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

Zhang Shuli handed the letter over with both hands. "Secretary Tian, ​​the report is against Chen Shan, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, who is suspected of engaging in power-for-sex transactions, having an improper relationship with Li Shiya of the Shanshui Group, and using his power to illegally profit for private enterprises."

Tian Guofu paused, then grabbed the letter.

I skimmed through the text, my heart racing faster and faster.

These few lines of text contain an enormous amount of energy.

"Good heavens, this has blown up."

Tian Guofu slammed the letter on the table.

Who is Chen Shan?

He is the biological son of Comrade Chen Yanshi.

The head of a provincial department is a department-level cadre.

Most importantly, Sha Ruijin was raised by Chen Lao.

Although they were not officially father and son, they shared a deep bond of affection.

Their relationship is as close as blood relatives.

This relationship was an open secret in the officialdom of Handong.

No one dared to touch it lightly.

To provoke Chen Shan is tantamount to indirectly challenging Sha Ruijin's authority.

One second I was very excited.

Now, Tian Guofu was completely dumbfounded.

I don't know what to do.

Zhang Shuli spoke up at the opportune moment, "Secretary Tian, ​​what should I do in this situation?"

Tian Guofu stared intently at Zhang Shuli's face.

Examine.

To test the waters.

"Comrade Shuli, let me ask you, besides you and me, who else has seen this letter of denunciation?"

Did you report this to Li Dakang beforehand?

He was afraid that Zhang Shuli had already taken sides and would use the clues to do him a favor.

If it's secondhand information, it's worthless.

First-hand information is worth a fortune.

Zhang Shuli said in a serious tone, "Secretary Tian, ​​I, Zhang Shuli, know how to conduct myself properly."

Upon receiving this letter of complaint, I immediately went to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection without revealing a single word along the way.

"I absolutely did not show it to Secretary Li Dakang."

"Oh, really?" Tian Guofu was naturally suspicious and didn't believe what Zhang Shuli said.

Zhang Shuli raised his right hand, three fingers pointing upwards, "Secretary Tian, ​​if I have uttered even half a lie..."

The light bulb is broken now, so I, Zhang Shuli, will just eat it.

I, Zhang Shuli, will never break my word!

Tian Guofu looked at Zhang Shuli making a vow, and he felt a little tempted.

Nima!

That's really ruthless; he even eats light bulbs. That's interesting.

A few seconds passed.

Tian Guofu slowly exhaled a long breath, his suspicions fading away considerably.

Today, I lost face at the Standing Committee meeting and suffered a setback in my career.

They were worried that they had no chance to turn things around.

This anonymous whistleblower letter was a golden opportunity.

As long as Chen Shan's violation of discipline is verified.

Not only could it disrupt the power structure at the top of Handong, but it could also take advantage of the situation to exploit Sha Ruijin's weaknesses.

This turned the tide and reversed the passive situation.

Tian Guofu gripped the letter of complaint tightly in his hand. "Shuli, this is no small matter."

With Chen Shan backed by Old Chen and connected to Secretary Sha, a single misstep could have far-reaching consequences for everyone involved.

We must be careful, extremely careful!

Zhang Shuli asked again, "Secretary Tian, ​​what should we do next?"

Tian Guofu pushed back his chair and stood up.

He picked up the document folder from his desk and put the whistleblower letter inside.

"Establishing a system is too late; there's no time for layer-by-layer research."

This matter concerns the conduct of a department-level cadre and also involves the personal relationships of key leaders; it is a serious matter.

"Come with me, I need to report to Secretary Sha Ruijin in person."

It can't be hidden.

It can't be suppressed.

Proactively reporting is the safest option.

This allows them to both take the initiative and test Sha Ruijin's attitude.

Success or failure hinges on this moment.

Zhang Shuli followed Tian Guofu out of the office.

Upon encountering Secretary Bai, he greeted, "Secretary Tian, ​​hello."

Tian Guofu stopped in his tracks. "Director Bai, is Secretary Sha inside?"

"Secretary Sha just finished a conference call and is looking at documents." Secretary Bai glanced at the folder in Tian Guofu's hand.

I know Tian Guofu's style all too well; when something important comes up, he'll definitely put a folder in his bag.

