Chapter 111 Arresting people
Li Peihang did not respond. He knew that Ning Weidong's actions would harm the interests of the factory.
But so what? They don’t care at all. No matter how big the factory’s profits are, they don’t get a penny. Why should they take care of the factory’s interests?
Besides, it's a matter of life and death now. If you are still hesitating, you might as well surrender.
But he didn't dare say these words in front of Li Weibing.
After a moment, Li Weibing said again: "Ning Weidong is here today, you should go talk to him, but you still have to consider the overall situation of the factory."
Li Peihang frowned and said, "Uncle, this...what do you want me to say? Wang Guoqiang is ready to dig a hole and bury him, and now you want him to consider the overall situation?"
How could Li Weibing not know this situation, but some rules cannot be broken.
Once the door is opened and people follow suit, how can the factory still manage it?
But then again, he has no real deterrent power over Ning Weidong right now. It's just an attitude, for some people to see.
Since he sold Ning Weidong to Workshop 4 in order to promote Chu Chengfu, he was giving up on Ning Weidong.
Now Ning Weidong has created the situation on his own, and he has the support of the Wang family and the Zhao family. He has no subordinate relationship with Li Weibing. If he continues to interfere, it will only deepen the enmity.
However, Li Weibing has been in this position for a long time, and inevitably has a habit of thinking. He feels that since Ning Weidong is in the factory, he should give him this face.
In this regard, Li Peihang is more sober.
……
At the same time, in Wang Guoqiang's office on the other side.
Wang Guoqiang came down from the top and became the deputy director of the Red Star Factory. As the second in command, his office was originally supposed to be next to Li Weibing's, but he asked for the office at the very edge of the fifth floor, saying he didn't want to make any more trouble.
In the office, Wang Guoqiang's expression was tense. Looking at Wang Kaifeng who looked anxious, he said in a deep voice: "Are you too nervous?" Then he looked at his watch: "It's only eight o'clock now. Maybe I'm just late."
Wang Kaifeng said confidently, "Impossible! Lu Xuesong is very self-disciplined. Since he started working at the factory, he has never been late or left early."
Wang Guoqiang asked: "Maybe something happened at home?"
Wang Kaifeng pursed his lips and said, "I asked someone to contact his brother early in the morning. Nothing happened at their home, and he hasn't seen Lu Xuesong. And... according to people in the same dormitory, someone came to see Lu Xuesong last night. One of them looked familiar, and seemed to be from the Security Department..."
Wang Guoqiang raised his eyebrows. His heart twitched when he heard the words "Security Department".
Ever since he used some means to get rid of Director Liu from the Security Department.
Although Wang Kaifeng failed to get promoted, he had basically suppressed Li Peihang in the Security Department.
Until a few days ago, Ning Weidong made a big move in workshop four.
The ones who went secretly to find Lu Xuesong could not be them, but Li Peihang and Ning Weidong.
Li Peihang did not have that courage. Besides, Li Peihang was just a hand extended by Li Weibing to the Security Department. After all, Li Weibing was old and had long lost his former vigor.
Wang Guoqiang concluded that Li Weibing would not make a fuss about Lu Xuesong at this time.
If Li Weibing had not tacitly agreed at the beginning, this matter would never have been suppressed.
Then the only people who could take Lu Xuesong away would be Ning Weidong's men, which is also in line with the current situation.
Wang Kaifeng made the same judgment and came here early in the morning.
At this time, Wang Kaifeng felt very regretful.
He suspected that Ning Weidong's high-profile dispatch of people to capture He Yongbiao yesterday was most likely a tactic to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Attract his attention, but contact Lu Xuesong secretly.
In fact, he has never relaxed his focus on Lu Xuesong since the incident last year.
He had known for a long time that Lu Xuesong was not an easy person to deal with, but Lu Xuesong had been relatively well behaved over the past year and a half, especially after he sent someone fishing and gave him a severe lesson, he seemed to have given up completely.
But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at the critical moment.
