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

The Provincial Party Committee compound.

Liang Family Villa.

The study was dimly lit.

Liang Qunfeng had just returned home, taken off his coat, and leaned wearily against the sofa.

Liang Cheng walked in carrying a cup of hot tea.

"Dad, have some tea to soothe your throat."

Liang Qunfeng took the teacup and sighed.

"Xiao Cheng, the Standing Committee's results are in."

"Secretary Lu's balancing act is truly masterful."

He briefly recounted the events of the meeting to his son.

His tone carried a hint of regret.

"I originally wanted to take this opportunity to seize the initiative."

"Give the Zhao family a good talking-to."

"Unfortunately, Secretary Lu still didn't make me the group leader."

"Shen Zhongxing is a very steady and reliable person."

"Once it gets into his hands, the case will probably just involve investigating a few low-level thugs and then it'll be dropped."

Liang Qunfeng seemed somewhat disheartened.

He felt this was a golden opportunity.

But Lu Kangcheng easily defused the situation.

If he were to lead this task force, things would be different.

however.

After listening, Liang Cheng showed no disappointment on his face.

Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Dad, you're too caught up in the situation to see things clearly."

Liang Cheng sat down opposite his father, his tone calm and confident.

"What Secretary Lu did was in his best interest."

"Oh?"

Liang Qunfeng became interested. "How so?"

"You think about it."

Liang Cheng held up one finger.

"Currently, in Handong, Zhao is strong and Liang is weak."

"As the top leader, what does Secretary Lu need most?"

"It's about balance, it's about control."

"He wanted to both curb Zhao Lichun's arrogance and prevent you from gaining complete dominance."

"If you become the team leader, you'll destroy the Zhao family."

"Then the political scene in Handong will be in chaos, which is not in Secretary Lu's interest in maintaining stability."

"and."

A glint of light flashed in Liang Cheng's eyes.

"Secretary Lu's decision not to use you is also a way of protecting you."

"After all, this time the victim company is mine."

"If you become the team leader, you'll be both the referee and the player."

"If word gets out later, it won't sound good."

Liang Qunfeng listened to his son's analysis.

The weariness in his eyes gradually faded, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

He didn't expect it.

My son, who just started college.

His insight into the political situation was remarkably astute!

He's even no less capable than someone who's been an official for decades!

"you're right."

Liang Qunfeng nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"It seems I really am getting old."

"but."

Liang Qunfeng changed the subject, his brows furrowing slightly.

"So, according to you, this crackdown will ultimately fail to bring down Zhao Ruilong?"

"As long as Zhao Lichun is still in that position."

"Shen Zhongxing will definitely give him some face."

"So, you'll just find a few scapegoats and call it a day?"

Liang Qunfeng was very unwilling.

They've really gone too far in bullying us.

Are we just going to let it go like this?

Liang Cheng picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Dad, things in officialdom may only go this far."

"but."

"The battlefield is not just the officialdom."

"Is Zhao Lichun trying to cover this up?"

"Is Zhao Ruilong looking for a scapegoat?"

"That depends on whether I agree or not!"

Liang Cheng put down his teacup.

The porcelain cup struck the table with a crisp sound.

"Since the law cannot punish him for the time being."

"Then I'll use public opinion to completely tear off this fig leaf!"

"I want Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Lichun to be involved."

"We've completely lost face in front of the entire province!"

Seeing that Liang Cheng had his own ideas and plans.

Liang Qunfeng didn't ask any more questions, but simply gave a few words of advice.

A smile appeared on his face, and he nodded with satisfaction.

......

The streets of Jingzhou late at night.

A black Mercedes-Benz was speeding by.

Zhao Ruilong sat in the back seat, his face pale and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He would occasionally look back.

They were afraid that police cars would catch up with them.

"Faster! Drive faster!"

Zhao Ruilong yelled at the driver.

"Mr. Zhao, where are we going?"

The driver was also frightened by the tense atmosphere, and his hands were trembling as he gripped the steering wheel.

