In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

"Xiao Ming!"

"Aren't you working in the capital? What are you doing in Handong?"

Huang Weimin was getting restless.

Huang Ming explained, "Second Uncle, my superiors recently felt I needed to gain some experience, so they transferred me to Handong as the president of the Higher People's Court. By the way, Second Uncle, do you know Secretary Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo looked at Huang Weimin and smiled, saying, "Your second uncle and I are more than just acquaintances."

Huang Weimin finally felt a little embarrassed.

"Um... well, Secretary Chen and I met in Jinghai. Never mind that for now, tell me about yourself first. It's been several years since we last met. Are you and Yangyang doing well?"

? ? ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo's eyes widened instantly; the onlookers had already tuned in!

"Sigh, Second Uncle, my husband and I have always had a good relationship, but perhaps because Yangyang doesn't want to see her family, she just doesn't want to be transferred to Handong to be with me."

"After all, twenty years have passed."

At this moment, Chen Luo interrupted their conversation.

"Huang Ming, the Yangyang you're talking about isn't actually named Chen Yang, is it?"

"Oh? Secretary Chen, you know my wife?"

"I don't know her, but I've heard of her. She's the eldest daughter of Chen Yanshi, the retired executive chief prosecutor of the procuratorate."

"That's right, Secretary Chen, but my wife severed ties with her family twenty years ago and hasn't come back much in recent years."

Huang Weimin, who was standing to the side, immediately began to explain.

"Secretary Chen, you may not know this, but back then, the stubborn old man Chen Yanshi prevented Chen Yang from getting together with the current Director of the Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei. His real purpose was to use Chen Yang as a marriage alliance to gain some political resources for the Chen family."

At that time, Xiaoming and Chenyang got along quite well, so Chenyang chose to be with Xiaoming and subsequently severed ties with his family. It's a rather complicated story.

This is also why Huang Weimin, despite disliking Chen Yanshi, repeatedly chose to help Chen Hai.

It's not just about Wang Fuzhen's relationship; of course, Huang Weimin wanted to help Chen Hai, but Chen Hai didn't appreciate it, so there was nothing he could do.

Chen Luo had already stopped observing other people's family affairs; it would be impolite to ask any more questions.

"Alright, Huang Ming, you talk to your second uncle, I'll head over first."

After getting up, Chen Luo walked straight away, leaving the uncle and nephew alone.

"Second Uncle, you and Secretary Chen seem to have a good relationship. Tsk tsk tsk, you didn't also realize that Secretary Chen is no ordinary person, did you?"

Huang Ming's words made Huang Weimin cough.

"You know nothing, kid. Chen Luo and I became friends after a fight back in Jinghai..."

After listening to his second uncle recount how he met Chen Luo, Huang Ming looked at his second uncle with a strange expression.

"Second Uncle, you really don't know anything about Gao Qiqiang's matter?"

"Um, I know a little, but I really don't know anything about his murder. I originally thought he was just using my influence to expand the Qiangsheng Group, which isn't a bad thing. The Qiangsheng Group has contributed to the development of Jinghai."

Huang Ming shook his head. This kind of thing can be big or small, the key is how to define it. Obviously, his second uncle was one of the lucky ones.

"You'd better not do this kind of thing again."

"Do you need to tell me? I can fake fainting once, twice? Where would I put my face then?"

Besides, now that you're working under Secretary Chen, even if your second uncle is foolish, he wouldn't make things difficult for you.

Huang Ming nodded.

"Second Uncle, Secretary Chen is really amazing! When I parted ways with my old leader, he specifically instructed me to follow in his footsteps closely from now on."

"Who says otherwise? A 38-year-old provincial standing committee member, you'd better seize this opportunity!"

"I understand, Second Uncle."

"Good that you understand. By the way, I must remind you, don't pay any attention to Yangyang's family. They're all a bunch of good-for-nothings, especially that Chen Yanshi, he's such a stubborn old mule. Some relationships are best severed, don't cause trouble for yourself."

"Yes, Second Uncle, I understand. Yangyang told me before I came to Handong that I should not contact the Chen family."

"Ugh!"

Huang Weimin shook his head and said, "It's just that I feel sorry for Yangyang. You haven't mistreated him all these years, have you?"

"How could that be! I'm too busy protecting Yangyang to care. Besides, she's my son's mother, my wife. No matter what her past experiences were like, as a man, I know she's completely innocent!"

"Pah, you know it yourself, why tell me? Go away, get out of the way, don't get in my way."

Huang Ming was eventually kicked out.

The activity to visit and comfort the veteran comrades has come to an end.

To be honest, even dealing with these old comrades for just two or three hours felt more tiring than working a whole day in Luzhou. He was afraid that he might accidentally fall into their trap; money and power are tempting!

Chen Luo has already made up his mind; he will never participate in the慰问活动 (comfort and support activities) next year, no matter what.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, most government offices had already closed for the holidays. Director Hou Liangping had also prepared his plane ticket to return to Beijing to reunite with his family. To be honest, after being cooped up for a month or two, he was getting restless.

My flight is at 3 PM.

It's 10 a.m. Now, after instructing the staff on duty during the Spring Festival, Hou Liangping returned to his residence and began packing his luggage.

Meanwhile, Cai Chenggong, who had been detained for several months, suddenly requested to report the matter to the Discipline Inspection Commission at the Guangming District Public Security Bureau in Jingzhou City.

Upon receiving the tip, staff from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived at the Public Security Bureau.

Cai Chenggong lived up to expectations by revealing that Hou Liangping was a shareholder of his coal mine, and insisted that the shares were bribes given to Hou Liangping.

Since the case involved a deputy director-level official, the staff of the municipal discipline inspection commission quickly reported the news to Lü Liang, who then called his superior, the provincial discipline inspection commission.

When Tian Guofu received this news, he was shocked. The reason was simple: an investigation of the coal mining company clearly showed that Ding Yizhen and Hou Liangping were shareholders.

Even Tian Guofu himself was unsure about this news. After all, Hou Liangping was the sharp blade that Sha Ruijin had personally requested to come to Handong. If the situation was true... then the problem would be difficult to solve.

Tian Guofu was also a master of Tai Chi; since he couldn't make up his mind, he would report to the provincial party committee.

The phone calls kept coming in.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

The small conference room of the Provincial Party Committee.

Governor Liu did not come; only Gao Yuliang, Sha Ruijin, and Tian Guofu, who came to report, were present.

"Comrade Guofu, is the information you mentioned on the phone true?"

Tian Guofu nodded.

"Secretary Sha, based on the current investigation, Cai Chenggong and Hou Liangping have known each other since childhood. We now have Cai Chenggong's statement and the coal mine company's shareholding structure, and Hou Liangping's name is indeed on the shareholder list!"

Sha Ruijin's expression turned grim.

A smile of unexpected delight appeared on Gao Yuliang's lips!