Wang Guoqiang thought for a while and said, "This matter cannot be delayed. You must quickly organize people and find the person for me as soon as possible! The people from Workshop 4 will be in place this afternoon. By tomorrow morning at the latest, we will determine the process flow and start trial production in the afternoon... In two days at most, everything will be settled. No mistakes are allowed during this period!"
However, just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.
Wang Guoqiang's face was as gloomy as water, and he said, "Come in."
"Leader, Director Li wants you to come over." Outside the door was Wang Guoqiang's secretary.
Wang Guoqiang was still upset, and as he became more and more assertive, he and Li Weibing tried to avoid meeting each other, and they communicated over the phone unless it was necessary.
What does Li Weibing mean this time by calling him over so early in the morning?
Wang Guoqiang said, "Go and tell them I'm not in the office and come back when you get back."
The secretary responded and closed the door and went out.
Wang Kaifeng on the side was not surprised either. For a long time, especially recently, the relationship between Wang Guoqiang and Li Weibing has become increasingly difficult to reconcile.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Li Weibing is occupying the position and doesn't want to leave, while Wang Guoqiang is eyeing to seize power.
Logically, there would be no problem for Li Weibing to ask the deputy factory director to come over if there was anything, but Wang Guoqiang also had his reasons to be tough.
Only when he is tough enough can he give his subordinates enough confidence and make them believe that it is an inevitable trend for him to replace Li Weibing.
As the attacker, he can only advance and not retreat.
If he shows weakness, the people on his side will disperse faster than those on Li Weibing's side.
However, Wang Guoqiang has not yet realized the seriousness of this incident.
In Li Weibing's office, Chu Zhongxin was sitting on the sofa smoking, with various documents on the coffee table in front of him.
At this time, a middle-aged man came in and said, "Director, Deputy Director Wang is not here, only Secretary Chen is here."
Li Weibing showed no expression and said calmly, "Let him in."
Wang Guoqiang's secretary came in and bowed slightly, saying, "Director, our Director Wang is not in the office. He should be in the workshop..."
Li Weibing said in a neutral tone, "I understand. Go ahead~"
Secretary Chen responded and glanced at Chu Zhongxin as he walked out.
He had seen Chu Zhongxin once before, when he was handling Liu Xinwen’s case at the factory.
As a secretary, although not a big secretary, a good memory is definitely a basic quality.
Secretary Chen didn't know what Chief Chu was doing here again. Could there be some changes in the last case?
But he never expected that Chu Zhongxin came for Wang Kaifeng.
After he left, Li Weibing said helplessly, "Chief Chu, it's really unfortunate that Director Wang is busy with official business."
Chu Zhongxin smiled, but he saw the clue.
Li Weibing, the old man, never thought of Wang Guoqiang coming.
Chu Zhongxin had worked in the factory before and knew the relationship between Li Weibing and Wang Guoqiang. If he really wanted to inform Wang Guoqiang, he could just give him a phone call.
But he sent someone to call Wang Guoqiang over, because he was sure that Wang Guoqiang would not come.
This was equivalent to inadvertently digging a big hole for Wang Guoqiang, who was caught off guard when Wang Kaifeng was arrested.
But this is none of Chu Zhongxin’s business. He came here today with only one purpose, which is to capture Wang Kaifeng.
He said politely, "Director Li, in order to prevent any unexpected situations, I hope the factory can cooperate with us."
Li Weibing nodded with mixed feelings.
He really didn't expect that Ning Weidong could do this and actually seize the opportunity to send Wang Kaifeng in first.
Now he even doubted whether Ning Weidong was the biological son of the Wang family, as they were willing to release so many resources to support him.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have made that deal with Wang Guoqiang.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now.
Fortunately, we have a common enemy, Wang Guoqiang, and Wang Kaifeng is Wang Guoqiang's right-hand man.
Once Wang Kaifeng is killed, Wang Guoqiang's influence will be greatly reduced, and he will try his best to save Wang Kaifeng.
If this happens, more intense conflicts will inevitably break out with the Wang family.
By then, no matter who wins or loses, he will be able to reap the benefits.
