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

In the courtyard of the Bohou Town Police Station, just as Liu Ming, Liu Hanwen, Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei walked up to him.

Just as Liu Ming and Liu Hanwen were about to get into the car, a vehicle drove into the compound and stopped in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, two men got out of the car, looked at the group, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Liu Hanwen?"

Upon seeing that they were from the county discipline inspection commission, Liu Ming and the others' expressions all changed drastically.

Before Liu Hanwen could speak, Liu Ming looked at the two men with a grim face and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want with Liu Hanwen?"

Are you Liu Hanwen?

One of them stared at Liu Ming and questioned him sternly.

Liu Ming was furious that there were people in Shunping County who didn't recognize him: "My name is Liu Ming, and I'm the Party Secretary of Huangtong Town. Now you know me, right? Tell me, what are you doing here looking for Liu Hanwen? Who sent you...?"

"Secretary Liu has such an arrogant attitude! Now he even wants to interfere in our disciplinary committee's affairs."

Lou Zhengtian, who hadn't intended to get out of the car to meet Liu Ming, felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing this.

He pushed open the car door, got out, and looked at Liu Ming with a cold smile.

Upon seeing Lou Zhengtian, Liu Ming frowned, thinking, "Why is this guy here? Is he here to arrest Liu Hanwen?"

"Lou Zhengtian! Although I can't control your Discipline Inspection Commission, as Liu Hanwen's friend, can't I ask a question?"

Looking at Lou Zhengtian, he asked in a cold voice.

"No! When our disciplinary committee handles cases, no unrelated personnel are allowed to inquire or interfere."

Lou Zhengtian answered without hesitation, his face expressionless.

Then, turning to Liu Hanwen, he said in a deep voice, "Liu Hanwen! We have received a report that you embezzled and misappropriated public funds during your tenure as the director of the finance office in Bohou Town. Now come with us to the designated location for investigation..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hanwen, who had been arrogantly boasting that he would skin Zhao Fei alive, turned pale and slumped to the ground, his previous arrogance completely gone.

Immediately afterwards, two staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission went over, helped him up, and led him to the car.

As Liu Ming watched Liu Hanwen being taken away, his face darkened considerably. Pointing at Lou Zhengtian, he angrily shouted, "Lou Zhengtian! You only received a report, and you take a township cadre away for investigation? Is this how your Discipline Inspection Commission operates...?"

Upon hearing this, Lou Zhengtian looked at Liu Ming with amusement and couldn't help but sneer, "Before, Zhao Dehua only made a report and got a section chief taken away for investigation. Compared to them, we're already following the rules..."

The meaning of these words is very clear: they are mocking Liu Ming and his ilk for being able to act recklessly.

They could not take Liu Hanwen away simply because they followed the rules and received the secretary's approval.

Liu Ming nearly vomited blood in anger. Pointing at Lou Zhengtian, he coldly threatened, "Lou Zhengtian! You just wait, one day I'll make you pay."

"Liu Ming! To be honest, besides being the county magistrate's brother-in-law, what are you anyway...?"

Lou Zhengtian looked down on people like Liu Ming. Hearing his threat, he didn't back down and gave a sarcastic laugh.

Then he turned around, got into his car, and left, leaving Liu Ming standing there with a livid face, furious but unable to vent his anger.

When Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei met the county discipline inspection commission, they were all extremely panicked.

They stood there motionless until the county discipline inspection commission's car left, at which point the three of them finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

To be honest, the scene of Liu Hanwen being taken away just now had a huge impact on the three of them.

After all, their own hands aren't clean either, and they're most afraid of encountering the Discipline Inspection Commission, especially seeing them take people away.

This made them empathize, and they couldn't help but wonder if they would ever experience the same thing.

Liu Ming was in a terrible mood at the moment. He ignored Fan Ming and the other two and drove away.

He needed to rush back to the county, tell his brother-in-law about it, and then think about how to call Wang Laixi to explain.

Luo Zhiguo was late for work today. It wasn't until 9:30 that he and Qiao Yan arrived at the Party and Government Office of Bohou Town from the county.

When he and Qiao Yan appeared at the Party and Government Office, everyone was stunned.

They thought the two wouldn't be coming back this time, but to their surprise, just one night later, they returned to work as if nothing had happened.

The news quickly spread throughout the seven stations and eight offices of Bohou Town, and everyone had different opinions.

In Chen Hua's office, when he heard from the communications officer that Luo Zhiguo had returned, he was overjoyed.

He immediately went downstairs to Luo Zhiguo's office. Gao Yang was so startled by his sudden arrival that he was at a loss for what to do.

"Hello, Secretary Chen!"

Gao Yang quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully.

"Um!"

Chen Hua was in a hurry to find Luo Zhiguo. When he heard Gao Yang greet him, he simply nodded and then pushed open the office door and went inside.

Luo Zhiguo, who was sitting at his desk handling official business, saw someone push the door open and looked up instinctively, only to see that it was Chen Hua.

He was slightly taken aback at first, then immediately stood up and quickly went to meet her.

Then, extending his hand and smiling, he said, "Hello, Secretary Chen! If you needed anything, just give me a call and I'll come up right away. Why did you come all the way down here..."

"Hahaha! Mayor Luo, you're too kind. It's all the same who goes to whose office; there's no need for such formalities."

Chen Hua felt very comfortable seeing how respectful he was. He smiled and exchanged a few polite words before sitting down on the sofa.

Luo Zhiguo also sat down on the sofa and urged Gao Yang to make tea quickly.

A moment later, after Gao Yang brought the tea and left, Chen Hua's expression turned serious. He looked at Luo Zhiguo and said in a deep voice, "Mayor Luo! I might be transferred."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo frowned, looked at him, and asked in a deep voice, "Secretary Chen! Why are you being transferred?"

Chen Hua sighed slightly, and then recounted the speech given at the county's standing committee meeting yesterday afternoon.

He paused, then gave a wry smile and continued, "Mayor Luo! To be honest, I don't want to leave either. I want to work with you to develop Bohou Town, but someone wants me to go, so I have to say..."

"What! Liu Ming is coming to Bohou Town to be the Party Secretary...?"

Upon hearing his words, Luo Zhiguo suddenly stood up, his face filled with disbelief and a gasp of surprise.

Chen Hua nodded, then lit a cigarette and said nothing more.

This news shocked Luo Zhiguo. He never imagined that Liu Ming would return to Bohou Town to serve as the Party Secretary.

This is truly unbelievable and absurd.

It's worth noting that when Liu Ming was the town mayor, the problem arose because the buyers had absconded, and he was unable to resolve the aloe vera issue in the villages.

Fearing that he would get caught up in it, he left Bohou Town.

Now he's going back to Bohou Town to serve as the Party Secretary. I really don't know how he has the nerve to come back.
