Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

In a short time.

The conference room was filled with arms.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

People in officialdom are all shrewd and calculating.

It's obvious to everyone.

Tonight, Secretary Lu and Secretary Liang joined forces.

Zhao Lichun lost this round completely.

Looking at the raised arms around me.

Zhao Lichun's face turned ashen, and he felt an unprecedented sense of isolation and helplessness.

He could only stiffly raise his hand.

He squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"I...agree as well."

Following Zhao Lichun's statement.

The resolution was passed unanimously.

Zhao Lichun's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

But he was, after all, a cunning old fox in the officialdom.

His cunning and shrewdness are far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

Almost the instant the vote passed.

The gloom on his face vanished instantly.

Instead, they adopted a look of deep remorse and a willingness to take responsibility.

"Comrades."

Zhao Lichun spoke in a deep voice, his tone sincere.

"Since everyone agrees to a crackdown, I firmly support the provincial party committee's decision."

"This incident occurred in Jingzhou."

"As the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, I have an inescapable responsibility."

Speaking of it.

Zhao Lichun suddenly stood up.

He looked intently at Lu Kangcheng.

"Secretary Lu."

"Where you fall, you must get up."

"I volunteered to lead this crackdown task force!"

"Please, Provincial Party Committee, give me a chance to make amends!"

"I will personally take charge and supervise the work to completely stop this unhealthy trend!"

This move, a strategic retreat, was executed exceptionally well.

The expressions on the faces of the Standing Committee members present changed.

If Zhao Lichun were made the group leader.

That wouldn't be considered a crackdown.

Instead, it is "strict protection".

Who to investigate, who not to investigate, and to what extent to investigate.

It all depended on his word.

When the time comes, we'll find a few scapegoats and arrest them.

Turning a bad thing into a good thing, it might even earn them a political achievement of "effectively quelling chaos".

Liang Qunfeng raised an eyebrow.

How could he possibly let Zhao Lichun succeed?

"I object."

Liang Qunfeng spoke directly, his voice not loud, but very firm.

"Comrade Lichun, we understand how you feel."

"but."

"The work of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee is complex and multifaceted, with heavy tasks in economic development."

"As the Party Secretary of the city and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, your energy is ultimately limited."

"The investigation of these specific cases requires a great deal of effort."

"If we delay Jingzhou's economic development in order to maintain order, then we'll be penny-wise and pound-foolish."

Liang Qunfeng's move was both soft and hard.

They directly accused Zhao Lichun of using the label of "economic development".

Followed by.

Liang Qunfeng then changed the subject.

"I am the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and this kind of thing is not part of my job duties."

"But fighting crime is my inescapable responsibility."

"I propose that I take on the role of group leader."

"I pledge to the Provincial Party Committee that I will achieve results within a month!"

The two were at loggerheads.

Neither side would give in.

It sounded as if sparks were crackling in the air.

Other members of the Standing Committee kept their eyes down, their noses reflecting their inner thoughts.

No one dared to interrupt.

This is a battle of gods.

Lu Kangcheng sat at the head of the table, toying with a fountain pen in his hand.

His gaze swept back and forth between Zhao Lichun and Liang Qunfeng's faces.

He sneered inwardly.

One wanted to cover it up.

One wanted to use someone else to do the dirty work.

Do they all think he, the provincial party secretary, is just a figurehead?

If Zhao Lichun were to become the team leader, this crackdown would become a joke.

If Liang Qunfeng were to be the group leader.

A major political upheaval is about to occur in Handong.

balance.

That is the art of rulership.

"alright."

Lu Kangcheng spoke calmly.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a powerful aura.

The argument stopped abruptly.

"Comrade Lichun is indeed very busy. Jingzhou's economy cannot do without you."

"Comrade Qunfeng, the Discipline Inspection Commission has also had quite a few cases lately."

Lu Kangcheng put down his pen.

My fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"I think this is better."

"The group leader is Comrade Shen Zhongxing, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee."

"The public security, procuratorate, and court are fully cooperating."

"We must both investigate the case thoroughly and maintain overall stability."

Meeting adjourned.

Done.

Lu Kangcheng stood up abruptly and strode out of the conference room.

He left behind a room full of Standing Committee members, each with their own thoughts.

Zhao Lichun's lips twitched.

Shen Zhongxing.

That was Lu Kangcheng's trusted confidant.

Neither he nor Liang Qunfeng won this round.

The biggest winner is Lu Kangcheng.

......

Royal No. 1 KTV.

The luxurious private room was deathly silent.

Zhao Ruilong stood by the window.

Looking at the night view outside, I couldn't help but recall the images of police cars that had been appearing repeatedly.

Although the sounds outside the window had quieted down, Jingzhou City seemed to have returned to normal.

But Zhao Ruilong felt that something was amiss about what happened today, and he felt uneasy.

Just then.

"Young Master Zhao..."

Fatty Liu was holding his cell phone, sweating profusely.

This guy made over a dozen calls before finally getting through to one.

That phone call just now.

It was called by one of his informants at the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Just one short sentence:

"The provincial party committee has issued a new resolution: a province-wide crackdown will last for one month, targeting highway robbers and bandits!"

pat.

The mobile phone fell onto the carpet.

Fatty Liu slumped on the sofa, his fat face as pale as paper.

"It's over."

"It's all over."

"Young Master Zhao, this time they're serious."

"I heard that it was Secretary Lu who personally approved the decision, and the public security, procuratorate and court are handling the case together."

"None of the people we're looking for will escape."

Zhao Ruilong suddenly turned around.

His eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.

"How could this happen?"

"They're just a few dead rats, aren't they?"

"It's just hitting a driver, isn't it?"

"Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?"

"This is going to turn Jingzhou upside down!"

Zhao Ruilong really couldn't understand it.

Normally, in these kinds of situations, the police station would at most mediate and provide some compensation for medical expenses.

How did I manage to cause such a huge mess today?

"Young Master Zhao, could it be...?"

Fatty Liu swallowed hard. "Could it be that the Liang family has pulled some strings?"

Zhao Ruilong's heart skipped a beat.

Liang Qunfeng!

It must be that old man!

Besides him, who else has the ability to escalate such a public security case to the level of the provincial party committee?

"quick!"

Zhao Ruilong grabbed Liu Pangzi by the collar and roared.

"Clean up the traces!"

"Tell your men to keep their mouths shut!"

"Give us money! Give us a resettlement allowance!"

"Tell them to get out of Handong and go south to hide!"

"Unless we catch the person, we have no evidence!"

Fatty Liu nodded, trembling.

"I'll get on it right away, I'll get on it right away."

"Then... what do we do?"

Zhao Ruilong released his grip, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

"You'd better leave Jingzhou too. I need to go into hiding as well."

"I can't show my face for the next few days."

Done.

He grabbed his coat and rushed out of the private room without even saying goodbye.

It was just like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow.
