Starting as a town mayor, he rose through the ranks.

We have greeted those who needed to be greeted and informed those who needed to be informed.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhiguo waited for Wang Hengyue to return from Tang Wenjie's house and office to retrieve the evidence before taking action against Jin Qingping.

However, Jin Qingping was unaware that Tang Wenjie had already revealed all his secrets.

He was currently attending a meeting of the county government regarding the rectification of Party conduct and discipline, where he was giving a passionate speech.

"Today we gather here to discuss a crucial issue that concerns the success or failure of our cause. Currently, the vast majority of our Party members and cadres are good, diligent, dedicated, and disciplined. However, we must also recognize that some problems still exist to varying degrees in some areas and among some Party members and cadres: some lack firm ideals and beliefs and are spiritually deficient; some have a weak sense of purpose and are detached from the masses and reality; some discount or circumvent discipline, or even cross the red line; some lack a sense of responsibility and have a complacent mentality; some have not eradicated the deep-rooted habits of formalism and bureaucracy, which increase the burden on grassroots levels... Although these problems occur in a minority of people, they damage the health of the Party, erode the foundation of the Party's governance, and pollute the political ecology. We must not turn a blind eye to them. Faced with new situations, new tasks, and new challenges, we must, with greater determination, greater efforts, and more practical measures, make Party conduct and discipline building a regular, meticulous, and long-term endeavor..."

This guy's speech was passionate and inspiring.

In particular, his occasional waving gestures are like throwing a grenade, very graceful and free.

"Strictly enforcing Party discipline primarily means strictly enforcing political discipline and political rules. All Party members and cadres must deeply understand the decisive significance of the two establishments, resolutely uphold the two safeguards, and always maintain consistency with the Party's highest authority in thought, politics, and action. We must continuously improve our political judgment, political understanding, and political execution capabilities to ensure that the Party's line, principles, and policies are implemented without compromise, and to ensure that the Party's highest authority's orders are unimpeded and strictly enforced. We must take intra-Party political life seriously and enhance its political nature, timeliness, principled nature, and combativeness."

His speech lasted a full hour before it ended, and the leaders and cadres from various units below applauded, the applause echoing throughout the auditorium.

On the podium, facing thunderous applause from below, Jin Qingping felt very good.

Even at this moment, he believed that he was not greedy for money, that he was an honest and upright cadre and leader, and that he deserved the applause from below.

Just then, Luo Zhiguo entered the auditorium with Wang Hengyue and two policemen. Actually, he had arrived earlier, but when he heard Jin Qingping giving a speech, he stood outside wanting to hear what this guy had to say.

After listening for half an hour, seeing that the guy was getting more and more excited and seemed ready to continue his speech after the applause, Luo Zhiguo quickly went inside.

Upon seeing them suddenly walk in, the crowd, who had been clapping, immediately froze in mid-air, staring at them with astonishment in their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a commotion broke out in the auditorium as people whispered and speculated about what the others were doing there.

On the platform, Jin Qingping also noticed Luo Zhiguo, his brows furrowing slightly. He then reprimanded, "Luo Zhiguo! A meeting is being held here. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Leave immediately. If you need to contact me, make an appointment at the county government office first..."

He said this deliberately to embarrass Luo Zhiguo in public, while also showing off his position as county magistrate.

Luo Zhiguo smiled slightly and walked straight toward the podium without stopping.

Then, looking at Jin Qingping, his smiling expression instantly turned serious, and he said, "Jin Qingping! You are suspected of violating regulations and discipline, and of improper lifestyle. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation..."

Luo Zhiguo's voice was strong and clear, and everyone in the auditorium could hear it clearly.

Immediately, everyone looked at Jin Qingping with disbelief.

One second this guy was giving a passionate speech on Party conduct and discipline, and the next he was taken away by the provincial discipline inspection team. It's just too ironic.

"Luo Zhiguo! You're talking nonsense..." Upon hearing this, Jin Qingping's face contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Luo Zhiguo and roared angrily.

"Jin Qingping! Tang Wenjie has already confessed to your actions, so we advise you not to resist and to come back with us to cooperate with the investigation..."

Looking at Jin Qingping's ferocious expression, Luo Zhiguo spoke with a serious and righteous tone.

However, Jin Qingping, who was always arrogant and domineering, was not going to cooperate obediently. He immediately became furious and pounced on Luo Zhiguo.

But as soon as he moved, two police officers next to Luo Zhiguo subdued him.

"Let me go! I am the county head of Shunping County People's Government, who dares to arrest me...?"

Jin Qingping, who was being held by two policemen, struggled and shouted, looking like a thug yelling, completely unlike a county magistrate.

"take away!"

Luo Zhiguo glanced at Jin Qingping expressionlessly, then ordered two policemen to take him away.

Soon, Jin Qingping was taken out, and the auditorium immediately erupted in discussion.

The leaders who accompanied Jin Qingping to the meeting, after a brief moment of distraction, immediately snapped out of it, announced the adjournment of the meeting, and hurriedly ran back to the county government office.

"Jin Qingping! Tang Wenjie has already confessed to everything you've done, so there's no need for you to resist anymore. Just confess honestly and try to get leniency..." In the room, Jin Qingping was being held down in a chair by two policemen, while Luo Zhiguo, sitting opposite him, was lecturing him.

"Luo Zhiguo! You have no right to touch me, so don't waste your energy. It won't be long before I walk out of here with my head held high, and you'll have to apologize to me..."

Jin Qingping stared at Luo Zhiguo with a ferocious expression, his eyes full of contempt. Even at this moment, his tone remained extremely arrogant.

Seeing his expression, Luo Zhiguo knew he wouldn't get anything out of him today, so he decided to start by questioning Jin Chuan and Song Mei.

Thinking of this, he stood up, ignored Jin Qingping, and turned to leave the room.

"Xiao Wang! Go and bring Jin Chuan over. Remember, just bring him past the room so he can see Jin Qingping. Don't let the two of them talk. Also, have Sun Tao bring Song Mei over too, in the same way..."

After leaving the room, Luo Zhiguo looked at Wang Hengyue, thought for a moment, and then gave instructions in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hengyue immediately knew that his purpose in doing this was to break down Jin Chuan and Song Mei's psychological defenses and then capture them.

"Yes, sir! I'll get right on it..."

Wang Hengyue's face was full of excitement. He agreed and then turned to head towards the room where Jin Chuan was being held.
