Chapter 172: Chen Le’s Opportunity (Third Update)_1



Dong Wan’s words left Nie Zhenbang somewhat embarrassed. At that moment, the man who everyone respectfully called Brother Yang was looking straight at them, challenging. He then said with a laugh, “Wow, Little Sheng, I didn’t expect to find a romantic encounter at your dinner party. Such an exquisite lady. Hard to come by. She looks pleasing, but I wonder what her real intentions are.”

The people nearby joined in with a mischievous laugh, “Brother Yang, you won’t know what she truly is like until you get close to her. Bras these days are deceptive. So much padding, all creating an illusion.”

This vulgar comment enraged Dong Wan. She flung her chopsticks on the table with a bang, glaring at Brother Yang and his cronies. “You… you… You are such a bunch of thugs! You refuse to pay for your meals and have the audacity to spout such shameless and vulgar remarks. I don’t know how people like you manage to get into the public security forces. I think it’s necessary to suggest to Director Nie that there should be a thorough clean-up among the county officials.”

Dong Wan’s demeanor matched with her tone and voice at this moment represented a type of grace that couldn’t be feigned. Brother Yang, although shrewd, was stunned.

The two hooligans standing nearby, however, were irritated. Seeing Brother Yang’s silence, they murmured to him, “Brother Yang, you’re not scared, are you? This woman, if she knows Director Nie, why is she still here? With the rapid development of Lixian, there are more outsiders now. This woman is probably just bluffing to keep us away.”

Brother Yang hesitated for a moment, he found the hoodlums’ reasoning plausible. Brother Yang knew his circumstances well—in reality, he wasn’t an official police officer, merely a voluntary police assistant. Donning his uniform served mostly to intimidate the local residents and help him mooch off others. With this uniform, he had gained some face within Lixian. But in front of Director Nie or Director Chen, he would be only too grateful if they even remembered his face. There’s no easy way to know either the director or Director Chen that well.

And so Brother Yang responded with a smile, “Little girl, you’re just trying to cause a scene, aren’t you? Announcing it to Director Nie. Our director is a busy man, no one of your caliber can reach him. Or are you trying to use your beauty to seduce our director? Oh, I did hear that our director is single. However, with your looks, you’re still lacking.”

Nie Zhenbang couldn’t stand to listen any longer. The situation was escalating and would only get worse if the conversation continued. Dong Wan was usually amiable but once offended, she could be tenacious. Given that the situation involved the Public Security Bureau, Chen Le could face serious consequences.

Nie Zhenbang immediately stood up, his expression stern as he looked at the men, and said in a low voice, “Which department are you from? West City Police Station? Didn’t your Director Chen clearly state ten prohibitions for the officers of Lixian Public Security Bureau at the beginning of this month? Aren’t you exploiting your office for personal gain? What kind of behavior is this? I think it’s necessary to have a good talk with Director Chen.”

The ten prohibitions of Lixian Public Security Bureau were setup by Chen Le according to some suggestions from Nie Zhenbang. At that time, it was still ten years before the five prohibitions issued by the Ministry of Public Security. After Chen Le initially took control of Lixian Public Security Bureau, he was proven to be very capable and was highly regarded by Nie Zhenbang. Nie saw the potential in Chen’s competence coupled with his age advantage, and planned to groom him as his own protege.

If Chen Le could implement something similar to the five prohibitions issued by the Ministry of Public Security ahead of time in Lixian, it would greatly promote his official career. The ten prohibitions of Lixian, essentially, were derived from the five prohibitions of the Ministry of Public Security. The five prohibitions included: a strict ban on violating gun control regulations; carrying firearms while drinking; driving motor vehicles after drinking; drinking alcohol during work hours; and participation in gambling. Breaking any of these prohibitions would result in dismissal or expulsion.

In addition to the above five prohibitions, Chen Le had added another five based on the practical situation in Lixian. The sixth was a ban on using positions for personal gain; the seventh was a ban on brutal law enforcement and misuse of private punishment during work; the eighth was a ban on extracting confessions by torture during trials; the ninth was a ban on using public vehicles for entertainment outside of work hours; and the tenth strictly implemented a recusal system in public affairs to prevent corruption.

When these ten prohibitions came into effect, the officers of Lixian Public Security Bureau felt great pressure. However, they were smoothly implemented due to Chen Le’s stern enforcement. The overall morale of the Public Security System in Lixian improved significantly due to them.

