Sha Ruijin was furious about the tall plant's regeneration.

On the banks of Longhu River, Pei Yihong stared intently at the fishing float in his hand, seemingly oblivious to what his secretary had said, remaining remarkably calm.

Pei Yihong wasn't in a hurry, but his secretary was getting anxious. He frowned and urged, "Director, the special task force, along with Tian Guofu and Lin Changhe, has already set off for Handong Province. They'll be off the highway first thing tomorrow morning."

"I've seen the departure list. In addition to Sun Liancheng, Shen Feng, Li Yunfei and other relevant personnel, Sang He from Dongfang City is also here. The official purpose is to inspect the new energy projects that have been implemented in Handong Province."

"The situation is very unfavorable for us now!"

At this moment, Pei Yihong finally reacted. He reluctantly looked away from the fishing float, glanced deeply at his secretary, and said casually, "It seems that not only has that idiot Tian Guofu been arrested, but Dongfang City has also run into big trouble."

The secretary's heart skipped a beat, and she respectfully reminded him, "Director, do you think Sang He came here this time really for the new energy project to be implemented in Handong Province? Or is he here in Handong as a witness?"

"After all, Sang He and Lin Changhe share the same identity. What if they use this opportunity to find out our secret..."

The secretary didn't say what came next directly, but the meaning was already quite clear.

"Heh...a witness? What witness?" Pei Yihong scoffed, a playful smirk playing on his lips. He countered, "Why do you think Sang He would come to Handong as a witness? What can he prove? What does he want to prove?"

"Did we break the law? Or did we commit a crime?"

Pei Yihong shook the fishing rod in his hand and said softly, "If we don't have any, what are we afraid of them doing?"

The secretary frowned, looking worried. "Director, Tian Guofu and Lin Changhe have both fallen into the hands of Sun Liancheng and Shen Feng. These two know quite a lot, and Sun Liancheng and Shen Feng are not easy to fool..."

"Xiao An!" Pei Yihong interrupted his secretary before she could finish speaking, saying, "You don't need to worry about Tian Guofu and Lin Changhe at all. Although their fates are already decided, they will not confess anything. There is no doubt about that."

"Sang He couldn't possibly know anything. Lin Changhe may have played with fire and burned himself, but his knowledge was very limited, so he's not worth worrying about at all."

"Li Yunfei and Shen Feng have arrested Tian Guofu and others, and the task force has successfully completed its mission. They will not fight me to the death before they have evidence."

"As for Sun Liancheng..."

Speaking of Sun Liancheng, Pei Yihong hesitated for a while before muttering, "It seems that Sun Liancheng has already discovered that I used him and wants to prevent me from returning to my post."

"Hmph..." Pei Yihong chuckled and said domineeringly, "Fine, Sun Liancheng made me lose face at that meeting, it's time to teach him a lesson."

"Who rules the fate of this vast land? I do!"

Pei Yihong continued fishing, saying, "Don't rush, just stick to the plan. This is nothing..."

……

Early the next morning, the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, headed by Gao Yuliang and Qin Siyuan, gathered in the provincial party committee compound. Gao Yuliang presided over the meeting, and the others sat down in turn.

Seeing that all eleven people had arrived in the conference room, Gao Yuliang asked, "Has Secretary Zhao notified everyone?"

Zhao Dagong, secretary of the Party Committee of Handong Province, nodded. "The notification has been sent, but the reply we received was that Secretary Zhao Lichun has caught a cold and is recuperating at home. He also instructed that Comrade Yuliang should make all the decisions for this meeting."

When the people in the conference room learned that Zhao Lichun had caught a cold and would not be attending the meeting, they were not surprised, or rather, they had become accustomed to it.

The truth is, Zhao Lichun arrived in Handong Province and attended the first meeting with great fanfare, only to find that Lu Zhenguo, whom he was supposed to assist, was exposed as having a false identity, and that the things he had done in Handong Province were also dug up one by one.

From then on, Zhao Lichun stopped going to class and attending meetings, and never interfered in any affairs, big or small, in Handong Province again.

It's unclear whether Zhao Lichun saw that things in Handong Province were hopeless and completely chickened out, no longer wanting to fight for power and profit, or whether he was afraid to act recklessly for fear of causing harm.

Because his son, Zhao Ruilong, had been transferred to Handong Province, his life was now in the hands of Qin Siyuan, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee!

Regardless of why Zhao Lichun was behaving himself, the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province were happy to see it happen. Otherwise, if a provincial party secretary went completely insane, the negative impact would be immeasurable!

Seeing that Zhao Lichun had backed down, Gao Yuliang turned his gaze to Qin Siyuan, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. "Comrade Siyuan, the economic construction and social planning work in Handong Province is quite heavy recently. Let's put the Zhao Ruilong case aside for now and focus our energy on the province's new energy projects."

Upon hearing this, Qin Siyuan immediately understood what Gao Yuliang meant and readily agreed, "Comrade Yuliang, please rest assured, the legislation regarding the new energy project has been basically finalized, and it can be made public at the press conference."

"As for Zhao Ruilong's case, other charges lack key evidence, and relevant departments are still investigating and collecting evidence, so it may be difficult to see any results in the short term."

When the people in the conference room heard Secretary Qin say this, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Look, what does it mean to be professional? This is what it means to be professional!

Are the other charges in Zhao Ruilong's case truly lacking in crucial evidence? When will the relevant departments conclude their investigation and evidence collection? When will there be a definitive result? These are all swords hanging over Zhao Ruilong's head!

Oh no!

It is a sharp sword hanging over the head of Zhao Ruilong's father, Zhao Lichun!

Whether the sword falls or remains suspended depends on whether Zhao Lichun behaves himself!

Now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good, because Zhao Lichun only has one son, Zhao Ruilong, and he can't bear to part with him!

Just as Gao Yuliang was about to ask something else, his secretary, Xiao He, pushed open the conference room door and walked in, reporting, "Director Gao, the special task force and the Dongfang City inspection team are almost here; they'll be at the provincial party committee compound in less than two minutes."

"Are we almost there?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang's eyes lit up. He stood up and glanced at everyone in the conference room. "Gentlemen, in addition to the special task force led by Comrade Shen Feng, there is also an inspection team led by Comrade Sang He. We cannot be impolite. Let's all go downstairs together."

The people in the conference room were taken aback at first. They admitted that Dongfang City was very powerful, but was it really necessary to have everyone come downstairs to greet them?

Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, it would not be necessary for all members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee to come downstairs to greet him, but Gao Yuliang felt a surge of excitement when he thought of the phone call Sun Liancheng made to him last night!

Comrade Sang He's defection to Handong Province is no joke!

We and Handong Province must show absolute sincerity and treat this matter with utmost care!
