Chapter 811: Chapter 811: Liu Pingjun’s Decision
After Huang Yu left, Ji Yang sat there thinking for a while.
Ji Yang planned to appoint Qian Huixian as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission as a form of reward to her.
Qian Huixian had always worked in the government and never resigned. In her view, as long as Ji Yang remained in the government, she could stay and be of assistance to him.
Ji Yang was pleased with such a woman, and promoting her was a good thing.
Then Ji Yang suddenly remembered, he had mentioned yesterday that he was supposed to visit the public security bureau to conduct an inspection today.
Once he was in the car, Ji Yang headed towards the public security bureau.
Inside the public security bureau, Deputy Director Liu Pingjun was a bit restless. He arrived there early in the morning, and conducted some clean-up operations, notifying everyone to be present.
However, by midday, Ji Yang still hadn’t shown up.
This situation made Liu Pingjun very uneasy. Although he was not involved in this matter, it didn’t mean he was completely clear. It’s just that those being targeted weren’t on the same side as him. If they really investigated him, problems could still be found.
This forced Liu Pingjun to ponder over Ji Yang’s intentions.
Just last night, several people from the underground forces had approached Liu Pingjun.
Liu Pingjun was naturally aware of many things about Nanping City’s situation; those people were truly the ones in control here.
Among them was Xiao Family’s head, Xiao Zhenxiong.
Xiao Wei had been detained because of yesterday’s incident, and Xiao Family’s head was here to demand his release. Liu Pingjun, however, didn’t dare to release him, as the new secretary had ordered the investigation.
As a result, he overheard something, that those underground forces did not strong-willed secretary.
After hearing their stance, Liu Pingjun realized things could escalate.
All along, families holding power in Nanping City have been significant. Regarding the recent anti-corruption efforts, it would be more accurate to say it was due to internal conflicts among them, leading to a cleansing of rivals.
If Ji Yang doesn’t comply with them, it’s uncertain whether they might go as far as to kill him.
Liu Pingjun dared not confront those people; he was also considering his own retreat.
News of Ji Yang wanting to reorganize the political and legal systems had long spread; everyone knew his intentions were rooted in distrust of the current personnel and his desire to control these departments. If Ji Yang managed to take control, he might wield the knife against those underground forces.
Nobody knew exactly what Ji Yang had control over, but they understood one thing: Ji Yang must not be allowed to succeed. Moreover, given that he had already taken action against the Xiao Family, a counterattack was inevitable.
Amid this chaotic situation, Liu Pingjun was startled. He didn’t know if Ji Yang could withstand these people’s attack; if Ji Yang couldn’t, siding with him could mean his own demise.
Liu Pingjun couldn’t think of a better solution.
Having worked here for many years, Liu Pingjun knew too well about the affairs here. Thus, he believed Ji Yang absolutely couldn’t stand up against the entrenched family powers that had been rooted here for years. Even though those family forces didn’t draw much attention, Liu Pingjun once witnessed something shocking: a family member executing an assassination without attracting notice, right under his nose, leaving the person beside him directly taken out.
This had been a primary reason why Liu Pingjun never tangled with those family powers. He didn’t know if it was difficult for them to kill him; all he believed was that he couldn’t escape it, and neither should Ji Yang.
The Xiao Family, representing the family’s collective voice, had spoken out; Liu Pingjun knew it was time for him to make a choice. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel·fıre·net
Better to play it safe and lean toward those family powers!
Liu Pingjun quickly made up his mind; he could help those people with their design this time.
