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

Qi Tongwei held half a cigarette between his fingers.

A cool breeze was blowing from the lake.

He didn't smoke, letting the embers burn slowly.

The letter Zhang Shuli handed over had three pages in total.

Qi Tongwei looked at the first page, and the target of his criticism was none other than Chen Shan, whom taxi driver Lao Li had mentioned.

The top official of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

Below are lines of text.

Shanshui Group, Li Shiya, power-for-sex transactions.

Abuse of power to give the green light to private enterprises.

The words were written clearly in several lines.

The time, place, and people all match up.

The whistleblower wasn't named.

Qi Tongwei raised his hand and threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the trash can. "Shuli, there are strict procedures for investigating a department-level cadre."

Zhang Shuli stood to the side without moving, "Indeed."

Qi Tongwei folded the letter and said, "According to regulations, this type of report must be submitted to the provincial party committee. As the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, you have no right to investigate Chen Shan privately."

In Handong, everyone knows Chen Shan's background.

Chen Yanshi's biological son.

Xiao Jinzi is Chen Yanshi's adopted son.

There is this relationship.

To touch Chen Shan would be to provoke Sha Ruijin's Achilles' heel.

It's hard to say how the provincial party committee will decide after the report is submitted.

Zhang Shuli took half a step forward and asked, "Governor Qi, what should we do with this anonymous letter?"

Direct archiving?

Or should we initiate a preliminary investigation?

Zhang Shuli really wanted to investigate.

If it is confirmed that Chen Shan is a department-level official, this would be a major achievement.

Qi Tongwei handed the whistleblower letter back to Zhang Shuli.

"Anonymous reports are difficult to verify, and hastily investigating them can easily give others grounds for criticism."

Failure to investigate constitutes dereliction of duty.

Take this letter of complaint, remember it's a photocopy, and report it to Li Dakang and Tian Guofu respectively.

Listen to their opinions.

To leverage their strength, we must get Tian Guofu involved.

He stayed behind to watch the show, with his own plans in mind.

Chen Shan, as the director of the Public Security Bureau, absolutely cannot afford any accidents.

For example, if one were shot dead in a previous life, such a situation is absolutely unacceptable; one must recall the entire memory.

Zhang Shuli took it and put it in his briefcase. "Understood, Governor Qi. I'll report right away."

Qi Tongwei turned around and looked at the surface of Guangming Lake. "Go, Shuli. Remember to give me a copy."

Zhang Shuli opened his bag, took out a photocopy, and said, "Boss, I already made the photocopy a long time ago."

Qi Tongwei nodded. "Very good. You're meticulous and thoughtful. That's a good habit. Keep it up."

Zhang Shuli walked to the roadside, opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat.

I stepped on the gas and drove straight towards the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee compound.

There were quite a few cars on the road.

Zhang Shuli honked the horn twice and waited at three red lights.

Twenty minutes later.

The car was parked in front of the main building of the municipal party committee.

Zhang Shuli, carrying a briefcase, strode up the steps.

I jogged all the way to the door of Li Dakang's office.

The door was closed.

As usual, let's go find Xiao Jin first.

Secretary Kim was sitting in her office writing documents.

Upon seeing Zhang Shuli, Secretary Jin stood up. "Hello, Secretary Zhang."

Zhang Shuli stopped in his tracks. "Director Jin, is Secretary Li inside?"

I have an urgent matter to report to Secretary Li in person.

After consulting with Li Dakang, Secretary Jin led Zhang Shuli to the door of Li Dakang's office. "Secretary Zhang, the leader is looking at the materials. Please go in directly."

Zhang Shuli pushed open the office door.

Li Dakang sat in his office chair, flipping through documents.

Hearing the door open, Li Dakang looked up.

Zhang Shuli stepped forward and stood in front of the desk.

He handed the letter over with both hands. "Secretary Li, I received an anonymous letter this morning. The situation is unusual, so I brought it here to report to you."

