Nominal: Student Union? The school's Youth League Committee!

Qi Tongwei is now worried that he might be used as a pawn.

Now that I've arrested Hou Liangping, I'll be the one pushed out to take the blame when something comes up.

Even though I know the chances are slim, I still can't help but worry.

"What? Worried?" Wang Wenbo glanced at Qi Tongwei and asked with a smile.

Under Wang Wenbo's gaze, Qi Tongwei felt as if he had no secrets at all.

His father-in-law's teachings still resonated in his mind.

When facing Wang Wenbo, don't even think about hiding anything, especially his obvious flaws that are almost immediately obvious to anyone.

He now felt like a martial arts hero dueling with someone.

My father-in-law was a respected mentor who taught me, and I could almost always find the answer in his teachings whenever I encountered danger.

"Governor Wenbo, to be honest..."

"To say I'm not worried at all would be a lie!"

"After all, they're from Beijing, with the provincial party secretary, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Zhong family backing them up!"

"How arrogant those monkeys used to be!"

"His attitude makes it easy to guess his background!"

"But I, Qi Tongwei, still understand the principle of remaining faithful to one's husband to the end!"

"Now that I've chosen this path, I won't regret it!"

"Governor Wenbo's orders must be carried out!"

"You, you seem to have really learned a lot from your father-in-law!" Wang Wenbo said, pointing at Qi Tongwei with a laugh.

"I'm much more organized in my speech and actions now than before!"

"It's also comforting!"

"Those are well said!" After laughing, Wang Wenbo's expression turned serious.

"You're certainly right to be worried!"

"However, this order was decided by the Provincial Party Committee!"

"Secretary Sha of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Yuliang, Secretary Dakang, and I—all four of us were present!"

"Furthermore, Secretary Sha contacted leaders of the Supreme People's Procuratorate!"

"Everyone agrees to arrest Hou Liangping!"

"What? So many leaders?" Qi Tongwei was stunned.

"Did Liangping accidentally trespass into the imperial palace? Or did he break some heavenly rule?"

"It was a joke, but it's not far off!" Wang Wenbo said.

"You know where this meeting is being held!"

"And you've probably heard about the news that a leader has come down, haven't you?"

"It's still a secret down there, but quite a few people at the top know about it!"

"All the members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee know this, but has Uncle Gao told you?"

"I told you, it's supposedly you!" Qi Tongwei said, then stopped talking.

"I'm quite optimistic that one of my superiors will step down!" Wang Wenbo said.

"However, regardless of whether the leader who came down from me was optimistic about me, he's still my leader!"

"He's even the leader of our country now!"

"Those are the kind of people who can truly be considered politicians!"

"Hou Liangping ignored the warnings and launched an investigation into the area!"

"And they even installed a bugging device inside. The evidence is irrefutable!" Wang Wenbo said.

"What?" Qi Tongwei shouted.

"Is he insane?"

Even considering Qi Tongwei's past and present political abilities, they weren't particularly outstanding.

But they can also understand just how serious this matter is, especially since they come from a political and legal background and can better understand the significance of the matter.

"Who knows? Or maybe it's like those so-called rich kids or celebrity kids from a few years ago—ignorance is bliss!"

"He really is capable of anything!" Wang Wenbo said, shaking his head.

"They actually dared to do such a thing! They have absolutely no sense of respect!"

"It's no surprise that they ended up like this!"

"If we don't deal with him now, he might cause even bigger trouble in the future!"

"Now do you realize how serious his situation is?" Wang Wenbo asked.

"Understood!" Qi Tongwei nodded.

"And don't even mention that leaders will come; they will definitely investigate!" Wang Wenbo continued.

"Even without leadership, the provincial government will absolutely not give up!"

"The provincial party committee must give us an explanation!"

"In that case, there's still a chance Hou Liangping will be released!"

"However, the Zhong family will have to pay a huge price to appease our Handong Provincial Government!"

"Although the Zhong family holds high positions of power, they cannot do things that break the rules!"

"The Zhong family isn't capable of wielding absolute power and acting with impunity!"

"Afterwards, Hou Liangping will likely be expelled from the Zhong family!"

"But now, I think the Zhong family probably won't even bother to save them!"

"I see. So, does that mean Liangping has no hope?" Qi Tongwei asked.

"There's no hope. The best outcome is probably just being expelled!" Wang Wenbo said.

"It's not just about being dismissed from within the system; the Chung family will probably fire him too!"

"We might even have to live under surveillance from now on!"

"If things get even worse, we might lose our freedom!"

"Liangping really is something else!" Qi Tongwei didn't know how to evaluate his junior at this point.

Perhaps it really is as my junior said: ignorance is bliss.

The Zhong family's powerful background gave the monkey unparalleled confidence, but it also harmed Hou Liangping.

And just as they guessed, after making the call, it was impossible for the leader not to know about it.

The matter was directly reported to Dean Li, as well as the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the State Security Department, and other relevant authorities.

The aforementioned individuals have now heard some of the news. Although they don't take it to heart, it doesn't mean they're ignoring it.

Maintaining respect for and respect for the leader's privacy is something they all tacitly agree on.

Finally, someone gave the order: Dean Li was to go and find Zhong Zhengguo, the head of the Zhong family and now the deputy secretary in charge of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

In terms of status, he is no less than Dean Li; both are figures among the heavens.

We do have some overlap in our work, but not much; one of us works in economics, and the other in cadre discipline.

However, on this particular day, after the secretary made arrangements, a time was agreed upon, and they sat in the same office.

"Comrade Zhengguo, my visit to you this time is not solely on my behalf!" Dean Li said to Zhong Zhengguo after finishing his tea.

They used to practice Tai Chi sometimes, but now they don't need to anymore.

Everyone is quite busy, especially Zhong Zhengguo, who is now looking for loopholes in the Zhao family and putting increasing pressure on Zhao Lichun.

If it weren't for the connections Zhao Lichun still had with people in the south, he would have been taken down long ago.

Even so, some progress has been made, and Zhao Lichun's space for survival is getting smaller and smaller.

"Oh? Is there any instruction from the organization?" Zhong Zhengguo, whose status was equal to that of Dean Li, asked slowly, showing no fear of Dean Li.

"It's hardly an explanation!" Dean Li continued.

"There's something I need to discuss with Comrade Zheng Guo!"

"I'm all ears!" Zhong Zhengguo said with a smile.

"This is your son-in-law, Comrade Hou Liangping!" Dean Li introduced the situation in Handong.

Zhong Zhengguo had only heard the initial explanation; after that, he felt as if his mind was submerged in water, as if there was always a layer separating him from the rest of the information.

What Dean Li said seemed like a dream to him; he hadn't received much more information since.

Dean Li also noticed his condition. When have people of their status and position ever been in such a state?

"Comrade Zhengguo?" Dean Li asked, looking at him.

"Of course, the organization is willing to trust our own comrades!"

"But the necessary investigations should still be conducted, don't you think?"

"Yes, Dean Li, you're right. It should be investigated, thoroughly investigated!" Zhong Zhengguo said.

"Our ancestors sacrificed their lives to achieve the prosperity we enjoy today; we will not let them, their successors, squander it!"
