Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 862 Lifting the Blockade

After hearing the news, Zhong Zhengguo finally showed a long-lost smile and thanked the leader of the General Office on the other end of the phone repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, thank you Director. Okay, I'll be in the waiting room right away."

Seeing that Zhao Mengsheng needed a complete set of security checks and had to arrive early, and meeting the leader required more preparation time, Zhong Zhengguo immediately urged the driver to go to the lake quickly after receiving the call.

After Zhong Zhengguo arrived at the waiting room and underwent security checks, he began to wait anxiously for Zhao Mengsheng to summon him.

At this time, the secretary who was following him anxiously wanted to come in to pass the message to Zhong Zhengguo, but was kept outside by the guards.

"Secretaries, please stay outside. The leader will be meeting with you soon."

The secretary had no choice but to stand outside. The phone in his hand was still ringing, so he had to walk to the corner to answer it.

"Hello, Secretary Huang, please wait a moment. The secretary is meeting with the leader and will come out soon.

Yes, about half an hour."

On the other side of the phone, Zhongzhou City.

The loss of contact with the entire building of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department and the cadres inside first attracted the attention of the provincial government. The deputy governor in charge could not contact the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department. They were supposed to convene a meeting of several departments in the afternoon, but now the entire leadership team of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department could not be contacted. This was too abnormal.

The secretaries and other staff below are also unable to contact the middle-level section and department-level managers within the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

Liu Xuefeng, the executive vice governor of Zhongjiang Province, immediately felt something was wrong and questioned the cadres and secretaries who came to report.

"You mean, even the director and section chief of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department can't be contacted?"

Liu Xuefeng was able to remain calm and dismissed several of his subordinates.

"You guys go down first and keep in touch. I'll ask the relevant department."

If it was several high-level people who could not be contacted, Liu Xuefeng guessed that they might have been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, but how was it possible that even the middle-level people below could not be contacted?

Is the phone line down and under repair? That's impossible. I can't even make calls to my personal cell phones.

Liu Xuefeng was a cautious person. He immediately called several telecommunications companies including China Mobile and China Unicom. After receiving the news that they had not blocked the area around the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department, his heart sank quickly.

There is only one possible outcome. It seems that the people in the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development are under physical control. In this land, only a few powerful departments can make a department-level unit lose contact as a whole.

Liu Xuefeng picked up the phone and called the "relevant department", which was actually the National Security Bureau. It was most likely them who could do this. If someone in the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department leaked the information to the Japanese, it would most likely not implicate other people, and the investigation would end there.

"Governor Liu, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Even the relevant departments have denied it, so how could a supernatural event still happen? However, there are still loopholes in the other party's words, so I should just leave it to my own guess, but forcing the question will not get any results.

"Thank you, Chief. I'll send someone to take a look."

But the other party still gave an answer, probably because of their personal relationship.

"Governor Liu, we are old acquaintances.

I do have a record of this matter. The Provincial Public Security Department and the Military Sub-district also received a notice from the ministry. They received the news just before the operation was to begin. The Public Security Department was even asked to arrange transportation.

You can ask the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. "

When Liu Xuefeng heard this, he stood up immediately and almost hit his thigh on the table. The worst news came. It turned out to be the Discipline Inspection Commission. It was the Discipline Inspection Commission that blocked the entire Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department building. Even the clerks were under control.

This was a huge uproar, and because the Zhongjiang Provincial Party Committee and Government were unaware of this situation, Liu Xuefeng tried hard to control his emotions.

"Okay, thank you, thank you. I will go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to ask about it right away."

Qi Tongwei made such a big move and directly blocked an entire provincial government department. Naturally, he would not act alone.

The first thing is to get approval from the superiors. The management agreed to this matter and required progress reports at any time to avoid accidents. The original arrangement was for the Second Supervision Office to complete it independently, but the leaders above were not reassured and asked Qi Tongwei to lead the team personally and keep abreast of the situation at all times.

Then, some relevant departments of Zhongjiang Province had to say hello to them to avoid making strategic misjudgments. Several powerful departments received direct instructions from their superiors when Qi Tongwei's operation began.

The Provincial Public Security Department was asked to direct nearby traffic, the military sub-district also received a report, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection dispatched most of its personnel to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department to help and obey Qi Tongwei's command, but they were all guarding the gate from the outside and were not allowed to contact the cadres inside.

In the conference room of Building No. 2, the meeting was coming to an end.

Qi Tongwei sat in the main seat, watching the relevant leading cadres being taken away for investigation one by one. He felt calm and just kept counting the number of people out of boredom.

“Yes, yes, two-thirds of the team members are still here, and only one-third of the subordinate departments have been arrested.

Judging from the situation, this matter can be settled within an hour."

In the conference room, a cadre wore a law enforcement recorder on his chest, recording the situation at any time. The summary of several groups was also transmitted to an office next to the conference room, and the summary was also transmitted to the capital at any time.

In Zhao Mengsheng's office, the summary data on the computer was constantly changing. Zhao Mengsheng looked at the data without much expression on his face. When he saw Zhong Zhengguo come in, he motioned for him to find a seat.

Zhong Zhengguo saw that Zhao Mengsheng was staring at the computer and pressing F5 to refresh from time to time. He didn't dare to go up, for fear that he would see something he shouldn't see and be caught by the guards.

So he sat obediently on the single sofa in the reception area, sitting upright.

A few minutes later, Zhao Mengsheng took a deep look at Zhong Zhengguo who was sitting on the sofa, sighed, and picked up the phone.

"Operator, please connect to Qi Tongwei."

A few seconds later, the call was quickly connected and Qi Tongwei's voice was heard.

"Boss, I'm here."

Zhao Mengsheng took another look at the summary screen on the computer.

"Okay, we can lift the blockade now."

By this time, only thirty minutes had passed since Qi Tongwei cordoned off the entire Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department building for investigation.

In the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, most of the cadres were extremely depressed during the meeting. The director, who was supposed to be sitting in the main seat and giving a eloquent speech, was taken away. The person sitting in the main seat at this time was the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and he also brought about a terrible silence.

Every few minutes, cadres were taken away from the conference room. The extreme depression also caused some female cadres to start crying.

Qi Tongwei didn't care about them. As long as they didn't participate in any violations, they could cry if they wanted. But if evidence was found to prove that they participated in any violations, their crying would be counted and they would be taken away anyway.