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words stunned Brother Yang for a moment, the man in front of him gave off a very serious impression and had an air of natural authority. A person would not know about these ten prohibitions unless they were very familiar with Lixian.

But at that moment, Brother Yang played cooly and looking at Nie Zhenbang, he stepped forward and said, “Who are you? Now, please, show your ID. I suspect that you are related to the recent case of prostitution in Lixian.”

Prostitution?

On hearing these words, Nie Zhenbang was dumbfounded. Brother Yang was undeniably daring.

Next to him, the usually good-tempered Li Lixue’s face had fallen, and Dong Wan was as cold as frost, standing up to face Brother Yang, “Good, good, very good. Never have I been so insulted in my life. You’re the first. I’ll see who dares to frame and slander me.”

Then, Dong Wan turned and said, “If I’m not carrying my ID and you want to arrest me, then grab me. I want to see, with no evidence or grounds, under which law you will arrest me.”

Looking at the Brother Yang in the front, Nie Zhenbang’s eyebrows furrowed. Obviously, Chen Le’s work was not accomplished perfectly yet. After all, Zhao Kunlun had been operating in the political and legal field for decades, and more than fifty percent of the officials in the Lixian Public Security Bureau were probably promoted by Zhao Kunlun. Now, Zhao Kunlun was still the Secretary of Politics and Law Committee, which was a huge stone hanging over the head of Chen Le. As for Chen Le, it was a bit difficult for him to carry out his work freely. Chen Le’s current performance could be considered quite competent.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang had an idea: to escalate the situation using this opportunity and Brother Yang to provide Chen Le with an opportunity to reshuffle the Lixian Public Security Bureau.

Then, Nie Zhenbang also stood up and said sternly, “We will not go to the public security bureau. We have not committed any crime. Your accusation is entirely baseless slander. We absolutely refuse to accept it. Wan, Li Xue, let’s go.”

As Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, a thought flashed across Brother Yang’s mind. Even if they were friends, it was improbable to be intimate with two drastically different beauties at the same time. This man was fishy. Maybe he had struck gold unintentionally. His guess might be right.

At this thought, Brother Yang saw the brilliant prospects of his future. By coincidence, he cracked a significant case and earned Chen Le’s recognition. Consequently, he officially became a full-time police officer.

Seeing that Nie Zhenbang and the others were checking out and preparing to leave, Brother Yang immediately stepped forward, put his hand on Nie Zhenbang’s shoulder, and said sternly, “Wait, you want to run before the investigation is complete?”

Then, Brother Yang shouted at the people next to him, “You guys, surround this guy. Take him all back to the station.”

As for Brother Yang, Nie Zhenbang did consider him a bit. After all, it wouldn’t look good if the news got out that a county chief had hit an auxiliary police officer, regardless of right or wrong. However, Nie Zhenbang wasn’t so polite to these thugs, who had no law enforcement authority. Even included the auxiliary police officer. When the thugs approached, Nie Zhenbang rushed forward, his shoulder shook, a force surged, and simultaneously, his elbow hit one thug’s waist. Instantly, he knocked the thug to the ground.

Seeing this, Brother Yang was extremely delighted. Now, he was hoping Nie Zhenbang would hit someone so that he could make a move. He promptly asked, “You, run to the West City Station and inform Director Zhao. Tell him that there’s a police assault here, and ask for immediate backup.”

Since Chen Le became the chief of the bureau, aside from the prohibition orders, he started a project of “ten-minute police dispatch time” in Lixian. After that, the speed of police dispatch in Lixian improved significantly. Less than two minutes later, police siren blared outside the door, and several police officers in brand-new uniforms walked in solemnly.

Their eyes scanned the room, and one of them asked Brother Yang, “Yang Zehao, what is the situation?”

Hearing the officer’s words, Brother Yang quickly changed his arrogant attitude and bowed humbly, nodding and greeting the officers as he walked up and pointed at Nie Zhenbang and the others, “Director Zhao, these two women and one man were behaving suspiciously while eating. I suspect they’re up to something. So, I asked to check their ID, but they attempted to leave. I am convinced they’re not good people.”

Following the sound, Director Zhao looked at Nie Zhenbang and immediately stood up straight. Isn’t this Director Nie?
