Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"Secretary Gao, Secretary Li, here's the situation: we have received instructions from the Supreme People's Procuratorate that Comrade Ding Yizhen is suspected of embezzlement and bribery!"

Moreover, the evidence seemed conclusive.

Let's arrest them right now!

Ji Changming explained the whole story.

Gao Yuliang was the first to frown, as he, as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, paid the most attention to procedures and processes.

He discovered a loophole in the statement: what does it mean to be directly ordered to arrest someone with conclusive evidence?

What was the cause, what happened, what was the process? In the end, there was only one result: arresting someone!

This doesn't seem like something the Supreme People's Procuratorate would do when handling a case.

There was absolutely no procedural justice; instead, it was delivered in a condescending, commanding tone.

This kind of tone, which implies meddling in the investigation, is likely to provoke resistance.

But at that moment, an unexpected voice rang out.

"Secretary Yuliang, Secretary Dakang, how about we have the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection detain Comrade Ding Yizhen first? That would make things easier!"

Qi Tongwei, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, suddenly spoke, surprising everyone present.

Li Dakang was an unexpected turn of events; why would Gao Yuliang's eldest disciple suddenly speak up for him?

Gao Yuliang was furious.

Qi Tongwei actually spoke up for Li Dakang.

Isn't the goal simply to get Li Dakang to vote for him among the provincial party committee standing committee members, thus helping him rise to the vice-provincial level?

In this situation, Qi Tongwei's speaking up for Li Dakang was undoubtedly a betrayal of Gao Yuliang.

When Qi Tongwei competes for the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, will he also betray his teacher, Professor Gao?!

"That's a great idea, that's a great idea!!" Li Dakang agreed repeatedly.

As long as the power to handle cases is transferred to Handong Province instead of remaining with the Supreme People's Procuratorate, he can control the situation.

That would leave room for easing tensions.

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Li Dakang glanced at Qi Tongwei in surprise and immediately echoed him.

Upon seeing this, Gao Yuliang's face grew even more gloomy.

He was clearly his own top disciple, yet he spoke up for his rival.

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, you are the chief prosecutor, tell me what should be done about this!" Gao Yuliang looked at Ji Changming with questioning eyes.

Then he glanced at Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei with disdain.

It was stated that the matter of arresting Ding Yizhen was under the jurisdiction of officials from the court and the discipline inspection commission.

It's not your place, as the director of the Public Security Bureau, to point fingers.

This is a blatant attempt to suppress Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei, however, hasn't realized what's happening yet.

He was obsessed with getting promoted to the vice-provincial level and wanted Gao Yuliang's vote.

Ji Changming heard his immediate superior, Gao Yuliang, ask him a question.

Ji Changming revealed a cunning, old fox-like expression.

He put down his teacup and said to everyone, "Secretary Yuliang, I respect your and the Provincial Party Committee's opinions!"

Let's have the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection handle this case first!

You can also hand it over to the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

"But in short, we still have to follow the legal procedures!" Ji Changming explained to everyone.

The tone was polite, but all the talk was nonsense.

In short, do whatever you want, just don't say it was my idea!

"Chen Hai, tell me your opinion!" Gao Yuliang turned his gaze to Chen Hai.

Having waited so long, Chen Hai, finally able to speak, couldn't contain himself and blurted out, "In my opinion, the procuratorate should detain him immediately!!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang was instantly enraged. If the procuratorate directly detained him, wouldn't that mean they were simply handing over their power to handle cases?

Clearly, his wisdom was not as mature as Ji Changming's.

"I understand, you mean the procuratorate will directly detain him and then transfer him to the higher authorities, right?" Li Dakang asked Chen Hai, his neck stiff.

Anger was boiling in his chest, and he could hardly contain it anymore.

This whole thing happened so suddenly. Ji Changming hasn't even given him an explanation yet, so why is he arresting his men for no reason?!

Now Chen Hai actually wants to relinquish his authority to handle cases.

Li Dakang didn't stand up and scold Chen Hai directly, all because of Gao Yuliang.

"This case originally belonged to the Supreme People's Procuratorate; we were just assisting in the investigation!" Chen Hai said without any hesitation.

He directly confronted Li Dakang, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

This scene filled Qi Tongwei with envy.

If only he had a powerful background like Chenghai's.

He also wanted to be so bold as to support a member of the provincial party committee standing committee.

"If the case is handled by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection first, we can still keep it under control. But if it is handed over to the Supreme People's Procuratorate, we will not know what will happen next!"

"No one can control how big the impact will be or how wide the scope will be!" Li Dakang spoke eloquently from the high ground of righteousness.

Clearly, he intends to retain the power to handle the case in Handong Province today, and absolutely not give it to the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

This is an attempt to minimize the problem and resolve it altogether.

In the end, Li Dakang seemed to realize the obvious bias in his words and deliberately explained, "I'm not protecting anyone; I'm thinking about the bigger picture. The 28 billion yuan Guangming Peak project absolutely cannot be affected by Ding Yizhen's corruption. It concerns the economic development of our entire province!"

"Old Ji, Chen Hai, this matter concerns the construction of Guangming Peak and the development of the entire province!"

"We still need to consider this carefully!" Gao Yuliang said, a smile in his eyes.

He was just watching the show; he wanted to see how Li Dakang would end up making a fool of himself.

"Secretary Yuliang, this matter is extremely important. The 28 billion yuan Guangming Peak project absolutely cannot be affected!" Upon hearing this, Li Dakang thought Gao Yuliang was supporting him, so he quickly echoed him with a serious expression.

I just hope that my old rival will let me off the hook in this matter.

"Leaders, stop hesitating! Arrest them immediately! It's been too long!" Chen Hai stood up anxiously and looked pleadingly at the people present.

What's the rush?

"I think it's very necessary to report this matter to Comrade Sha Ruijin!" Gao Yuliang said with a frown.

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Since Gao Yuliang brought up the newly appointed provincial party secretary, there's not much more to say.

You need to report to the boss!

Who would dare refuse?

Who dares to question it?

Who dares to deny it?

Everyone fell silent.

After a long wait, Gao Yuliang's secretary, Xiao He, came in.

He leaned close to Gao Yuliang's ear and said in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear, "Secretary Yuliang, Secretary Sha's call has been connected. He wants to speak with you personally."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang slowly stood up.

He glanced down at everyone, then walked into his office with his head held high and chest puffed out.

Give Sha Ruijin a proper report on your work.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qi Tongwei couldn't contain himself and made an excuse to go to the toilet after sitting for only a short while.

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang sat for a long time and went to the restroom several times.

Ji Changming and Chen Hai also went out several times in succession.

In short, everyone went out for a trip.
