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

Inside Courtyard No. 3, Handong.

Qi Tongwei, Gao Yuliang, and Wu Huifen sat at a table with a large plate of braised pork, shrimp, and scrambled eggs with chives on it. Usually, Gao Yuliang's family didn't cook that much.

The main reason is that Qi Tongwei is coming. If we serve some dishes like those from Shanghai, a big plate but not much, just a few bites of braised pork, how could Qi Tongwei dare to eat it!

Seeing Qi Tongwei eat so much, Gao Yuliang couldn't help but eat a little more himself.

After dinner, Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei went to the study.

"Tongwei, how's the matter I asked you to handle?"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback; his teacher had given him a lot of instructions.

"The most important one."

Upon hearing Gao Yuliang's words, Qi Tongwei immediately sat up straight, no longer feeling tired. If this matter was handled well, it would be a great achievement for his teacher, and also for himself.

If Tazhai had occurred in Handong Province, everyone would have been punished; but if it had occurred in other provinces, well, sorry.

This would add another achievement to their record, and Qi Tongwei might even be able to get another first-class merit. Now that Qi Tongwei is at the department level, he can no longer be at the forefront.

There are only a little over 200 first-class merits in the entire army every year. He wanted his disciple to use this first-class merit to be promoted to deputy provincial level with dignity. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have only been close to 20,000 first-class merits in total. Being able to get one more first-class merit is definitely a good thing.

Gao Yuliang has only received one collective second-class merit and one second-class merit. Don't think that just because he's a scholar, he's a muscle-bound guy who spends all day hoeing the fields.

Teacher Gao doesn't take action simply because he disdains to, not because he lacks the ability.

"We arranged for people to infiltrate Gao Qisheng's group a long time ago. Now we can basically confirm that it came from Tazhai. After investigating and exploring Tazhai, we found that it is a clan village with strict clan rules and laws, bound by deep blood ties."

"In this village, almost every household has someone involved. In the early days, a lot of waste was just thrown away. Can you believe it? There were even signs prohibiting the littering of drug-making waste back then. Now it's more regulated. They probably make drugs on boats. Every time they receive a big order, numbered XXX, young people from the village go fishing at long distances. They're out there now, and it's uncertain when they'll be back."

"In addition, there should also be manufacturing in the village. Small batches are usually produced in the village, and the water is directly discharged into the groundwater hundreds of meters deep, which has been confirmed by testing."

"Furthermore, I strongly suspect that the other party has a protector; otherwise, how could they have obtained the title of model anti-drug village?" Qi Tongwei directly told Gao Yuliang what he had found out.

This is definitely a credit!

"That's right, Chen Wenze is probably their protector, and the local police chief is very likely already corrupt."

Qi Tongwei knew he had a protector, but he didn't know whether it was at the provincial or municipal level. The teacher had pinpointed him so quickly and accurately.

Moreover, the news about Tazhai was given to me by my teacher.

"Teacher, how did you know?" Qi Tongwei couldn't help but ask.

"It's enough that you know; there's no need to ask more. I'll tell you what I need to tell you, and there's no point in telling you what I shouldn't. Your teacher wouldn't harm you."

Qi Tongwei nodded. He knew Gao Yuliang wouldn't harm him. There were many things in officialdom he didn't understand. Either Gao Yuliang would explain after this matter, or he would send him to find Liang Qunfeng and ask the old secretary Liang for help.

What you shouldn't know is what you shouldn't know.

"Sigh." Gao Yuliang couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher, why are you sighing for no reason? The situation is very promising!" Qi Tongwei knew that he and his teacher would be credited for their efforts.

"I just feel like my teaching career has been somewhat of a failure!" Qi Tongwei's eyes widened, his gaze full of incomprehension.

"What failures are there? You have taught three outstanding students from Han University. I am a department director and will soon be promoted to vice-provincial level. Chen Hai is also a department director, and Hou Liangping is a section chief. They have handled many major cases in Beijing."

"You don't understand any political rules. You are indeed good at handling cases and drug enforcement, but your political awareness is too low. If it weren't for your teacher and Secretary Liang's help, you would never have been able to reach the provincial level. At first, I thought it was because you grew up in the countryside and didn't understand. I've been telling you this for over twenty years, and your awareness is still so low."

"As for Chen Hai, his methods of handling cases are so crude, he has no respect for his superiors, and he always calls him 'Old Ji.' Lu Yike is the same. They were also dragged down by Chen Yanshi."

"As for Hou Liangping, his problem is the most serious. He only cares about justice and not about procedures. You have seen him handle a lot of major cases, how many of which were 'successful' halfway through, and how many of them violated procedures. He just relies on the power of the Zhong family. If he were in a different place, a single case could crush him. In my opinion, Hou Liangping and Chen Hai are not as good as Chen Qingquan and Xiao Gangyu."

"Don't I still have you?" Qi Tongwei knew he was no good, and his main source of support was Teacher Gao.

"Alright, you've been like this for more than just a day or two." Gao Yuliang wanted to kick Qi Tongwei a few times, but having a student like this was already quite good. After becoming an official, everyone had to be careful when speaking to him. There were no students or teachers in the officialdom, only power struggles.

Fortunately, he had a group of students, and apart from Hou Liangping and Chen Hai, no one had ever betrayed him.

"With your personality, it will be difficult for you to advance further after becoming a vice-governor." Gao Yuliang looked at Qi Tongwei, wondering how someone with his temperament could possibly compete with those old foxes.

Fortunately, the other party was in the public security department. There are all sorts of internal struggles in the public security department, but they value heroes even more. As long as you are a true hero and a real good man, then everyone will still respect and admire you.

But in the political arena, achievements don't matter!

"At worst, I'll just work in the public security department for the rest of my life! As long as I can protect the peace of Handong, that's enough. How high do you think an official has to go to be considered a high-ranking one?" Qi Tongwei's eyes gleamed as he said this.

"Fine! Then you can forget about your position as vice governor."

"No, teacher! You still need to improve when it's time to improve."

"Hahaha."

Gao Yuliang couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you."

"Of Lin Zonghui's three sons in the third branch of the family in Tazhai, one is dead and another is crippled. All of them were killed by Lin Yaodong. Lin Zonghui was unaware of the truth before. Lin Shengwu and Lin Shengwen, the two main henchmen of the other three branches, were also killed by Lin Yaodong."

"You can look for clues and then make contact with him. He probably harbors hatred towards Lin Yaodong."

"In addition, Lin Yaodong of Dongshan City plans to conduct a transaction at 10 pm on October 21 in the XX sea area at XX east longitude and XX north latitude. The manufacturing location includes Tazhai and two large fishing boats, which will enter the domestic waters on October 17. The fishing boat number is XX."

Gao Yuliang gave the information to Qi Tongwei, "This is information I obtained from my side. It's just preliminary information, and you'll need to make your judgment. This time, we must eradicate this cancer."
