Chapter 1144 I only made a mistake that all cadres in the world would make.
Upon hearing this, Ma San'er was terrified and froze in shock. He shouted desperately.
"Spare me, sir..."
Before he could finish speaking, Da Bao's gun fired. The distance was too close; the Type 54 pistol was incredibly powerful at close range. One shot sent Ma San'er flying, landing heavily on the stage.
Everyone was stunned. Da Bao's cold gaze swept over Liang Guodong and the others, finally landing on Zhang Shuqin. Zhang Shuqin, who had been trembling with fear, suddenly saw Ma San'er shot dead and cried out in surprise.
Da Bao slowly put the safety back on the gun and put it back in its holster. He took the microphone from the long-faced man and spoke to the dark mass of people below the stage.
"This Ma San'er is utterly wicked and should have been sentenced by the court. But his biggest mistake was threatening the whistleblower in front of us, the people."
Standing here today, I can confidently say that if any member of the public steps forward to expose bad elements, we will guarantee their safety. This is my promise to the people. As long as I am in southern Fujian, I will never allow bad elements to retaliate against them.
Lu Jianbang stood up, walked to Da Bao's side, took the microphone from Da Bao's hand, and spoke loudly.
"Comrades, my name is Lu Jianbang, and I am the newly appointed secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee. I will continue what Team Leader Qin Dabao said. Even if Team Leader Qin takes the work group back to Beijing, I, Lu Jianbang, will guarantee the safety of the whistleblower."
I, Lu Jianbang, came to southern Fujian not to take up an official post, but to provide logistical support for all the people of southern Fujian. Once I officially take office, I will hold a meeting every Tuesday and Saturday in the provincial party committee conference room. The doors will be open to everyone, regardless of who they are. Anyone who has opinions about the government's work, or who wants to expose or report bad elements, is welcome to come. No one will dare stop them. I, Lu Jianbang, will be waiting for you here.”
Provincial leaders such as Wang Wenlin and Li Bo stared at Lu Jianbang in disbelief. They had their own guesses, but even after it was confirmed, they were still uneasy.
After Lu Jianbang finished speaking, the audience was completely silent. Suddenly, a few scattered claps rang out, followed by thunderous applause that resounded throughout the entire square.
Even the big boss stood up and clapped his hands vigorously. Lu Jianbang turned to look at Da Bao. This idea was Da Bao's, and he didn't expect it to be so effective.
Da Bao smiled sheepishly. These were all experiences he had gained from his previous life. City leaders accepting petitions from the masses on time, resolving problems promptly, and bringing officials and the masses closer together—this was the most mature experience. Using it in this era was like having a devastating weapon that could shake the world.
Wang Wenlin quickly crawled out from behind the table and greeted Lu Jianbang with a smile. Wang Wenlin tightly grasped Lu Jianbang's hand and shook it.
"Welcome, Secretary Lu. From now on, we'll all be your soldiers. We'll go wherever you point."
This was blatant loyalty, and Lu Jianbang naturally accepted it. He held Wang Wenlin's hand and said in a low voice.
"Comrade Wenlin, let's work together to provide logistical support for the people and serve them."
Wang Wenlin was overjoyed upon hearing this. His position was already precarious, but with Lu Jianbang's promise, his position in southern Fujian was now secure.
Li Bo walked up with a flushed face. Just as he was about to shake hands with Lu Jianbang, Lu Jianbang said seriously.
"Comrade Li Bo, Zhang Guangfa has confessed to some issues, some of which involve you. The comrades from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the working group will contact you to understand the details. You are temporarily suspended from work and should actively cooperate with the working group's investigation!"
Li Bo's face turned from red to pale. He knew that no matter how big his problems were, he had been kicked out of the leadership by Minnan. The best outcome would be to retire to the second line, but he was unwilling to accept it, and he couldn't help but say.
“Secretary Jianbang, I only made a mistake that all cadres in the world would make. I was a bit nepotistic and biased, but it doesn’t warrant the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sending someone to investigate me, does it? Please put in a good word for me. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never scold a chicken.”
Lu Jianbang said seriously
"Without your bureaucratic and unprincipled protection of Zhang Guangfa, Zhang Guangfa would not have dared to harm national interests. Do you know how much bribe he accepted at one time?"
One kilogram of gold bars, a full twenty bars—do you realize how much money that is? If you did, you would think carefully and calculate just how much national interest would be harmed for these capitalists to recoup their bribes.
"Isn't your involvement behind Zhang Guangfa? You're the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission; you should understand the law. I'm giving you a chance: actively cooperate with the Discipline Inspection Commission, explain the issues, and confess. That's your only way out."
Upon hearing this, Li Bo broke out in a cold sweat. His face turned pale, and he lowered his head, silently watching Jin Hai and the other man walk up to him. Jin Hai took out a document from his briefcase and said loudly.
"Comrade Li Bo, please explain your issues at the designated time and place. Now come with us."
Even though the bigwigs are here, they don't have the authority to place Li Bo under investigation. But Jin Hai and the other man are cadres of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. With the approval of their superiors, they can place Li Bo under investigation.
Da Bao then understood the central government's arrangements; they were truly comprehensive.
Ma San'er's body was taken away. Liang Guodong looked at the pool of blood in front of him and trembled all over. He really did not expect things to be so serious. Just for theft, or even just threatening the informant, he would be executed on the spot.
He was close enough to see the gunfire still burning in his heart. He suddenly dragged the iron sign along, crawled a few steps, and knelt down in front of Da Bao, repeatedly saying...
"Commander, Commander, I...I'm exposing...I'm reporting..."
Da Bao turned around and stared at him. Liang Guodong felt as if a knife had stabbed his eyes. He kept dodging and talking.
"It's true, sir. I...I'll expose them. I want to atone for my crimes through meritorious service."
Da Bao looked down at him and said in a low voice.
"That's a good attitude. Who are you going to expose? What are you going to report?"
Liang Guodong lowered his voice and said.
"Sir, I want to report Liang Guoming, an engineer at our factory, who is also my younger brother. He is a spy from across the sea, codenamed Wild Rose."
Da Bao suddenly straightened up. Wild rose? Why does that sound so familiar? He felt like he'd seen it somewhere before. After a moment's thought, he remembered: in his previous life, there was an anti-espionage film released around 1977 or 1978.
The story is set in 1964. Liu Jiye, a spy chief codenamed Wild Rose, who was infiltrating China, set up two coastal defense guns on two islands near lighthouses in an attempt to destroy the 10,000-ton ocean-going freighter Red Star, which was built by Poland for my country.