If Wang Guoqiang wins and successfully rescues Wang Kaifeng, he will offend the Wang family behind Ning Weidong even more. At that time, the Wang family will definitely strengthen their cooperation with Li Weibing.
If Wang Guoqiang was defeated, he would not only lose Wang Kaifeng, but also lose face greatly.
The strong personality that has been built up with great difficulty in the past three years will collapse in an instant.
If he can’t even protect Wang Kaifeng, who can Wang Guoqiang protect?
……
Ten minutes later, Chu Zhongxin and his men, along with Li Peihang, appeared in Wang Kaifeng's office.
Wang Kaifeng had just returned from Wang Guoqiang's office a few minutes ago. When he saw Chu Zhongxin and his group, he was stunned and had a bad feeling in his heart.
But he still kept a smile on his face, stood up and said: "Chief Chu, what are you doing..."
Chu Zhongxin had a blank expression on his face and took out the arrest warrant: "Comrade Wang Kaifeng, come with us~"
Wang Kaifeng's expression changed in an instant. He was stunned at first, then he smiled. However, seeing Chu Zhongxin's serious expression, his smile faded and turned into shock: "You want to arrest me? Are you kidding me?"
Chu Zhongxin said in a deep voice: "Comrade Wang Kaifeng, do you think this is a joke? I have just obtained the factory's consent, and I hope you can cooperate."
Wang Kaifeng's face darkened, but he did not panic. He immediately said, "I want to see Director Wang."
Chu Zhongxin stopped talking nonsense with him. He winked at his subordinates next to him and immediately went up to them and took out the handcuffs.
Wang Kaifeng subconsciously took a step back and reached for the drawer of the desk.
Chu Zhongxin's face changed immediately, and he quickly pulled out his gun, raised it, and aimed.
The few people who followed him were also elite soldiers, and they drew their guns almost at the same time.
Chu Zhongxin shouted sternly: "Comrade Wang Kaifeng, please don't make a mistake!"
Wang Kaifeng's movements froze, and he slumped down.
The two people who rushed in front immediately went up, grabbed him from both sides, and handcuffed him.
The third person followed and opened the drawer that Wang Kaifeng had just touched, and sure enough, there was a 54 pistol inside.
Chu Zhongxin stepped forward, took a quick look, snorted coldly, and waved his hand: "Take him away!"
Wang Kaifeng had a blank expression on his face, but he was very cooperative at this point.
Although he was impulsive for a moment just now, he calmed down in an instant. He knew it was not over yet.
As long as Wang Guoqiang is still there, he has a chance.
And Chu Zhongxin just said that he should cooperate with the investigation, but did not mention arrest.
Wang Kaifeng took a deep breath. The most important thing at this moment was to stay calm.
"Don't panic! Don't be messy!" Wang Kaifeng walked out of the office, constantly reminding himself in his heart.
Moreover, he was certain that Chu Zhongxin would lead people to capture him with great fanfare and would definitely not take him away quietly.
Sure enough, when Chu Zhongxin and his group came into the building just now, they attracted a lot of people's attention. Now they came out of Wang Kaifeng's office and actually handcuffed Wang Kaifeng!
The moment Wang Kaifeng came out of the office, the news exploded.
Especially on the third floor, the offices that were usually closed were all opened today without exception. Whether they liked to watch the fun or not, everyone stretched their necks to see what was going on.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Wang Kaifeng being brought out with handcuffs on his hands.
What is going on? What happened?
Those who can stay in the office in the building are not fools. Everyone knows who Wang Kaifeng is and who he represents.
Now that Wang Kaifeng is in trouble, does it mean that Deputy Director Wang also has problems?
Is the situation in the factory going to change again?
Instantly, countless thoughts popped up in many people's minds. Ning Weidong also followed Section Chief Chen and Wen Aiying out of the office.
Just now Chu Zhongxin went upstairs to find Li Weibing, and Ning Weidong returned to his original office. Coincidentally, Feng Wen was not there.
He chatted with the two of them for a while, and when he heard the noise outside, he immediately came out and watched with a smile as Chu Zhongxin and his men came out of Wang Kaifeng's office.
