Reborn as a Noble's Son

At this moment, the secretary walked in from outside and whispered to him, “Secretary Qin, Commander Fang of the military district is here. He seems to be in a hurry, it looks like there’s an emergency.”

As soon as Fang Dabao entered the room and saw that both the Secretary and the Governor were present, he breathed a sigh of relief. He promptly said, “Secretary Qin, Governor Nie, a serious incident has occurred. I just received a call from Commander Zheng, who commands the Jingcheng City Military District troops stationed in Langzhou City. The only granddaughter of Old Dong has been detained in Zhuang City. Commander Zheng also told me that Dong Zhihua, Old Dong’s grandson, has urgently mobilized troops to rush over. I believe that our Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government must resolve this matter before the troops arrive, otherwise… the consequences could be unimaginable.”

Upon hearing Fang Dabao’s words, a bitter smile appeared on Qin Zhenmin’s face. He turned to Nie Guowei and asked, “Old Nie, tell me the truth, are there any other individuals involved?”

Nie Guowei nodded at this moment, “This time, the daughters from the Dong and Yang families did indeed go out with my children. Aside from them, there is also a woman involved, the owner of the Jingcheng Dynasty Club.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenmin dared not take it lightly. The Yang family alone is headache-inducing enough, but now, it also involves the Dong family, the Nie family, and a mysterious club owner. The situation has escalated considerably. Immediately after, Qin Zhenmin contemplated for a moment, then spoke to Fang Dabao and Nie Guowei, “Old Nie, Old Fang, you go ahead to the Zhuang City Public Security Bureau, Public Security Team, and take control of the situation. I’ll be right there.”

Nie Guowei sneered in his heart. ‘This Qin Zhenmin, thinking he’s got everything figured out, but making me take the lead. Would my children, the girls from the Dong and Yang families, still dare to make a fuss then? He’s trying to downplay this event. Nie Guowei is well aware of the relationship between Qin Zhenmin and the retired old Secretary, Du Qingshui. But he hadn’t expected things would get to this point.

Then, Nie Guowei said calmly, “Secretary Qin, I must decline. The incident involves my son and daughter. To maintain fairness and not to be accused of bullying, I request to recuse myself from this matter. I trust the organization will provide a fair evaluation and explanation.”

After Nie Guowei left, Fang Dabao immediately rushed to the Zhuang City Public Security Bureau. However, Qin Zhenmin called Du Qingshui and explained the entire situation. Qin Zhenmin then said in a low voice, “Old Secretary, I’m afraid that Lin Shan’s career is over.”

After a long silence, an old voice finally came through, “Secretary Qin, please do as you see fit. I’m sorry to put you in such a difficult position.”

A retired provincial party secretary is like a de-feathered phoenix. Even if dissatisfied, there is little that can be done. At this moment, Du Qingshui saw things very clearly. If he could only just keep him out of trouble, that would be good enough.

Qin Zhenmin nodded, sighed, and said, “Old Secretary, I’ll do my best.”

At the Zhuang City Public Security Bureau, Public Security Team, the area outside was already crowded with police. A glimmer of joy flashed across Captain Zhang’s face. He thought, ‘No matter what military background you have, in this local area, assaulting the police and kidnapping officers are serious crimes.’

At the same time, Captain Zhang shouted, “Listen up, you are already surrounded. Resistance is futile. The party’s policy and discipline is leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. I advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame us for not being polite.”

Half an hour passed, and the atmosphere became unbearably tense. Captain Zhang couldn’t bear it any longer and yelled to the people next to him, “Break in. If they resist, shoot them on the spot. Ensure the safety of young Kang.”

As soon as his words fell, a thunderous voice came from outside, “Shoot to kill? Who gave you such authority? You’re just the captain of the Public Security Team, do you have the right to decide the lives of others at will?”

Captain Zhang frowned when he heard this. He was about to lash out, but when he turned around, he saw Fang Dabao in military uniform walking in, followed by a group of armed soldiers. On Fang Dabao’s shoulder sparkled a dazzling general’s star.

He promptly saluted him, saying, “Hello Commander, welcome to inspect and guide our work. Report Commander, at present, we are negotiating with an extremely dangerous criminal and preparing to break in.”

Fang Dabao frowned, realizing he needed to take a stand at this time. He well understood the personality of that madman from the Dong family. The Commander of the mechanized infantry brigade, a full colonel. This was not someone he wanted to provoke. If his soldiers arrived, it would indeed escalate the situation.

Immediately, Fang Dabao waved his hand, instructing the military area’s security platoon, “Shi Guangrong, order your men to disarm these people immediately.”

Then, he glared at Captain Zhang, angrily saying, “Well, you’ve got guts. Using private punishments like that. Wait for your punishment.”

Immediately afterwards, several cars pulled up outside the courtyard. The foremost was Secretary Qin, in charge of the Yanbei Provincial Party Committee. Following him were Xu He, the Director of Yanbei Public Security Bureau, Wang Nansheng, Secretary of Zhuang City Municipal Committee, and Chu Huazhang, Deputy Secretary of Zhuang City Municipal Committee and the Mayor.

