Chapter 1414: Chapter 1107: Seizing the Opportunity to Cause Trouble

They...

Wang Ye asked calmly, "Speaker, do you mean..."

Grezlov sighed deeply and shook his head, saying:

"Though there is no evidence, I can probably guess who the mastermind is.

You know, Misha, during all these years I’ve been in politics, I’ve been decent enough and not made any real enemies.

Even during Moscow’s most chaotic years, I never faced any personal safety issues.

Why have I encountered it now?

Isn’t it because I joined the General Election and obstructed the path to power for certain people?

Right, do you know why I went to have dinner at the Kremlin tonight?"

"I don’t know," said Wang Ye.

"Heh, there were four of us at dinner tonight, aside from me, there was Medvedev and those two from the Kremlin.

Throughout the meal, they kept trying to persuade me to give up continuing in the General Election, using factional interests as leverage, hoping I would consider the bigger picture and step down voluntarily.

I was getting irritated. Oh, Medvedev is a faction man, but am I not?

Then why can’t he step aside for me and fully support my election!

And in all aspects of comparison, Medvedev does not qualify to be mentioned in the same breath as me.

So the conversation wasn’t pleasant, I left midway, just walked out.

Then on the way, I encountered the gunman’s attack. Now you tell me, who is most motivated and suspicious for this Thing!"

Grezlov said with indignation.

Wang Ye fell silent, thinking if he were Grezlov, he would certainly think the same.

After a moment of silence, all Wang Ye could do was to offer consolation: "Now we’re still not certain it was... they who did it, perhaps it was... it was..., ah, I have no clue either, I hope the Ministry of Internal Affairs catches the gunman, to see who is really behind it."

That’s all Wang Ye could say. He couldn’t just curse at the Kremlin and Medvedev in front of Grezlov...

Grezlov chuckled coldly, "Hmph, I bet you they won’t catch the gunman, after all, the power institutions are all in their hands, it was their own plan, how could they actually catch the gunman. Honestly, even if they did catch someone, I wouldn’t believe it. It would definitely be someone made to take the fall, they might even deliberately frame someone else to set them up!"

Alright, Grezlov is now convinced that it’s either the Kremlin or Medvedev trying to take him out, having completely lost trust.

"So... Speaker, what do you plan to do about this Thing?" Wang Ye asked curiously.

Grezlov pondered for a moment, then with a grim face said:

"For now, let’s not think about catching the mastermind, but I’ll make them pay!

That Yefrogen is Medvedev’s loyal follower, right? I’ll use this Shooting Incident to have him removed from his position!

Also, I need the Kremlin to know that we in the Duma, I, Grezlov, am not a person who can be butchered at will!

If they want to move against me, they will have to pay the price.

Once I’ve truly won the election, I’ll pursue this matter to the end...

By the way, Misha, for this accountability issue with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I need you to step up and speak out. After all, I am a party involved, it’s not too convenient for me to speak directly.

But don’t worry, I will use all my connections to support you.

Plus, everyone knows that I will soon resign as Duma Speaker to join the General Election. You are the real power broker in the Duma, so it’s more appropriate for you to show up."

It seems Grezlov is also a smart man, knowing that at times like this when under someone’s roof, one has to bow their head, it’s not possible to expose the real mastermind behind the curtain, but even so, he wants to make sure the other side suffers a dumb loss!

The issue of public safety falls under the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and its head is one of Medvedev’s confidants. Since the real culprit can’t be tracked down, you, the Minister, should resign and take the blame.

It’s like cutting off one of Medvedev’s arms, quite ruthless.

Of course, if Medvedev won the election, he could bring Yefrogen back to power with just a word.

But at least during the election period, the key Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is no longer under Medvedev’s control, which might save Grezlov from a lot of trouble.

It could also serve as a warning to those who support Medvedev, showing them that working for Medvedev comes with great risks, and that once trouble arises, Medvedev can’t save them!

Wang Ye nodded decisively, "Okay, leave this Thing to me. The Ministry of Internal Affairs must give us a satisfactory explanation, or they won’t be let off easily. However, I would like the current First Deputy Minister to succeed as the next Minister."

"Vladimir, right? No problem with him, a few years ago when he was the Moscow City bureau chief, he managed the public safety quite well. I believe after he becomes Minister of Internal Affairs, he will thoroughly improve our domestic security issues," Grezlov agreed without hesitation.

In the course of their conversation, the two completed an "exchange of interests."

That is, Wang Ye would take the lead in seeking justice for Grezlov, making the Kremlin suffer a silent loss by "taking out" Minister Yefrogen, essentially cutting off one of Medvedev’s "arms".

In return, the position of Minister of Internal Affairs would be taken over by Wang Ye’s confidant Vladimir, who was already the First Deputy Minister and a logical successor to the Minister’s position, making it difficult for others to find fault.
