Chapter 314: Chapter 309: Closing the Case and Returning to Beijing_1
He Weimao’s words were quite tactful, yet the meaning was clear: the Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee wouldn’t intervene in this case. Everything would be done by the book, not placing Nie Zhenbang in a difficult position. After all, this is a case that Secretary Ouyang Xia was interested in.

With the gathered material evidence and testimonies, especially the account book written by Liu Hongmei, Feng Dabiao crumbled under immense pressure.

He admitted to receiving massive bribes in the appointment and promotion of personnel in Dameng County, leading an utterly corrupt lifestyle. In addition, he was suspected of plotting to control the county by suppressing and framing other county committee leaders.

Meanwhile, the investigation into Feng Dajun had also come to light. During his tenure as the Standing Committee Member of Dameng County and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, he privately ran entertainment venues, organized women to prostitute themselves, and accepted bribes from local criminal organizations, serving as their protector. His actions had a terrible influence, sparking intense public anger.

Feng Tianbao was accused of raping women and girls, and deliberately killing innocent women, all under the protection of his father and uncle. In Dameng County, he organized a group of idlers to cause havoc and behave recklessly.

Related to this, many leaders involved in Feng Dabiao’s case were implicated. After the case investigation was clear, they would be prosecuted in another place.

Secretary Huang of the Ludong Province Disciplinary Committee reported this matter to Qi Quansheng, the Secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee. Upon learning of the matter, Secretary Qi was irate. He immediately ordered all the suspects to be detained in Luquan City, the provincial capital, and a month later, the Luquan City Procuratorate would prosecute the crime suspects in Dameng County led by Feng Dabiao.

Feng Dabiao, Feng Dajun, and Feng Tianbao were sentenced to death in the first instance, and their political rights were revoked for life.

The other suspects were sentenced to various terms, ranging from life imprisonment to imprisonment for more than five years. At the same time, Wei Zhiguo took over as Secretary of the Dameng County Party Committee and was appointed County Mayor. Deputy Director of the County Public Security Bureau, Tang Yutian was appointed as the Director of the Dameng County Public Security Bureau.

As the case was resolved, Nie Zhenbang and others had already started packing up. Now that the case had been clarified and Nie Zhenbang was returning to Jingcheng with a case report, the Ludong Provincial Disciplinary Committee still dared not show any favoritism in this case.

Unlike renting a car when they first arrived, this time, a vehicle dispatched by the Ludong Provincial Disciplinary Committee. Amid the farewell of several main leaders of the Dongmeng District Party Committee and Office, and Fan Mengshui, Secretary of the Dongmeng District Disciplinary Committee, with the traffic guidance vehicle of the Dongmeng District Public Security Office leading the way.

The fleet set out in grand style from Dameng County. Here in the Ludong Province, the preferred official car was Audi 100, specially dispatched from Luquan City for Nie Zhenbang and others, as Dongmeng District couldn’t afford ten Audi 100s all at once with its economic strength. The convoy moved quickly with its warning lights flashing.

In one of the leading cars, which bore the license plate QiA-00001, besides the driver, there were only Nie Zhenbang and He Weimao.

At this moment, seeing Nie Zhenbang’s stern and cold expression, He Weimao felt a bit emotional. Originally, in He Weimao’s view, Nie Zhenbang, being young and occupying the position of deputy bureau-level cadre and holding substantial power as the Deputy Director of the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Office of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, seemed prospering.

Both were engaged in disciplinary inspection work; He Weimao knew that this department was not like the Letters and Calls Office (also known as the Report Center), which could be compared. The various departments of disciplinary inspection and supervision had actual investigation and review power.

Originally, He Weimao believed that Nie Zhenbang must be willful and proud due to his youth, and wouldn’t let go of the credit at hand. Even though it was just a county case, it was a case personally supervised by Deputy Secretary Ouyang Xia, which, if done well, would have a different status in Secretary Ouyang Xia’s eyes.

However, Nie Zhenbang did let go. He had helped Dongmeng District and Ludong Province save face. This was why Ludong Province put on such a show to welcome Nie Zhenbang and others.

“Director Nie, I’m blessed this time thanks to you. This is the vehicle of Ji Zongdao, a member of the Ludong Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of Luquan City Party Committee. This time, Secretary Qi used this car to complete the fleet. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the privilege to experience Luquan City’s No.1 car.” He Weimao expressed with some emotion, jokingly highlighted the importance of Ludong Province paid to Nie Zhenbang.

In common perception, the No.1 car of a provincial capital city seems to be the vehicle of the provincial party secretary. However, it’s not the case, usually, the No.1 car of a provincial capital city is basically the vehicle of the city party secretary. The provincial party secretary generally uses a car with an O license plate. For instance, Qi Quansheng’s official car number plate is QiO-00001.

Hearing He Weimao’s words, Nie Zhenbang also smiled: “Director He, saying so would embarrass me. You shouldn’t underestimate yourself, Director He. Considering your position, I’m afraid promotion is a certainty.”

A trace of contentment appeared on He Weimao’s face. Nie Zhenbang was right. This incident gave He Weimao a good deal of credit. After all, acquiring such a case from the hands of the Central Disciplinary Committee, Qi Quansheng’s evaluation of He Weimao was quite good. This time, He Weimao might have a great chance of becoming the Deputy Secretary of Ludong Provincial Disciplinary Committee because of this. On the surface, He Weimao was very modest, saying: “Haha, Director Nie, you’re well-informed. It isn’t final yet, not dare to say, not dare to say. Until the official appointment is announced, anything can change.”
