Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

In a single sentence, the power of investigation was directly elevated to the provincial party committee level.

They forcefully suppressed Wu Xiongfei's urge to hold him accountable on the spot.

Wu Xiongfei was itching with anxiety; now was the perfect opportunity to seize command of the Guangming Peak project.

He desperately needs a remarkable achievement to solidify his position, or even go further, and the Guangming Peak project is the perfect target.

Guangming Peak is still under construction, and it can be considered Li Dakang's political achievement.

If I were to be credited as the chief commander, I would also have made a significant contribution.

If Sha Ruijin recommends me for improvement and I achieve results, that would be wonderful.

He didn't care at all about the demolition of Dafeng Factory, thinking that it would definitely have been demolished if it weren't for Chen Yanshi.

It's just a matter of time.

Wu Xiongfei immediately spoke up, his tone exceptionally firm, "Secretary Dakang, I propose that Ding Yizhen be removed from his title as the chief commander of the Guangming Peak project."

Originally, I had a heavy workload, but now that I've completed it, it's only right that I, as the mayor, take the lead personally.

Standing Committee member and Vice Mayor Han Baoqiang opportunely echoed this sentiment, taking sides as the opportunity presented itself.

"I support Mayor Wu's opinion."

Now that the position of executive vice mayor is vacant, the two of them are the only two standing committee members of the municipal government, and they must unite to face external challenges together.

All eyes were focused on Li Dakang.

Awaiting final decision.

Li Dakang tapped the outside of the teacup lightly with his fingertips, his face expressionless.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke calmly, making the final decision.

"Comrades, I think we should wait for now."

Mayor Wu, next we will focus on how to develop Jingzhou's economy.

If Ding Yizhen is replaced and the developers abscond and withdraw from Jingzhou, who will take the blame?

"Comrade Xiongfei, should you, as the second-in-command, carry him, or should Vice Mayor Baoqiang carry him?"

The proposals of both individuals were rejected outright.

A typical case of one-man rule by the top leader.

Before other members of the Standing Committee could express their opinions, Li Dakang, the mayor, directly set the tone.

Wu Xiongfei's face instantly turned somewhat ugly, but he dared not refute it in public.

Using development as a burden, one feels stifled and unable to express their suffering.

Ding Yizhen let out a long sigh of relief; a layer of sweat had already seeped out from his back.

He secretly raised an eyebrow, completely letting his guard down.

He accepted the gifts cleanly, leaving no substantial evidence against him.

Even if people from the province come to investigate, they won't find anything suspicious.

Besides, would those who give gifts admit that they did?

If they admit it, they are also guilty of bribery.

It was a false alarm; all was well.

Leaning against the big tree is good for the coolness.

Ding Yizhen then thought it was acceptable.

Based on his observations and thoughts over the past few days, Li Dakang transformed what was originally planned as an accountability meeting into an economic development exchange meeting.

Zhang Shuli felt that Li Dakang still trusted Ding Yizhen and couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, Ding Yizhen was his capable assistant.

Four Nine Cities.

Zhong Xiaoai's home.

master bedroom.

The air conditioner is on.

Hou Liangping was shirtless, his muscles clearly defined.

I just finished a set of push-ups and slowly got up, supporting myself on the ground.

Hearing the heavy breathing, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't stop laughing.

Zhong Xiaoai sat on the edge of the bed and gently clapped her hands.

His tone was flat, with a hint of approval.

"Monkey, you did a good job today."

Hou Liangping casually grabbed a towel from the bedside table to wipe his sweat.

He had no time to think about anything else; his mind was completely occupied with the case.

"Honey, how's the case going?"

He is impatient.

He was determined to solve major cases and make great contributions.

As long as he handles a major case and his father-in-law, Zhong Zhengguo, gives his approval, he can easily be promoted to deputy director level and narrow the gap with others.

Haste makes waste.

But the monkey still wanted to eat.

Zhong Xiaoai rolled her eyes at Hou Liangping, then opened the bedside table drawer, inside which was a file folder.

He pinched the bag opening with his fingertips and casually tossed it in front of Hou Liangping.

"Monkey, the whistleblower and all the clues are almost the same. Our inspection office can definitely handle this case."

However, I will still leave it to you.

I have already communicated with the whistleblower and arranged for him to go to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate to see you tomorrow.

"Let's go through the case filing process. Go see Director Qin tomorrow to complete the arrest warrant."

Hou Liangping's eyes lit up, and he plopped down on the edge of the bed.

He opened the file folder and looked through it repeatedly, his excitement barely concealed.

"Thank you, my dear wife."

The document bag contained a fairly complete set of materials, and the details of the case were clear at a glance.

