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

Liu Changsheng sat on the sofa in the middle and smiled. "Secretary Yuliang, I hope this isn't a trap you've set for this old man."

Gao Yuliang waved the letter of complaint, "Governor Liu, Secretary Dakang just delivered this. This is a hot potato."

It's written in black and white on this paper, and it's quite a lively piece of writing.

Qi Tongwei stood up and handed the letter of complaint to Liu Changsheng.

Liu Changsheng reached into his coat pocket, took out his reading glasses, and put them on.

I picked up the letter and read it line by line.

Targeting Chen Shan?

No, this is aimed at Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijingang's foothold in Handong is unstable, and Chen Shan and Xiao Jinzi are related.

If Chen Shan falls, Sha Ruijin will lose an arm.

After reading the letter, Liu Changsheng took off his glasses and slammed the letter onto the coffee table.

"No need to rush," Liu Changsheng said.

Gao Yuliang sat up straight and leaned closer. "Governor Liu, this is written in great detail, involving power-for-sex transactions."

If this really blows up, the impact will be terrible.

Where will we put our reputation in Handong?

Liu Changsheng picked up his teacup, blew on the floating leaves on the water, took a sip, and said, "Secretary Yuliang, look how anxious you are again."

Let's find out the truth first.

These days, there are tons of people writing whistleblower letters.

It's true, and the evidence has been verified.

We must report this to Minister Hao first.

After all, the public security system has dual leadership.

Gao Yuliang tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, making a tapping sound. "In the meantime, should I talk to Comrade Chen Shan?"

Should we tap it from the side?

Gao Yuliang wanted to test Chen Shan's reaction.

Liu Changsheng put down his teacup, waved his hand, and directly denied it, "Secretary Yuliang, what is there to talk about?"

Do you want to alert Chen Shan?

Gao Yuliang shook his head. "No, we're only talking about ideological work."

Liu Changsheng leaned back on the sofa, crossed his hands on his stomach, and said, "The situation is unclear right now."

No one knows whether the letter is true or false, or who spread the rumor.

If you talk to him, and he really has a problem, wouldn't that alert him?

If he's not in trouble, what will the higher-ups think? What will the lower-ups think?

What about Chen Yanshi?

Qi Tongwei leaned back on the sofa. "Governor Liu, is there anything I can do?"

Faced with this situation, Qi Tongwei was a little undecided.

How can we do it better?

Liu Changsheng glanced out the window, then turned back and said, "Tongwei, as long as Chen Shan is in our Handong, that's fine."

"If you're in Handong, you can run away, but you can't hide."

Qi Tongwei chimed in, "Anonymous reporting without evidence is too far-fetched. Let's remain calm and wait and see."

Liu Changsheng nodded approvingly.

Gao Yuliang picked up his teacup and lowered his head to drink.

The waters of Handong are getting muddier and muddier; it's hard to say who will have the last laugh.

As Qi Tongwei left Gao Yuliang's office, he walked briskly down the corridor.

It must be said that Liu Changsheng was even more cunning.

Gao Yuliang was always thinking about how to achieve a balance.

Liu Changsheng inserted the pole all the way to the bottom.

The safest strategy is to avoid alerting Chen Shan.

What needs to be investigated must be investigated discreetly.

Thirty minutes later.

Sha Ruijin's office.

Secretary Bai pushed open the door.

Ji Changming walked in front, Zhang Shuli followed closely behind, and Hou Liangping was at the back.

Tian Guofu sat on the sofa, holding a thermos cup in his hand.

Sha Ruijin lay on his desk, head down, looking at the documents on it.

Secretary Bai poured three cups of tea, placed them on the coffee table, and quietly left, closing the door behind her.

Click.

The door is locked.

Sha Ruijin stopped writing, stood up, opened a drawer, and took out a brown paper bag.

He walked around the desk, went to the coffee table, and threw the paper bag into the middle.

The paper bag wasn't sealed, and half of the letters had slipped out.

