City Marshal

"Chutian, do you have confidence?" Prime Minister Hua cast his eyes on Chutian, his tone was very gentle, and the rest of the bosses also expressed their approval, obviously quite satisfied with Chutian's actions tonight, if it weren't for this kid Surrounding Zhou's family boldly, these two truckloads of priceless treasures are about to be lost abroad.

The eyes of Nangong Wuhen and other national security elites were also full of joy. It was a joy to see their master soaring. Moreover, they were deeply impressed by Chutian's courage and thoughtfulness. Chutian is probably No. 1 since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Ye Podi smiled lightly, looking quite relieved.

Chu Tian felt everyone's expectations, but his eyelids twitched when he thought of Mr. Su's advice, so he took a half-step forward and waved his hands back: "Thank you, Prime Minister Hua and the old man for your kindness. It's just that Chu has only been in Guoan for less than half a year. , I am not qualified to be the head of the National Security Bureau!"

"That's why I implore the prime minister to choose someone else, lest Chu Tian delay state affairs!"

Chutian did not accept the position of director general ecstatically, which made the bosses show more deep approval in their eyes, and they could see that Chutian did not put on a show. It is very common for young people to have the spirit of fighting and losing repeatedly, but they have the spirit of winning and winning. People who are not arrogant are like extinct dinosaurs.

So the bosses' affection for Chu Tian became stronger and stronger.

Prime Minister Hua seemed to have expected Chutian's refusal, so he walked up with a big laugh: "Chutian, the position of Director of National Security is for those who are capable. I fully believe that you have this ability. You just said that the national interest is the most important thing. Then you should accept Elder Zhou's proposal, lest people's hearts will be unstable!"

The rest of the bosses also nodded: "That's right! Chu Tian, ​​no matter how modest you are, you're just putting on airs!"

The corners of Chu Tian's mouth kept twitching: "But I..." Prime Minister Hua patted him on the shoulder, interrupting what he was going to say: "Don't be so, if you are afraid of gossip from the Guoan siblings, then you can act as the acting director for the time being and wait for you In the future, after making new achievements and then taking advantage of the trend to become a regular, is this a compromise plan head office? That's it!"

"And you are in charge of the National Security Bureau, so I can relax!"

"Otherwise, it would be too abrupt for the three parts to be listed under my name every day!"

Having said all this, Chutian could only accept it helplessly: "The prime minister and the old men are so loving, Chutian will temporarily serve as the director of national security. I, Chutian, promise here that if the prime minister has another The right candidate, I promise to let him out unconditionally!"

Chutian's promise made the bosses approve even more.

Not greedy for power, this kid is really good!Prime Minister Hua didn't bother with his words, and waved his secretary to tell him, "Give Chutian a letter of appointment early tomorrow!"

Then he looked at Chu Tian and added: "From tomorrow onwards, you will be in charge of all affairs of national security. If it is not a major national issue, you can make decisions yourself, and you don't need to find me for everything!"

Then he pulled Chu Tian over and joked, "I'm going to be out of breath too!"

Chu Tian took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Understood!"

After the matter was basically dealt with, Prime Minister Hua looked at Mr. Xi and said with a smile: "Old Xi, you will be in charge of the case tonight, and you will hand over these two carts of treasure to the treasury. Chu Tian and Lao Zhou had a festival. Besides, Du Zhong used to be the head of the National Security Bureau, so it would be inconvenient for Chu Tian to take over!"

Chu Tian knew in his heart that this was Prime Minister Hua's gift to Mr. Xi, and it was rumored that the latter would be the next successor, so letting him take charge of this case would be very helpful in the future, and Mr. Xi knew what it meant, so He didn't refuse: "Okay! You, the Prime Minister, have spoken out!"

"How can I not do it? Don't worry, I will report to the chairman soon!"

Everyone laughed lightly, only the Zhou family seemed miserable!Mr. Xi directly transferred a company from the army to escort two trucks of treasures, because Zhou Duzhong said that the smuggling gang had a large number of people, and it was better to escort them with heavy troops for safety reasons, and then asked people to escort Zhou Duzhong into the car as well. In Qincheng Prison, Wang Long and Liu Jun were also taken in one after another!Finally, Prime Minister Hua nodded slightly to Zhou Houde: "Old Zhou, go to bed early!"

"While you are free, take a good rest!"

Zhou Houde squeezed out a smile and nodded in response: "Thanks for your hard work!"

