Chapter 795: Chapter 791 The Conspiracy to Rebel
âDirector Ye has returned,â Wang Xianzhong said to Miao Jian in a solemn tone.
Hearing this, Miao Jianâs expression lit up with joy as he exclaimed, âHaha, thatâs great!â
Wang Xianzhong frowned and asked, âAre you really that happy?â
âWhy shouldnât I be?â Miao Jian retorted, âWith Director Ye back, we wonât have to be pushed around by Director Zhao like slaves anymore.â
Wang Xianzhong pursed his lips and said, âHave you forgotten what weâve been doing all this time? Ye Fan isnât someone easy to talk to. Remember Chen Kunfei who opposed him? Heâs still in prison.â
Miao Jianâs smile faded.
âScared now, are you?â Wang Xianzhong continued, âNow you and I are in the same boat. Weâd better think of something fast. Otherwise, weâre definitely going to be dealt with by Ye Fan.â
âReally?â Miao Jian suddenly sneered, âIâm not in the same boat as you. I havenât done anything to betray Director Ye.â
âJust because you say so?â Wang Xianzhongâs face darkened as he replied, âDonât forget our initial agreement. Donât think you can deceive Ye Fan.â
Miao Jian stepped back, putting distance between him and Wang Xianzhong, and said, âYou did come to me with a proposal, and I agreed not to take sides in your feud with Xu Xiangli, thatâs all. But you seem to have forgotten, Xu Xiangli isnât Director Ye. As long as I donât get involved in your feud, whether I support Xu Xiangli or not, Iâm not wrong.â
âYou!â Wang Xianzhong trembled with anger, âYouâre so insidious! You contribute nothing and profit from othersâ efforts.â
Miao Jian shook his head and said, âDonât pin your own scheming on me. Director Ye promoted me, and I naturally know to be grateful. My relationship with Xu Xiangli is irrelevant, not attacking her or helping her is perfectly justified. Everyone wants to climb up, but the key is to focus on oneâs duties. I merely choose not to get involved in your irrelevant conflicts with Xu.â
âHolding me up for so long, I need to hurry back and see Director Ye,â Miao Jian said, then turned and strode away.
Wang Xianzhong stayed where he was, furious, resentful, and regretful, letting out a bitter laugh to the sky.
Hearing how definitively Miao Jian had distanced himself, Wang Xianzhong was left alone awaiting Ye Fanâs reckoning.
After standing dumbfounded for half an hour, Wang Xianzhong gathered his spirits again.
âYe Fan isnât so frightening,â he told himself, âHeâs young and has only worked at the police station for a few months, then been away for several more. His foundation is unstable, many donât respect him. Plus, Director Zhao has major issues with him, always undermining him. Why donât I seek a way through Director Zhao? Right, the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, Fan Feipeng, doesnât get along with him either. Maybe I could take him down now that heâs just returned!â
After pondering for a while, he concluded that approaching Zhao Lina directly wouldnât work due to his lower rank, so he decided to contact Fan Feipeng first.
With that thought in mind, he immediately took out his cellphone, scrolled to Fan Feipengâs number, and made the call.
The call connected after a few rings.
Wang Xianzhong immediately put on a smiling tone and said, âHehe, Captain Fan, hello. This is Wang Xianzhong.â
âOh, itâs you. What do you need?â Fan Feipeng asked indifferently. He wasnât in a good mood because Ye Fan had returned.
Besides hating Ye Fan, the main reason was that including himself, several deputy directors thought Ye Fan wouldnât be able to return and were eyeing his position, eager to take it over.
Wang Xianzhong said with a fawning smile, âItâs almost noon, I was thinking of inviting you, Captain Fan, for a meal. I wonder if you could honor me with your presence?â
âThisâŚâ Fan Feipeng hesitated for a moment, then burst into laughter. âHaha, no problem.â
He suddenly remembered that during the months Ye Fan was away, there had been some infighting in the public security team. Wang Xianzhong, the first deputy captain, did not accept Xu Xiangli as the head of the public security team. Just after Ye Fan had returned, Wang Xianzhong sought him out, probably because he was afraid of Ye Fan. If he could get something out of Wang Xianzhong, perhaps it could be used to bring Ye Fan down. Of course, he was happy to oblige.
Next, the two arranged a place to meet for the meal.
At twelve noon, Wang Xianzhong and Fan Feipeng sat in a private room of the appointed restaurant.
After the food and drinks were served, the door was locked from the inside, and Wang Xianzhong courteously toasted Fan Feipeng.
After eating a few bites, Wang Xianzhong said, âCaptain Fan, itâs been what, over half a year since we last sat down to eat together?â
âUh, about that,â Fan Feipeng took a sip of his drink and said, âPreviously, the criminal investigation team and the public security team often dined together. Unfortunately, after someone arrived, what should have been a close and collaborative relationship between the two teams became estranged.â
âExactly,â Wang Xianzhong said immediately, âSometimes I want to gather with the brothers from the criminal investigation team, but I always have to be cautious.â
After indirectly complaining about Ye Fan for three or four minutes, Wang Xianzhong finally sighed openly, âI wonât lie to you, Captain Fan, my situation isnât great.â
âOh? Whyâs that? Director Ye is back. Your public security team should have more confidence,â Fan Feipeng knowingly asked.
Wang Xianzhong gave a bitter smile. âThe one with more confidence is Xu Xiangli, not me. For all I know, I might be demoted.â
âThat canât be true. You havenât made any mistakes, have you?â Fan Feipeng continued to feign ignorance.
Wang Xianzhong said, âI havenât messed up in my work, but Iâve offended Xu Xiangli these past few months. Now that Director Ye is back, Xu Xiangli, with Director Ye backing her, is definitely going to target me. Director Ye will definitely side with Xu Xiangli.â
âOh. I see. Well, I did occasionally hear about some issues in your public security team,â Fan Feipeng chuckled. âXu Xiangli really isnât your equal in any way. She just lucked out by getting close to Director Ye. Itâs only natural for you not to accept her.â
âExactly!â Wang Xianzhong felt like he had found a kindred spirit, âThat Xu Xiangli is utterly useless. She was just a civil servant handling household registrations, a woman who knows nothing about public security management. If it werenât for Miao Jian and me helping her, she wouldnât be able to do anything! Itâs only because sheâs somewhat attractive and got close to Director Ye that she gained favor!â
Fan Feipeng kept a mild smile on his face until he heard Wang Xianzhong say Xu Xiangli used her femininity to get promoted by Ye Fan. His expression then changed immediately, asking, âIs Director Ye very close to Xu Xiangli?â
âVery close,â Wang Xianzhong confirmed. âWhen Director Ye first moved into the office dormitory, all the furniture, appliances, and bedding were personally arranged by Xu Xiangli. Also, Xu Xiangli often took advantage of reporting work to frequently visit Director Yeâs office.â
âOhâŚâ Fan Feipeng nodded his head slowly, guessing, âDirector Ye is so young, full of vigor, and Xu Xiangli is quite attractive. Do you think itâs possibleâŚâ
He paused there, looking at Wang Xianzhong, his implication clear.
Wang Xianzhong pondered and his heart began to race: If there was indeed something going on, just reporting it could, given Chief Zhaoâs attitude toward Ye Fan, perhaps bring Ye Fan down.
