Before Zhou Jun rushed to the B&B, he knew the identities of Cao Mo and others, but in any case, he had worked in government agencies for half his life, and now he was also an upright deputy division-level official, and he was also popular in the city.

How can we feel comfortable when we, five people and six people, are being criticized like this by a young man under the age of thirty?

His old face was also turning green and white at this time.

However, Cao Mo's unequivocal words made him unable to argue. Knowing Tianyue's strength, he would not have a direct conflict with Cao Mo. He regretted stepping into this mud pit and thought that he should let the Miaoling Town Police Station follow him first.

They are arguing.

In that case, no matter how powerful and profound these guys are, as long as they have no direct relationship with Duhe City, they can be ignored.

Even if these guys move out the Kanem Consulate in Xinhai and the city pinches their noses to deal with one or two grassroots policemen, it will actually be nothing.

It's good now that he has stepped into the mud pit and can't get out of it. But if he still wants to continue fighting with the mud and things get serious, he will have to directly bear the responsibility.

Zhou Jun still wanted to take a further step in his official career, but he did not dare to take the blame easily. His face was uncertain for a moment. He didn't know how to answer Cao Mo's words, but looked towards Qian Rongguang.

Qian Rongguang also found Cao Mo's words harsh, but he was in charge of foreign-related cases in the municipal bureau and was used to groveling down. How could he take matters upon himself just because others' words sounded uncomfortable?

Qian Rongguang looked at Zhou Jun and said: "I came here mainly to understand the foreign-related part of this security case. Although there is currently no direct evidence and both parties have their own opinions, there is no way for me to draw a direct conclusion.

But it’s true that these people came over to provoke trouble, and there were controlled knives hidden in the car...Secretary-General Zhou, why don’t you ask Deputy Mayor Hu for instructions on how to handle this matter?”

The whole case is not complicated, nor is it serious. Basically, the grassroots police station has the power to handle it. However, the Miaoling Town Police Station reported the matter to Qian Rongguang. Out of habit, Qian Ronggang reported it to the Municipal Government's Foreign Affairs Bureau.

manage.

Generally speaking, the Foreign Affairs Office learned about the situation over the phone and just kept following up. However, Zhou Jun, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government who was not directly in charge of the Foreign Affairs Office, contacted him afterwards and said that it was on behalf of Deputy Mayor Hu.

Qian Ronggang knew there was something fishy in this matter.

Of course, the whole thing had nothing to do with him from beginning to end, so Qian Rongguang naturally pretended not to know anything from beginning to end.

If Cao Mo's attitude was weak, Qian Rongguang would of course try to trick the Zhou army, who had a higher rank and wider connections than him, to get rid of the matter. But seeing that Cao Mo's side didn't seem weak and could be bullied,

It's not like he's willing to give up. He won't take the responsibility for this.

"The Miaoling Town Police Station will handle it as it should. We are just here to understand the situation!" Zhou Jun said irritably.

He didn't want to take the blame, but he wouldn't foolishly blame the difficult matter on Deputy Mayor Hu. He could only leave the matter to the grassroots police station to handle it according to regulations.

Of course, in his opinion, even if a few gangsters hired by Luying Company were imprisoned in a detention center for ten days and a half, it would not be considered a big deal.

"The police station can handle it seriously," Cao Mo said.

Zhou Jun pulled Qian Rongguang aside, said a few words, and then left directly; Qian Rongguang was responsible, but he said a few words to express that he would follow up on the progress of the case before leaving. Things just happened again like this.

I completely blame it on the Miaoling Town Police Station.

However, the city government and the municipal bureau were directly concerned about this foreign-related security case, and it was not the grassroots police station's turn to argue with Xini. The deputy director of the Miaoling Town Police Station who rushed to the scene could only ask the parties involved to go to the police station.

A more detailed investigation transcript.

"Jiaying, you and Cheng Xin go with Mr. Lu!" Cao Mo asked Jiaying and Cheng Xin to accompany Lu Xinyong to the police station to take notes.

Jiaying's eyes widened and she looked over with a puzzled expression, "Why did it end like this?" Cao Mo spread his hands. To put it bluntly, this matter was not serious, and it was impossible for him to deal with it in Duhe, a place he was unfamiliar with.

