Upon learning that Xu Qianli had been taken away by the personnel of the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee under "shuanggui," a combined investigation and detention procedure, Lin Feng's spirits immediately surged. He leaped into action, summoning the cadres of Qingshan Town and fervently discussed the construction of clean government, insinuating that Xu Qianli, that grandson, would not be returning and that all the cadres should now lean toward him.
Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. Led by Si Cheng, a group of cadres did not give him any face.
Du Rumeng was unabashed in pointing out that he was merely a Deputy Town Chief and had no right to convene a meeting of all cadres in Qingshan Town. It was just foolish commotion, and she refused to play along.
Du Rumeng directly walked out on him, followed by Si Cheng, Zhang Tao, and others, who left one by one, striking a harsh blow to Lin Feng's pride and infuriating him.
