Rebirth of Corrupt Officials

Chapter 44.1

At 11 p.m., a gang fight erupted in the Sanguan area of Dongcheng District. Hundreds of individuals armed with machetes flooded onto the streets, igniting a fierce melee.

After contacting Yue Qingci, Jiang Xiaochuan took a moment to call the current police captain, Lu Xiu, informing him to manage the situation’s development. He understood that in the face of such a large-scale gang fight, the police force under Lu Xiu’s command was entirely inadequate. Deploying the People’s Armed Police from the military region was the only viable option.

Thus, Jiang Xiaochuan’s phone call marked the beginning of the separation of government and military. Although he also held responsibility for the people’s armed forces, his influence over significant military deployments of this magnitude was limited.@@@@

The previous ‘inspections’ merely served as ceremonial gestures for a new official taking office. Cooperation between the two entities would be necessary in the future. Under the guise of ‘inspection’, Jiang Xiaochuan maintained a favorable appearance. While Yue Qingci sought to exploit this situation as a pretext for dispatching, Jiang Xiaochuan couldn’t directly intervene; he had to adhere to the established workflow. Recognizing his inability to resolve the matter, Lu Xiu informed his immediate superior.

Jiang Xiaochuan completed his tasks and remained seated until dawn, clutching his cell phone.

In the shroud of night, darkness enveloped the world. Yet, as dawn approached, the darkness gradually receded, yielding to the light.

In this moment, he would emerge.

.

Wei Lai had received the news the previous night and didn’t head to the municipal government in the morning. Instead, he arranged for his driver to pick Jiang Xiaochuan up at the municipal compound.

As the person in charge of public security, now was the time for Jiang Xiaochuan to appear in front of the public.

After getting in the car, Wei Lai directly handed over a can of coffee, then sorted out the documents and gave them to Jiang Xiaochuan.

The reporters outside, carrying all kinds of cameras, grew impatient, causing a commotion. However, due to the strong deterrent force of the armed forces, they didn’t dare to overstep. This was excellent news; it would definitely hit the front page and shock the public! It was a pity that there was no firsthand information yet, only speculation circulating on the internet.

As soon as these people saw an official car approaching, the sharp-eyed ones recognized it as Deputy Mayor Jiang Xiaochuan’s car and immediately rushed over.

.

The government staff in charge here had long received news of Jiang Xiaochuan’s arrival and immediately came over to maintain order.

Jiang Xiaochuan had long anticipated the scene. After getting out of the car, he smiled reassuringly at the reporters and said, “Journalists, thank you for your hard work. This matter is very serious. Mayor Fu has emphasized the need for serious action. You’ve been waiting anxiously outside, and I’m eager to go in and assess the situation. Can you please make way? After all, what’s happening inside is the priority.”

The reporters, who had been asking tough questions, were momentarily speechless.

They had never encountered such a straightforward deputy mayor before. Although they had heard that Jiang Xiaochuan was different from others, they still felt a bit uneasy when encountering him for the first time.

At this moment, most superior leaders would likely memorize their speech to appease the public first. However, Jiang Xiaochuan simply stated, “Mayor Fu emphasized dealing with it seriously.”

But Jiang Xiaochuan’s approach was reasonable, and it was inevitable that they would have to give way.

Soon, a narrow road emerged in front of Jiang Xiaochuan, but various camera flashes continued to illuminate the area.

The situation had been brought under control in the early morning. Shortly after dawn, the city was shrouded in a faint haze, casting a gloomy atmosphere over the towering concrete buildings.
