Li Dakang carefully considered his words before saying, "Many of them are experienced veterans. They may be a bit slow at computer operations and understanding new legal provisions, but when it comes to solving cases, arresting people, and maintaining stability, they can really step up in critical moments!"
"Was the punishment too harsh this time?"
"Suspension for reflection, this..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the calm and unquestionable voice of Special Envoy Mu Chen.
"Secretary Dakang."
Mu Chen's voice came clearly into Li Dakang's ears through the receiver.
"I know how tough it is at the grassroots level, and I know how hard veteran police officers work."
Mu Chen's tone was flat.
But every single word carries immense weight!
"But they are not the only ones who have it tough."
"Is it easy for Zhang Binghe, who was wrongfully imprisoned and whose life was ruined?"
"Is it easy for that villager who was forced to resist but faces a heavy sentence or even the death penalty?"
“A person, a lifetime, or even a family can be ruined just like that.”
"Is it harder for those who are held accountable, or for those who are wronged?"
Mu Chen's voice suddenly rose a little.
He gradually became serious and said:
"We sit in this position, wielding power, not to show sympathy for the hardships of our subordinates and turn a blind eye to the difficulties faced by ordinary people!"
We must dare to admit our mistakes!
"Secretary Dakang, you must not forget your original aspirations just because you have your own difficulties!"
Li Dakang held the phone, wanting to say something more.
But in the end, he couldn't say anything.
Yes, it's tough for those at the bottom, but what about the innocent civilians? Who will take responsibility for their lives?
A barely audible sigh came from the phone.
Li Dakang's pleas for leniency were all silenced by Mu Chen's pointed and resounding rebuttal.
He was left speechless.
"I understand, Comrade Special Envoy."
Li Dakang's voice carried an unprecedented heaviness and a hint of weariness.
He said, "Our municipal party committee will resolutely carry out this order."
"I will personally go to the Municipal Bureau to announce it."
After saying that, Li Dakang hung up the phone.
Leaning back in the wide chair, staring at the ceiling, he remained silent for a long time.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Li Dakang stood up and walked towards the Municipal Bureau.

Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, Director's Office.
Zhao Donglai sat in his office, his face serious, waiting silently.
He knew the consequences of his actions.
And just then.
The door was pushed open.
Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, walked in alone.
Li Dakang's face lacked its usual sternness and looked somewhat tired.
He glanced at Zhao Donglai with a complicated expression.
Zhao Donglai immediately stood up.
stood up.
He looked at Li Dakang and said, "Secretary Dakang."
The two stood opposite each other.
There was no answer.
Li Dakang waved his hand, gesturing for Zhao Donglai to sit down.
Instead of heading to the head of the table as usual, he pulled up a chair nearby and sat down.
After a while of silence.
Just now he said:
"Comrade Donglai."
"As instructed by Special Envoy Comrade Mu Chen, and with the unanimous approval of the Provincial Party Committee..."
Li Dakang paused for a moment.
Then he finished speaking: "Effective immediately, you are temporarily suspended from your duties for self-reflection and will no longer serve as the Director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau."
After he finished speaking, the entire office fell into a deathly silence!
And on the opposite side.
Zhao Donglai actually had a premonition, but he was too proud to admit his mistake.
But they simply couldn't bring themselves to let their subordinates be held accountable.
Therefore, he had no choice but to confront them head-on.
There was no other choice.
But if you choose to fight it out, you have to accept the outcome.
And on the opposite side.
Li Dakang continued, "The work of the Municipal Bureau will be temporarily overseen by the Deputy Director."
"Regarding the retrial and accountability work in the Zhang Binghe case and another case, we must unconditionally cooperate with the court and strictly implement the requirements from above!"
"There must be no delays, and absolutely no obstruction!"
After Li Dakang finished speaking, he slowly stood up, not looking at Zhao Donglai's expression, and turned to walk out.
Li Dakang's departing figure carried a hint of desolation.
In truth, he also wanted to protect Zhao Donglai. But this time, Zhao Donglai had indeed made a terrible mistake!
Making mistakes is not terrible.
What's the most frightening thing? It's not admitting your mistakes!
The office door closed gently.
Inside the room, only a suffocating silence remained.

Special Commissioner's Office, Jingzhou City, Handong Province.
Mu Chen stood by the window.
Looking out the window at the lights gradually lighting up Jingzhou.
The secretary behind him reported softly, "Secretary Dakang has personally gone to the Municipal Bureau to announce it."
"Comrade Zhao Donglai... has left his post."
Mu Chen gave a calm "hmm".
His gaze was deep as he stared intently at the twinkling lights in the distance.
Beneath these myriad lights lie the lives of countless ordinary people, but what guarantees their livelihood?
One aspect is the economy.
On the other hand, there's fairness!
Chapter 301 The Law Shows No Mercy! A Task for Qi Tongwei!
The decision to suspend Zhao Donglai from his post and make him reflect on his actions was certainly difficult.
However, compared to the people of Handong as a whole, this decision, however difficult, must be made.
We must take down Zhao Donglai.
How can we make other municipal bureaus in other cities realize the importance of improving the quality of frontline law enforcement personnel?