A mine owner from the south bribed Zhao Dehan, a section chief in the Ministry of Chemical Energy, with five million yuan.

As a result, the approval procedures were delayed for a long time.

Ultimately, the approval was rejected.

This is a classic case of spending money but getting nothing in return.

When the mine owner came to Zhao Dehan to demand the return of the bribe money, Zhao Dehan was arrogant and refused to return a single penny.

In addition, the whistleblower letter also included another important clue.

Ding Yizhen, the vice mayor of Jingzhou City, Handong Province, has repeatedly bribed Zhao Dehan privately, suspected of transferring benefits.

Ding Yizhen is a high-ranking official at the department level and a powerful figure in Jingzhou City.

A line connects Jingzhou and the Ministry of Chemical Energy.

This is definitely a major serial crime case.

I don't know how many people will be involved.

It could be dozens or even hundreds.

Hou Liangping became more and more excited as he looked at the document. He grabbed the prosecutor's uniform and hurriedly put it on.

Zhong Xiaoai reached out and grabbed his arm. "Monkey, what are you doing?"

Where are you going in the middle of the night?

Hou Liangping turned around and glanced at the woman. "Wife, you are so beautiful."

I will immediately notify my men to arrest Zhao Dehan and take him down tonight, lest things get complicated.

"We will head directly to Jingzhou tomorrow and capture Ding Yizhen."

That's a very nice idea.

Zhong Xiaoai frowned slightly and asked, "Monkey, has the case filing procedure been approved?"

Taking action rashly in the middle of the night would have a negative impact.

The energy sector is deeply entrenched and a tough nut to crack.

If you're going to take action, you have to make them feel bad and scared all at once, otherwise they'll inevitably suffer a crazy backlash afterward.

"Monkey, do you really think Song Yunhui, the Executive Vice Minister of the Ministry of Chemical Industry and Energy, is a pushover?"

A few words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him.

moment.

Suppress the restlessness in Hou Liangping's heart.

"Don't go anywhere now, just lie down and sleep with me."

His tone was flat, yet carried an unquestionable air of command.

Hou Liangping didn't dare to move an inch, feeling a bit disappointed.

The promotion process has been stalled.

Compared to Chen Hai, who is the same age, and Qi Tongwei, who has risen through the ranks, the difference is obvious.

They're riding rockets, while I feel like I'm riding a horse-drawn carriage.

I felt indignant, yet there was nothing I could do.

Everyone knows that Hou Liangping is, in the end, the son-in-law of the Zhong family.

If you eat someone else's food, you have to listen to them and have no temper.

You can't fight city hall.

Hou Liangping silently put down his clothes, turned off the light, and obediently lay back down on the bed.

He reached out and hugged Zhong Xiaoai beside him.

Tonight, an exception was made; Zhong Xiaoai didn't ask Hou Liangping to submit a report, which saved a lot of trouble.

While seemingly cooperating with Zhong Xiaoai, her mind was racing.

Compared to progress, Xiao Ai is not as appealing.

Some things can be done every day from now on.

The major case in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Energy is so exciting and thrilling.

Each arrest plan and interrogation script was repeatedly rehearsed in my mind.

I made up my mind that I had to get it all out of the way tomorrow, uprooting it completely.

Before I knew it, drowsiness crept in.

The calm before a storm is always exceptionally quiet.

the other side.

Song Yunhui received a call from Xun Jianxiang in advance.

Tonight may be a sleepless night.

Late at night, Xun Jianxiang's assistant, Xiao Zhao, arrived in Beijing.

Upon arriving at Song Yunhui's house, they handed the items over to Song Yunhui.

Song Yunhui patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder, "Xiao Zhao, you've worked hard. Go back and get some rest."

Xiao Zhao was flattered and said, "Thank you, Minister Song."

After Xiao Zhao left.

Song Yunhui unfolded the letter, his brows furrowed.

Zhao Dehan, Ministry of Chemical Industry and Energy: These people are up to no good right under my nose.

Angry.

Shock.

I watched it three times.

Since Qi Tongwei said not to worry about the time, just make the call after reading the letter.

Song Yunhui ignored it, picked up his spare phone, and dialed an unfamiliar number written on Qi Tongwei's letter.

The call connected, and I could immediately recognize Qi Tongwei's voice.

"It is I, Han Dongqi."

Song Yunhui asked directly, "Who's trying to cause trouble?"

It wasn't written in the letter, and I'm very curious about who is trying to ignite the powder keg in the ministry.

Qi Tongwei tiptoed out of the bedroom. "They say it's the Zhong family. What are you planning to do?"

Song Yunhui sneered, "I guess it's still that same monkey son-in-law who charges into battle. I'll just go with the flow and have some fun with him."