He is not merciful, and he has no right to demand a thorough investigation of the issues involved in Luying Group.

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Cao Jiaying and the others rushed back from the police station. When they saw Cao Mo, Cheng Xila, Xiao Jun, and Zhao Qianyun, they were already sitting in the corner of the hall playing cards. They walked over and shouted loudly: "Is there anything to eat at this time?"

I'm starving to death..."

"What's the result?" Cheng Xi asked.

"The obscenity cannot be determined. In the end, those few gangsters caused trouble and illegally carried controlled knives. Administrative detention for half a month is the only way to deal with it!" Jiaying said with more meaning, "The two people who were beaten at the demolition site

The villagers may have been threatened and did not dare to come forward and take notes. Otherwise, if they had to be detained for another half month, I think we would have to ask the media to intervene."

"Thanks to Mr. Cao for what happened today, otherwise our store might not be able to open in Duhe." Lu Xinyong said gratefully.

"This is nothing," Cao Mo smiled, put down the cards in his hand, and said to Jiaying, "You can ask the media to intervene, but Muxiang Capital has to give up the land, otherwise the matter will not be clear...

"

"I know this." Jiaying said with some pity.

"I'll contact the media." Lu Xinyong took the initiative to take over the matter.

He used to be in the securities investment circle, but now he comes to Duhe to invest.

In the B&B, he and his wife also lived a semi-secluded rural life, but they were not out of touch with their previous circles, and they also knew some people in the media.

Of course, he knew better that if he didn't want Luying Group or those gangsters to come looking for trouble again in the future, being weak and tolerant would not work.

"That's okay. If you still need our help, you can contact Jiaying or Cheng Xin directly." Cao Mo didn't say to just let it go, but he didn't want Jiaying to involve too much energy and leave it to Lu Xinyong and his wife.

Both treatments are the best.

…………

…………

Cao Mo and the others stayed in Duhe for a week before returning to Xinhai. Lu Xinyong asked the media to interview the preservation and demolition of ancient buildings in Qifeng Mountain. However, before the report was officially published, news came out that he originally intended to acquire the goods from Luying Group.

Liladi's company has decided to give up its cooperation with Luying Group.

Qiu Xiaoyan never showed up, and Wang Chaoyong didn't see his whereabouts again after this incident. Xiao Jun inquired from other classmates that Wang Chaoyong didn't seem to stay in Duhe for long, and then returned to Xinhai to work in Liansuo Pharmacy.

I don’t know if Qiu Xiaoyan holds the majority of the shares behind the scenes.

In Duhe City, there has always been great dissatisfaction with individual leaders of the municipal government and enterprises such as Luying Group. It can even be said that the complaints are carried by the public.

It’s not that no one came forward to report before, but they were all anonymous reports and carried little weight. On the one hand, the city did not take it seriously. On the other hand, the local forces were so entangled that no important person was willing to stand up and offend the local government.

Interest forces.

Judging from the direct results of the "Hua Kai Chaoshan" B&B incident, the impact was very narrow, and no important people were affected.

However, after this incident, the Duhe Municipal Government and Zhejiang Province soon received multiple real-name reporting letters directly targeting Luying Group and city leaders named Hu.

Among the whistleblowers were parties whose interests had been infringed upon by Luying Group for many years, as well as veteran cadres who had retired from Duhe for many years. They had a great impact. Zhejiang Province also quickly launched an investigation into the contents of the whistleblower letter.

These were all things Cao Mo had never expected.

In hindsight, the "Flowers Blooming Chaoshan" B&B incident was more like the first domino to fall. Duhe local whistleblowers mistook it for a signal, and acted more aggressively and boldly than before.

Out of public opinion considerations, Cao Mo asked Jiaying to give up the land at the southeastern foot of Qifeng Mountain, which was at the center of the whirlpool of right and wrong.

However, Duhe is still determined to vigorously develop the tourism resources of Qifeng Mountain. Just after the Spring Festival, the Duhe Municipal Government launched two new tourist comprehensive development lands within the Qifeng Mountain tourist area. Cao Jiaying rushed over and invested 180 million

We will acquire a piece of land and officially launch the development plan of a large-scale B&B hotel in Duhe.

