The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 288 Political Commissar Zhang Feng's Attitude

Therefore, if Qin Chuan insists on dealing with Wang Qiang, he will indirectly offend that leader of the Municipal Bureau.

Although Deng Yongdong ranked last among all the members of the municipal bureau's leadership team, and the work he was in charge of was not important, a deputy director is still a deputy director.

In certain important occasions and meetings, a single sentence from him can influence the career advancement of some individuals.

Is it really worth it for Qin Chuan to offend a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau for the sake of a station chief?

The third sentence.

Director Qin! Think twice!

Ha ha.

Qin Chuan glanced at Wang Guojun.

He grabbed a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the table, took one out, lit it, and instead of saying anything, he silently took two puffs.

Then Qin Chuan's gaze turned to Political Commissar Zhang Feng.

"Political Commissar, what do you think Deputy Director Wang meant by 'think it over'?"

Zhang Feng was taken aback.

He originally thought the blame had been shifted, but Qin Chuan's question brought him back to the forefront, effectively kicking the ball back into his hands.

As for what Wang Guojun meant by "Qin Ju thinks thrice" in his third sentence, isn't it obvious?

Isn't this a blatant threat?

That means Wang Qiang is, frankly speaking, one of Deng Yongdong's men. If you try to deal with Wang Qiang now, you'll offend Deng Yongdong, the deputy director of the Xing'an City Public Security Bureau.

Although the threat was phrased subtly, everyone present was no fool; they all understood it perfectly.

But could Zhang Feng say that? Of course not.

cough cough.

Zhang Feng coughed twice, and then, without being polite to Qin Chuan, he casually picked up the Zhonghua cigarettes in front of Qin Chuan.

After taking out a cigarette, Zhang Feng slightly raised his head to signal Qin Chuan to nod, and then put the cigarette in his mouth.

Zhang Feng has one peculiar characteristic: he never uses a lighter, whether it's a disposable lighter or an expensive metal lighter.

Pushing aside the matchbox that had been placed in front of him, Zhang Feng took out a match, struck it, lit it, and took two puffs of smoke.

"Director Qin, I think Director Wang's point is actually based on the current situation and reality."

Zhang Feng knew that Li Hu had already spoken, and Wang Guojun had also expressed his opinion. At this point, as the political commissar and the second-in-command of the High-tech Zone Branch, he should set the tone to a certain extent.

Although what he said might not necessarily count, and of course he knew that what he said definitely didn't count, he still wanted to demonstrate the power of a local strongman.

He wanted to use this incident to clearly tell Qin Chuan that Zhang Feng was on the side of reason, not personal connections.

"What Deputy Director Wang said is all true and factual. Of course, under normal circumstances, I think in cases like Wang Qiang's, it doesn't matter what Chen Xiao's motives are..."

Zhang Feng took another drag of his cigarette: "I think there's absolutely no problem with dealing with this severely."

Qin Chuan nodded upon hearing Zhang Feng's words.

Qin Chuan could tell whether Chen Xiao was half-heartedly complying or completely forced.

But what Qin Chuan wanted was the process, or Chen Xiao's attitude; those weren't what he wanted. He just used this as an excuse.

An inspection of the police station revealed that the police officers in the duty room were gambling, and the police station chief was chatting idly in the office with a female auxiliary police officer.

If Qin Chuan doesn't seize such a good opportunity and instead sets it on fire, would he still be Qin Chuan?

Qin Chuan knew that Wang Qiang was able to become the police station chief either because he had a relationship with the bureau chief or with some other leader, but did Qin Chuan care about the nature of the relationship?

He couldn't possibly have any connection with the municipal party secretary or the provincial governor, could he?

So if we only consider the relationship and background, Qin Chuan might be afraid of him and could just let him get away with it.

If Deputy Director Deng Yongdong was not satisfied, Qin Chuan wouldn't mind and would simply pull him away.

He did this kind of thing quite often, whether in Zhulin County or Ping'an County.

Leaving those two places didn't exactly make many people happy; some secretly called him the nemesis of officialdom, and that title wasn't undeserved.

To Qin Chuan's surprise, Zhang Feng's statement was consistent with his own.

To be honest, if we look at it from another angle, if Qin Chuan were in Zhang Feng's position now, no matter what, Qin Chuan would never stand on the same side as the new director.

This isn't about embarrassing the new leader or fighting them to the bitter end; it's a way to demonstrate one's strength and a necessary means.

The political commissar's role is to inform the bureau chief that his position is already filled.

But Zhang Feng's attitude...

There must be a "but" after this, right?

"but!"

Zhang Feng changed the subject, and Qin Chuan nodded, "That's more like it."

"However, things are different now; this period is a critical one."

Zhang Feng stubbed out the cigarette butt that was still one-third smoked and looked at Qin Chuan, as well as the other team members.

"Director Qin, comrades, the current reality is that we have the Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, and a family massacre is weighing on our shoulders!"

Zhang Feng has experienced too many things over the years.

He knew what could be stalled and what could sink the ship.
