Deal with this seriously, they must be strictly punished.

Hearing this, Director Gu’s face turned pale, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He had heard Mayor Nie’s words loud and clear. He had asked Chen Le from the City Public Security Bureau to come, demonstrating such conviction and authority confirmed without a doubt that the man in front of him, who looked surprisingly young, was none other than Nie Zhenbang, the Mayor of Liangxi City’s People’s Government.

However, Director Gu did not dare to speak, he just stood there in silence. At this moment, upon knowing Nie Zhenbang’s identity, all he could do was hope that his excellent display of remorse might earn him some sympathy. He had given up on his position, sure that it was gone for good. All he could hope for now was to keep his job.

Huang Xuyang was also very excited, as this was his first call since becoming a secretary. There would certainly be more of such incidents in the future. However, the first time was always exciting.

Huang Xuyang didn’t open his contact book before making the call. Nie Zhenbang was very satisfied with this detail, which showed that Huang Xuyang was dedicated to his job. As a secretary, it’s crucial to be aware of who one’s superiors are close to, who they maintain regular relations with, and who their adversaries are. The contact information of those close should be remembered by heart, which is an essential quality for a secretary.

The call connected with a beep sound. Chen Le’s voice came through first, “Hello, Secretary Huang. From now on, we will be comrades-in-arms in the same trench. Mr. Huang, are you calling because the Mayor has some instructions?”

Hearing Chen Le’s words, Huang Xuyang was quite impressed. Chen Le lived up to his reputation. His display alone proved it was no fluke he became the head of the Liangxi City Public Security Bureau at such a young age.

Just after taking on the role of secretary, Chen Le confidently addressed him correctly, displaying an ability that Huang Xuyang admired. It showed Chen Le was also dedicated to his role.

Huang Xuyang soon adjusted his attitude and said with a smile, “Director Chen, the Mayor asked me to tell you to come to 27 Tongsheng Lane, Lianhua Street, Xishan District immediately.”

In response to Nie Zhenbang’s direct order, Chen Le didn’t hesitate. He hung up, immediately grabbed his car keys from the coffee table and left, not even bothering to respond to his wife, other than muttering something about an emergency mission.

Getting from the Liangjiang District Public Security Bureau to Xishan District was not a short distance. However, within just five minutes, the sound of brakes could be heard outside.

Immediately after, a group of uniformed police walked in, led by Chen Le, with the leaders of the Xishan District Public Security Sub-bureau following behind.

Seeing Chen Le, Nie Zhenbang walked up, his face stern and his voice filled with anger: “Chen Le, what are you doing as the head of the City Public Security Bureau? Your officers are behaving so disgracefully, blatantly violating discipline. As the head of the bureau, aren’t you going to say something?”

Having worked with Mayor Nie for many years, Chen Le was well aware of his character. Once he saw Mayor Nie’s stern expression, Chen Le knew that the Mayor was using the situation to teach a lesson. This gave Chen Le the opportunity to discipline the Xishan District Public Security Sub-bureau.

Consequently, Chen Le lowered his head and cautiously responded, “Yes, Mayor, you are correct in your criticism. I am guilty of subjective errors in party conduct, political integrity and educating officers. Please criticize and punish me!”

The two men understood each other. Nie Zhenbang naturally would not issue any specific punishment. With a serious tone, he turned and said, “The organization will handle your affairs. For now, clean up this mess that you and your men have created.”

Having said that, Chen Le stepped forward. The situation was not very complicated. In front of the head of the City Bureau, people like Director Gu could hardly twist the facts. Standing by, the incident was quickly understood.

At this moment, Chen Le’s expression changed, he commanded in a stern voice, “Pei Guoqiang, what have you been doing? Dismiss the rank of these comrades who blatantly violated discipline immediately. People like these should all be firmly expelled from the police force.”

Being stripped of their rank was akin to stripping them of their police status – this meant dismissal. However, Director Gu and the others dared not oppose in the slightest.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Le again commanded: “These public nuisances recklessly carried controlled knives, threatening and assaulting the public. They pose a significant threat to public safety and property. In accordance with the Ministry of Public Security’s orders, organized gangs of this nature must be dealt with strictly, severely, and swiftly in light of substantive evidence of their illegal activities. We cannot condone them. As public safety officers, we must be prepared and determined to maintain peace.”

After this long lecture, Chen Le’s tone changed, “Take all these people away. Start interrogating them overnight.”

Within a short period, a dozen or so hooligans along with Director Gu and his men were all led away. Outside, the sirens of the police cars were turned on. Carrying these people, they sped off.

At this point, Chen Le walked up to Huang Xuyang, smiling softly. He quietly said, “Hello, Secretary Huang. We both serve Mayor Nie. From now on, we have to strengthen our connections.”
