41: Chapter 41 Xu Jianming was dismissed from his post on the spot.

Police Chief Xu Jianming smiled with disdain.

He wasn't the least bit flustered. Qin Chuan had offended Wang Jun, which was like poking a hornet's nest; he could just wait to get punished.

He deliberately delayed for a while. Normally, even if he walked, it would only take about five minutes from the Police Station to the Township Government compound, but he dragged it out for a full twenty or thirty minutes before heading over.

Upon entering the Township Government compound, he was slightly surprised to see several vehicles from the County Bureau parked there. He paused for a moment, wondering what was going on.

Walking up to the second floor of the office building, Director Hu Qibin was already waiting there.

"Police Chief Xu Jianming, why did you just arrive? The leaders have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Heh heh, I was delayed by a small matter," Police Chief Xu Jianming said, making up a random excuse.

Director Hu Qibin didn't dwell on it and waved his hand, saying, "Then hurry and follow me to the conference room. The leaders are all waiting for you."

Walking into the conference room, Police Chief Xu Jianming was stunned again.

There were so many people.

Almost all the leaders of Dahe Township were present. In addition, many people from the County Bureau had come; the Bureau Chief and the head of the Criminal Police Brigade were both there.

What was going on...

Police Chief Xu Jianming felt a vague sense of unease; he had a bad feeling about this.

Seeing that Police Chief Xu Jianming had finally arrived, Director Luo Bing kept a stern face and asked, "Police Chief Xu Jianming, what is going on with you?"

Facing his direct superior, the County Bureau Chief, Police Chief Xu Jianming felt a bit afraid and quickly explained, "Director Luo, I was delayed by some matters. Otherwise, I would have come over much earlier..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted.

Damn it, who wants to hear you explain why you were late? What I want to ask is why you released Wang Jun!

"Police Chief Xu Jianming, answer honestly. Tell me, why did you release Wang Jun without authorization?"

Knowing he couldn't bluff his way out of this, Police Chief Xu Jianming had no choice but to say, "Director Luo, it wasn't me releasing him without authorization. It was Wang Jun's lawyer who came over and completed the relevant procedures..."

He was interrupted again before he could finish. Director Luo Bing said sternly, "Police Chief Xu Jianming, I don't want to hear your sophistry anymore. On behalf of the Bureau Party Committee, I am dismissing you from your post on the spot and demanding that you honestly confess everything."

Without waiting for Police Chief Xu Jianming to say anything, Director Luo Bing waved his hand. "Take him away, lock him up, and interrogate him thoroughly!"

Just a moment ago, before Police Chief Xu Jianming arrived, Qin Chuan and several other township leaders had talked with the people from the County Bureau for a long time. In addition to discussing Wang Jun's issues, they had also discussed Police Chief Xu Jianming's issues.

After hearing it all, Director Luo Bing and the others were shocked.

Their problems were actually so serious!

In the past, none of these problems had been exposed because Township Head Liu Qiang and others had helped cover them up, and Director Luo Bing hadn't paid attention to these matters. Therefore, most people didn't know that the problems had reached such a serious level.

Ma Zhengnan even stated that Wang Jun ran rampant in Dahe Township. The coal mine kept dozens of security guards; to put it nicely, they were security guards, but in reality, they were private thugs, henchmen, and the like.

Last month, they beat a farmer into serious injury. The cause was very simple: Wang Jun was driving his Range Rover past a villager's house and ran over a chicken. The villager asked for fifty yuan in compensation, but not only did Wang Jun refuse to pay, he even claimed the villager's chicken had dirtied his car.

What was even more outrageous was that he made one phone call to the coal mine, summoned twenty or thirty thugs, smashed the villager's home to pieces, and beat the man into serious injury.

Township Head Liu Qiang and Police Chief Xu Jianming clearly favored Wang Jun, and Police Chief Xu Jianming even threatened the villager's family. In the end, the matter was left unsettled, and the villager's family had to swallow their grievances after being beaten.

The situation was so serious.

Director Luo Bing asked for Qin Chuan's opinion.

Qin Chuan suggested dismissing Police Chief Xu Jianming on the spot and thoroughly investigating all his issues.

Thus, the scene just now occurred. Without waiting for Police Chief Xu Jianming to argue, Director Luo Bing dismissed him, locked him up, and planned to investigate his issues in depth.

Why did Director Luo Bing immediately follow Qin Chuan's suggestion as soon as he proposed it?

Because before coming to Dahe Township, he had received consecutive phone calls from the County Party Secretary, the County Magistrate, and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, all demanding that this matter be handled strictly, severely, and quickly.

With the top two leaders calling him personally, Director Luo Bing wasn't stupid; he realized the seriousness of the situation. Therefore, whatever Qin Chuan said, went.

After Police Chief Xu Jianming was taken away, Director Luo Bing asked, "Secretary Qin, what should we do next?"

Qin Chuan said, "First, arrest Wang Jun. Additionally, conduct an in-depth investigation into his issues, and also investigate the Jiucailing Coal Mine for organized crime and violence."

"Very well, everything will be done according to Secretary Qin's suggestion!"

Consequently, the people from the County Bureau moved quickly. A total of three police cars arrived at the Jiucailing Coal Mine. Including the people from the Dahe Township Police Station, over twenty police officers arrived at the coal mine, along with a dozen members of the Police Station's joint defense team. Together, they quickly took control of the various leaders under Wang Jun and investigated the coal mine's involvement in organized crime and violence.

Another team immediately headed to Dongzhou City to arrest Wang Jun...

...

As one of Wang Jun's associates, Township Head Liu Qiang also realized that things were getting a bit serious.

The County Bureau had actually sent so many people, and Police Chief Xu Jianming had been dismissed from his post. This was completely different from previous situations; it could be said that this had never happened before.

Township Head Liu Qiang had been closely monitoring the development of the situation. Seeing the police go to the coal mine, he hid in his office and made a phone call to tip off Wang Jun.

At this time, Wang Jun was in Dongzhou City, reporting what had happened to his backer, Young Master Fu, who was the son of Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen, a member of the Standing Committee.

After listening, Young Master Fu said indifferently, "Wang Jun, you were a bit impulsive. You actually stormed into the office of the Dahe Township Secretary to smash things up and openly threatened to kill him."

Wang Jun said, "Young Master Fu, I was just so angry at him. This little bastard, he talked nicely to my face, but turned around and reported me to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, causing me to lose five hundred thousand for nothing. Tell me, isn't that infuriating?"

Young Master Fu nodded slightly. "Hmm, it's not a big problem. I'll handle it. Next time, be calmer. Don't always go around talking about fighting and killing. This is a society ruled by law; if it can be solved by civilized means, absolutely do not use violence."

"Young Master Fu is right, it won't happen next time."

After chatting for a while, Wang Jun didn't dare to disturb his master too much, so he got up to take his leave and returned to his villa in Dongzhou City.

However...

Less than an hour or two after returning to the villa, a team of police officers arrived, and the lead officer directly showed him an arrest warrant.

They didn't allow Wang Jun any chance to resist. They waved their hands, took him away, put handcuffs on him, shoved him into a police car, and drove off with the sirens wailing.

When he was first arrested, Wang Jun was still very arrogant and kept clamoring.

After being locked up in the Sanjiang County Public Security Bureau for a night and interrogated in turns throughout the night, he gradually realized that the situation seemed a bit wrong.

Logically speaking, the Sanjiang County Public Security Bureau wouldn't dare treat him like this. Besides, it had been so long, why hadn't Young Master Fu shown up?

How could this happen?

This isn't right!