Seeing him approaching, Ning Weidong took the initiative to step forward and said, "Hey, isn't this Section Chief Chu? What's going on?"
Chu Zhongxin was stunned at first, but then he realized that Ning Weidong was holding back his fart, and said calmly: "Performing official duties, please ask Comrade Wang Kaifeng to go back and investigate some things."
"Yes~" Ning Weidong said in surprise: "Please go back. Why are you still wearing handcuffs? Director Wang, I know~ He is a good man. Do you have evidence? Just handcuff him."
Chu Zhongxin was speechless. It was the first time he knew Ning Weidong spoke so irritatingly. Every word he said was obviously good, but when put together, plus his tone, it was so contradictory.
Behind him, Wang Kaifeng's face turned pale and he stared at Ning Weidong fiercely.
At this moment, he didn't understand that this was Ning Weidong's plan, and he had completely fallen into trouble.
He originally thought that he could dig a hole in the fourth workshop and bury Ning Weidong immediately, but he didn't expect Ning Weidong to turn the tables and kill him first.
Thinking about yesterday when He Yongbiao was arrested, and this morning when Lu Xuesong was found missing, Wang Kaifeng's heart sank. He finally realized that Lu Xuesong's disappearance was no accident and he must have fallen into the hands of Ning Weidong and others, otherwise they would not have come to arrest him with such fanfare.
This made Wang Kaifeng's heart sink. A bad thought surged from the bottom of his heart, and he stared at Ning Weidong fiercely.
Ning Weidong chuckled, stepped aside and watched them go down the stairs.
The reason why he stood up just now was not just for fun.
He wanted to tell the people in the factory that the mastermind behind Wang Kaifeng being taken away this time was him, Ning Weidong.
In this round, it was Ning Weidong who brought down Deputy Director Wang Kaifeng.
This is not just a simple feeling of pride. If it was just a breath of fresh air, Ning Weidong would not have made it. His mental age would have been too old long ago.
Instead, the goal is to reverse the situation in which Wang Guoqiang is in a strong position in the factory. Once this situation is broken, Wang Guoqiang, as a deputy, will definitely be suppressed by Li Weibing again, if not take a sharp turn for the worse.
This is exactly what Ning Weidong wants.
Things have developed to this point, and he has done what he can within the scope of the Red Star Factory.
Next it was Li Weibing and Li Peihang's turn to use their remaining courage to pursue the enemy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they completely take over the Security Department. At the same time, Ning Weidong also has to prevent Wang Guoqiang from reacting in desperation.
Anyway, Wang Kaifeng was already trapped, so he might as well go all the way and continue to use Workshop 4 to bury Ning Weidong.
Given Wang Guoqiang's personality, this possibility may exist.
Ning Weidong must prepare for a rainy day.
As Wang Kaifeng was taken downstairs, floor by floor, as if to show it to everyone in the factory, he was taken away.
On the third floor, some people went downstairs to continue watching the fun, while others returned to their offices to discuss the matter.
Ning Weidong went directly to find Li Peihang.
The two men sat down in Li Peihang's room. At this time, Li Peihang was still a little unconvinced that Wang Kaifeng was actually knocked down by Ning Weidong.
"Brother, I...I really thought..." Li Peihang was incoherent and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Ning Weidong was not in a hurry. He waited until his emotions had almost eased before he spoke: "Brother Li, now is not the time to sit back and relax. You should also make some moves."
Li Peihang was slightly stunned.
Ning Weidong continued: "Wang Kaifeng has only been taken away, but he has not been convicted yet. What if he comes back in a few days?"
Li Peihang's heart trembled. He was able to follow Li Weibing for so many years, so he was not a complete fool. He immediately understood what Ning Weidong meant and stood up and said, "I will go to my uncle now. We must hold a meeting immediately and replace him. By then, even if he comes back, it will be useless."
Ning Weidong smiled. Li Peihang was reliable at the critical moment. He stood up and said, "Then let me congratulate Deputy Director Li first."
Li Peihang raised his eyebrows and couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He had been waiting for this deputy director for many years.
