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

Zheng Xipo quickly helped up the bucket and looked at Chen Yanshi expectantly.

"What can we do?" Zheng Xipo asked anxiously.

He couldn't wait for his apprentice, Wang Wenge, to come out.

Chen Yanshi lowered his voice and uttered only six words.

"Pretend to be sick and get medical parole."

It went against my conscience, but I still said it.

Hey!

I'm really worried that if others find out that these words came from my own mouth, my lifelong reputation will be ruined.

Gao Yuliang would probably say he was hypocritical.

Zheng Xipo's mouth dropped open.

You can play it like this?

Wow, this is truly eye-opening.

Feigning illness?

Medical parole?

This despicable tactic was actually devised by Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

I absolutely refuse to believe it.

"This...is this going to work?" Zheng Xipo stammered. "This is illegal."

If it gets discovered, not only will Wang Wenge be finished, but we'll all be implicated.

"Old Chen, what are we trying to achieve?"

Chen Yanshi snorted coldly, "What's the point?"

The plan aims to break the deadlock.

The other party used legal means to arrest Wang Wenge.

We'll have to use unconventional methods to get them out.

Anything not prohibited by law is permissible.

As long as the hospital issues a certificate, he is legal.

Zheng Xipo's mind was buzzing. "Old Chen, there are still risks involved in this underhanded tactic."

Chen Yanshi shook his head. "Xipo, this involves a power struggle between Xiao Jinzi and Governor Liu. It's not about inviting someone to dinner or making a fuss."

That was a brutal, bloody attack.

If your opponent is ruthless and you still act like a saint, you're just waiting to die.

Wang Wenge is inside, and there's nothing he can do.

The game will be won as soon as he comes out.

There is hope for our new strong winds.

There are some things I cannot do.

You can't do it.

However, Wang Wenge dared to do it, and he was capable of getting it done.

Chen Yanshi drew a circle on the table with his finger.

Zheng Xipo rubbed his face vigorously. "Old Chen, yes, you're right. We must get Wang Wenge out."

Who cares what methods they use?

Who cares about the consequences?

If we can get Wang Wenge out, there is hope for the new Dafeng Factory.

Then the workers will have a way to make a living.

Zheng Xipo bowed deeply to Chen Yanshi, "Thank you, Elder Chen."

Wang Wenge is saved.

"There's hope for our new wind power plant."

Chen Yanshi waved his hand, "Alright, Xipo, stop with the nonsense."

"Make arrangements quickly; time waits for no one."

"I'll get on it right away." Zheng Xipo nodded, turned around, and strode away.

My steps were much lighter than when I arrived.

Chen Yanshi stood with his hands behind his back, facing the wall, and said, "Chen Shan, Chen Shan, please don't be confused."

What should I do if you take a wrong turn or do something wrong?

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Office of the Executive Vice Governor.

Qi Tongwei tidied up the documents on the table, picked up his coat from the coat rack, and was about to go to Governor Liu's office.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Secretary Cai Xiaofei pushed open the door. "Boss, Secretary Cheng is here."

"Xiao Cai, how many times have I told you? When Cheng Du comes, there's no need to announce him. Just let him in right away."

Cheng Du followed Cai Xiaofei in.

"Qi Province," Cheng Du greeted.

"Chengdu's here, come and sit down." Qi Tongwei hung his coat back on the coat rack and pointed to the sofa in the reception area.

Cai Xiaofei quickly brewed two cups of hot tea and placed them on the coffee table.

He then left the room and gently closed the door behind him.

This is the duty and sense of propriety of a qualified secretary.

Cheng Du didn't immediately pick up the teacup. Instead, he placed his hands on his knees and leaned forward. "Provincial Governor Qi, I've thought about Chen Shan's matter carefully and have an idea."

The extent of it is something I really need to get off my chest.

Qi Tongwei sat down on the single sofa, picked up his teacup and blew on it. "Chengdu, there are no outsiders here, sit down and talk slowly."

Cheng Du leaned back on the sofa and relaxed a little. "Provincial Governor Qi, Chen Shan is the head of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. To investigate Chen Shan directly, you have to go through the Provincial Party Committee."

It is said that he is meticulous in everything he does.

However, in the past two years, the provincial department has undertaken a project to upgrade and replace all traffic lights and monitoring equipment in the province.

This project is a major project within the public security sector; it's being implemented in over a dozen cities across the province.

Qi Tongwei took a sip of tea and put the teacup down.

Traffic signal light project.

Extremely lucrative.

"I remember now, that taxi driver mentioned it last time. Did you find out there's something fishy about this?" Qi Tongwei asked.

Cheng Du nodded. "There's definitely something wrong. I had someone investigate, and it turns out that the provincial department's bidding process was actually monopolized by a company called Ruifeng Technology."

The actual controller of this company is Li Shifeng, the cousin of Li Shiyan of the Shanshui Group.

They take on all the work in the province and then subcontract it to equipment suppliers at each level, taking a cut from each transaction.

I think this is Chen Shan's white glove.

I think this is an excellent breakthrough.

If we investigate this project thoroughly, Chen Shan will definitely not be able to escape.

However, I haven't figured out the specifics of how to investigate yet. Our branch office chief's authority is too limited.

Qi Tongwei smiled.

This line of thinking perfectly aligned with the advice his father-in-law, Pei Yihong, had given him over the phone.

Pei Yihong said that the provincial government is investigating the Public Security Bureau.

Now the specific target of the investigation has been brought to our attention.

The traffic light project was funded by the provincial government.

"Good brother." Qi Tongwei patted Cheng Du on the shoulder. "Your information is crucial."

Feeling invigorated by the praise, he asked, "But Governor Qi, how will this matter be investigated?"

I'm still a little worried about the extent of the problem.

"This is easy to handle." Qi Tongwei stood up. "Let's change our approach. Let the Provincial Audit Office get involved."

The Audit Department's audit of the Public Security Department's government-funded projects is perfectly legitimate and justified.

I admire Qi Tongwei to a great extent.

Audit Office.

Yes.

Traffic light projects are funded by the government, so it's perfectly reasonable for the audit office to investigate them.

No matter how powerful Chen Shan is as a department head, he cannot obstruct the normal work of the audit department; even Xiao Jinzi wouldn't dare.

Anyone who dares to stop them is guilty and will surely make a big fuss.

"Provincial Governor Qi, this move is brilliant, a brilliant strategy." Cheng Du gave a thumbs up. "By bypassing the internal disciplinary review of the public security system and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, they directly targeted the government's financial procedures. No one can stop them."

"Let's go, there's no time to lose, let's go to Governor Liu's office now." Qi Tongwei picked up his coat and put it on. "To get the Audit Department to come in, we need Governor Liu's approval."

The necessary procedures must be followed.

Without going through Liu Changsheng, one really cannot give instructions to the Audit Office casually.

The two left the office and walked down the corridor.

They arrived at Liu Changsheng's office.

The door was closed.

Cheng knocked on the door, but there was no response.

I tried turning the doorknob, but the door was locked.

"Is Governor Liu not in his office?" Cheng looked around.

"I'll make a call." Qi Tongwei took out his phone and dialed Liu Changsheng's secretary, Xiao Nian.

The phone rang three times before being answered.

Qi Tongwei said a few words and then hung up the phone.

"He's not at the provincial government." Qi Tongwei put his phone in his pocket. "Secretary Nian said he accompanied Governor Liu to the Provincial People's Hospital."