The heads of both the provincial and municipal committees were surprisingly all present. This spectacle stunned every police officer outside. This time, it seemed like they have stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Upon witnessing this spectacle, Captain Zhang felt as if his legs had turned to jelly. This time, he feared, he was done for. These people had powerful backgrounds.

While everyone was staring in shock, the roar of helicopters was heard from the skies above. The doors of the helicopters were opened, and ropes were lowered one after another. Fully armed soldiers descended from the four helicopters, like celestial soldiers from the heavens.

Qin and the rest of the party leaders might not be familiar with the origins of these soldiers, but Fang Dabao, as the Brigade Commander of Yanbei Military Sub-district and a Major General, was well aware. These soldiers were elite forces from a mechanized brigade within the military district.

There were forty soldiers in total. From the size of the force, it seems that there were four elite special forces teams. Each soldier wore combat attire, camouflage helmets, and was fully armed. Fang Dabao didn’t need to think twice to realize that their guns were real. Moreover, with authorization from their superiors, they wouldn’t hesitate to fire.

Things had escalated. However, the head of the Dong family was highly shrewd by asking for authorization from the Head of the Mechanized Brigade before making a move, he barely crossed the central government’s bottom line. And his rationale was plentiful.

The commanding officer was a Major. He had an expressionless face and a cold look in his eyes. After scanning the crowd, his eyes landed on Fang Dabao, who was also in uniform. He stepped forward, saluted, and said, “Sir, I am Major Liu Jian from the Jingcheng City Military District. I have been ordered to carry out a protection mission.”

Fang Dabao also formally returned the salute and said solemnly, “Major Liu, the target is already safe. Yanbei Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government leaders are all present. This is Secretary Qin of the Yanbei Provincial Committee. Major Liu, could you contact Colonel Dong?”

People like Liu Jian, who converged from afar, undoubtedly would have a way to connect with each other. After seeing Secretary Qin and the others who now stood before him, Major Liu nodded, walked back, and after a short while, he returned, saluted, and said, “Commander Fang, my superior asked me to convey his gratitude to you. He said that if there’s a chance, he would like to invite you for a drink. We’ll leave first.”

Having said that, Major Liu commanded in a deep voice, “Return to base.”

At this moment, Fang Dabao couldn’t help but smile wryly. The head of the Dong family was quite an eminent figure. Even at this moment, he didn’t forget to exert pressure. If the situation was handled well, it would soon be a dinner invitation. But if it was mishandled, it would probably not end with a meal.

With the presence of the Provincial party Secretary and the Director of the Public Security Bureau, Dong Wan and the others gradually began to come out. Seeing Nie Ziyu, Secretary Wang Nansheng and Mayor Chu Huazhang were both shocked. Oh my, it even involved Governor Nie’s daughter.

Once Nie Ziyu saw Secretary Qin and the others, she started crying, “Uncle Qin, hurry and save my brother. He was taken to another room by Yao Kang and others.”

Her words sent a shockwave through all the leaders of Zhuang City. Governor Nie’s daughter’s brother is none other than the son of Governor Nie. That’s Nie Zhenbang, a rising star in politics. At the age of 24, he is already a vice-ministerial level party and government leader with a limitless future ahead. If something happened to him, wouldn’t the Nie family be furious?

As soon as Nie Ziyu saw Nie Zhenbang in the room, she rushed towards him, sobbing, “Brother, are you okay?”

Nie Zhenbang simply smiled and replied calmly, “Ziyu, don’t worry. I’m okay.”

Then, Nie Zhenbang walked over to Secretary Qin and the others, smiling, he said, “Secretary Qin, I’m sorry for the trouble. Secretary Qin, I would like to report the Executive Deputy Mayor of Zhuang City, Yao Linshan, and his son Yao Kang. Just now, Yao Kang, a non-leader and non-state public official, ordered Captain Zhang of Zhuang City Public Security Bureau to take private action against me. In order to protect my own life, I had to fight back. I appeal to the Yanbei Provincial Disciplinary Commission to investigate Comrade Yao Linshan and conduct a detailed review of Yao Kang’s source of income.”

Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Secretary Qin felt moved. Nie Guowei had a good son. He was calm, collected, and clear-headed. At this moment, he was thinking about dealing with Yao Linshan. This would no doubt significantly enhance Nie Guowei’s influence in Yanbei province.

But at present, Secretary Qin had no choice but to agree. With the Dong and Yang families around, coupled with Nie’s family power, he wouldn’t dare harbor any other thoughts. Therefore, Secretary Qin nodded and said, “Secretary Nansheng, Mayor Huazhang, please handle Yao Linshan’s case personally. The Provincial Disciplinary Commission will fully support you. No matter who is involved, or what person is implicated. Thoroughly investigate and never be lenient.”

PS: I’m really sorry dear friends. The leader came for inspection this afternoon, and then we went for dinner followed by a singing proposal. It’s already now that I have returned. These are the drawbacks of being at work. After careful consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided to quit my job. After this month, I will officially quit. Brothers and sisters, please give me a bit of confidence and encouragement.