In fact, Li Peihang had the opportunity to go further last year, but Li Weibing had been suppressing Wang Kaifeng, so Wang Guoqiang naturally had to suppress him as well.
This time Wang Kaifeng failed, and his chance finally came.
……
At the same time, in Wang Guoqiang's office.
With a "bang", a metal ashtray slammed hard on the door.
"This is unreasonable! This is simply unreasonable!"
Wang Guoqiang suppressed his anger like a wounded lion.
He didn't expect that the situation would develop into such an unfavorable situation.
When he heard that Wang Kaifeng was taken away, he was still a little skeptical, until he saw several police cars rushing out of the south gate of the factory through the window.
Only then did he realize that Li Weibing had deliberately asked someone to call him over, and it must be about this matter.
Sending someone to call him instead of calling him actually means they don't want him to go over.
Unfortunately, it was too late to react, and I could only swallow the loss.
Moreover, now is not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. Instead, we must rescue Wang Kaifeng as soon as possible. No matter what the situation, nothing can happen to Wang Kaifeng.
He knew how important Wang Kaifeng was to him.
Wang Kaifeng cannot afford to get into trouble. He must eliminate the impact as soon as possible and even use this incident to turn a bad thing into a good thing, so that some people in the factory, especially those who are wavering, can see the strength of him, Deputy Director Wang.
Wang Guoqiang made up his mind and immediately picked up the phone and dialed: "Hello, is this the Municipal Bureau? I'm looking for Director Liu, my name is Wang Guoqiang..."
After a while, the phone was connected: "Lao Liu, this is Guoqiang, there is a situation now... Yes... Yes... It's Chu Zhongxin... OK, I'll be there now, wait for me..."
Wang Guoqiang mobilized his connections immediately.
But the next moment after he hung up the phone, before he could turn around and leave, the phone on the table rang again.
Wang Guoqiang frowned, but still reached out to pick it up. Then his face changed: "Old leader!... I'm very sorry... Yes, I will deal with it immediately, please rest assured..."
After making some assurances, Wang Guoqiang hung up the phone, his expression becoming even uglier.
The person who called just now was his old leader, who was also his biggest supporter in suppressing Li Weibing in the factory.
This phone call brought Wang Guoqiang even more pressure, even though the other party on the phone did not speak harshly or say anything harsh.
But with years of experience, he could tell that the person on the other end of the phone was suppressing his anger and was very dissatisfied with his performance.
Wang Guoqiang knew that he had to solve this trouble as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in bigger trouble.
Wang Guoqiang came out of the office in a hurry. Just as he was about to go downstairs, he saw Li Weibing coming down the corridor.
The two men met, and Li Weibing said with a smile: "Old Wang, what a coincidence~ I was just looking for you."
Wang Guoqiang frowned. His office was the farthest away from Li Weibing's office. Normally, it was impossible for Li Weibing to sneak here.
Now that he's here, he's most likely looking for him. It's obvious that the weasel has no good intentions in paying a New Year's visit to the chicken.
Sure enough, Li Weibing said, "Old Wang, you should know about Comrade Wang Kaifeng's situation~"
Wang Guoqiang pursed his lips and nodded vigilantly.
Li Weibing said, "This incident has a very bad impact on the factory. I have just notified everyone that the factory team is going to hold an emergency meeting, and you are the only one left."
Wang Guoqiang frowned. The only thing he wanted now was to see if he could get Wang Kaifeng out immediately.
But Li Weibing is the squad leader and has the power to hold meetings. If he doesn't go and others hold the meeting normally according to the procedures, it means he has given up his power.
By then, there is no telling what kind of trouble Li Weibing will take advantage of the opportunity to cause.
As for discussing the modification time, it is obviously impossible.
Li Weibing obviously chose this time on purpose to stab him.
At a time like this, how could we expect the enemy to show mercy?
Wang Guoqiang had no choice but to agree and follow them to the conference room on the first floor.
The meeting room was not big. When Li Weibing and Wang Kaifeng came over, everyone inside was already there, just waiting for the two squad leaders and deputy squad leaders.
But today's meeting will be different from the past.
