After Zhou Tongxun finished speaking, Mr. Yue's face suddenly darkened.
The various factions within Congress have a pyramid structure, and those at the top will constantly make adjustments to those at the bottom to stabilize their positions.
People at the lower levels will also transfer their interests to the upper levels to ensure the stability of power in the hands of those above and protect themselves from pressure from all aspects.
The relationships between the upper and lower levels within each faction are complementary to each other.
But overall, the people below are still at a disadvantage, especially those on the fringes of the faction like Zhou Tongxun. Being replaced is just a matter of words.
Seeing Mr. Yue losing his temper, Zhou Tongxun did not give in even though his palms were sweating.
He did this not entirely to protect Wu Mian's safety, but also to gain some say for himself among conservatives, rather than allowing others to smooth him over.
The two were in a stalemate for about three seconds. Mr. Yue looked at Zhou Tongxun with gloomy eyes: "Do you feel that the power in your hands comes too easily, so you don't cherish it so much?"
"Mr. Yue, people are greedy for power. I have been sitting in the deputy position for so many years and I have always wanted to climb up. Now that I am sitting in this position, I really cherish it."
Zhou Tongxun paused for a moment: "I know that the conservatives have put a lot of effort into putting me in office, and I am grateful, but you and other conservative elders, if you think that I, Zhou Tongxun, will sit in this position, you will just
If I can give so much without even being able to achieve my own demands, then I don’t want this power.”
When Mr. Yue heard what Zhou Tongxun said, his unhappy expression became even more serious.
Zhou Tongxun's attitude at this moment was no longer a discussion, but a threat.
The conservative side has already been at odds with the Student Affairs Department in order to put him in the position. If Zhou Tongxun gives up the job at this time, it will not only mean that their efforts have been wasted, but it will also make outsiders see the conservative joke.
Although Zhou Tongxun's look back made Mr. Yue dissatisfied, an old guy like him who plays politics will not let his emotions influence his thinking. Seeing Zhou Tongxun's resolute attitude, he did not continue to intensify the conflict: "This time in order to keep you
We have made a lot of efforts to achieve a smooth landing amid the violent terrorist incident, but Wu Mian's matter is not as simple as you think."
When Zhou Tongxun saw Mr. Yue mentioning Wu Mian, he did not remain tough. He picked up the teapot and filled him with water.
"Although SOF is under my jurisdiction, this department is not controlled by conservatives, or in other words, this department is not controlled by anyone, because it represents the will of the entire Congress. Any faction that interferes with SOF affairs will trigger a siege."
Mr. Yue said sternly: "The United Region has always regarded itself as the world's largest economy, and this large-scale attack in the capital is a scandal and slaps everyone in the Congress in the face! Don't worry about everyone's infighting.
No matter how ruthless you are, you won’t be stupid enough to ruin your common job, so everyone is watching the Jinhai Plaza case.”
"Mr. Yue, the reason why I want to speak out for Wu Mian is not because he is related to this case, but precisely because this case has nothing to do with him."
Zhou Tongxun said with a serious face: "I know that the people above have their own considerations, but you can't ignore the people below us. If I can't even protect Wu Mian, how will the work of the security department be carried out next?"
Seeing Zhou Tongxun insisting on this matter, Mr. Yue sighed helplessly: "To tell you the truth, Wu Mian won't be able to come out in the short term."
"this……"
Zhou Tongxun's face turned serious: "Is Wu Mian really involved in this case?"
"The incident at Jinhai Square is far more serious than you think, not only because it caused hundreds of casualties and huge economic losses, but also affected the political status of the United Region."
Mr. Yue lowered his voice: "I was just upstairs, attending an internal meeting of the Congress. Congress has handed over the task of detecting violent terrorist cases to the SOF and asked them to solve the case within a time limit. Before the matter comes to light, except for the three departments
Zhou Fuguang and anyone involved will be detained."
"Why can Zhou Fuguang come out?"
"When he was taken away by SOF for investigation, he was already poisoned, and he cut off his arm to save his life. However, there were still toxins in his body, so he was specially released for medical treatment. However, Zhou Fuguang was released only for medical treatment and not for medical treatment.
It means freedom."
"The fact that he can come out already shows a lot of things. I kept Wu Mian here just to deal with Zhou Fuguang's three things."
When Zhou Tongxun heard the bad news, he became even more excited: "Without Wu Mian, I don't have anyone who can confront Zhou Fuguang head-on. Zhao Heping will also seize this opportunity to suppress the Ninth Division. If there is a problem with the Ninth Division, my
The trump card is gone."
"I can't help you with this matter. If you want Wu Mian to come out, the most effective way is to solve the case as soon as possible. As long as the suspect who planned the violence is brought to justice, Wu Mian will naturally be released."
Mr. Yue said this and stood up from the sofa: "What you just said is quite right. Since it has taken so many years to reach the position of Minister of Security, don't always think about serving the higher-ups, unclogging relationships, and doing business in the business.
We need to put more effort into solving the case. It is your police's job to solve the case. If you really want to save Wu Mian, your efforts will be more effective than mine."
"Yes, Tongxun has learned a lesson."
Seeing that Mr. Yue was about to leave, Zhou Tongxun also stood up: "Mr. Yue, let me ask one more question. Assuming that the case in Jinhai Square has never been solved, then Wu Mian..."
"Wu Mian has contributed to the coalition government and is also very important to you, but for this country, he is dispensable..."
Mr. Yue said nothing and walked upstairs without looking back. The housekeeper also walked to Zhou Tongxun, saying polite words and preparing to see off the guests.
When Zhou Tongxun walked out of Yue's residence, his mind was already in a mess.
He felt that he had been trapped in an endless loop.
Now that he had just taken over the Security Department, his subordinates in the Health Department did not give him any face at all, and they were always in a state of obeying orders but not announcements.
Even if he orders an investigation into a violent terrorist case, the people below will inevitably fail to do their job.
Without Wu Mian, he didn't even have a confidant who could investigate the case. The investigation of the case was unclear, and Wu Mian was destined to be detained forever.
"Bang!"
Zhou Tongxun kicked the landscape tree in front of Yue's home, and sat in the car with a gloomy expression, preparing to clear up other relationships, at least restoring contact with Wu Mian first.
The actual development of the matter was far more complicated than Zhou Tongxun imagined.
While he was running for Wu Mian, a combat airship had landed at Sof's secret base, preparing to transfer Wu Mian.
