, spit out a thick cloud of smoke, and then turned around and asked, "Did you just say that the investment operation in Ruyi County failed?" β
Li Hongmin said in horror:
"Deputy Mayor Lu, it's all my fault, this matter is too reckless, I didn't expect this Ling Yun to be so ignorant and don't give face at all, and now, my brother-in-law has also been brought in by them, what can I do?"
Lu Shan stood up, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray fiercely, and said a little angrily:
"Hong Min, how can you be so naΓ―ve, you can also do these illegal things, you have to think of it, use this method to use the Ling family's funds!
Are you helping me, you're simply making trouble for me, at this critical time, this problem occurs, you say, what should I say about you! β
Li Hongmin said nervously with a bitter face: "Vice Mayor Lu, it's all my incompetence!" β
"Okay, it's over, don't say these things anymore, I know, you also want to help me, let's think of a way."
"What bad luck! This Lingyun is our nemesis, my son and Chen Ci have all been brought into it by this bastard, this project in Ruyi County has been ruined again, Deputy Mayor Lu, we must not stop here, we must take care of the Ling Group, this kid who does not know the height of the sky! β
Lu Shan frowned, lit another cigarette, and paced back and forth in the room.
About five minutes later, he said to Li Hongmin; "There is a big land auction project in Jinghai City next week, and I think I will give this project to the Ling Group."
Li Hongmin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Vice Mayor Lu, give a piece of fat to the Ling Group?" Are you confused, they have already greeted us, how can I explain to them? β
A sly smile appeared on Lu Shan's face, and he said to Li Hongmin:
"In this way, tomorrow you can make an appointment with Huang Yuanfa and several real estate developers in Jinghai City, invite them to have a meal, reveal my meaning to them, let them be patient, and tell them that this piece of fat will still be theirs sooner or later."
