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

Lu Kangcheng's words.

It was like dropping a bomb on a calm lake!

The Standing Committee members looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

What signal is this?

Many members of the Standing Committee even connected it to the upcoming leadership transition.

His mind started to wander.

Could it be that Lu Kangcheng intends to promote Liang Qunfeng to a higher position and have him take over the position of Governor Zhang?

Liang Qunfeng was originally on par with Zhao Lichun, and even slightly overshadowed by him.

At this moment, its significance in everyone's eyes suddenly increased considerably.

This is the art of imperial strategy!

This is the way of balance!

Lu Kangcheng did not directly suppress Zhao Lichun.

However, by elevating Liang Qunfeng, he inadvertently weakened Zhao Lichun's authority.

This caused the political balance in Handong to begin tilting in favor of the Liang family!

"Thank you for your trust, Secretary Lu."

Liang Qunfeng nodded steadily.

"I will do my best to safeguard the development of Handong."

Zhao Lichun sat there.

Listening to this conversation, I felt a buzzing in my ears.

Originally, it was just a matter of losing face.

It seems that even half of the path to the future has been blocked!

This is worse than killing him!

......

End of the meeting.

The members of the Standing Committee walked out of the meeting room one after another.

In the corridor.

Liang Qunfeng deliberately slowed down his pace.

Until Zhao Lichun walked over with a dark face.

The two walked side by side.

Although there was no physical contact, the tense atmosphere made the surrounding staff keep their distance.

"Old Zhao."

Liang Qunfeng stared ahead, a faint sneer playing on his lips.

"This whole thing was a misunderstanding."

"But the issue of children's education is something that cannot be ignored."

"After all, if a son is not taught properly, it is the father's fault."

The saying "If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault" is like rubbing salt into Zhao Lichun's wounds.

Zhao Lichun suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head away.

He stared intently at Liang Qunfeng.

His eyes were as sinister as a venomous snake's.

"Liang Qunfeng".

"You don't need to be sarcastic here."

"You've really got it this time. You've got a good son backing you up."

Zhao Lichun lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth:

"But don't be too happy yet."

"The road ahead is still long."

"We'll see!"

Done.

Zhao Lichun snorted coldly and turned away.

Looking at Zhao Lichun's slightly disheveled back.

Liang Qunfeng did not retort.

He simply stood there and straightened his collar.

A victor's smile appeared on his face.

This has been the case for so many years.

In his first direct confrontation with Zhao Lichun, he gained an absolute advantage!

And it was a complete victory!

However, Liang Qunfeng's expression quickly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Because he realized that Zhao Ruilong had escaped punishment again, which was different from what he had originally expected.

Liang Qunfeng was still somewhat displeased.

......

That afternoon.

The provincial party committee's special investigation team announced the closure of the case.

The ringleader, Liu, and his gang members confessed to their crimes.

Given the cruelty of its methods and the negative social impact,

The court handled the case with special urgency and severity, administering a severe and expedited trial.

Fatty Liu was sentenced to ten years in prison!

The other accomplices were also sentenced.

As for Zhao Ruilong...

The case was closed without even a name appearing in the official report.

It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

but.

Everyone in Jingzhou knows this.

Young Master Zhao has really suffered a major setback this time.

That same evening the case was closed.

A black Audi drove silently out of the Zhao family's old house.

Sitting in the car.

It was Zhao Ruilong, his face filled with dejection and his eyes filled with terror.

He was given a death order by Zhao Lichun.

Get out of here in Luzhou right now!

Before the storm passes, you are absolutely not allowed to set foot in Jingzhou!

This is not just about seeking refuge.

It was more like an exile!

Looking out the car window at the rapidly receding night view of Jingzhou.

Zhao Ruilong's fingers sank deeply into the leather seat.

His eyes burned with the flames of hatred.

"Liang Cheng..."

"You just wait!"

"I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!"

......

The Provincial Party Committee compound, Liang Family Villa.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

The black briefcase was slammed heavily onto the leather sofa.

Liang Qunfeng strode into the study with a dark expression on his face.

He loosened his collar, his chest heaving violently.

He was clearly very angry.

"Shameless!"

"This is utterly shameless!"

Liang Qunfeng picked up the iced tea on the table and gulped down a large mouthful.

But it still couldn't extinguish the anger in his heart.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the study.

Liang Cheng was leisurely flipping through a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" (Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government).

I heard a noise.

He closed the book and turned around.

A faint smile played on his lips.

"Dad, is the Standing Committee meeting over?"

"It seems you are very dissatisfied with the result."

Liang Qunfeng snorted and plopped down on the sofa.

"satisfy?"

"How can I be satisfied!"

"That Shen Zhongxing, he usually seems very steady and reliable."

"He's a spineless coward even when it matters!"

Liang Qunfeng grew increasingly angry as he spoke, tapping his fingers on the coffee table with a "thump-thump" sound.

"That fat Liu took the blame for all the crimes."

"He was the one who poisoned the person, and he was the one who assaulted them."

"Zhao Ruilong has actually become a completely unsuspecting and deceived person!"

"They're treating us like fools!"

Liang Qunfeng took a deep breath, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"And Lu Kangcheng."

"And he's a master at smoothing things over!"

"Raise it high, then lower it gently."

"It's just that Zhao Lichun was accused of not disciplining his children properly."

"superficial!"

In Liang Qunfeng's view.

This time, such a large-scale operation was launched.

They've even started a war of words.

In the end, they only caught a few small fry.

This is all bark and no bite.

It was a complete and utter failure!

Looking at his father's indignant expression.

Liang Cheng put down the book in his hand.

He walked to the tea table and poured his father another cup of hot tea.

The movements were fluid and unhurried.

"dad."

"Please calm down."

Liang Cheng's voice was calm and mellow, as if it had a soothing power.

"If you're hoping to eradicate Zhao Lichun entirely with this one case."

"Then you are underestimating this Zhao family troupe leader who has been operating in Handong for many years."

Liang Qunfeng was stunned for a moment.

He took the teacup and frowned as he looked at his son.

"Of course I didn't expect to be able to take him down in one go."

"But at least we should inflict serious damage on Zhao Ruilong, shouldn't we?"

Liang Cheng smiled.

His smile had a somewhat meaningful quality to it.

"Dad, try to think about it from a different perspective."

"If today, the task force really disregards everything and forcibly arrests Zhao Ruilong."

"What will happen?"

Liang Qunfeng instinctively replied, "That means acting in accordance with the law..."

"No."

Liang Cheng shook his head, his gaze becoming profound.

"From the outside perspective, that would not be acting in accordance with the law."

"That would become political persecution."

"It has become you, Liang Qunfeng, who, in order to rise to power, resorted to any means to purge the families of your political enemies."

Liang Qunfeng's heart skipped a beat.

The teacup in my hand wobbled slightly.

Liang Cheng continued:

"Zhao Lichun is, after all, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee."

"His roots in Handong are deeply entrenched."

"If we push him to the brink."

"To make him feel that we are going to punish everyone involved, to make it a lose-lose situation."

"Then he will definitely retaliate fiercely."

"At that time, the entire political arena in Handong will be thrown into chaos."

"This is something Lu Kangcheng absolutely does not want to see."

"Therefore, Lu Kangcheng must find a balance."

"We must leave the Zhao family a way out."

Liang Cheng walked over and sat down opposite Liang Qunfeng.

His eyes were clear, as if he had seen through all the fog.

"Moreover, from a legal perspective..."

"Now that Fatty Liu has confessed, the chain of evidence is complete."

"We really can't do anything about Zhao Ruilong."

"Forcibly arresting people is actually a bad idea."
