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

"Utterly muddleheaded!" Chen Yanshi stood up, pointing at Wang Fuzhen's nose and cursing, "You old hag, do you want Little Jinzi to die not fast enough?!"

Wang Fuzhen was stunned by the scolding and stared blankly at Chen Yanshi.

"Old Chen, why do you think we should do this? What should we do? Can we save Chen Shan?"

"What's Xiao Jinzi's relationship with our family? Everyone in the province knows! He calls him Uncle Chen all the time. Now you've dumped this mess of Chen Shan's on him, what is he supposed to do?!" Chen Yanshi paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. "He has to back down! If he takes the lead in this, what will people outside say? That he's betraying his own family? Bullshit! People will only say he's eliminating dissidents and using his own people as a scapegoat to establish his authority! If he doesn't intervene, and shows even a little favoritism, what will people outside say? That he's bending the law for personal gain! That he's protecting criminals! You're driving Xiao Jinzi to the brink of despair!"

Wang Fuzhen then realized what was happening and anxiously rubbed her hands together.

"Then... what should we do?"

If we can't find Xiao Jinzi, then let's find Gao Yuliang?

Gao Yuliang is the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the public security, procuratorate, and judicial organs are under his jurisdiction.

He's Chen Shan's superior, so he must have some influence.

Chen Yanshi stopped and snorted coldly, "Looking for Gao Yuliang?"

Old Wang, do you think we haven't died a horrible death yet?

That old fox Gao Yuliang is just worried about not being able to find any dirt on Xiao Jinzi!

If you hand over the evidence to him, he can easily use it to set a trap for Xiao Jinzi!

He'll blow Chen Shan's matter out of proportion, and eventually the fire will definitely reach Xiao Jinzi!

Chen Yanshi sat back down in his chair and took a sip of the now-cold tea.

It's impossible to report Gao Yuliang.

Wang Fuzhen was completely at a loss, and put her hands on the table.

"This won't work, that won't work. So who are you actually looking for?"

Chen Yanshi raised his head, dipped his finger in tea, and wrote three characters on the table.

Wang Fuzhen leaned closer to take a look.

Tian Guofu.

"Tian Guofu, the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection." Chen Yanshi wiped the words off the table with a rag. "Chen Shan's messy affairs, his relationships with women, and his misconduct, fall right under the jurisdiction of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He's the most suitable person to talk to."

Wang Fuzhen still didn't understand.

"Tian Guofu is not related to us at all, how could he possibly care?"

"What do you know?" Chen Yanshi leaned back in his chair. "Tian Guofu has been in Handong for more than half a year and needs a big scandal to establish his authority. A provincial-level public security bureau chief, this piece of fat meat is delivered to his door, how could he refuse? He'd be laughing in his sleep! We're giving him a political achievement! Once he takes our benefits, he'll naturally be more measured in his handling of cases. Besides, Tian Guofu is Xiao Jinzi's man."

Wang Fuzhen sighed and picked up her phone, handing it to Chen Yanshi.

"Old Chen, go ahead and hit him. The sooner he dies, the sooner he'll be free."

"Don't talk nonsense, Chen Shan won't die no matter what." Chen Yanshi quickly found his notebook for writing down phone numbers.

The No. 4 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.

Tian Guofu was sleeping with his wife Qin Xueru in his arms.

Actually, Qin Xueru wasn't asleep; she was snoring.

Tonight, Tian Guofu was thoroughly exhausted by Qin Xueru.

My lower back and legs are aching now.

It felt like Qin Xueru was pinching my kidneys.

Women are like tigers; you have to stay away from them.

The phone rang.

Tian Guofu pulled his hand away, pushed the woman aside, and quickly answered the phone.

Upon seeing Chen Yanshi's number, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom barefoot.

Actually, she was afraid of waking Qin Xueru up and torturing herself again.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, this is Tian Guofu."

If it were someone else making the call, Tian Guofu would at least have given them a scolding.

Chen Yanshi, feeling awkward, said, "Secretary Guofu, I have something to attend to."

Tian Guofu, shirtless and wearing red shorts, asked, "Old Chen?"

"It's so late, what are your instructions?"

Tian Guofu spoke very politely, but his mind was racing.

Without him.

Chen Yanshi is Xiao Jinzi's father.

Chen Yanshi calling at this hour definitely wasn't to chat about everyday things.

"Secretary Guofu, I wouldn't dare give any instructions. I'm here to confess my problems to the Discipline Inspection Commission." Chen Yanshi's voice was steady, without a trace of panic.

"Confess the problem?" Tian Guofu leaned back. "Old Chen, just tell me what's going on."

"I, Chen Yanshi, am filing a formal complaint against Chen Shan, the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, for serious violations of regulations and discipline."

