442: Chapter 442 Serious Handling, No One Let Off the hook

The leaders of Ningjiang County arrived very quickly!

Although the traffic conditions from the county seat to this location were good, with a smooth asphalt road leading directly there, it still took over twenty minutes.

In just over ten minutes, the county leaders arrived. There were fully seven or eight vehicles, a large group of people, including a police car.

Secretary Guo Yubo was panicking!

Qin Chuan now held high prestige in Dongjiang City; which leader wouldn't be afraid? He hurried over immediately and, from a distance, called out, "Qin Chuan, since you have arrived in our Ningjiang County, why didn't you notify us in advance so I could bring the comrades to welcome you?"

Qin Chuan gave a cold snort and ignored him. His gaze swept over the group, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan!"

Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan was terrified, cold sweat streaming down his face. His legs felt a bit weak as he approached, "Qin Chuan, I am Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan."

Qin Chuan gave him a stern look and announced on the spot, "You are dismissed from your post. Furthermore, where are the comrades from the Public Security Bureau? Open a case to investigate this matter, and let the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission intervene."

Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan was stunned.

Judging by the looks of it, he was going to face criminal charges.

"Qin Chuan, you can't do this. Everything I did was for the sake of work..."

Qin Chuan waved his hand to interrupt, "What a fine excuse, 'for the sake of work.' You have no masses in your heart, no sense of awe for the common people. What use is there in keeping a person like you!"

Upon hearing this, Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan collapsed to the ground. He knew he was finished.

Qin Chuan did not spare another glance at Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan. With a total of four lives lost, it was impossible for him to escape a firing squad. He turned his gaze to Secretary Guo Yubo.

"Secretary Guo Yubo, such a major incident has occurred in Ningjiang County; human life is at stake! You did not give it enough attention, and your response speed was too slow. The Municipal Party Committee is extremely dissatisfied."

Secretary Guo Yubo almost broke into a cold sweat and quickly said, "Qin Chuan is right. We humbly accept the criticism. Please rest assured, we will thoroughly investigate this matter and handle it strictly. No matter who is involved, we will not show any leniency."

Qin Chuan simply held an on-site office meeting and issued a series of instructions.

Bursts of enthusiastic applause rang out from time to time. Hearing that Qin Chuan of the Municipal Party Committee had arrived, many villagers came to watch. Upon hearing what Qin Chuan said, the applause was continuous.

By the end, many villagers started shouting.

"Qin Chuan, mighty!"

"Qin Chuan, well done!"

"Qin Chuan, long live!"

It was already past six o'clock, evening time, and it would be dark in a little while.

Wang Jun approached with a look of gratitude, "Qin Chuan, everyone should eat here. There is plenty of food."

Qin Chuan waved his hand, "We won't eat. We should be leaving. If you have any issues in the future, you can call my phone directly or come to the Municipal Party Committee to find me."

After saying this, Qin Chuan got into his car and left, and the others followed suit.

Watching the cars gradually drive away, many villagers thought to themselves that Qin Chuan was truly a good secretary.

The next morning, Qin Chuan specially convened a Standing Committee meeting.

Besides announcing that two academicians had joined the chip research and development team, the main topic was related to the incident of people being beaten to death in Ningjiang County.

"Everyone, it is truly heartbreaking that such a thing has happened. An elderly person in their sixties or seventies was actually beaten to death by our government staff..."

With a look of heartache, he briefly recounted the incident, then changed the subject. Qin Chuan said with a stern face, "Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang, I personally instructed you yesterday to represent the Municipal Party Committee to express condolences to the family of the deceased. How did you handle it?"

Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang's face flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, and then she became a little angry.

In front of so many people, he actually didn't give me any face!

But she dared not show it, so she could only hide this anger in her heart. Putting on a smiling face, she retorted, "Qin Chuan, I called Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan of Ningjiang County immediately, requesting that he represent me to offer condolences first..."

Before she could finish, Qin Chuan interrupted, "Do not continue to explain. Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang, you treated this matter like a child's game. Petition work is one of the areas you are responsible for. Since such a major incident occurred, I will propose to the Provincial Party Committee that you be disciplined!"

Without waiting for Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang to say anything, Qin Chuan said in a clear voice, "Comrades, do you know how Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan offered condolences? He couldn't even be bothered to go to Shawan Village himself; he had his secretary take a few township leaders there to threaten and warn the family of the deceased..."

In front of everyone, he briefly described the situation from yesterday.

Immediately, the quiet conference room became noisy.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

"This is outrageous! This is absolute nonsense!"

"This Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan is too lawless, treating human life like a child's game!"

"Qin Chuan is right. Such officials who have no sense of awe for the common people must be severely punished!"

After about two or three minutes, when everyone had finished discussing, Qin Chuan raised his hand and pressed down gently. The noisy conference room quickly quieted down.

"Comrades, since such a major incident has occurred, the Municipal Party Committee cannot sit idly by. The Municipal Party Committee investigation team entered Ningjiang County overnight yesterday. My intention is to hold Vice County Magistrate Gu Fuan and the others legally responsible. Execute those who should be executed, and sentence those who should be sentenced!"

Qin Chuan stated his series of opinions in the conference room. Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang wanted to object several times, but seeing that the situation was a bit off and almost all the Standing Committee members expressed support, she wisely kept silent, though she was very unhappy in her heart.

After the meeting ended, the relevant departments immediately executed the resolutions of the meeting, including those in Ningjiang County.

Not long after the meeting adjourned, Qin Chuan was in his office reviewing several documents placed on his large desk when Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong knocked on the door and entered.

"Leader, just a moment ago, Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang went to the provincial capital."

Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback, and then he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

This Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang is too outrageous. For such a big matter as going to the provincial capital, she didn't even communicate with or ask for leave from me, the top leader. She has no sense of organization.

Generally speaking, if members of the leadership team want to leave Dongjiang City, they basically have to inform the top leader in advance, which reflects sufficient respect for the top leader.

Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang was able to become the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, a vice-departmental level cadre; does she not understand these things? She certainly does. Intentionally not asking Qin Chuan for leave was a demonstration, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Qin Chuan said, "Pay attention to when she returns. At the next leadership meeting, I will specifically emphasize discipline."

Not asking for leave and just leaving whenever she wants? That won't do.

At the next meeting, in front of the leadership team members, I will have a good talk about this, give you a warning, and take you down a peg. Qin Chuan thought this in his heart.

Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang arrived in the provincial capital and immediately went to find Executive Vice Governor Huang Lize.

Seeing that it was Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang who knocked and entered, Executive Vice Governor Huang Lize said with some surprise, "Why are you here?"

After entering, she closed the office door. Deputy Secretary Zhao Fenfang's eyes turned red, her acting skills on point, and she immediately began to cry and complain.
