EFB Chapter 85 Family Members
Chapter 85 Family Members
Public opinion is escalating.
The internet is flooded with propaganda about Xia Qing, the head of the organization department of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, who is a "naked official" (an official whose family members have emigrated abroad).
Recently, even evidence has emerged.
There are records of Xia Qing transferring money to foreign accounts.
There are records of Xia Qing purchasing real estate overseas.
There are records of Xia Qing's family members traveling abroad and staying there for extended periods on multiple occasions.
In short, they are all kinds of things, and the pictures speak for themselves.
Although to industry insiders or the cadres of Handong, it is obvious at a glance that the evidence is artificially created, full of loopholes, and is simply nonsense.
But the target of the information war is never someone who knows the stuff.
As long as it evokes a strong emotion, it's considered a success.
The online abuse was overwhelming.
Although the Cyberspace Administration and the Public Security Bureau are doing their best to control public opinion, a very small number of cases have still managed to slip through the net and spread.
It will immediately cause fluctuations.
In response, Xia Qing was already sitting in Sha Ruijin's office, explaining the situation to the top leader.
Sha Ruijin had long seen through the malicious slander, and he unconditionally believed in Xia Qing's stance, offering words of comfort:
"Minister Xia, I have absolute faith in your loyalty to the Party and the people. The current situation can basically be characterized as a counterattack launched by the foreign forces you are investigating. Please go ahead and do your job. The Hantong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government are your strongest support."
Xia Qing felt much more at ease knowing that Sha Ruijin trusted her unconditionally.
There's no need to spend time explaining internally; we can focus on targeting Du Bozhong and foreign forces.
Sitting to the side, Tian Guofu also smiled and said:
"I also assure Secretary Sha in the name of the Discipline Inspection Commission that Minister Xia's family situation is perfectly fine, and he could never be a 'naked official' (official whose family members have emigrated abroad). The content on the internet is a despicable smear, and our Discipline Inspection Commission will investigate the relevant personnel thoroughly."
Xia Qing knew that these two people in front of her were extremely clear-headed and firm on matters of principle, so she wouldn't be hindered when pushing forward with her work.
Xia Qing said sincerely:
"Thank you, Secretary Sha and Comrade Guofu, for your understanding and trust. I deeply agree with what you said. The more frantically they smear me, the more it proves that we have their lifeline in our grasp. Currently, our investigation team has identified the Bozhong Real Estate Agency in Handong and is conducting a secret investigation into their funds and dealings. I believe that we will find evidence against them in the next few days."
Sha Ruijin nodded and said:
"Minister Xia's work ability is something we should all learn from! Go ahead and do your job with confidence. If you need any support, just let us know!"
Tian Guofu picked up the conversation and said:
"Minister Xia, that's true, but Secretary Sha and I are indeed curious. In which field is your spouse pursuing advanced studies? We can't find any information at all, and it's really getting on our nerves."
Xia Qing was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.
Unexpectedly, Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu were so curious about their wives.
That makes sense.
Having only names for spouses and children, without mentioning their workplaces or schools, certainly makes the top leader and the secretary of the discipline inspection commission feel somewhat uncertain.
Since the two of them expressed trust in this matter of public opinion and did not cause trouble for themselves.
It wouldn't hurt to reveal a little bit to satisfy their curiosity.
After thinking it over, Xia Qing said seriously:
"Secretary Sha, Comrade Guofu. It was indeed my oversight in this matter that I failed to report to the organization in advance, which inadvertently gave the enemy an opportunity to create public opinion. Now, I would like to report to you both on my wife's situation."
Xia Qing scrolled through her phone, handed it to Sha Ruijin's desk, and smiled:
"This is it."
Sha Ruijin stepped forward, and Tian Guofu also moved his chair forward.
The image on the phone was clearly an office nameplate.
"Jiang Yao, Deputy Director of the Seventh Bureau of the Ministry of State Security."
The air in the office stood still for five seconds.
Sha Ruijin stroked his chin with his left hand, leaned back in his chair, and unconsciously stomped his shoes on the floor to distance himself from the phone, no longer glancing at it.
