Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

Liu Fusheng said this from the bottom of his heart.

Smuggling activities in Chaojiang area have become rampant, and the number of people engaged in smuggling is countless.

If all people are severely punished according to the law, the entire Chaojiang area's social level will probably fall into chaos.

Faced with this situation, all Liu Fusheng could do was to eradicate the main culprit and show appropriate leniency to others.

Gu Hongcheng was silent for a long time. This was a difficult choice for him.

Liu Fusheng lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "Mayor Gu, I have some understanding of you. As the patriarch of the Gu clan and the mayor of Chaojiang City, you are generally quite responsible. You have no intention of using connections to climb up the social ladder, nor have you chosen to go along with certain people. So, I came to you to give you a chance instead of taking direct action."

"Of course, if you miss this opportunity, I can tell you clearly that you will be on a path of no return."

Gu Hongcheng whispered, "Secretary Liu, can you give me some time to think about it?"

"No."

Liu Fusheng said decisively: "You don't have the time, and I don't have the patience."

Gu Hongcheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I choose to cooperate with Secretary Liu."

Liu Fusheng extended his hand and said, "Welcome Mayor Gu to join the team to rectify the social atmosphere in Chaojiang area. If I am not mistaken, Secretary Chen from Jiangtou City should have discussed with you how to obstruct Operation Thunder and report the situation to Deputy Secretary Tang from Yangcheng, right?"

Gu Hongcheng shook hands with Liu Fusheng with a sad face and said, "That's true. I didn't expect Secretary Liu to be able to guess such a thing. Since I have chosen to stand on Secretary Liu's side, I will never work with Secretary Chen to obstruct Operation Lei Ting again."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "No, I need Mayor Gu to continue doing this."

Gu Hongcheng smiled bitterly and said, "Does Secretary Liu still want me to be an undercover agent like last time?"

Liu Fusheng said: "That's right, I need you to report some situations to Deputy Secretary Tang."

Gu Hongcheng asked: "What's going on?"

Liu Fusheng said: "After you and Secretary Chen arrive in Yangcheng, contact Deputy Secretary Tang privately and tell him that the state's investigation into the arson case has not yet been completely concluded. Qin Guang from the Ministry of Public Security's special case team and a secret investigation team are still in Jiangtou City."

Gu Hongcheng's expression changed slightly. He had not expected things to develop like this.

After he figured out the whole story, he was shocked and said in astonishment: "Secretary Liu, the target of this secret investigation team is not the Chen family, right?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "That's right. Chen Minghao has been identified as the instigator of the arson case, and the Chen family and Chen Minghao have a close relationship. Qin Guang's investigation is of course aimed at the Chen family."

Gu Hongcheng felt a chill in his heart. If Tang Shaoying knew about this, he would definitely cut off his connection with Chen Zixing.

If Gu Hongcheng and Chen Zixing were of the same mind, he would definitely be implicated accordingly.

Chen Zixing is in great trouble this time. Even if Gu Hongcheng doesn't tell Tang Shaoying about this, Liu Fusheng will choose other ways to let Tang Shaoying know about it.

No matter what, Chen Zixing is definitely doomed.

After figuring this out, Gu Hongcheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

It turns out that being an opponent of Liu Fusheng is such a terrible thing. He is not qualified to sit at this card table at all.

Gu Hongcheng, the mayor of Chaojiang City, might be a big card on the table, but he can never be the hand that grabs the card.

After thinking it through, Gu Hongcheng stood up, bowed solemnly to Liu Fusheng and said, "Secretary Liu, thank you for your generosity. I was fickle before, completely blinded by greed and greed, and made the wrong choice. If I do something similar again in the future, I will be punished by both heaven and earth, and I will not die a good death!"

Liu Fusheng motioned him to sit down and talk: "Mayor Gu, I understand your feelings. After all, Chaojiang is where the Gu family lived. When it comes to your love for Chaojiang, you must be more than me. I think Mayor Gu would not want this city to be messed up by ambitious people, right?"

Gu Hongcheng nodded and said, "I fully support all decisions made by Secretary Liu. I used to be lucky, but now I finally figured it out."

……

Chen Zixing could never have dreamed that Gu Hongcheng, who had just discussed with him how to make things difficult for Liu Fusheng, would betray him in the blink of an eye.

The offensive and defensive alliance among the three cities of Chaojiang that he had planned was doomed to fail before it even began.

According to the original plan, Chen Zixing and Gu Hongcheng came to Yangcheng to report to Tang Shaoying.

After meeting Tang Shaoying, Chen Zixing immediately began to accuse Liu Fusheng of his actions, especially the fact that Liu Fusheng controlled the judicial and law enforcement systems in Chaojiang area.

"Secretary Tang, you must make the decision for us. Liu Fusheng is taking chicken feathers as a token of authority. This is really too much. Both law enforcement and judicial affairs should be independent of each other and supervised by party and government organs. Liu Fusheng openly treats the people's police as private soldiers and the procuratorate and courts as the courts of the old society!"

"His authoritarian behavior has seriously affected the economic and social stability of Chaojiang District. Next, he is going to launch the so-called Thunder Operation, which is completely to exclude dissidents and do whatever he wants. If Liu Fusheng is allowed to continue to do this, I am afraid that our Chaojiang District will never have peace!"

Tang Shaoying nodded. Liu Fusheng controlled the law enforcement and judicial systems, which allowed him to see a point from which to launch an attack.

Chen Zixing complained for a long time and finally felt a little tired. Just when he got up to go to the bathroom, Gu Hongcheng suddenly said, "Secretary Tang, I have a secret intelligence that I need to report to you alone."

Tang Shaoying frowned: "Mayor Gu, please speak."

Gu Hongcheng said: "I accidentally learned that the head of the special case team of the Ministry of Public Security, Qin Guang, has not left Jiangtou City. He is leading a small investigation team to dig deep into Chen Minghao's social connections in Jiangtou City."

Tang Shaoying said: "What is your judgment?"

Gu Hongcheng said: "I think the country wants to dig deeper to find more information behind the arson case."

Hearing this, Tang Shaoying's heart was slightly moved. He pondered and said, "Why did Mayor Gu choose to report this news to me alone when Secretary Chen was not around?"

Gu Hongcheng laughed dryly and said, "Nothing. I think this is a secret matter. The fewer people who know about it, the better. I am very loyal to Secretary Tang, so I wanted to tell you this news as soon as possible."

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "Mayor Gu is thoughtful. You did the right thing."

A moment later, footsteps were heard and Chen Zixing came back.

Tang Shaoying chatted with them for a while, and finally said: "I understand your meaning very well. You can go back first and let me think about it."