"I have a very urgent situation that I need to report to Secretary Sha immediately. Please go and inform him," Tian Guofu said anxiously.

"Okay, Secretary Tian." Secretary Bai nodded and knocked on the door twice.

"Go in!" Sha Ruijin responded.

I pushed open the door and went inside.

Less than half a minute.

Secretary Bai stepped out and said, "Secretary Tian, ​​Secretary Sha invites you in."

Tian Guofu turned to Zhang Shuli and gave him instructions. Zhang Shuli then followed Secretary Bai to the lounge next door.

Tian Guofu entered Sha Ruijin's office, immediately locked the door, and said, "Secretary Sha, it's a major, extremely important matter!"

Sha Ruijin sat behind his desk, pen in hand, signing a document.

Upon hearing Tian Guofu's hoarse voice, Sha Ruijin put down his pen. "Comrade Guofu, what urgent matter has happened that makes you so anxious? This is not like you at all."

Tian Guofu strode to his desk and opened the folder.

He took out the anonymous letter and placed it in front of Sha Ruijin with both hands. "Secretary Sha, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection received an anonymous letter today."

This matter is of great importance, and I dare not make a decision on my own. I brought it here specifically for your review.

Sha Ruijin picked up the letter.

You could hear a pin drop.

The office was so quiet you could hear the air conditioning vents.

After reading the three pages, Sha Ruijin placed the letter on the table.

With his hands crossed in front of him, he said, "Comrade Guofu, the issues raised in this letter are far from simple."

Tian Guofu didn't forget to remind him, "Secretary Sha, this involves Comrade Chen Shan. He's the Director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, a very special position, not to mention Old Chen's side..."

It was also a test to see if Sha Ruijin had any principles.

Sha Ruijin raised his hand to interrupt Tian Guofu, "Comrade Guofu, there are no special cadres in our organization."

No matter who is involved, anyone who violates the laws of the Party and the country must be investigated.

Sha Ruijin pushed back his chair, stood up, and walked to the sofa area. "However, be careful. Anonymous letters are often a mix of truth and falsehood. Some people even deliberately throw dirty water to frame others."

Tian Guofu turned around and followed him. "Secretary Sha is right. I've been thinking about this issue too."

If we conduct a large-scale investigation and find no evidence, it will have a very negative impact on Comrade Chen Shan and could easily lead to unnecessary speculation from the outside world.

Sha Ruijin looked at Tian Guofu, "What are your thoughts?"

Tian Guofu took a step forward. "Secretary Sha, I suggest we don't file a case yet."

The preliminary verification was conducted secretly by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, without alerting the public security system or the local authorities.

Investigate whether there was any exchange of power for sex.

If no evidence is found, then Comrade Chen Shan should be exonerated.

If this is indeed the case, it's not too late to go through the formal procedures.

Sha Ruijin rubbed his temples. "Okay."

This matter is under your personal supervision. Strict confidentiality is required; not a single word must leak out.

With a smile on his face, Tian Guofu said, "Secretary Sha, don't worry, I recommend Zhang Shuli, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, to participate in the investigation."

Sha Ruijin shook his head. "Guofu, that's not appropriate. Zhang Shuli and Chen Shan are both directors."

I suggest that the Handong Provincial Procuratorate and the Discipline Inspection Commission jointly investigate and handle this matter.

Go and inform them that Ji Changming, Zhang Shuli, and Hou Liangping should come over in thirty minutes.

the other side.

Li Dakang entered Gao Yuliang's office, threw the whistleblower letter at him, and said, "Secretary Yuliang, what do you think we should do?"

After reading the letter of complaint, Gao Yuliang was skeptical.

However, he began to suspect Chen Shan.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yuliang asked Secretary He to notify Qi Tongwei to come over.

Qi Tongwei has already reported the situation to Governor Liu.

Since Gao Yuliang had notified him to go there, Qi Tongwei decided to bring Liu Changsheng along.

Tian Guofu has a ministerial-level position, and I also have a ministerial-level position.

If Xiao Jinzi causes trouble, Liu Changsheng can just flick his hair and Xiao Jinzi will tremble.

As soon as Liu Changsheng and Qi Tongwei entered Gao Yuliang's office, Gao Yuliang stood up, shook Liu Changsheng's hand, and said, "Governor Liu, I feel more confident now that you're here."
