In name only, I, Gao Yuliang, will sink Handong at worst.

All eyes were on Chen Hai and Ji Changming, wanting an explanation from them.

As the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, it is only natural that Gao Yuliang would pay attention to this matter.

This is just the normal procedure!

Ji Changming also looked at Chen Hai, indicating that he knew nothing about this matter: "Chen Hai, you should quickly tell Secretary Yu Liang and Governor Liu what exactly happened? I didn't know either. I saw him going on a mission, stopped him to ask, and that's why I brought him here to the Provincial Party Committee to request instructions."

Ji Changming knew he was about to retire, with only one year left, and he didn't want to be blamed for anything!

"I received a notification from the Supreme People's Procuratorate that Ding Yizhen bribed a section chief in Beijing with nearly ten million yuan. To prevent Ding Yizhen from fleeing, they have taken action directly." Chen Hai lowered his head, not daring to look at Gao Yuliang and the other standing committee members.

"Whose orders? Was it Director Qin Siyuan, Deputy Director Hong Angao, or Deputy Director Li Mingli?" Gao Yuliang's voice was calm but carried a hint of questioning.

"Monkey." Chen Hai slowly uttered the two words.

Li Dakang looked at Chen Hai and couldn't help but ask, "How come I've never heard of a director in the Anti-Corruption Bureau named Monkey?"

Gao Yuliang gave Qi Tongwei a wink. Qi Tongwei had been standing silently to the side. When a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee was speaking, how could Qi Tongwei have the right to speak?

It's clear now that Gao Yuliang doesn't want to explain anymore and is making me explain.

Qi Tongwei quickly added, "Let me clarify, 'Monkey' is not the bureau chief, but the head of the First Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. His name is Hou Liangping, and his nickname is 'Monkey.'"

Gao Yuliang looked at Chen Hai and said with some distress, "He's only a division-level official, ordering you, a bureau-level official, around. Does he have no sense of propriety at all? Do you have any documents from the Supreme People's Procuratorate?"

"The documents are still in Beijing."

"Then you must have a fax! If not, an electronically scanned photo will do too," Gao Yuliang couldn't help but ask. For them, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, procedural compliance was the most important thing.

If the procedure is not compliant, then even if the result is correct, you are still wrong. If everything is compliant and legal, then even if the structure is wrong but the process is correct, you are still right.

"It hasn't been sent yet. I'll call and ask him."

Li Dakang looked at Ji Changming and said, "Chief Prosecutor Ji, your subordinates aren't any better! They're trying to double-regulate our provincial-level officials without any official documents, just based on a single statement from a section chief in Beijing. What a display of power!"

"If this affects the Bright Peak project, can you take responsibility?"

Hearing these words, Chen Hai became anxious and dialed Hou Liangping's number.

"Speakerless recording." Gao Yuliang couldn't help but remind Chen Hai, who did as Gao Yuliang instructed.

At this moment, Hou Liangping was feeling troubled. He had just been scolded by his father-in-law, and now he was hoping that Chen Hai would put Ding Yizhen under investigation.

"Chen Hai, have you arrested Ding Yizhen yet?!"

Upon hearing the form of address, the Standing Committee members present had only one feeling: it was disrespectful. Chen Hai was by no means the other party's subordinate, so why address him by his name like that?

"I'm reporting to the provincial party committee standing committee right now. Monkey, do you have the Supreme People's Procuratorate's approval document for the arrest? Send it to me quickly." Chen Hai said anxiously, ignoring Hou Liangping's words.

"You should put Ding Yizhen under investigation first. The evidence is conclusive. Don't worry too much about the procedures. I'll handle it for you later, okay?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately filled with anger. What did they mean by "don't care so much about the procedure"? I'll make it up to you later.

Ji Changming, who was standing next to him, turned pale.

"I need the approval document right now. Without the document, I cannot arrest Ding Yizhen."

Hearing Chen Hai's excuses, Hou Liangping was also a little angry. He had just been scolded by his father-in-law and now had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Chen Hai, I'm telling you, go there right now and arrest Ding Yizhen. If he escapes, I'll have to explain myself to you."

Gao Yuliang reached out and took the phone from Chen Hai.

"Hou Liangping, this is Gao Yuliang. Didn't you want an explanation? I'm giving you an explanation on behalf of the Handong Provincial Committee. Is this explanation sufficient?"

Hou Liangping immediately realized that Chen Hai wasn't the only one listening; there were likely other people from Handong listening as well.

"Teacher Gao."

"When we're working, we refer to plants. I remember I taught basic etiquette in official circles during class!"

"Secretary Gao."

"Ding Yizhen is a provincial-level cadre in Handong Province. Since the Supreme People's Procuratorate did not send any documents to him, it means that Handong Province is handling the matter. Is that sufficient explanation?"

After saying that, Gao Yuliang hung up the phone.

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, I think your procuratorate needs to learn about procedural fairness. We'll deal with this later; let's discuss how to handle Ding Yizhen first!"

No one's attention was on Chen Hai; discussing how to deal with Ding Yizhen was far more important than dealing with Chen Hai.

Li Dakang stepped forward and said, "I suggest that regarding this matter in Jingzhou City, why don't we just have Zhang Shuli, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, take Ding Yizhen away directly?"

The group glanced at it but said nothing, which meant they had no objections.

Gao Yuliang thought for a moment, "The new secretary is here, why don't we ask Secretary Sha for his approval on the results?"

Upon hearing Gao Yuliang's idea, everyone expressed their agreement. Although everyone tended to have Li Dakang placed under investigation for Ding Yizhen, they also had to consider the opinion of the top leader.

Gao Yuliang called Sha Ruijin directly, on speakerphone, and the call was recorded.

"Secretary Sha, this is Gao Yuliang. I need your instructions on something."

"Secretary Yuliang, this is Sha Ruijin."

Gao Yuliang then described Ding Yizhen's situation once more.

"I'm not at the provincial party committee office right now, so please give instructions on my behalf!"

Sha Ruijin was worried that if he didn't understand the situation, he would fall into a trap. On his first day there, he reported this matter that very evening.

"Currently, the opinion of the Standing Committee here is that since Zhang Shuli, the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, has placed Ding Yizhen under investigation, the impact will be kept to a minimum. What do you think, Secretary Sha?"

How could Gao Yuliang let Sha Ruijin act as a non-stick pan?

"Didn't I say that you make the decision with your camera?"

"I cannot represent the provincial party secretary and cannot make a decision on my own. I would like to ask Secretary Sha to make the decision."
