Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"What's the big deal? I don't think I did anything wrong!"

Hou Liangping stiffened his neck as he answered Sha Ruijin's concerned questions.

They believe that they have done nothing wrong.

Sha Ruijin was speechless after hearing this.

How can there be such shameless people in the world?

Doesn't Hou Liangping know the enormous price they sacrificed to get him out?

Okay, he really didn't know.

"Cough cough cough"

Hou Liangping, why don't you take some time to call your family?

I won't keep you any longer. After a thorough investigation by the disciplinary committee, your matter has indeed been found to be an accident. You can leave now.

Your position has been reinstated. Now go and serve the people well. Remember to call your family often!

After Sha Ruijin finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that Hou Liangping could leave.

This guy has some intellectual issues; let Zhong Zhengguo teach him a lesson.

He was afraid that if he said anything more, Hou Liangping's indifferent attitude would make him faint.

"Really, Secretary Sha is so kind. I knew how big the matter was, that I could leave as soon as you stepped in."

Hou Liangping's face instantly lit up with an expression of wild joy.

Hou Liangping saw that there was still tea on Sha Ruijin's table, so he poured himself a full cup, drank it down in one gulp, and then drank several more cups.

After quenching his thirst, he wiped his mouth with a triumphant air.

"Secretary Sha, then I won't stay any longer. I want to serve the people of Handong well."

After Hou Liangping finished speaking, he patted his behind and left Sha Ruijin's office.

Only Tian Guofu and Sha Ruijin remained, bewildered in the wind.

The young secretary stared wide-eyed.

He was so frightened by Hou Liangping's disrespectful attitude that he stood frozen in place.

I really envy someone with such a good background.

If he dared to be so presumptuous in front of Sha Ruijin, he would probably be laid off the next day.

"Secretary Sha, this Comrade Liangping is really decisive and efficient, and he doesn't care about details!" Tian Guofu said awkwardly, breaking the silence.

"Hehe, what a carefree attitude!"

"I don't think he takes me seriously at all!" Sha Ruijin sneered, the last sentence being said in his mind.

Now he still needs Zhong Zhengguo, and he also needs Hou Liangping to fight for him.

The other party is being unreasonable, and he can't even get angry; it's so frustrating.

"Forget it, I'm not going to say anything more!"

"What do you think of Comrade Yuliang?" Sha Ruijin suddenly changed the subject.

Besides Li Dakang's secretaries, the only other local faction in Handong Province was Gao Yuliang's Han University faction.

Li Dakang is still in the ICU, and even if he gets out, Sha Ruijin might still target him.

If this gets out, it will have a very bad impact, making people think that Sha Ruijin is the mastermind behind the attacks against Li Dakang.

How will the higher-ups view him then?

Sha Ruijin felt that he was a ruthless character who acted without restraint and was capable of putting a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee into the ICU.

The organization wouldn't use such a ruthless character.

Therefore, Sha Ruijin had no choice but to put aside all his plans against Li Dakang for the time being.

Now that you, Li Dakang, have encountered some problems, the first person to be in trouble is Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin not only can't target Li Dakang now, but he also has to cherish Li Dakang like a treasure.

They were afraid that Li Dakang might do something impulsive if he was dissatisfied.

At that point, it'll be like mud dripping down your pants; even if it's not poop, it'll still look like poop.

Sha Ruijin didn't want to take the blame, so he turned his attention to Gao Yuliang, the refined scholar.

He had previously tried to win over Gao Yuliang, but now it seems there's no way to do so.

"To be honest, I really dislike this professor!"

Upon hearing Sha Ruijin's question, Tian Guofu turned his attention to Gao Yuliang, his eyes lighting up instantly.

He spoke without any restraint.

"Sigh, how can you judge a cadre based on whether you like him or not?" Sha Ruijin quickly interrupted.

"That's right. I think it's highly likely that Comrade Hou Liangping's arrest by the Provincial Public Security Bureau Director's men wasn't actually on Governor Zhao's orders. Although that's what's being said outside, Comrade Qi Tongwei has also admitted it publicly."

However, how could a newly appointed provincial governor possibly win over Qi Tongwei so quickly?

"Couldn't Gao Yuliang have any objections? So I think Gao Yuliang might be the mastermind behind this." Tian Guofu said confidently, pointing the finger at Gao Yuliang.

Sha Ruijin's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened, and he raised his teacup.

He took a sip of tea, feigning composure, and realized that Tian Guofu's words made sense.

Is it possible for a newly arrived provincial governor to immediately win over the provincial public security bureau chief? The probability is indeed a bit small, but it's not impossible.

After all, given their status and position, any smart person would know how to choose.

If the provincial governor accepts him, which provincial public security bureau chief wouldn't be willing to do anything for him?

However, Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei's relationship was not only that of superior and subordinate, but also that of master and apprentice, which was no secret in Handong Province.

Unless it was Gao Yuliang's suggestion to seek refuge with Governor Zhao.

But if that's the case, why would Gao Yuliang do this? To cut off his own arm.

Or perhaps it's about cutting off this connection to extricate oneself...

In that instant, Sha Ruijin thought of many things, but he didn't say them aloud.

There are some things that only I can know, and I can't tell Tian Guofu.

Although this person was assigned to him by the organization as a vanguard general, he has been in Handong Province for almost a year and has not achieved any results.

There wasn't even a proper bugle call to charge, so how could Sha Ruijin completely believe that he was standing by his side?

"Guofu, what you said makes a lot of sense."

As the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, you must supervise this matter!

"I need a detailed answer!" Sha Ruijin said calmly, staring straight at Tian Guofu.

Before he arrived, the people in the organization told him that Tian Guofu was a trustworthy comrade, but after arriving, he discovered that something was wrong.

It seems that I've only ever heard of Tian Guofu, or so it's said, or that someone said.

When it comes to getting him to do practical things, he's the best at avoiding them than anyone else.

He always hides himself at the very back, so that even if someone tries to hold him accountable, they won't be held responsible.

What are you doing? Are you trying to jump left and right?

Is your stance wavering?

"Okay, Secretary Sha!" Tian Guofu nodded, then suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, there's one more thing, Secretary Xia, I don't understand!"

Was the pollution problem at the Lakeside Food City and Lakeside Garden in Luzhou really just an accidental, historic mistake made by Gao Yuliang?

It is said that Secretary Yu Liang was a cautious, meticulous, shrewd, and capable cadre.

Why do they start getting so careless when it comes to Zhao Ruilong's businesses?

Could there be something else going on here?

Secretary Sha, we really need to think this through!

Tian Guofu began to probe Gao Yuliang's lungs again, word by word.

This explains why Gao Yuliang is usually so careful, but becomes careless when it comes to Zhao Ruilong's projects. Who would believe there's nothing fishy going on here?

There must be some unspeakable secret behind this.

But Tian Guofu's brilliance lies in the fact that he did not directly name names and say there was a problem, but instead told people to think twice.

The idea was to guide Sha Ruijin to pay attention to this issue, take it seriously, and then turn his attention to dealing with Gao Yuliang, while he himself could remain behind the scenes.

At the opportune moment, they stepped forward to support Sha Ruijin and join forces to attack Gao Yuliang.
