Chapter 1415: Chapter 1107: Seizing the Opportunity to Cause Trouble_2

Once they arrived at the Mansion, Wang Ye instructed the servants to prepare a cold dish platter, and of course, Vodka.

This was specifically requested by Grezlov, although Wang Ye originally thought red wine would suffice...

But today Grezlov seemed quite depressed, in a bad mood, wanting to drown his sorrows with Vodka, so Wang Ye just went along with it.

Indeed, after a few drinks, Grezlov started speaking without filters, cursing the Kremlin for being ungrateful. He had strongly supported their rise to power, but now even two terms seemed not enough for them, pushing forward his own protégé.

What was the intention behind this!

He then cursed Gavriil for being a "hound" of the Kremlin, secretly doing many disgraceful deeds for them.

Of course, Medvedev couldn’t escape criticism either; Grezlov cursed him for being an opportunist, barely surfacing yet already becoming arrogant, disrespecting even such a veteran faction member...

Wang Ye could only shake his head and wryly smile, knowing such words from Grezlov were safe only here and wouldn’t leak out.

In another place, maybe even in Grezlov’s own home, these words might reach the Kremlin by the same night...

The next day, the incident of Grezlov’s assassination really started to ferment, becoming the focus of discussion among personnel from various departments.

After all, the incident was significant; considering Grezlov’s status, if even someone like him couldn’t ensure personal safety, then what about others?

Thus, everyone empathetically agreed that a thorough investigation was necessary to uncover who was behind all this.

Naturally, everyone was also privately speculating about who wanted Grezlov dead.

No one was naïve; knowing the recent tensions due to the General Election, Grezlov had seriously offended Medvedev’s faction, making him the prime suspect for orchestrating this incident...

Inside the Duma Building, Congressmen were extremely agitated.

Even though Wang Ye was now the real "soul of the Duma," and Grezlov as the Duma Speaker was about to resign, he was still the Speaker!

Assassinating the Duma Speaker was a direct provocation to the entire Duma!

Even when the Duma lacked real power in the past, the Duma Members’ status was still very "noble," as they represented the public opinion of the nation.

Any department with actual power had to at least show respect to the Duma on the surface, and Congressmen had significant social influence.

Not to mention that in recent years the Duma’s status and power had been growing.

If someone dared to attack the Duma Speaker so brazenly, it was a direct disrespect to Congressmen, therefore, all Duma Members believed this incident demanded serious attention and should not be taken lightly.

It concerned the personal safety of every Congressman, not just Grezlov alone.

In the morning, as soon as Wang Ye arrived at the Duma Building, he instructed his assistant Nova to notify all Moscow-based Duma Members to convene an Emergency Meeting to discuss the assassination incident involving Speaker Grezlov.

As the Vice Speaker overseeing the Duma’s routine operations, he had the authority to call this kind of temporary meeting.

Of course, this had been discussed with Grezlov the night before.

Grezlov too arrived early at the Duma Building today, ready to speak at the Emergency Meeting, and also to initiate a procedure for holding government departments accountable together with Wang Ye!

The Emergency Meeting was scheduled for the afternoon, as many Congressmen don’t routinely work at the Duma Building and needed time to arrive.

As Wang Ye was waiting for the temporary meeting to start, he received a call from the Kremlin, from Gavriil.

Notify him to go to the Kremlin immediately, as it is another impromptu Emergency Meeting to discuss the assassination attempt on Grezlov, hosted by the Kremlin itself.

According to Gavriil, this meeting is a small, closed-door session, involving only the top figures of the Moscow political arena.

There aren’t many attendees, only the Father-in-law, Gavriil, Medvedev, Wang Ye, Grezlov, and Minister Yefrogen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as Korokolli from the Safety Bureau!

Altogether only seven people, and if Minister Yefrogen is also counted, these are essentially the peak powers of Moscow!

Grezlov went to the Kremlin together with Wang Ye, currently being very cautious. Even attending a meeting at the Kremlin, he remained guarded.

In a meeting room in the Kremlin, upon seeing Grezlov and Wang Ye enter, Father-in-law and the others got up to greet them warmly. Father-in-law took Grezlov’s arm, showing great concern, expressing his shock upon hearing the news, and insisting he will urge the relevant departments to thoroughly investigate the matter and capture the culprits behind the scenes to give Grezlov an explanation!

Grezlov kept a normal composure, showing none of the outrage he had displayed at Wang Ye’s house, aware that if Medvedev or someone from the Kremlin had orchestrated this, it would be better to not expose them now and to seek revenge after winning the General Election.

Medvedev seemed a bit uneasy, probably aware that no matter whether he was involved or not, in many eyes, he was the prime suspect...

...

Once everyone had arrived and taken their seats, Father-in-law said gravely:

"The incident that happened last night, you all must be aware of too, frankly, I’m utterly shocked!

In Moscow, our capital, such a severely malicious attack occurred.

Moreover, the target was one of our highest leaders, the Duma Speaker Grezlov!

This is something I cannot tolerate. Hence, I demand the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tackle this case with the utmost speed and efficiency.

If necessary, Korokolli, your Safety Bureau must also provide the necessary support.

I’ll make it clear from now, regardless of whoever or whichever department is involved, we must investigate thoroughly to the very end!"

His words were resolute and direct.

However, no one present was easy to fool, especially Grezlov, so as soon as Father-in-law finished, he immediately spoke:

"Truly, after last night’s incident, I too was greatly shocked and regretful.

Because I could never imagine that such an incident could happen in Moscow, which is absolutely unacceptable.

It’s not just because I was the target; it would be the same no matter who it was.

This also reflects the severe dereliction of duty of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!

I would like Minister Yefrogen to explain why this incident occurred, and now that a whole night has passed, have you caught the gunman?"

Everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned towards Yefrogen.

He was pale, sweating on his forehead, his lips quivered a few times before he painfully said, "The car has been found, but... but the gunman... not found."

Grezlov scoffed coldly, saying nothing more.

Wang Ye, dissatisfied, said, "Minister Yefrogen, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has such a large finance budget annually, I remember that these past two years even a special fund was approved to equip you with new gear and vehicles. With so much investment, where has all the money gone? Why can’t you even capture the gunman, and this is in Moscow! If it were in another city, a remote area, then one can imagine the efficiency of your department’s work."

Korokolli also chimed in sharply, "Ah, what’s happening with the Ministry of Internal Affairs now! When I was the minister, Moscow wasn’t as chaotic as now."

Grezlov took the lead in complaining, followed by Wang Ye and Korokolli focusing their attack, and all the blame pointed towards Yefrogen!
