Urban Super Soldier King

Chapter 1031: Chapter 1031: Succumbing to Power

Seeing the expression on Gao Zhitao’s face, Xiang Yu already knew that this young man must have encountered setbacks.

Although Gao Zhitao was the police chief, occupying a high position, he had not climbed up from the grassroots. Although he had made some achievements, the main reason was still because of Gao Mantang.

Therefore, in the political sphere, Gao Zhitao was actually a blank slate. Although he had some ability, when it came to playing tricks, he was not a match for those politicians.

"Xiang Yu, why don’t they understand? The city is facing danger now, and they’re still concerned about his political achievements." Gao Zhitao said indignantly.

Xiang Yu had weathered the storms and was not a hot-blooded youth. Regarding this matter, he could think rationally.

After all, the other side did not know about the existence of the Falcon Organization. They still thought Gao Zhitao was going through the motions. Since it hindered economic development, naturally, it needed to be stopped.

Seeing Xiang Yu silent, Gao Zhitao turned his head to look at him and said, "What do you think we should do?" noveldrama

Xiang Yu took a sip of water and smiled, "What else can we do? As long as you’re in the chief’s position, you have to do your job properly."

Gao Zhitao was a little anxious and said, "I have a premonition that my position as chief is about to be lost. When the new chief takes office, they will definitely lift this state, and the city will be in danger then."

Xiang Yu sighed quietly. This matter was indeed somewhat troublesome. If Gao Zhitao were really to be removed, then they would have to rely on their Heavenly Dragon Gang to investigate in secret.

The Heavenly Dragon Gang is an underground criminal force in society, unable to operate openly like the police, such as conducting investigations or stopping vehicles, which is a disadvantage for them.

"We can only do our best, and leave the rest to fate." Xiang Yu said.

Xiang Yu was not necessarily a good person; he was merely fulfilling his responsibility as a soldier.

If the local government could fully cooperate, he believed the city would be peaceful and would develop in a positive direction.

But if the local government didn’t cooperate and insisted on opposing them, then he had no choice but to let things take their course.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s calm and unaffected demeanor, Gao Zhitao became somewhat anxious. Furrowing his brows, he said, "Think of a way. If they really come here, they will definitely retaliate against this city."

It was clear that Gao Zhitao was a conscientious and responsible chief. Although he hadn’t been in the position long, he had already taken on the role.

Xiang Yu didn’t understand the workings of the political arena, so he looked at Gao Zhitao and said, "You can try asking your grandfather for help; other than that, I don’t know."

In the end, Gao Zhitao could only nod. He stood up, preparing to find Gao Mantang. But at that moment, his phone suddenly rang; it was a deputy chief calling.

"Chief Gao, a red-tape directive has been issued from above. They hope you can take a look at it." said the deputy chief.

"I understand." Gao Zhitao replied before hanging up. If it was the superior’s directive, it was undoubtedly about dealing with his affairs.

After hanging up, Gao Zhitao gave Xiang Yu a bitter smile and said, "I didn’t expect it to be so fast."

Xiang Yu just smiled back, not knowing what to say. He was glad he wasn’t in the political arena, or else it would be maddening.

Comparatively, he still preferred his current state, carefree and doing whatever he pleased.

After Gao Zhitao left, Xiang Yu called Wang Ze, telling him to inform the brothers to pay attention to strangers in the near future, then explained the situation with the Falcon Organization.

After listening, Wang Ze took it seriously and quickly passed on the orders.

On Gao Zhitao’s side, he returned to his unit. It was supposed to be after work hours, but there were many sedans parked at the unit. The license plates indicated that these people were from the provincial party committee.

When Gao Zhitao arrived at his office, a deputy chief hurriedly ran over, holding a red-tape directive in his hand.

Gao Zhitao took a general look. It was a notice stating that the subordinates must unconditionally comply with the tasks assigned by the superiors, otherwise the consequences would be severe.

Clearly, this red-tape directive was specifically aimed at Gao Zhitao, perhaps laying the groundwork for his removal.

Holding the document, Gao Zhitao just smiled and tossed it aside, then headed towards the meeting room.

At this time, there were eight people seated in the meeting room. They were all members of the provincial party committee, but the provincial secretary and governor were not present; the deputy secretary was leading instead.

Deputy Secretary Qi Shengli gave Gao Zhitao a rather indifferent look upon seeing him enter. It was the second time he had met Gao Zhitao.

After entering, Gao Zhitao didn’t say much and directly found a seat to sit down.

"Now that everyone is here, let’s start the meeting." Qi Shengli said.

These committee members were brought by Qi Shengli; he intended to create pressure for Gao Zhitao.

"After research by the provincial secretary’s office, we have formulated a No. 1 red-tape directive. I believe everyone has also seen it. Since the directive has been issued, it forms a system; complying with the superior and accepting the tasks arranged by the superior is very important."

The fact that Qi Shengli managed to reach this level naturally spoke of his complexity. He sat there talking non-stop, most of which were subtle hints directed at Gao Zhitao.

The committee members sitting there were all called over by Qi Shengli, and they kept nodding in agreement.

If they were just discussing the directive, there was no need to have Gao Zhitao come over.

Sitting there, Gao Zhitao felt increasingly sleepy; such meetings were indeed uninteresting.

Finally, Qi Shengli gazed at Gao Zhitao and said, "As everyone knows, the economic development of the city has been declining recently, and the government’s revenue is decreasing. The main culprit behind this is the obstruction from the public security system, represented by Comrade Gao Zhitao. I don’t know your true intentions, but you must clearly understand that development is the first priority and the cornerstone for advancing all stability..."

Qi Shengli continued to speak, gradually pointing the finger at Gao Zhitao.

"Chief Gao, we’ve talked to you before. Now, the reason for gathering the committee members is to hear your opinion once again." Qi Shengli said.

Gao Zhitao knew that this was a trap they had set for him. With the recently announced directive, if he stood up right now to oppose Qi Shengli, these people could remove his chief position on the spot.

Gao Zhitao was not eager for this position, but the current situation was severe. If he stayed in this position, he could maximize the safety of the city.

"I fully agree with the arrangement of the provincial party committee." Gao Zhitao raised his head and said to everyone around.

As soon as he spoke, the surrounding area fell silent. What was going on here? How did this young man make such a sudden turn?

Gao Zhitao’s attitude caught Qi Shengli off guard. He had already prepared his script, which Gao Zhitao completely disrupted.

"What did you say?" Qi Shengli asked incredulously, looking at Gao Zhitao.

"I comply with the arrangement of the provincial party committee." Gao Zhitao repeated loudly...
