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

The provincial party committee's cadre supervision group is of a very high level; the group leader, Yang Zhi, is at the level of a full-fledged department head.

Seeing that a deputy division-level official dared to be so arrogant in front of him, Yang Zhi's face darkened.

"Comrade Luo Zhiguo! I'm not discussing this with you, I'm asking for your cooperation..."

"Excuse me, Team Leader Yang! Please communicate with Inspection Team Leader Xie Hongbo if you have any questions. I only follow instructions from my superiors..."

Since the other party was being so polite, Luo Zhiguo naturally didn't need to be polite in return. He left a message and hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, he lit a cigarette, thinking to himself that he had never heard of the provincial party committee having a cadre supervision group. Could it be that this group was newly established?

After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and looked through it, finally finding Yu Gang's phone number.

After thinking about it for a moment and hesitating slightly, I dialed the number.

"Hello, boss!"

The call was answered quickly, and he immediately greeted the caller respectfully.

"Kid! The sun must be rising in the west today! You calling me is quite a rare treat..."

Yu Gang's teasing voice came over. Hearing this, Luo Zhiguo couldn't help but give a wry smile: "Boss! Please don't tease me. You're usually so busy, how could I dare to bother you so casually..."

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense, brat. Just spit it out. I don't really want to get too close to you right now..."

Yu Gang was joking and laughing one second, but his expression changed the next, leaving Luo Zhiguo stunned.

Then, he gave another bitter smile, realizing that he was being subtly mocked for being the nightmare of many people in the entire South China Province.

"That's how it is with the leaders! Just now, someone claiming to be Yang Zhi, the head of the provincial party committee's cadre supervision group, called me..."

After thinking for a moment, he recounted the events, then paused before asking, "Leader! I don't recall the provincial party committee having such a group. Was it recently established?"

Upon hearing Yu Gang's words, Luo Zhiguo's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he realized that the real purpose of this newly established cadre supervision group was to target him.

Behind this, it is possible that the provincial party secretary, Lin Luhua, is providing support, and that the deputy secretary, Huang Beiwang, is working with the organization minister to carry it out.

"Kid! Good luck, that's all..."

Yu Gang suddenly chuckled and said something inexplicable, then hung up the phone.

"Ring ring ring..." Luo Zhiguo was still in a daze, wondering what Yu Gang's last words meant, when his phone rang.

Seeing that it was Xie Hongbo calling, he composed himself and quickly answered the phone: "Hello, team leader!"

"Zhiguo! The provincial party committee has just established a cadre supervision group, whose jurisdiction includes supervising the party conduct and discipline of units at all levels as well as investigating and handling cases. The group leader, Yang Zhi, just called me to complain that your attitude was very bad, and at the same time, he asked you to cooperate with the supervision and report on the case in Shunping County..."

Xie Hongbo's voice came through, sounding very heavy, indicating that he was also feeling the pressure.

"Zhiguo! How can the Discipline Inspection Commission have its own autonomy in handling cases? Although it is subject to supervision, as long as everything is in compliance, there is no need to worry about the cadre supervision group. They also have no right to obstruct or participate in the handling of cases..."

He paused for a moment, then Xie Hongbo continued.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo's expression turned serious, and he nodded: "I understand, team leader. I will definitely cooperate with the cadre supervision team..."

"Um!"

Xie Hongbo responded with a nod, then hung up the phone without saying anything more.

Luo Zhiguo frowned as he listened to the dial tone on his phone.

Thinking to myself, since the provincial party secretary wants to protect Jin Qingping, I'll give him a big surprise.

Thinking of this, he immediately dialed Huang Zhong's number. "Hello, sir!"

Huang Zhong's voice came through the phone when it was answered.

"Old Huang! How's the investigation going?"

Luo Zhiguo didn't waste any words and asked directly.

"Boss! We've made progress..."

"Hurry up. I'm giving you two more days. I need all the evidence that Kim Cheong-pyeong instructed the perpetrators to commit the murder..."

Luo Zhiguo said in a deep voice.

Despite the pressure, Huang Zhong still agreed.

After ending the call, a cold glint flashed in Luo Zhiguo's eyes. "Didn't the provincial party secretary want to protect Jin Qingping? You've only hastened his death."

"Ring ring ring..."

The phone rang again, and it was Yang Zhi from the same cadre supervision group again.

He gave a cold laugh and answered the phone. "Comrade Luo Zhiguo! Xie Hongbo called you, didn't he?"

As soon as the call connected, Yang Zhi's voice came through.

"Team Leader Yang! I just received a call from Team Leader Xie, asking me to accept supervision from the Provincial Party Committee's Cadre Supervision Group..."

Luo Zhiguo gave a reply.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhi's lips curled into a smug smile. He then said, "Since you're cooperating with the supervision, then come to the provincial capital to report on the case in Shunping County..."

"Yes, Team Leader Yang!"

Luo Zhiguo agreed and then ended the call.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned Wang Hengyue and assigned him some tasks.

Then he called Tong Zhen again and said he was going to the provincial capital and would be back the next day, and then he set off for the provincial capital.

At 3:30 p.m., Pei Jiu drove his car into the Provincial Party Committee building.

After checking the time, Luo Zhiguo went directly to the place Yang Zhi had indicated.

The cadre supervision team was located on the first floor, and Luo Zhiguo found it quickly. After inquiring, he went to Yang Zhi's office. "Hello, Team Leader Yang! I'm Luo Zhiguo..."

Yang Zhi was in his early fifties, wore black-rimmed glasses, and was somewhat balding, perfectly fitting the image of someone who spends most of his time sitting in an office.

Upon entering the office, Luo Zhiguo greeted Yang Zhi politely as Yang Zhi sat at his desk.

Yang Zhi looked up at him, then picked up the phone and gave him a few instructions before saying, "Luo Zhiguo! Go outside and wait; someone will be here to see you soon..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and ignored Luo Zhiguo. Clearly, he was deliberately ignoring him and giving him a hard time.

Luo Zhiguo smiled and nodded, completely unconcerned about his deliberate snub and show of force, then turned and left the office, standing in the corridor to wait.

Watching him leave, Yang Zhi put down his pen, looked up, and sneered.

I thought to myself, "Weren't you quite assertive on the phone? Now that we're here, let's see how assertive you can still be."

I'll teach you a lesson later and show you that you can't be too domineering.