Tian Guofu was completely shocked. He didn't know whether to look or not, so he could only give Xia Qing an awkward smile:
"Minister Xia, perhaps we should put it away for now?"
Xia Qing happily took back her phone and said:
"That's the situation. For the sake of confidentiality, detailed information will not be shown on my cadre appointment and removal approval form. In addition, I have also reported to the provincial party secretary and the secretary of the discipline inspection commission that both of my children are studying at Beijing No. 101 Middle School. If any comrades raise any questions in the future, please help me explain."
"No problem, no problem," Tian Guofu readily agreed, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand.
Sha Ruijin nodded quickly.
"Then I'll go and get back to work." Xia Qing smiled, stood up, nodded to the two of them, and left the office.
After Xia Qing closed the door.
Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu finally relaxed.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Immersed in the awe, the experience is unforgettable.
His wife works in the Ministry of State Security, at the deputy director-general level.
Their family background is definitely not low.
After all, Zhong Xiaoai from the Zhong family was only a deputy director-level official.
Meanwhile, his children attend Taipei 101 Middle School.
If you don't have impeccable political credentials, you can forget about getting in.
After learning about Xia Qing's family situation, and then thinking about Xia Qing herself, as well as the enormous Xia family.
Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu felt a strange lingering fear.
It took Sha Ruijin a long time to finally utter a sentence. He glared at Tian Guofu and said:
"Comrade Guofu! I warned you long ago not to be so curious! Look, Comrade Xia Qing's wife holds such an important position. We must both be a shield for Comrade Xia Qing and prevent him from being further harmed by public opinion!"
Tian Guofu could only mutter to himself:
Didn't you want to know what Xia Qing's wife does...?
……
Public Security Bureau, Command Center.
Qi Tongwei is urgently deploying police forces to conduct a secret investigation of Bozhong Real Estate Agency.
There must be something wrong with this company, but we haven't found any concrete evidence yet.
time does not wait.
We can't let Minister Xia suffer the brunt of the attack while we ourselves achieve nothing.
How can we explain that to Minister Xia?
Qi Tongwei had actually heard of Du Bozhong.
He was Zhao Ruilong's business partner in his early years, and also the person who directly helped bring Teacher Gao and himself onto the Zhao family's ship.
Later, Du Bozhong and Zhao Ruilong had a falling out, and I never had any direct contact with Du Bozhong.
But Du Bozhong must have some dirt on him.
Regarding Teacher Gao and his own vulnerabilities.
As instructed by Teacher Gao last time, as long as we find evidence that Bozhong Intermediary Company is involved with foreign forces, we can then convict Du Bozhong.
He would then have the opportunity to shift all the blame for his involvement with the Zhao family, as well as the incriminating evidence they had in their hands, onto Du Bozhong.
Complete the thorough cutting.
But even now, Qi Tongwei still feels constrained.
It's almost certain that Du Bozhong colluded with foreign forces; all that's missing is direct evidence.
Therefore, Zhao Ruilong and Du Bozhong have a close relationship and often do business abroad.
Could he be colluding with foreign forces?
If Zhao Ruilong colludes with foreign forces, then the life of former Party Secretary Zhao Lichun will be completely ruined.
The Zhao family is finished too.
But Qi Tongwei didn't know what to do.
Because, the Shanshui Group is also associated with the Zhao family.
Although he had sold all his shares in the Shanshui Group, that group represented the entire fortune of the woman he loved most.
Qi Tongwei didn't want to ruin her life.
Meanwhile, the woman Gao loved most also had intricate connections with Du, Zhao, and the Shanshui Group.
Qi Tongwei felt a sense of bewilderment. He hoped to close the case as soon as possible and find evidence to convict Du Bozhong.
So that Xia Qing could achieve good results, and he could also gain merit.
Finally, the severing of ties with the Zhao family was completed.
But Qi Tongwei was also afraid that while uncovering evidence of Du Bozhong's crimes, they might also discover the incriminating evidence that he and Teacher Gao had left with Du Bozhong and Zhao Ruilong.
They were even more afraid that investigating the agency would anger Du Bozhong and cause him to reveal some shocking information.
At that point, you won't even have time to react!
Just then, a figure walked up to Qi Tongwei...
