Chapter 1153 Everyone has their own thoughts
Zhao Lu put down the phone and began pacing around the office. After thinking for ten minutes, Zhao Lu finally made a decision: he wouldn't tell Gao Kai about this!
Zhao Lu understood perfectly well that since Zhou Jun had already confessed, he wouldn't just talk about himself; he would definitely expose Gao Kai as well.
Because he had taken Zhou Jun to parties organized by Gao Kai more than once, where they ate, drank, and had a good time together!
Moreover, Zhou Jun organized many of the carefree moments, so Zhou Jun will definitely implicate Gao Kai!
If Gao Kai is told now that Zhou Jun has already dropped the matter, Gao Kai might have to cut his losses and save himself. And the only one left to cut his losses is himself, the district head! No one else is a good enough substitute!
How could Zhao Lu allow himself to become the scapegoat? "No! I can't just wait like this!" Zhao Lu suddenly thought of something, immediately grabbed the office phone, and called home.
"Right now, pack all the cash in the house into a suitcase and take it to that old house I told you about before. Remember, don't touch anything in there unless absolutely necessary, understand?" Zhao Lu said to his wife with a serious expression and anxious tone.
"What happened?" Zhao Lu's wife asked, her face full of questions.
"Never mind that, just do as I say. Don't tell anyone, understand? Only you and I know about this. Don't let a third person know! This is your livelihood!" Zhao Lu said anxiously.
"Husband, don't scare me!" His wife, upon hearing this, realized it was clearly a prelude to his death and immediately burst into tears.
"Stop crying, just do as I say! Remember, don't let anyone else know about this! Do you hear me! You can't tell anyone!" Zhao Lu instructed before immediately hanging up the phone.
Then Zhao Lu stood up, took out his key, opened his drawer, took out a file bag, and emptied its contents.
Several keys were found lying on the table. Zhao Lu picked them up and walked out of the office to the toilet. He went to the last stall, an old-fashioned toilet with a drain in the entire facility.
Zhao Lu took out his key and threw it into the sewer. He breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the key disappear.
These are the keys to two apartments I secretly bought. There's a considerable amount of cash inside. As long as I don't say anything, no one will know, and keeping this secret will help mitigate my punishment.
Zhao Lu came out of the restroom and hadn't even returned to his office when he was stopped by a voice behind him.
“District Chief Zhao, we are from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. We need you to come back with us to explain some issues!” A middle-aged man walked up to Zhao Lu and said.
Looking at the three people standing in front of him, Zhao Lu could only sigh helplessly and obediently follow them away.
The fact that Zhao Lu was taken away became a topic of conversation throughout the district government.
"The district head has been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission! Do you know why?" A middle-aged man sat behind his desk, smoking a cigarette as he asked the woman opposite him.
"Hehe, Brother Wang, I don't know. Do you know?" the woman asked with a smile.
"I don't know why the district chief was taken away, but I do know that at noon, the director of Zhou Shuizi Airport Police Station was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission!" the man called Brother Wang said with a smile.
"Really? Why?" the woman asked curiously.
"I heard it was because his brother-in-law harassed some women from out of town, and the police did nothing. I heard that the army had to be dispatched to rescue the women. No sooner had the army left than the Discipline Inspection Commission took Zhou Jun away!" Brother Wang said, as if he had inside information.
"Oh dear, I heard that our district chief and Director Zhou have a really good relationship! It seems that our district chief has been implicated by Director Zhou!" The woman's face was full of regret for her district chief.
"Haha, Xiao Zhang, you're wrong. Our district chief and Director Zhou are just small fry! They're both his men!" Brother Wang pointed upwards with one finger.
"Who is it, Brother Wang?" The woman looked at Brother Wang with great curiosity. Unfortunately, the man only smiled and didn't say anything more, remaining incredibly mysterious!
When Zhao Lu was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, the municipal Discipline Inspection Commission also took Gao Kai away! Gao Kai's departure caused a stir throughout Lushun City!
On the one hand, everyone was surprised that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection took Gao Kai away. After all, he was a provincial-level cadre; if anyone were to be taken away, it should be someone from the province, right?
On the other hand, many people know that Gao Kai has a big shot in the province behind him. Although that big shot has retired, the relationship is still there. How could he let Gao Kai be taken away?
Moreover, news soon spread that not only Gao Kai was taken away, but also Zhao Lu, the district head of Ganjingzi District, as well as several deputy directors of the municipal bureau and several officials from the district were taken away by the discipline inspection commission at the same time.
This sparked a lot of speculation, especially since some people knew that Zhou Jun, who was taken away first at noon, was followed by this group of high-ranking officials in the afternoon. Everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"This is going to be an earthquake!" Many people had this thought in their minds. Now, when people in government offices leave work, there is no longer the usual laughter and chatter; they all leave their offices in a hurry.
Those with ambition should quickly find connections and pull strings to find out the details and see if they can gain anything from this.
The news of Gao Kai's arrest quickly reached the ears of the retired bigwig.
"What exactly happened? Didn't you hear anything?" Wang Qun looked at his daughter, his heart aching.
She has three sons and only one daughter, who has been spoiled since childhood. So when it comes to marriage, she willfully chose a man from a humble background, and no one could stop her.
"Dad, I heard people talking in the city that it's because one of his police station chiefs' brothers-in-law was arrested for harassing a woman, and that's how he got implicated! You have to save Gao Kai!" Wang Hui said, crying as she looked at her father.
"Alright, you go home first, I'll find out what's going on!" Wang Qun said helplessly.
Within a few phone calls, Wang Qun had quickly grasped the whole story. Having understood the situation, Wang Qun made a wise choice.
“Daughter, there’s no way to resolve this. You should get a divorce from Gao Kai as soon as possible!” Wang Qun said.
"What? Dad? Why?" Wang Hui asked in shock.
“Although this wasn’t Gao Kai’s own fault, his subordinate offended the Zhao family in Beijing, which we can’t afford to offend! So we’d better just bear with it!” Wang Qun said helplessly.
"The Zhao family of the capital? Which Zhao family?" Although Wang Hui was love-struck, she wasn't stupid. She understood the vast difference between the Zhao family in the capital and herself.
“Zhao the Tiger!” Wang Qun said with a bitter expression.