After handling the preliminary matters for the land auction, Jiaying rushed back to Xinhai to celebrate the Lantern Festival and brought back the information that the deputy mayor surnamed Hu had been suspended for investigation.

"Now there is a legend in Duhe that you brought down this guy named Hu?" Cao Jiaying said with a little pride.

"Don't think this is a good thing. Someone may be spreading such rumors deliberately behind our backs!" Cao Mo said, "However, as long as we act upright and others are hiding behind the scenes to do this, we don't have to be too taboo about it."

"That's what I think. We haven't done any evil, so why should we swallow our anger when something like this happens? If everyone didn't say anything and just watched coldly, how could this society be better? In the end, why should everyone complain about social injustice and society?

Dark?" Cao Jiaying was about to explain her rationale, but when she saw that her father was eager to give her a try and wanted to teach her a lesson, she quickly changed her words and said, "Of course, when fighting these scum, we still have to be strategic and cannot be reckless.

I understand how to do this."

"..." Cao Mo smiled, and when he was about to ask Jiaying and the others about their specific B&B development plan, he turned around and saw his brother-in-law sneakily approaching through the glass window, carrying two bottles of wine in his hand.

Although Cao Mo didn't like his brother-in-law Cao Fangming, his brother-in-law was too shameless and would come over to him no matter what.

Old lady Cao was here, and the younger son ran over to visit the old lady and stayed to chat. No one could say anything wrong with him.

His father, Cao Hongzhi, was relatively soft-hearted, and they were brothers after all. Even though they had a very unhappy relationship in the early years, his brother-in-law, Cao Fangming, kept coming over to him. As time went by, it was impossible for him to keep a straight face and not talk to each other.

Xiaobo Cao Fangming can also climb up the pole. His father and Cheng Xi and her father join in when there is a card game. When they go fishing, they also buy fishing gear and participate in it. In front of outsiders, his father and his brother-in-law join in.

It seemed that the reconciliation was as good as before, so Cao Mo could no longer wipe his face and chase people away.

"Hey, I guess you are all here today. Today is the Lantern Festival. Let's come over for a meal! But I won't come for nothing. I just bought these two bottles of Yanghe Tequ in the past few days. I have some at home.

It's more than 20 years old, and it's not worth much, but the wine is really good, so we'll drink this tonight..." Cao Fangming handed the two bottles of wine to Cheng Zhengjie for a look.

Both bottles of wine were not packaged and were packed directly in plastic bags. They were ordinary glass bottles with badly corroded labels.

Old Yanghe Tequ may not be worth much, but old liquor that has been stored for a long time is now very rare.

"Bring this wine here, it won't be considered a meal." Cheng Zhengjie smiled and made way for Cao Fangming to sit down and drink tea.

Cao Fangming sat down and drank tea for a while, then looked at Cao Mo and asked, "After the Lantern Festival, you will be rushing back to Kanem in a few days, right?"

"Well, I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and go to Paris first," Cao Mo said.

"I saw that Tianyue Industrial issued an announcement a few days ago, saying that Cotonou No. 2 Power Plant has been operating normally for two months. The situation is very good, right?" Cao Fangming asked.

"..." Cao Mo patted his head. The few times we met back home, his brother-in-law would gossip about Tianyue Industrial's inside information, which made him a little annoyed.

After two asset reorganizations and capital increases, Tianyue Industrial's shareholding in Cotoro Energy was finally increased to 80%. After a new round of private placement and asset reorganization, Tianyue Industrial's net assets also increased to 8 billion.

However, because the domestic capital market is not optimistic about overseas investment, in the past year, the market value of Tianyue Industrial has always fluctuated around 6 to 7 billion, and the market value has never successfully exceeded 8 billion.

Although his brother-in-law Cao Fangming no longer suffered losses from his shareholding in Tianyue Industrial, he did not make much money. Moreover, he had been holding on to Tianyue Industrial for more than two years, and now he was unwilling to withdraw.

When Cao Mo saw Cao Li walking in, he went to the kitchen to help. He sighed inwardly and said to his uncle Cao Fangming: "If you really want to know the operating status of Cornero Energy, you need to sign a concerted action agreement first.
