Dispute at the Municipal Police Bureau

Wang Ye was still touring VDNKh when, elsewhere, several top officials at the Municipal Police Bureau received Lyudmila's report and urgently convened a meeting to discuss how to respond.

Lyudmila had driven to the Municipal Police Bureau herself to report to the director in person. She was afraid she would not be able to explain things clearly over the phone.

After hearing the report, the director found it rather troublesome, but he was not overly afraid.

For one thing, he had not caused this trouble himself. Even if Mikhail came looking for trouble, he would not pin it on him, would he?

For another, he was still the head of the Municipal Police Bureau!

He was no insignificant nobody. Even within the First Faction, he counted as someone with standing.

Although his rank could not compare with Mikhail's, no matter what, Mikhail had to show some consideration for Gryzlov or the Kremlin and refrain from making things difficult for him.

Besides, respect was mutual!

If Mikhail truly refused to give him any face and insisted on causing trouble, he was not afraid either!

The two of them were not even part of the same "system." If they really fell out, as long as the government was willing to protect him, what could the Duma do to him?

And besides, Mikhail was only a deputy speaker in the Duma. Above him was Gryzlov, the actual speaker!

Let it not be forgotten that Gryzlov was the leader of the First Faction...

That said, the director of the Municipal Police Bureau still did not want to fall out with Mikhail, the Duma's deputy speaker and currently the hottest rising star in politics, so this matter had to be handled carefully.

Thus, he summoned several of the bureau's main officials for an emergency meeting
