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

Gao Yuliang spoke to Sha Ruijin in such a way, and his words were indeed unusually domineering.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Gao Yuliang was the top official in the provincial party committee! His tough stance immediately made it clear to those around him that he was trying to shift the blame.

Gao Yuliang was naturally innocent; he was from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission! Whether it was official corruption or land relocation, it had nothing to do with Gao Yuliang.

If the decision is made by the camera and something goes wrong, then Gao Yuliang will have to take responsibility. Although he is not afraid, he is not willing to be blamed for something for no reason.

Sha Ruijin hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Gao Yuliang was disobeying him, and his desire to get rid of Gao Yuliang grew stronger.

Not only did he amass so much money, but he also challenged his own authority as secretary.

"I'm out here and don't know the truth of the matter. You are cadres from Handong, and it should be up to you to make the decision." Although Sha Ruijin was very displeased, he still verbally shirked responsibility.

Gao Yuliang glanced at Li Dakang, wondering if the other man wanted to speak, because Ding Yizhen was under Li Dakang's command, and even if things had to be discussed slowly, he was the most anxious one.

Because everyone else is indifferent, but Ding Yizhen is the deputy mayor under Li Dakang. Who knows when the Supreme People's Procuratorate will issue a document!

At that point, it will be beyond my control.

Li Dakang answered the phone directly, "Secretary Sha, it's me, Li Dakang. Ding Yizhen is currently in charge of the 25 billion yuan Guangming Peak project. If he is really taken away by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, it will have a great impact on both the economy of Jingzhou and the economy of Handong."

"The Standing Committee has now decided that the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee will take control of Ding Yizhen. We would like to ask Secretary Sha to help approve the decision and allow Jingzhou to control Ding Yizhen within its jurisdiction."

"Since everyone agrees, then I agree too." Sha Ruijin also agreed, and if anything happens, the whole team will share the responsibility.

Li Dakang hung up the phone, then called Zhang Shuli and asked him to bring people to the Jingzhou Hotel to "double-regulate" Ding Yizhen.

After all these orders were issued, it was clear that both Li Dakang and Ji Changming breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the person is detained, it's no longer up to the Supreme People's Procuratorate to decide. Even if they want the person, they'll have to issue an official letter and go through internal wrangling. It's easy to get stuck with the process.

At that point, it might be processed directly within the Jingzhou system.

When Li Dakang was about to leave the house, Gao Yuliang stopped him.

"Secretary Dakang, Ding Yizhen hasn't been caught yet. Why don't we stay here? If we go out and Ding Yizhen escapes, we won't be able to explain ourselves," Gao Yuliang said.

"You suspect me of colluding with Ding Yizhen, don't you?" Li Dakang used the death stare technique on Gao Yuliang.

"How could that be? Your words, Li Dakang, that 'I don't do business with merchants' are well-known in Handong. Everyone knows how much you cherish your reputation. It's just that if this kind of thing gets out, and then the person runs away, it'll be hard to explain."

Li Dakang didn't argue. Instead, he sat down, took out a cigarette, and said, "It shouldn't be a problem for me to have a smoke here, right?"

Gao Yuliang noticed that the cigarette in Li Dakang's hand was a Liqun brand. "Please, feel free to smoke it. But it's only good for yourself if you smoke it yourself; it's better for everyone to smoke it!"

He reached out and took Li Dakang's cigarettes, distributing them to everyone, including the secretary who was there. It was indeed one of the few forms of entertainment available here.

"Professors always have a lot of fallacies." Li Dakang looked at the cigarette box, which was mostly empty.

Afterwards, Gao Yuliang gave Chen Hai a lesson here. Although he didn't know if this rebellious disciple would cause trouble like Hou Liangping, he was still his disciple. Gao Yuliang explained to Chen Hai what procedural legitimacy and legal procedures meant.

Four Nine Cities.

Hou Liangping hung up on Chen Hai and couldn't help but get angry. "You're a corrupt official. What reason do you have, and what right do you have to lecture me?"

He picked up his phone, intending to smash it on the ground, but in the end he didn't. He wasn't afraid of the phone's price, but rather that if he smashed it, he wouldn't be able to reach anyone who wanted to contact him.

If Gao Yuliang really manages to control Ding Yizhen, what will he do? He knows his father-in-law's plans, though he doesn't know the specifics, but Ding Yizhen is definitely a key breakthrough point.

He quickly called his father-in-law for advice, but ended up being scolded by his father-in-law for about ten minutes.