The rest of the bosses also shook hands with Zhou Houde to bid farewell. Although everyone was tense just now, they showed their demeanor after the dust settled, and everyone saw the ups and downs, so they didn't feel much about Zhou Houde's suspension of power. Who knows what will happen in the future? Will it be my turn?Chu Tian sighed secretly, this is the benefit of members of the power center, no matter how serious the crime is, they will not lose their heads. Could it be that there are still variables in this future situation?Thinking of this, he was a little haggard.

Chu Tian was the last one to bid farewell to Zhou Houde. The latter had no hatred or anger at this time, and instead sighed softly: "Chu Tian, ​​you are indeed amazing. Just two truckloads of treasures have damaged [-]% of the vitality of my Zhou family. Zhou Duzhong is not as good as you!" You, I am not as good as you!"

Zhou Houde's words are indeed from the bottom of his heart. Even if Prime Minister Hua gave him another chance to stand up, without five or six years of painstaking efforts, he would definitely not be able to recover to his current status. At his age, five years is already a hurdle. Maybe Retirement age just arrived.

Chu Tian bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully, "Mr. Zhou is over the top! Chu Tian doesn't want to play politics, but I have no choice because of my grievances with the Zhou family. If I don't deal with you tonight, Fifth Brother will deal with me someday. , so for the sake of myself and my brother, I can only strike first!"

Zhou Houde nodded: "I understand!"

Chu Tian bowed to him, and then turned around and walked out of the Zhou family's gate. Although the battle tonight was not a complete victory, it was still a great victory. Even if the Zhou family wanted to rise up to deal with him, it would not be effective within three to five years, let alone his own Now that he is in the position of director general, he has an extra layer of protective clothing on his body.

After getting into the car, Chu Tian dialed Mr. Su's phone number.

Mr. Su, who was waiting for the latest news tonight, didn't sleep, so Chu Tian was connected as soon as he heard the phone ring. He knew that the old man was concerned about tonight's events, so he narrated what happened in Zhou's Garden, and finally tried Asked: "Old man, I'm still the director after all!"

"How should I resign in the future?" Old Master Su laughed loudly, and replied very heartily: "No resignation! Today is different from the past. You used to have insufficient political achievements, prestige and qualifications, but tonight you will resign the entire office. Throwing out the treasure, and digging out the moth of the Zhou family, you have already met the conditions for being a superior!"

"In other words, this is also a reward from the central government!"

Pausing for a moment, old man Su continued to add: "I think the two carts of treasures you smashed have already made the central government relax a lot of guard against you. You must know that if you swallow these things all by yourself and go abroad, you can pass the cracked soil seal." Hou's life, but you don't have it, which is commendable!"

"You can be the bureau chief with peace of mind, but you still can't be arrogant!"

Chu Tian heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in response: "Understood!"

Then he remembered Premier Hua's punishment of the Zhou family, so he told Mr. Su about his doubts. The latter thought for a while, and finally sighed: "It seems that the rumors are true. Lao Hua didn't beat the Zhou family to death with a stick." , because we want to keep him to confess to the Dongying investigation team!"

Chu Tian was slightly stunned: "The Dongying investigation team?" Mr. Su nodded, his tone was flat: "On the night of Zhou Duzhong's banquet, the Kimura that Zhou Yafu killed had a lot of background!"

"In addition to being the military attache of the embassy, ​​he is also said to be a relative of the emperor!"

"That's why the emperor also sent his granddaughter to come with the delegation to investigate this matter himself!"

Chu Tian was stunned again, the emperor's granddaughter is here?This not only shows that Dongying attaches great importance to Kimura, but also shows that Dongying people are skeptical about the investigation of the Celestial Dynasty. It is no wonder that Zhou Duzhong destroyed the corpse but did not seal the mouth of the waiter, and the Dongying embassy found out clues.

Then they found the staff wearing the watch belts of Kimura and others at the crematorium, which made the Japanese embassy suspect that Kimura was killed. Chu Tian also heard that Zhou Duzhong was still irrational after the incident was revealed, insisting that the disappearance of Kimura and others had nothing to do with Zhou Yafu It doesn't matter.

The Japanese embassy did not overreact at the time, but unexpectedly sent an investigation team through the upper echelons.

"No wonder you want to keep the Zhou family, it turns out there are other uses!"

Chu Tian secretly sighed, and then hung up the phone.
