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

Hearing Gao Yuliang's words, Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. So it was a blind date!

He had heard of Lu Yike and knew about her relationship with Gao Yuliang. She was a secretary, after all! She couldn't be completely clueless about her superiors' relationships. If things could turn out well, it would definitely be helpful to him.

"I'm not asking you to do anything. It's just a blind date. If you like each other, continue. If you don't, find someone else. Having a stable home base is very important."

……

Lu Yike arrested many people in Lincheng, including several local department heads, mainly responsible for security and resource approval.

Lu Yike learned that her uncle-in-law had wiped out all the underworld in Jinghai, and also swept away the drug trafficking in Tazhai. Qi Tongwei had even been praised by the Ministry of Public Security. She thought that if she could clean up Jinghai, she would get a lot of credit.

Unfortunately, no.

Lin Cheng's inspection tour has ended this week, and she has a day off this weekend. She plans to go back to Jingzhou and then visit another city.

After returning home, Lu Yike couldn't help but ask, "Dad, Mom, why did so many things happen in Handong after I went down to inspect? I suspect my uncle deliberately sent me out to prevent me from participating in major operations."

Wu Xinyi poked Lu Yike's forehead and said, "I'm not letting you participate for your own good. Do you think this kind of operation is a good thing? It's all about risking your life over there. Even the Ministry of Public Security is involved. You're not afraid of losing your life, but I am! Look how well they're dealing with corrupt officials these days!"

"Your mother is right. You think those achievements came from risking your life? It's all about putting your head on the line. What I didn't expect was that Gao Yuliang, who looks like a scholar, would be so ruthless," Lu Kang said.

Hearing her parents' reprimand, Lu Yike didn't dare to say anything, because the previous operation was too big and beyond her control. It even involved He Liming and such a high-ranking official.

Lu Yike remembered that Chen Hai had been demoted a couple of days ago. She had heard about it; Chen Hai had actually been ordered by a minor section chief in Beijing to arrest someone, which was a mistake.

She was quite dissatisfied with Hou Liangping when she overheard the two talking on the phone. She was happy that Hou Liangping was demoted, but she was somewhat unhappy about Chen Hai's demotion.

"Why was Chen Hai demoted?" Lu Yike still wanted to find out about Chen Hai from her parents.

"Who told Chen Hai to handle the case illegally? He offended the new provincial party secretary. Yi Ke, I have to say something to you about your personality. You can't be like Chen Hai and Hou Liangping!"

"Our country governs by law, which means not only others must abide by the law, but also the public security, procuratorial, and judicial departments must respect the law! Isn't Yu Liang arresting those low-level public officials who break the law?" Wu Xinyi, as a judge, is certainly more concerned.

"Would you like to go to that Starbucks this weekend?"

"What are you going over there for?"

"Of course, it's a blind date!"

"Mom, I'm planning to focus on my career now. There are so many cities in Handong waiting for me to inspect them," Lu Yike said. She had no intention of going on blind dates.

"Don't make excuses like that. What girl is over thirty and still unmarried? Forget about Chen Hai. His ex-wife is still alive. Let me tell you, you can't marry Chen Hai, no matter who you marry."

Lu Yike was unhappy after hearing Wu Xinyi's words.

"What's wrong with Chen Hai?"

"I don't know if Chen Hai is good or not, but I know Chen Yanshi has a bad temper. You'll only suffer if you marry him. Chen Yanshi doesn't only have Chen Hai as a son; he also has Chen Shan and Chen Yang. Have you ever seen either of them come back? They were driven away by Chen Yanshi."

"I asked Chen Hai's ex-wife about it. She couldn't stand Chen Yanshi's temper, so she left. Let me tell you what Chen Yanshi's temper is like." Wu Xinyi pulled Lu Yike to sit down and started talking badly about Chen Yanshi.

"Chen Yanshi interferes with everything he sees that displeases him. Have you ever seen someone even interfere with a couple's sex life? In the first few days after Chen Hai got married, he got a little carried away and became listless the next day. Chen Yanshi felt that he was ruining Chen Hai's life, so he directly set a rule on the frequency of that. No more than once a week, so as not to affect Chen Hai."

"When other people were eating, Chen Yanshi would interfere. Later, after she had a child, when Chen Hai's ex-wife went out to eat McDonald's, Chen Yanshi would also interfere, saying that it was not good for the child."

"Do you really think Chen Yanshi is so selfless? By creating the title of the Second Procuratorate, what will others think of your Handong Procuratorate? You've offended everyone in the Handong Procuratorate. How many cases reported by Chen Yanshi will the Anti-Corruption Bureau have to handle? Does Hai have to work?"

"You know that Qi Tongwei was assigned to Guyingling Judicial Office back then! That was Chen Yanshi's doing. Why? Because he didn't want Qi Tongwei to take away the Chen family's political resources."

Wu Xinyi also told Lu Yike all about Chen Yanshi's unsavory behavior.

"Chen Hai is a filial son and always goes along with Chen Yanshi. If you marry into that family, the same thing that happened to his ex-wife will happen to you. Besides, you can call your aunt's husband and ask him. Chen Yanshi used to be his boss, so he definitely knows more."

Lu Yike was somewhat incredulous, so she called Gao Yuliang and explained the situation.

Gao Yuliang nodded and said, "Your mother is right, and Chen Yanshi soon got into trouble too. He's now leading the protection of Dafeng Factory. Do you know how he's doing it?"

"It's extremely extreme. They're digging trenches and making Molotov cocktails there. To put it nicely, they're protecting the Dafeng factory. To put it bluntly, they're defying the government and disregarding their own and others' safety."

"Another thing, which I've heard but haven't confirmed yet, is that Chen Yanshi previously kept a mistress. Don't spread this around. Besides, the person you went on a blind date with is my secretary. He's a promising young man I've painstakingly cultivated, and he's quite handsome. Do you think my judgment is bad?"