Before this, although Li Weibing was a veteran and an old comrade, he was always suppressed by Wang Guoqiang in terms of momentum.
There are also more people in the team who support Wang Guoqiang.
But today, there was a special atmosphere in the conference room.
Wang Kaifeng was taken away. Why? What happened? Is there any chance for recovery?
Everyone had these questions in their minds, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Li Weibing and Wang Guoqiang also changed.
Li Weibing sat at the main seat at the conference table and coughed lightly: "Comrades, um~ we have an emergency meeting today. Comrades from the Municipal Bureau came here just now, and everyone has seen or heard about it..."
Wang Guoqiang stood by and said nothing. It was useless for him to say anything now.
It is a fact that something happened to Wang Kaifeng. All he can do is to get Wang Kaifeng out as soon as possible. This is more useful than saying a hundred words.
As for why Li Weibing was in a hurry to attend the meeting, Wang Guoqiang could also guess it.
As expected, Li Weibing said, "Regarding Comrade Wang Kaifeng's situation, we don't need to speculate. We just need to wait patiently and believe that the comrades in the public security department will come up with a convincing result. If there is a problem, we will never tolerate it. If there is no problem, we will clear his name..."
This sounds reasonable, but Wang Guoqiang knows that there will definitely be a "but" next.
As expected, Li Weibing continued, "However, the work of the factory cannot be affected. This concerns tens of thousands of employees in the factory and the production plan for the whole year... Everyone knows the situation of the Security Department. Since Lao Zhang retired due to illness, Comrade Wang Kaifeng has been in charge of the work. Objectively speaking, Comrade Wang Kaifeng has done a good job. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be promoted to the position in the first half of this year. But who knows..."
At this point, Li Weibing was quite distressed, as if Wang Kaifeng was not Wang Guoqiang's confidant but his favorite general. However, he changed the subject and said, "We have to catch up with the fourth workshop, which will soon undertake an important task from the superior unit. The Security Department cannot be leaderless at this time. I propose that Comrade Li Peihang temporarily replace Comrade Wang Kaifeng and take over the position of deputy director to preside over the work of the Security Department."
Having said that, the truth has been revealed.
Wang Guoqiang narrowed his eyes slightly. He anticipated Li Weibing's purpose, but he was not too surprised.
Li Weibing was confident of victory, which was rare in the past two years. He said calmly: "Now let's raise our hands to vote. I agree~" and then he raised his hand first.
There was a moment of silence in the conference room, which did not last for a few seconds. Someone immediately raised his hand: "Agree!"
Li Weibing has been in the Red Star Factory for so many years, he must have a lot of die-hard believers in him.
But in comparison, these people have their own thoughts, and they all want to leave a way out for themselves when Li Weibing reaches a certain age.
But now, Li Weibing suddenly counterattacked strongly and took down Wang Kaifeng without making any noise!
In the eyes of others, it was Li Weibing who captured Wang Kaifeng this time, and Ning Weidong was just a small soldier.
As the first person 'agreed', more people raised their hands to agree.
Wang Guoqiang did not say a word throughout the whole process. He knew that it was useless to object in this situation, and the other party might even accuse him of not considering the overall situation.
Moreover, Li Weibing did not make any final statement, Li Peihang was just taking over the position temporarily.
As long as Wang Kaifeng can be rescued as soon as possible, Li Peihang will naturally return to his original position.
The key to the contest between the two sides still lies in Wang Kaifeng.
Because Wang Guoqiang did not resist, the meeting ended quickly.
This is also Wang Guoqiang's purpose. He doesn't want to fight for gains and losses in a moment or a place. What he wants is time, and he wants it quickly!
After the meeting, he left the factory without stopping for a moment.
At this time, Ning Weidong and Li Peihang were standing side by side by the window smoking.
Just then they saw Wang Guoqiang's car driving out of the south gate and quickly onto the road in front of the factory. Both of them had smiles on their faces.
Wang Guoqiang is so anxious, which means he feels there is still hope of turning the situation around and getting Wang Kaifeng out.
Will Ning Weidong give him a chance?
(End of this chapter)
