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

Back in the neighborhood, Chen Hai was seething with anger. He reached out and hugged the hot-bodied Tang Chuchu.

As a result, Tang Chuchu quietly struggled out.

"Brother Hai, not now, I'm on my period."

Chen Hai was stunned for a moment, but seeing Tang Chuchu's shy and guilty expression, he still chose to believe her.

"Okay, then you should take a rest these few days."

"Okay, Hai-ge, I'll take Cai Cai to sleep tonight so I don't disturb you when I get up at night."

Before Chen Hai could agree, Tang Chuchu slipped away.

When Tang Chuchu arrived at Cai Cai's room, her expression was extremely unpleasant.

At this moment, Cai Cai also peeked out from under the covers.

Looking at his mother, he asked curiously, "Mom? Aren't you going with Uncle Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chuchu shook her head, then went to Cai Cai's side, pulled back the covers, and lay down.

"What do you know? I originally thought that by hooking up with your Uncle Chen, the two of us would be set for life."

Now things aren't looking right. That idiot Chen Hai doesn't know his own limitations; he dared to mess with those big shots. He's going to be finished sooner or later.

"Oh? Mom, then we'd better be careful."

"Nonsense, I don't need you to remind me. Just cooperate for a while and squeeze every last drop of value out of your Uncle Chen. Then we'll go straight back to our hometown. We can't stay in Jingzhou any longer."

"I have to move again? I don't want to leave..."

"You have to leave, whether you like it or not!"

For a moment, Cai Cai fell silent.

......................................................

Back at the provincial party committee compound, at nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Luo had just finished showering when his phone rang.

I picked up the phone and saw that it was Mr. Xu calling.

"Hey Mr. Xu, you already miss me after only a few hours? Next time you come to Beijing, I'll definitely have a few drinks with you."

Chen Luo made a joke, while Old Xu's tone remained calm.

"Don't interrupt, there's a result regarding the Tazhai Village matter."

Chen Luo's expression turned serious in an instant.

You'd never guess who got involved.

"Mr. Xu, I am not familiar with Handong, but you are most likely someone who has worked in Handong."

"Your guess is accurate. The mastermind or the one who condones it is the former secretary of Handong, now one of the deputy secretaries, who is currently in charge of religious affairs. His grandson got into drugs five years ago and has been unable to quit ever since."

Later, he was taken over by international drug traffickers. As his grandfather, he couldn't just sit idly by. He only had this one grandson, so he had to keep cleaning up his grandson's mess.

The attack on Qi Tongwei was arranged by him and international drug traffickers; one provided the manpower, and the other was responsible for making the connections.

"Sigh! It's all because of overindulgence again!"

Chen Luo sighed, while Old Xu continued, "We just had a meeting and decided to handle this secretly and not announce it to the public."

I'm telling you this so you can tell Liu Changsheng something; it's something on his mind.

He still has six months before retiring, so it's good that he can fully support your development of Luzhou during this time.

"I understand, thank you, Professor Xu!"

"No need to thank me. Without you developing Suzhou back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. Your future is equally bright. I'm nurturing you for the people, and also to leave a legacy for myself. I'm being very direct; it's up to you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo returned to his bedroom and opened the door to find the room filled with spring sunshine.

"Dry!"

At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Luo was not in a hurry to return to Luzhou. It was Saturday, so he could stay for two more days.

Liu Mingyu had already made an appointment to meet with Governor Liu at nine o'clock in the morning.

Unhurriedly, Chen Luo arrived at the provincial government at 8:40 and was greeted by his secretary before being taken to the reception room.

At 8:55, Chen Luo pushed open Governor Liu's office door. Governor Liu was reviewing documents, the sound of his pen scratching the paper crisp and clear.

"Please sit down, no need for formalities."

Governor Liu looked up and put down his pen.

"Why aren't you at home with your family at this time? What are you doing here at the provincial government? Luzhou isn't short of funds, is it?"

Governor Liu smiled faintly, while Chen Luo shook his head.

"Luzhou has no shortage of funds, but Governor Liu, there's some news you might be interested in."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"What Qi Tongwei said to me that day was actually giving me some clues. The matter of Tazhai Village ultimately pointed to Secretary Miao, who took office in Handong."

Governor Liu, who had been calm, was instantly stunned.

"What did you say? Who are you pointing at?"

"You heard right, it refers to Secretary Miao. His grandson was corrupted by international drug traffickers, and the grandfather helped cover it up for his grandson, but in the end, he got deeper and deeper into trouble."

In just a few short years, Tazhai Village has grown to a scale that is arguably unparalleled in the entire country.

Governor Liu's body trembled slightly as he slowly stood up.

"What was the result?"

Chen Luo calmly replied, "It will be handled secretly and not made public, but it's certain that he will have no descendants."

At that moment, Governor Liu felt relieved.

He has held a grudge ever since someone parachuted in and took his position as secretary four years ago; he considers ruining someone's future as killing their parents.

If the person who came was a capable Governor Liu, then there would be no problem, but he doesn't know anything and only knows how to follow Zhao Lichun's framework.

It's obvious he came here just to gain experience. How could Governor Liu not hate that such a person has ruined his future? It's just a pity that the other party's blood is too red.

There was no way to get revenge; all I could do was watch others gain experience and rise through the ranks after a few years of training.

Now... hearing that it was handled secretly, Governor Liu was finally relieved, even though he hadn't personally brought about the other party's downfall.

"Thank you, Chen Luo, thank you for telling me this news!"

Governor Liu's gratitude at this moment was genuine, without the slightest pretense.

"Governor Liu, no need for thanks. Please continue with your work. I'll be leaving now."

After leaving the provincial government building, Chen Luo did not choose to go home, but instead had the driver take him to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the First People's Hospital of the province, Chen Luo, accompanied by Dean Xun, went to the ward where Qi Tongwei was located.

Through the hospital room door, Gao Xiaoqin was sitting inside. Upon hearing the door open, she immediately stood up when she saw Chen Luo.

"Secretary Chen!"

"Is Mr. Gao here again?"

Chen Luo remained calm.

Then he looked at Qi Tongwei, who had already woken up, and saw that he was clearly more energetic than yesterday.

"Secretary Chen, you're busy, I'll be going now."

Gao Xiaoqin slowly left the ward, as did Dean Xun, leaving only Chen Luo and Qi Tongwei in the room.

"I've already reported the news you mentioned, and there's been a result. I won't go into the details, but in short, those who needed to be tried have been tried."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei tried to speak, but Chen Luo stopped him with a gesture.

"I'm here to tell you that the higher-ups are aware of your situation, and it's only a matter of time before they investigate it thoroughly. If you want to protect yourself, then take some time to recuperate and then go to Secretary Guo Fu to confess. If you want to protect everyone else, then be prepared to face the investigation. The choice is yours."

This message is your reward for your hard work over the past few months; I won't help you with anything else.

Think about it yourself.

After saying that, Chen Luo got up and left the ward, leaving Qi Tongwei alone, caught in a dilemma.
