After the discussions at the municipal government’s internal work meeting, it was decided that the financial aspects of Jiang Xiaochuan’s work would be handed over to the new acting deputy mayor, Wu Ju. Fu Peng said that this was to reduce Jiang Xiaochuan’s work pressure, and Jiang Xiaochuan accepted it happily in the eyes of others.

Whether he accepted it happily or not, only Jiang Xiaochuan himself knew.

Lian Cheng left, taking away the inspectors from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Almost all the officials in Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone thought that as soon as the news came out, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection would inevitably increase its firepower to investigate the inside story, but who knew that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was actually afraid!

After all, the one who came down to inspect was still a young man, so what if he had a background? The background was not stronger than the rules of the entire officialdom.

No matter who he was, as a secretary or director, if he offended their interests, he would be overthrown! Furthermore, he, Lian Cheng, was just a small deputy director. If he wanted to win over the entire officialdom of Chengzhou, it was simply a dream!

As soon as Jiang Xiaochuan entered the municipal building, he could see those ghosts and snake demons happily talking about the bombing that day. As one of the parties involved, Jiang Xiaochuan was often asked how he felt at the time, especially when Lian Cheng was still in full view of the public. It was incredible to be saved by him. There were actually people who sacrificed themselves to save others in this world, and it was still their own member in the officialdom of Chengzhou – this was incredible.

Others asked Jiang Xiaochuan how he felt at that time. Jiang Xiaochuan only said, “The deputy director sacrificed his life to save others, and he was so honorable.” Then he gave a smile with an unknown meaning. After that, whether the people understood or not, they pretended to be very understanding and direct, laughing it out.

In their eyes, people like Lian Cheng were fools.

Jiang Xiaochuan was an insider in Chengzhou’s official circles. He was a disciple of Qu Zhendong, the current deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Everyone knew this. Therefore, because of this relationship, even if no one had heard that Jiang Xiaochuan had received money from anyone to do anything, they still determined that Jiang Xiaochuan would not be that kind of pedantic and honest official, and they rarely avoided him during conversations.

Another survivor, Xu Weiguo was present when the explosion occurred. Now he bragged to everyone about his good luck and quick reaction. He fell down as soon as he heard the sound and escaped disaster.

Every time he said it, if Jiang Xiaochuan was there, he would just laugh along with everyone else – no one knew whether Xu Weiguo really reacted quickly or whether he had already known about the explosion in advance.

However, it could be inferred from clues. For example, Mayor Fu Peng told Jiang Xiaochuan to be on time. Xu Weiguo also said that the mayor told him to be on time. Xu Weiguo was still looking at the time along the way. One of the two people must be abnormal. Or maybe both were evil. Jiang Xiaochuan still didn’t know who it was. What was certain was that his current situation was actually very difficult, and someone was secretly targeting him.

This day was Saturday. Chengzhou had four distinct seasons. Now it had entered the hottest dog days. In the work schedule of Chengzhou officials, the afternoon office was in name only. As soon as the afternoon came, all major offices were busy moving out. The buildings would be empty and no one would be there at all because it was too hot, and no officials or civil servants would sit there to do practical things for the people.

On a day off, before the sun rose, Jiang Xiaochuan wore a sweatshirt and carried a bag to the shooting range. It was rare for customers to come as early as him. Now Jiang Xiaochuan’s face appeared more often in public. Well, the lady at the registration office looked at him and actually shouted “Hello, Mayor Jiang”.

Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t pay attention, smiled at her, turned around, took the certificate, and went in to collect the things.

Today’s condition was not good, and the best result was the eighth ring. Compared with Yue Qingci’s casual shot and direct hit, he was still far behind as an amateur.

After the shooting, he sat in the café upstairs and waited for someone.

The only person he could wait at the shooting range was Yue Qingci.

At ten o’clock, Yue Qingci arrived on time.

“Brother Xiaochuan came very early.” Yue Qingci was wearing a light blue polka-dot shirt and looked younger. Like the eating and drinking men and women walking on the street, he looked very casual, but this person was already a Colonel.

Colonel Yue.

His promotion was so fast that ordinary people could not understand it. Jiang Xiaochuan had never heard of being promoted to military rank like this in the establishment of the military region.

However, maybe it was because of his outstanding performance in handling the gang fight last time and his great efforts in investigating the firearms and ammunition in the military area afterwards, which could be regarded as the reason for his meritorious service, right?

Jiang Xiaochuan saw him sitting down, picked up the lemonade with ice in front of him, and added: “The government is very free on Fridays, and has holidays on Saturdays and Sundays.”

“The military region is not as good as you think. It’s so busy.” If he was really busy, Jiang Xiaochuan wouldn’t be able to meet him at this time.

“What happened to that incident a few months ago?” The issue of guns and ammunition in the military region that was exposed due to the gang fight had always been on Jiang Xiaochuan’s attention list, because it was related to the people behind Rong Shaobai.

Yue Qingci did not expect Jiang Xiaochuan to be so interested in this issue. This issue had just been reported to the police in the past two days, and there were some clues. However, the old men in his family seemed to be very unwilling to deal with these issues. After all, they were members of his own family.