Sha Ruijin pointed to the letter. "Take a look."

Ji Changming didn't move, his eyes fixed on the edge of the letter.

Zhang Shuli naturally knew what it was about.

Hou Liangping was the youngest and had the most fiery temper; he immediately pulled out the letter.

One page.

Two pages.

Three pages.

Hou Liangping quickly finished reading it.

"Secretary Sha!" Hou Liangping slammed the letter on the coffee table. "This is impossible! I don't believe it! It must be a false accusation."

Ji Changming frowned and reprimanded in a low voice, "Comrade Liangping, what are you shouting about?"

"Don't you have any manners? This is the Provincial Party Committee!"

Hou Liangping wouldn't listen at all. Pointing at the whistleblower's letter, he raised his voice, "Inspector Ji, I think this is full of slander!"

Who is Chen Shan?

He is Chen Hai's older brother!

What is the family tradition of Mr. Chen?

Chen Shan is definitely not that kind of person!

"Secretary Sha, this is outrageous!"

Hou Liangping was so anxious that he spun around in place, gesturing with his hands in the air.

I don't believe Chen Shan would get into trouble.

Ji Changming stood up, grabbed Hou Liangping's arm, and pressed him down forcefully, "You little rascal! Sit down!"

Don't judge a person too easily!

Knowing the face but not the heart.

What do we rely on to solve cases?

It's evidence!

It's not just your imagination!

It's not as simple as you might think, a confident promise!

Hou Liangping, his neck stiff, stared at Ji Changming, still unconvinced. "Old Ji, where's the evidence?"

"Based solely on an anonymous whistleblower letter, they've already suspected our Public Security Bureau Chief."

Sha Ruijin nodded. "Comrade Liangping, calm down."

As someone working in the quarterly inspection system, you can't ignore reports of wrongdoing.

Let me reiterate my point: we must be realistic and rely on evidence.

No matter who is involved, no matter what their background is, no matter who their father is.

There will be absolutely no leniency for violations of discipline and law.

Sha Ruijin turned to Tian Guofu and said, "Secretary Guofu, please take Comrade Shuli to your office."

Tian Guofu stood up, holding his thermos.

Without even lifting a finger, I knew Little Gold was going to chase people away.

I'm guessing they're going to whisper something to each other.

Sha Ruijin looked at Zhang Shuli and said, "Comrade Shuli, go and review the principles of confidentiality with Secretary Guofu."

Do not act rashly.

Everything shall be in accordance with the instructions of the Provincial Party Committee.

Any further similar reports should be submitted directly to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Zhang Shuli nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Secretary Sha, I understand."

Tian Guofu gave him a wink.

Zhang Shuli followed Tian Guofu out of the office.

The door closed again.

Only Sha Ruijin, Ji Changming, and Hou Liangping remained in the office.

Sha Ruijin walked to the single sofa and sat down, pointing to the seat opposite him, "Inspector Ji, sit down."

Ji Changming sat down, his back straight, his hands on his knees.

Hou Liangping stood to the side, like a wooden stake.

Sha Ruijin looked at Ji Changming and said, "Prosecutor Ji, Secretary Guofu and I have set the tone."

Your procuratorate and the provincial discipline inspection commission should investigate the leads first.

Personally, I believe the procuratorate should play a crucial role in this process.

Ji Changming really wanted to refuse, "Secretary Sha, rest assured, the procuratorate will definitely do its duty and will never let down the provincial party committee's trust."

I said those words against my conscience.

Sha Ruijin repeatedly emphasized, "Quarterly inspections, remember to conduct them on a small scale."

Absolutely no information can be leaked.

And we absolutely cannot tell Chen Hai.

Ji Changming nodded immediately, "Okay, Secretary Sha."

It's like getting a hot potato.

I really want to throw it away and find someone to take it.

Sha Ruijin naturally knew about the relationship between Hou Liangping and Chen Hai. "Comrade Liangping, Chen Hai must recuse himself."

This is a matter of principle.

Can you do it?
