Yan Lian had clearly felt it at this time: Zhou Jiqing's big tree was likely to collapse! And his own future and destiny are closely attached to this big tree. Once Zhou Jiqing falls, he will not only lose his support, but may even be crushed by the force he used when he collapsed!

And Zhou Jiqing just told Yan Lian that he wanted him to "protect himself", and lamented that his current situation is fish on the chopping board, and he can only be slaughtered by others, which is to clearly tell Yan Lian: He, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, is now at the end of his rope and is likely to collapse in a short time. Therefore, as my old subordinate, you must find your own way and find another backer for yourself. Otherwise, the consequences may be difficult to predict - from this point of view, Yan Lian feels that Zhou Jiqing is still a little conscientious. Unlike some fallen leaders, they have to pull a few subordinates to pad their backs when they are dying.

But now the question is: how do you go about finding a way for yourself? If the alliance formed by Zhou Jiqing, Wang Hai and Xie Hongda fails completely in this struggle, will he be attacked and retaliated against by Secretary Lu and Secretary Li? If they really want to settle accounts after the autumn, then the current members of the 5.16 task force, especially He Zhi, the team leader and deputy team leader, will definitely be the number one target of revenge for Secretary Lu and Secretary Li.

As soon as he thought of this consequence, Yan Lian felt shivering all over his body, and like Zhou Jiqing, a feeling of despair swelled in his heart.

However, after a short period of fright, Yan Lian calmed down again and began to think about what he should do now: the first step was to immediately convene a short meeting to announce Secretary Zhou's order, and immediately lift the censorship of Ye Ming, Chen Guitian, and Liang Tanghua and let them go home; The second step is to get in touch with Ye Ming as soon as possible, try to curry favor with him and please him, so that he doesn't feel disgusted with himself. The best situation is: take advantage of the time that Ye Ming is still here tonight, find ways to have more contact with him, talk more, and it is best to form friends with him. In this way, if Secretary Lu and Secretary Li want to punish themselves in the future, they can find Ye Ming to say a few good words to themselves, and maybe they will be able to save the day.

Of course, there is also a premise for Yan Lian to have such an idea. This premise is that so far, he has not personally interrogated Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, nor has he clashed with them head-on. Therefore, he thought that as long as he was sincere, and then told the task force to be tighter and not to reveal that the task force had made the decision to detain Ye Ming and arrest Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, then Ye Ming and the others would definitely not blame themselves very much - after all, this task force was established in accordance with the instructions of Zhou Jiqing, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, and he, the leader of the task force, was only acting on orders, and I believe that the three of them can also understand.

It turned out that this Yan Lian was old and sophisticated, although he closely followed Zhou Jiqing to frame Ye Ming and others, he thought about it in advance: If Zhou Jiqing and their side lost, what should he do? Therefore, at the beginning, he left himself a way back: first, he did not confront Ye Ming, Chen Guitian, Liang Tanghua and others, so as not to leave a bad impression in their minds, and he had no room to turn around in the future; Second, when making the decision to detain Ye Ming and arrest Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, he repeatedly stressed to everyone in the special case group: This is what the above means, and he, the leader of the group, acted as a last resort and acted on orders. In this way, in the future, even if Ye Ming and the others want to ask the people of the task force about the inside story of their detention, they will not be to blame him, the team leader; Third, when Lu Cheng, Deputy Director Wang and others, who were protecting Ye Ming, confronted each other, he also tried his best to let He Zhi charge in front, and he himself did not say anything too excessive, but just told Zhou Jiqing about it. Therefore, he was confident that he himself did not offend Lu Cheng and the others too much......

It is precisely because of the above conditions that Yan Lian feels that he is still qualified to make friends with Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and others, and there is still room for turning around.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Yan Lian immediately summoned the people of the task force for a short meeting, which only took ten minutes. At the meeting, he conveyed the latest instructions of Zhou Jiqing, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and decided to immediately lift the detention measures of Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, and announced that they could leave the place of detention from now on. After the announcement, he also ignored everyone's puzzled and stunned looks, so he waved his hand and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

He Zhi chased outside very unwillingly, and asked Yan Lian with a blushing face what was going on.

Yan Lian was now anxious to get rid of him and go to meet Ye Ming, so he said to him angrily: "Director He, how do I know what's going on?" I'm in the clouds now, too, and I haven't woken up yet. If you have any questions, just ask Secretary Zhou! You are also Secretary Zhou's old subordinate, and I believe he will tell you the truth. ”

He Zhi saw that his face was not good, so he didn't dare to ask again, so he hurriedly returned to his room and dialed Zhou Jiqing's number......

After Yan Lian waited for He Zhi to leave, he looked at his watch, it was almost midnight, and he hurriedly returned to his separate guest room, picked up the briefcase placed on the cabinet, and took out a Diamond Hibiscus King cigarette that Li Botang stuffed in the bag during dinner at night, opened the package and took out two boxes of cigarettes, stuffed them into another small handbag, and at the same time stuffed the mobile phone into the small bag, and then went out with the small bag, looked left and right in the corridor for a while, and saw that there were no members of the task force outside, so he trotted all the way with the bag, came to the door of room 501, where Ye Ming was detained.

At this time, the two clerks guarding the door were already drowsy, and were hanging their heads on two chairs to tell fortunes. When Yan Lian ran around a corner, he slowed down his pace, and solemnly walked to the door of room 501, and coughed loudly, waking up the two "fortune tellers".

The two clerks were startled when they saw Yan Lian suddenly appear in front of them, and quickly stood up and greeted Yan Lian with their sleepy eyes.

Yan Lian waved his hand to them and said, "Go back to your own room and sleep, you don't have to guard here." ”

The two clerks were overjoyed when they heard that there was no need to keep vigil, and they quickly thanked them, and hurried to their rooms.

Yan Lian knocked on the door of room 501 and walked in, and saw Ye Ming sleeping soundly on the bed on the left, while the other clerk who was guarding the room was also sleeping soundly on the bed on the right. Both of them were snoring, one after another, as if they were playing some kind of music together.

Seeing Ye Ming sleeping so sweetly, Yan Lian also had to admire this kid's determination: when he was having dinner, He Zhi had already talked to Ye Ming and threatened him that he would be detained tomorrow. At that time, Ye Ming just sneered, as if he didn't take this matter to heart. At that time, Yan Lian thought that Ye Ming was pretending to be calm, but now seeing him sleeping calmly like this, he knew that he really didn't take He Zhi's threat seriously!