"Stand up, sit down!" Li Dakang picked it up and quickly flipped through the pages.

The gaze fell on the words Chen Shan, Li Shiya, and the exchange of power for sex.

Each and every one of them crosses the red line of discipline for public officials.

Li Dakang bent his index finger and tapped it on the table.

a bit.

Two times.

"The person who filed the report is Chen Shan? The director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau?"

Zhang Shuli nodded in response, "Yes, it is Director Chen Shan."

Li Dakang turned the letter face down on the table and leaned back in his chair.

Chen Shan leans against Chen Yan Rock.

Sha Ruijin was raised by Chen Yanshi.

The two were like father and son.

To attack Chen Shan is tantamount to directly attacking Sha Ruijin.

Now we're focusing all our efforts on dealing with the Tian family.

Dealing with Tian Hongming and Tian Guofu is the right thing to do.

There's no need to create unnecessary complications halfway through.

Find yourself a formidable opponent.

Li Dakang scratched his head. "Shuli, the anonymous report is baseless and hard to verify. It's highly likely that someone is maliciously making false accusations to deliberately stir up trouble."

If the case involves a department-level official in the public security system, do not initiate an investigation without authorization, lest you be accused of malicious fabrication.

Avoid trouble and steer clear of complicated matters.

Actually, Li Dakang said this for Zhang Shuli's sake.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a case that Zhang Shuli could investigate.

Zhang Shuli then asked, "Secretary Li, shall we put this whistleblower letter on hold for now?"

Li Dakang waved his hand, "Shuli, you suppress it first."

However, since someone has reported it, we can't just do nothing.

I will later consult with Secretary Gao Yuliang and Executive Vice President Qi Tongwei to reach a consensus before deciding on the subsequent handling plan.

There's really no need to rush!

A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.

Gao Yuliang is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Qi Tongwei is the Executive Vice Governor. Even if the Director of the Public Security Department is to be investigated, informing them would be entirely in accordance with procedure.

Zhang Shuli nodded: "Yes, Secretary Li, I will strictly follow your instructions."

Zhang Shuli said no more and turned to leave.

Sure enough, ever since Ding Yizhen's incident, even Li Dakang has become extra cautious.

Leaving the municipal party committee compound.

Zhang Shuli returned to his car and told Qi Tongwei's secretary, Cai Xiaofei, the results.

Then, the car was started and headed straight for the provincial party committee compound.

The office building was very quiet.

After being informed by his secretary, Zhang Shuli finally met Tian Guofu, who was wearing a hat.

He knew perfectly well that the Mediterranean Sea lay beneath the hat.

There was an unread document in front of Tian Guofu.

He held red and blue pencils in his hand, but didn't write a single word.

The Standing Committee was publicly humiliated and made a fool of themselves in the corridor, suffering repeated insults from Li Dakang.

These images kept replaying in my mind.

I have no motivation to work, and I feel incredibly frustrated.

Hatred churned within my very being.

He made up his mind to stay indoors and not see anyone.

However, when the secretary said it was something that would cause a huge uproar, Tian Guofu immediately became interested.

Zhang Shuli took a few steps forward and stopped about a meter away from the desk. "Secretary Tian."

Tian Guofu glanced over, his expression not very friendly. "Comrade Shuli, get straight to the point, don't beat around the bush."

Zhang Shuli got straight to the point, "Secretary Tian, ​​I received an anonymous letter of complaint today. The case is serious, and the accused has a special identity. I came to report to you immediately."

Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu sat up straight.

His previously unfocused gaze refocused on Zhang Shuli.

The low mood began to fluctuate.

Discipline inspection officials are naturally sensitive to tip-offs.

Having a case means having leverage and an opportunity to make a contribution.

Tian Guofu placed his hands on the edge of the table. "Comrade Shuli, speak quickly, who reported you? What's the issue?"