The only sound in the study was the ticking of the wall clock.

Tian Guofu even slowed his breathing.

Chen Shan?

Chen Yanshi's biological son?

Sha Ruijin's "adopted younger brother"?

This is the toughest nut to crack in Handong Province.

The head of the Public Security Bureau.

Tian Guofu tightened his grip on the receiver.

He knew all too well the weight of this matter.

Taking down a department-level official is the best stepping stone for him, the newly appointed secretary of the discipline inspection commission.

More importantly, Sarekin must avoid the situation.

In the entire Handong Province, no one can get involved in this case now, except for Tian Guofu.

This is an achievement bestowed upon us by heaven.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any evidence?" Tian Guofu's voice was calm, without showing the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Yes. I have videos and photos. Guofu, when is it convenient for you to come over? I'll hand them over to you in person." Chen Yanshi hoped that Tian Guofu would come overnight.

"Mr. Chen, I'll be right there." Tian Guofu changed into a suit and notified his driver.

He was tying his tie as he walked.

I sat in the car with the license plate ending in 004, wondering what to do next if it was true.

How to maximize profits.

Thirty minutes later.

The car was parked outside the gate of Laifu Nursing Home.

Tian Guofu, carrying a briefcase, walked in alone.

Upon recognizing Tian Guofu, the security guard quickly allowed him to pass.

We entered the small courtyard where Chen Yanshi lived.

A knock came at the door.

Wang Fuzhen quickly ran over to open the door.

"Secretary Tian, ​​come in quickly." Wang Fuzhen welcomed him in.

Tian Guofu followed Wang Fuzhen into the living room.

Chen Yanshi quickly stood up and pointed to the chair opposite him.

"Secretary Guofu, please have a seat."

Tian Guofu sat down and placed his briefcase on his lap.

"Old Chen, where are the things?" Tian Guofu went straight to the point.

Chen Yanshi took a USB drive out of his pocket and pushed it in front of Tian Guofu.

"It's all inside. There's also a tablet computer next to it; you can look at it directly."

Tian Guofu picked up the USB drive and plugged it into the tablet computer.

The screen lit up, revealing several folders neatly arranged.

He opened the first video file.

The video was a bit shaky, but the sound was very clear.

Chen Shan's face appeared in the center of the screen.

Tian Guofu put on his headphones and dragged the progress bar backward.

After watching one, he clicked on the next.

There are not only videos, but also clear photos.

Tian Guofu read very slowly.

He wasn't looking at the offensive images, but rather at the people in the background, specifically Chen Shan and Li Shiya's conversation.

After watching for a full ten minutes, Tian Guofu finally took off his headphones, unplugged the USB drive, and put it in his pocket.

Wang Fuzhen was so anxious that she kept rubbing her hands. When she saw Tian Guofu stop, she quickly went over to him.

"Secretary Guofu, you've seen the situation. Chen Shan did make a mistake, but... how should he be sentenced?" Wang Fuzhen really hoped that Chen Shan would be alright and continue to serve as the Director of the Public Security Bureau.

Tian Guofu sighed, "Old Wang, how many years he gets sentenced to isn't really up to me."

The court will decide how to rule.

That must be done according to the law.

Let me think about it; what's the safest way to handle this?

Chen Yanshi reached out and pressed his hand on the table, staring at Tian Guofu.

"Secretary Guofu, I don't care about anything else. I only have one request," Chen Yanshi said in a low voice, "Xiao Jinzi must stay away. You can't talk to Xiao Jinzi about this yet."

Tian Guofu met Chen Yanshi's gaze.

Two people, whose combined age is nearly 150, tested each other's limits in the dim light.

Tian Guofu understood Chen Yanshi's scheme all too well.

By removing Sha Ruijin from the picture, his reputation was preserved, and a way out was left for the Chen family.

And this is exactly what Tian Guofu wanted.

They secretly made the case airtight, and by the time Sha Ruijin found out, it was too late.

Not only did it establish its authority, it also allowed it to take the initiative at the provincial party committee standing committee meetings.

Tian Guofu stood up and tucked his briefcase under his arm.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand." Tian Guofu patted his briefcase. "For now, this matter is only known to the three of us. I will conduct the preliminary investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission in secrecy."

Chen Yanshi nodded, then stood up. "Thank you."

Tian Guofu's idea was to bypass the provincial party committee and, in accordance with regulations, place Chen Shan under investigation as soon as possible.

After much deliberation, I realized I had to turn to Chung Cheng-kuo for help.

I got into the car, told the driver to get out, thought for a moment, and then dialed Chung Cheng-kuo's number.

"Secretary Zhong, this is Tian Guofu. Here's what happened..."
