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

Upon returning to Lüzhou, Minister Hao immediately got to work, not taking a break at all.

The task involved building the framework for Moon Lake University, which is very important.

The first step is to hire a group of publicity personnel from within China to prepare for the upcoming recruitment and publicity work for Yuehu University.

The second step is to contact the relevant departments and personnel at various universities in China who need to transfer their programs to Yuehu University.

At the same time, we also need to contact Dong Sheng and others to recruit a group of top technical experts from abroad and obtain the equipment needed by various laboratories of Yuehu University.

For several days in a row, Minister Hao went out early and returned late, eating and sleeping directly in Chen Luo's No. 1 compound of the Municipal Party Committee. As for Zhang Nian and the two little ones, school had already started in Jingzhou, so they went back to Jingzhou to study.

Having been in Handong for several days, Zhong Xiaoai felt it was time to talk to Tian Guofu in the office of the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. She also wanted to meet her husband, Hou Liangping.

When Tian Guofu arrived at his office and saw Zhong Xiaoai, he already knew her purpose.

"Comrade Xiao Ai is here? Please sit down."

After sitting down, Zhong Xiaoai looked at Tian Guofu with a sorrowful expression and said, "Secretary Tian, ​​is there still no conclusion regarding my husband Hou Liangping's case?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu shook his head.

"The investigation into Hou Liangping's case has not yet been completed. Hou Liangping insists that he did not accept bribes, but the evidence points to him. In addition, there are still hundreds of real-name whistleblower letters that have not been verified. It may take some more time."

"Secretary Tian! It's me!"

"Xiao Ai, you two are husband and wife, I understand how you feel, but you know the organization's principles, and you don't need me to remind you of the avoidance principle. You have to trust the organization!"

Zhong Xiaoai was practically cursing inwardly when she heard this.

"Secretary Tian, ​​I understand, but could I see my husband? I'd like to talk to him."

Tian Guofu tried to continue making excuses, but Zhong Xiaoai was staring intently at him, and if he refused again, things would really come to a head.

"Alas! Comrade Xiao Ai, how can a person be without feelings, even if they are not plants or trees?"

"Okay, I'll arrange for you to meet shortly, but you'll only have five minutes, so you'd better hurry."

"Thank you so much, Secretary Tian!"

An hour later.

In the interrogation room, Tian Guofu brought Zhong Xiaoai. Hou Liangping, who had been detained for a month, was in a daze and exuded an aura of decay.

"Ryohei!"

Hou Liangping mechanically raised his head only when Zhong Xiaoai called him. The moment he saw Zhong Xiaoai, Hou Liangping could hardly believe his eyes. He rubbed them hard before realizing that it really was his wife.

"Xiao Ai, is that you?!"

"It's me, I've come to see you!"

"Xiao Ai, get me out of here! Let Dad get me out of here! I really didn't take any bribes. Cai Chenggong framed me. I really don't know anything!"

Yes, it must be him, and Chen Hai and his son Chen Yanshi. They must have framed me. They were the only family I offended in Handong. Xiao Ai, I want to get out. I miss you and Haoran!

Hou Liangping struggled incessantly, and Zhong Xiaoai felt a tremor in her heartstrings, a surge of heartache and bitterness welling up inside her.

"Ryoping, don't worry, you'll be alright, believe me!"

Tian Guofu, who was standing to the side, watched very calmly. This was not the first time he had seen such a thing. For the Discipline Inspection Commission, it was commonplace and he was already used to it.

"Comrade Xiao Ai, we'll be there in five minutes."

After checking the time, Tian Guofu gave a reminder.

Zhong Xiaoai remained silent, then stepped forward and reached out to stroke Hou Liangping's gaunt face.

"Ryoping, wait a little longer! Wait a little longer!"

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoai got up and left resolutely.

Only Hou Liangping remained, his gaze blank.

Zhong Xiaoai exuded a chilling aura as she left the interrogation room. Tian Guofu noticed the change immediately but ultimately chose not to warn her.

"Comrade Xiao Ai, you are the deputy secretary; the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission must be carried out in accordance with laws and regulations!"

After saying that, Tian Guofu left.

Zhong Xiaoai stopped in her tracks, turned to look at the interrogation room, gritted her teeth, and said in a sinister tone, "Liangping, I will get you out. Those who slandered you will eventually pay the price!"

Just after getting off work in the afternoon, Zhong Xiaoai drove directly away from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, heading straight for the Guangming District Committee and Government.

Upon arriving at the district government building, Zhong Xiaoai set up a stakeout.

In the district head's office, even though it was past working hours, Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi were still working. The problem of adding floors to two old residential areas was getting more and more serious, and several buildings had already developed wall cracks.

Logically, given the current situation, ordinary people should prioritize their own lives and move away temporarily. However, money can be a powerful motivator, and some stubborn individuals believe that the government cannot stand idly by. They take this opportunity to live in the dilapidated buildings and threaten the Guangming District Committee and Government.

"Secretary Yi, the problem is very serious. If we don't take measures soon, the consequences could be dire if a collapse occurs..."

"I know the consequences will be severe, but compromising with one family means compromising with everyone. If each building has one or two floors, or even three floors, added, our demolition compensation will exceed the budget by several hundred million yuan. Neither of us can afford such a result!"

"This won't work, that won't work, we can't keep dragging this on, can we? If it really comes to it, let the police force us to move out!"

"Wouldn't that have a bad influence? Like this?"

"At this point, who cares about the impact? Since they won't listen to reason, let's be tough."

Have you forgotten about Dafeng Factory? They became completely obedient after arresting Zheng Xipo, right? I think they should be forcibly relocated!

Yi Xuexi was still hesitant, but Chen Hai kept urging him on.

"Sigh! Okay, I'll listen to you. Since they're so stubborn, they can't blame our government for taking a hard line!"

After receiving a positive reply, Chen Hai finally felt relieved. Given the current situation, forced relocation was the best option. He might be criticized by his superiors, but it was better than dragging things out and causing bigger trouble.

After the deal was settled, Chen Hai couldn't wait to go home and feel Tang Chuchu's soft body.

As soon as she drove away from the district committee and government, Zhong Xiaoai followed closely behind. She hadn't been sitting idly in Handong these past few days; she had thoroughly investigated Chen Hai, Chen Yanshi, and Cai Chenggong. She didn't believe that Cai Chenggong would suddenly accuse her husband without someone pushing things along.

We followed them all the way to the Jiangnan Jiadi residential area.

Watching Chen Hai get on the elevator, Zhong Xiaoai stood at the elevator door staring at the floor. The elevator eventually stopped on the 26th floor. After noting it down, Zhong Xiaoai left for the time being.

It was 8:30 p.m. When Chen Hai and Tang Chuchu finished their dinner, they walked out of the elevator hand in hand and strolled around the neighborhood, chatting and laughing. Zhong Xiaoai, who was secretly observing them, saw everything clearly.

"Who is this woman!"

Zhong Xiaoai frowned. The results of the investigation over the past few days showed that Chen Hai was single. He had confessed his feelings to Lu Yike, the director of the supervision office, some time ago, but was rejected. What about now?