Zhao Ruilong was stunned.

where to?

Come back home?

No!

With such a commotion tonight, the old man must already know.

Going back now would be like walking into a trap.

When Zhao Lichun gets angry, he really will whip people with a belt!

Going to the company?

Not to mention!

It's pitch black.

Zhao Ruilong's mind was in complete chaos.

Sudden.

He thought of someone.

"Go...go find my second sister!"

Zhao Xiaohui.

That was the Zhao family's strategist, and also the person who cared for him the most.

Only his second sister can save him now, and can plead for him with the old man.

"yes!"

The driver stepped on the gas, and the car sped off towards the suburbs.

Zhao Ruilong huddled in the leather seat.

He cursed Liang Cheng's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.

"Liang Cheng..."

"You just wait!"

"Once this blows over, I'll make sure you're dead!"

He still doesn't realize it.

This time.

He had messed with an opponent who didn't play by the rules at all.

......

The Liang family study.

Liang Cheng glanced at the clock on the wall.

A smile appeared on his face.

Then he picked up the phone and skillfully dialed a number.

"Hey, Li Hao."

On the other end of the phone, Li Hao was clearly still awake, with loud music playing in the background.

"Brother Cheng! What instructions do you have so late?"

Li Hao sounded very excited.

He also saw the police cars that filled the streets.

I knew this was the start of Brother Cheng's counterattack.

Although he didn't know the specifics of what happened, his trust in Liang Cheng was beyond question.

Liang Cheng's voice was frighteningly calm.

"Stop playing around and find a quiet place."

"I have something to tell you."

After a while.

The other end of the phone went silent.

"Brother Cheng, please speak."

Listen.

Liang Cheng spoke slowly, but every word he uttered carried a murderous intent.

"How's the TV station I asked you to contact going?"

Previously, Liang Cheng had asked Li Hao to contact the TV station to report on what had happened to their factory in the past few days.

"Brother Cheng, this matter is already being handled, and reporters will be coming to the factory to report on it tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Liang Cheng replied in a deep voice.

"No, this is too slow."

Originally, this matter wasn't considered urgent.

However, the Standing Committee's resolution has now been released.

Liang Cheng prepared to speed up.

He wanted the matter to be exposed as soon as possible, which is why he called Li Hao so late at night.

"Use all the connections you have."

"Contact the provincial television station, newspapers, and all kinds of media, regardless of size."

"Tell them there's some earth-shattering news."

"A provincial star enterprise and a pilot unit for the re-employment of laid-off workers has been targeted by organized crime, including poisoning and vandalism!"

"Send them the photos of what happened at the factory today."

"Those dead rats, and the driver whose head was beaten bloody."

"They all need to be in the newspapers! They all need to be on TV!"

Li Hao on the other end of the phone gasped.

"Brother Cheng, this...this is going to escalate things!"

"Will this cause a big fuss?"

Liang Cheng sneered.

"That's not big enough."

"Tell those reporters."

"Whoever dares to publish this on the front page, I'll personally sponsor a lead with 50,000 yuan!"

"There's no need to name names and say it was Zhao Ruilong who did it."

"However, you need to guide public opinion through your words."

"Just say they're a criminal gang with powerful backers and connections!"

"It should make ordinary people angry, so angry they want to curse!"

"Oh, and finally, arrange for a few reporters to interview the driver who was assaulted."

Li Hao was thrilled.

That was a ruthless move!

This is a case of using someone else to do the dirty work!

Once public opinion takes hold, it will be impossible for the provincial party committee to downplay the incident.

"Understood, Brother Cheng!"

"Don't worry, I know this stuff!"

"I'll contact them right now, and I guarantee that by tomorrow morning, our news will be on the front page of every newspaper in Jingzhou!"

Hang up on Li Hao.

Liang Cheng did not stop.

Then she dialed Zhao Ming's number.

"Where is Zhao Ming?"

"Brother Cheng, I'm at the hospital. I just paid the hospital fees for the injured brother."

Zhao Ming's voice sounded tired and indignant.
