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

Gao Yuliang put the thermos on and slowly rotated the cup. "Secretary Dakang, it's easy to dig up the roots, but difficult to clean up the mess."

Xiao Jinzi protected Tian Guofu at the meeting today, saying it was to treat the patient and save his life, but in reality it was also to balance the power of our various parties.

Dakang, if you really want to shake Tian Guofu's foundation, you must have something truly solid in your hands.

Don't forget, when Tian Guofu gets ruthless, you're out of the picture.

Li Dakang stood up, put his hands in his pockets, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the provincial party committee compound below. "Hmm, it has to be a one-hit kill. There really isn't one for now."

What to do?

One second Li Dakang was in high spirits, looking like he was determined to win.

Now, Li Dakang is at a loss.

Qi Tongwei smiled faintly, "Tian Guofu's eldest nephew is in Chengdu's hands."

"Find Zhao Donglai and have him do something serious: dig into Tian Hongming's background."

Li Dakang cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, Executive Director Qi. After I wipe out the Tian family, I'll treat you to some Maozi."

After Li Dakang left.

Gao Yuliang was a little puzzled. "Tongwei, why was a case that Cheng Du could handle given to Zhao Donglai?"

Qi Tongwei leaned back on the sofa. "Teacher, the follow-up matters are minor."

If something serious is discovered, what do you think Tian Hongming will do?

Gao Yuliang felt a chill run down his spine upon closer examination. "Tongwei, he probably wouldn't."

the other side.

Li Dakang's car drove all the way into the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee compound.

The car came to a stop in front of the main building steps.

Secretary Kim opened the car door, and Lee Da-kang got out.

They spotted a police car parked nearby; the license plate belonged to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and it belonged to Zhao Donglai.

Li Dakang paused, remained silent, and strode up the steps.

Secretary Kim, carrying her briefcase, followed closely behind as they entered the corridor, pointing ahead.

"Sir, Director Zhao is at your office door."

Li Dakang said calmly, "Xiao Jin, write your speech as soon as possible. Make sure to hand it in to my desk before you leave work this afternoon."

Secretary Kim nodded. "Yes, sir. I'll go write it right away."

At the end of the corridor, Zhao Donglai, dressed in a police uniform, stood with his hands folded in front of him, his shoulders tense.

As Li Dakang approached, she lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

I'm really afraid of being scolded.

Li Dakang gestured with his chin toward the office door. "Donglai, come in with me."

"Okay, Secretary Dakang." Zhao Donglai followed him inside, closing the door behind him.

He didn't dare sit down and just stood there blankly.

Normally, he would sit down without Li Dakang even having to invite him.

"Boss, the incident at the Hunan restaurant is all my fault for not doing my job properly."

Taking initiative to assume responsibility is also a matter of attitude.

Li Dakang walked behind the desk and plopped down in the large office chair. "Donglai, if Tian Hongming had smashed that bottle with a little more force, I might be on my way to the afterlife."

I survived entirely thanks to the efforts of the Guangming Branch Police; they took them all down in just a few moves.

If you weren't single, I would have recommended you for the position of vice mayor long ago.

Now that this has happened, you must leave the Municipal Public Security Bureau; your next stop is the Provincial Public Security Department.

Zhao Donglai was very unhappy; his position as vice mayor was definitely over.

The only position one can hold in the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province is deputy director.

We have no bargaining power now, and can only obey unconditionally.

"Thank you, sir. Is there anything else I can do before I leave? Please just tell me, and I will do my best to help."

Zhao Donglai felt that Li Dakang hadn't treated him badly.

Now, his biggest backer is Sha Ruijin.

However, I am truly grateful to Li Dakang.

Li Dakang pointed to the gauze on his head, "Donglai, seek justice for me."

Investigate Tian Hongming thoroughly.

Every single thread of the network of relationships he's connected to must be thoroughly investigated.

Zhao Donglai raised his head, his chest straight, and said, "Secretary Li, don't worry. No matter where I'm transferred, I'll always be one of your men. I won't compromise on any of the tasks you assign me."

Turning around, Zhao Donglai strode away from the municipal party secretary's office.

I breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, I wasn't scolded, which was much better than I expected.

My relationship with Li Dakang has come to an end.

He went downstairs, opened the car door, stepped on the gas, and headed straight for the Guangming Branch of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.

My goal is to hand over the case as soon as possible.

Investigate! We must investigate!

Upon arriving at the Guangming branch, I was surprised at how smoothly the handover procedures went.

Cheng Du finished the basic procedures. "Director Zhao, now it's time for the signatures, and that'll be all."

"Okay!" Zhao Donglai didn't say much in front of his subordinates.

With a flourish of his pen and a signature, Zhao Donglai directed his men to take Tian Hongming away.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Qi Tongwei left the provincial party committee compound in a special car.

Driver Liu Lei gripped the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

"Boss, where are we going?"

After getting on the bus, Qi Tongwei did not say where he was going.

Qi Tongwei leaned back in the back seat. "Xiao Liu, let's go to Guangming Lake."

"Yes, sir." Liu Lei nodded and stopped talking, focusing on driving.

Considering that Tian Guofu would definitely take action, Qi Tongwei remembered that there were some people who needed to be put to use.

"Xiaofei, call Zhang Shuli and tell him I've invited him to Guangming Lake."

Cai Xiaofei, sitting in the passenger seat, immediately took action, pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and finalized the time and place in a few words.

Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped beside the boardwalk along Guangming Lake.

This place is lush with vegetation and there are hardly any people around.

You can also hear the sound of water hitting the rocks.

Zhang Shuli was already standing by the bluestone railing, waiting.

Seeing Qi Tongwei get out of the car, Zhang Shuli jogged up to him, "Boss, you specifically called me over, what are your instructions?"

Qi Tongwei walked to the lakeside and placed his hand on the stone railing. "Comrade Shuli, I've called you here today because I plan to arrange for you to work alongside Tian Guofu."

Zhang Shuli immediately understood. "Sir, you mean you want me to go undercover?"

"Sort of, and sort of not." Qi Tongwei took a step forward. "Tian Guofu is unpredictable. I was thinking of making the first move. It's just a bit unfair to you."

Zhang Shuli quickly responded, "Governor Qi, wherever you point, I'll go."

"I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Qi Tongwei patted Zhang Shuli on the shoulder, "Shuli, good job! You've worked hard. After this is done, when it's appropriate, I'll give you a promotion."

Zhang Shuli bowed deeply. "Thank you, Governor Qi. Whether I advance or not is irrelevant; I'm just very happy to work under your guidance."

Qi Tongwei took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, and handed the pack to Zhang Shuli. "Shuli, if you have any difficulties or requests, feel free to ask."

Zhang Shuli was a shrewd person, and he knew that following Qi Tongwei would lead to a bright future.

I don't plan to make any demands for the time being.

Zhang Shuli shook his head. "Governor Qi, there are no difficulties."

If there are difficulties, overcome them. There are always more solutions than problems.

I, Zhang Shuli, have no demands; I just want to get things done!

Qi Tongwei, smoking a cigarette, said, "Good, very good."

Zhang Shuli took out a letter of denunciation from his bag. "Boss, I just received this this morning. It's an anonymous letter. Should I investigate or not?"
