"To put it more seriously, these people might even be colluding with Hou Liangping to frame Qi Tongwei!"

"Then tell me, who's the good guy and who's the bad guy?!"

"check!"

"Keep investigating! Check the bank statements of these whistleblowers and bring them all back to me!"

"Interrogate them one by one!"

"I refuse to believe I won't find out something fishy!"

Clearly, another very assertive leader arrived at the scene and clashed with the previous leader who wanted to protect Hou Liangping.

Both sides refused to give in to each other.

Only the members of the review team were completely numb.

Don't know what to do.

Whose advice should he take? These two are the ones who can control his hat!

On the other end of the phone.

When Hou Liangping heard that someone was protecting him, he breathed a sigh of relief and guessed that it must be the Zhong family that was pulling the strings. After so many years of marriage, although Zhong Xiaoai was disappointed, she still did not give up on him.

But wait for another person to appear.

Hou Liangping's heart, which had just been at ease, suddenly jumped into his throat again.

These things must not be investigated!

Once investigated, he might be exposed! Although he can deny it to the death, the impact on him will last a lifetime!

Hou Liangping now desperately hopes for a savior to appear.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Meanwhile, Zhong Xiaoai was also actively trying to persuade her father.

"Dad, you can't do this. You can't give up on Liangping."

"He only made a small mistake."

"Can't we just pretend nothing happened?"

Zhong Xiaoai spoke lightly, just as she had described Liang Lu's use of her father's power to suppress Qi Tongwei as a small act of power-wielding capriciousness.

She simply couldn't empathize with these people at the bottom of society.

In her eyes, even a little bit of arbitrariness in power is enough to make these people unable to turn their lives around for the rest of their lives!

If it weren't for Qi Tongwei kneeling down.

He will spend the rest of his life living in the mountains!

In contrast, Hou Liangping's minor mistake this time—he was just a small-time anti-corruption bureau chief, yet he imprisoned the director of the public security department, who was also a deputy provincial-level official, without any explanation.

Furthermore, they are suspected of manipulating whistleblowers!

This cannot be explained by a small mistake.

This is an absolute matter of principle!

"Dad, I know you've done your best. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection isn't something you can completely control."

"But is there really no other way?"

Zhong Xiaoai is now at a point where there's no turning back. She's middle-aged, and the relationship between husband and wife is a fait accompli.

Within the organization, getting a divorce and remarrying is not an easy thing.

Every item will be reviewed!

If Zhong Xiaoai gets divorced and then marries someone else, it might leave a stain on her record.

Especially since she is a lesbian.

This makes things even more complicated.

Therefore, if you can avoid giving up on Hou Liangping, it's best not to.

However, if there really is no other way...

Giving up Hou Liangping isn't out of the question; it's just a matter of getting a divorce and remarrying. With the Zhong family's connections, who would dare to say anything?

Even if Li Dakang and his ex-wife divorce and cut ties, wouldn't everything be fine?

Moreover, Li Dakang's ex-wife committed a crime, and this happened before Li Dakang had even divorced her.

And this time.

There seemed to be a pause on the other end of the phone before another call was answered.

After a while.

I just told Zhong Xiaoai some news over the phone.

After hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai...

Immediately overjoyed!

"Really? Dad, Liangping is definitely alright now!"

“But we have a grudge against the Zhao family, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have sent the two of us to Handong, and you wouldn’t have supported Sha Ruijin in dealing with Gao Yuliang and the others.”

"Times have changed?"

"I understand! Zhao Lichun is now severely weakened and no longer a threat to us. In fact, after he has suffered a painful blow, we can win him over."

"On the contrary, the forces behind Qi Tongwei are now coming on strong."

"There are no absolute enemies in the world, only absolute interests! We and the Zhao family can join forces to strike at the force behind Qi Tongwei that wants to protect him!"

"Let's start with Qi Tongwei!"

"Then Liangping will be safe, right? Zhao Lichun will also lend a hand."

"There's one more condition?"

"what?!"

"They want us to release Zhao Ruilong?! How is that possible?!"

Chapter 28 Zhao Ruilong is released!

When Zhong Xiaoai heard the conditions proposed by Zhao Lichun, her first reaction was that it was impossible.

Zhao Ruilong's arrest is based on conclusive evidence!

How could he possibly be released?

But then I thought about it again. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to be released, but now the Zhong family and the Zhao family are united and not trying to trip each other up, and Sha Ruijin is supported by the Zhong family behind the scenes.

It can be said.

The entire Handong region is their territory.

Releasing Zhao Ruilong is as easy as lifting a finger!

It's not difficult at all.

As for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, with the two sides working together, they are not exactly all-powerful, but they certainly wield immense power!

There's no need to care so much.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Hou Liangping listened to the argument taking place.

I felt very uneasy.

I don't know what fate awaits me.

But just as the argument on the other end of the phone was getting heated...

A calm and powerful voice rang out: "Alright, stop arguing. The review isn't even finished yet, and you're already in a hurry to make a judgment?"

"Where are your principles? I think you're all biased!"

"Review it as you see fit, but remember, don't let personal bias get in the way. Submit the review report to me later."

"I will see how things go and decide whether to conduct a more in-depth investigation."

When this person appeared, the two stopped arguing. Clearly, this was someone who truly had absolute authority in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!

But this person speaks with an air of righteousness.

Hou Liangping, however, sensed something different. What did he mean by saying he would decide whether to conduct a deeper investigation depending on the situation?

Logically speaking.

The Hou Liangping incident deserves a more thorough investigation!

And it must be thoroughly and strictly investigated!

But the other party said something very meaningful, and did not allow the reviewers to bring their personal biases.
