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

However, sometimes children understand these principles, but adults may not truly take them to heart.

During his time in Handong, Zhao Ruilong had a very smooth time, managing to control both Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai.

Zhao Ruilong, who clearly only needed to add a little more fire to burn Zhong Xiaoai to death in Handong and ensure her eternal damnation, chose precisely this moment to give Zhong Xiaoai a chance to catch her breath.

Zhong Xiaoai's investigation into the Shanshui Group is becoming increasingly in-depth, and she has even reached the core of the Shanshui Group!

"The relationship between Liu Xinjian and Shanshui Group is definitely not simple. It is one thing for a dignified state-owned enterprise boss to frequently appear at Shanshui Manor, but he is also Zhao Lichun's former bodyguard and secretary."

A behemoth that monopolized oil and gas in Handong not only failed to make a profit, but actually lost money every year…

Zhong Xiaoai tapped her fingertips lightly on the laptop on the table, then swiped the mouse to continue viewing the details.

"Perhaps this is the lifeblood of the Zhao family!"

After a long while, Zhong Xiaoai made her own judgment.

A flash of malice crossed his eyes.

That afternoon, Zhong Xiaoai used her position as deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission to review some internal documents about the oil and gas group. Subsequently, some of Zhong's professional data analysis teams began to get involved, and within just one night, they discovered obvious loopholes.

The income and expenditure statements were falsified!

Income significantly exceeds expenses, so there is no possibility of loss!

But the reported accounts show either a small profit or a small loss, and this has been the case for several years in a row.

If Zhong Xiaoai still doesn't understand the tricks involved, she might as well resign as deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

If the accounting is suspected of being falsified, then it is suspected of tax evasion. At the same time, this is a state-owned enterprise, so where did the profits go?

This also involves the crime of embezzling state-owned assets, and Zhong Xiaoai can already figure out where the money went.

With this data to support their investigation, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection directly set up a special task force to conduct a secret investigation into Handong Oil and Gas Group, all of which Zhao Ruilong was unaware of.

And what is he busy with?

Guangming District Committee and Government.

Gao Xiaoqin arrived at the secretary's office, where Yi Xuexi and Chen Hai had been waiting for several minutes.

"Secretary Yi, District Chief Chen, I'm sure you both know why I've come."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuexi nodded.

"President Gao, your Shanshui Group wants to change the land use nature of the Dafeng Factory site. To be honest, this is not an ordinary matter, especially since Shanshui Group wants to owe the government the difference in price after the land change."

Yi Xuexi's statement means he disagrees.

And what about Chen Hai?

Last night, Zhao Ruilong had just called him and subtly mentioned this matter. As long as he agreed and supported it, Zhong Xiaoai was at his mercy.

At first, Chen Hai disagreed, since this kind of thing violated the rules. However, when Zhao Ruilong's bribery failed, he resorted to threats. He threatened that if Chen Hai did not agree, Zhao Ruilong would release all those videos and ruin his reputation.

Between being exposed as a social outcast and expressing an opinion, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see which choice is right.

"Secretary Yi, actually, Shanshui Group's idea is not bad. That piece of land is currently used for industrial purposes."

However, the surrounding land has long been designated for commercial use, and continuing to preserve it would not generate tax revenue. Moreover, very few companies in Jingzhou have the capability to develop this land.

I agree with the Shanshui Group's request; the only difference is that the price difference will arrive a little later.

With Chen Hai acting as a mediator, Yi Xuexi's attitude became rather delicate.

"That's true. Keeping that land isn't a good idea. Our district committee and government support the Shanshui Group's plan to develop it into a commercial district, but there's the issue of the land transfer price difference..."

"Secretary Yi, District Chief Chen, our Shanshui Group is currently experiencing a cash shortage. Could the government possibly provide some relief and support?"

Yi Xuexi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "This is not something I can decide. Let me report it to the city first."

After leaving the district committee and government building, Gao Xiaoqin didn't even bother to pretend anymore and directly called Zhao Ruilong to tell him about Yi Xuexi's vague attitude. Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong's anger flared up instantly.

It's that bastard Yi Xuexi who demolished his food court again, and now he's blocking the review process?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. How could someone as awesome as Zhao Ruilong be stumped?

In the office, Chen Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to avenge his father and was willing to sacrifice some of his own, but when it came to the loss of the country, there was still a hurdle in Chen Hai's heart.

However, this dilemma doesn't last long.

When a phone call came in, both Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi were stunned.

"Hey, District Chief Chen, this is troublesome. Just now, the director of the demolition office was arrested."

"Do you know who arrested him?"

"They're from the Provincial Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau! They said there's sufficient evidence to prove Director Lan is suspected of bribery and they're taking him away for investigation."

"The Anti-Corruption Bureau? How come we didn't know about this!"

Chen Hai was furious. After all, he came from the Anti-Corruption Bureau. In this kind of situation, they would usually inform the provincial party committee and government before making an arrest. But the Anti-Corruption Bureau skipped their district party committee and government. Was this acceptable?

The answer is yes, but it could easily provoke dissatisfaction from the top two local officials.

In the anti-corruption bureau's interrogation room, Director Lan of the Guangming District Demolition Office was somewhat uneasy until Hou Liangping personally came to sit down in front of him.

"Director Lan, is that right? The demolition office is a very important position. You've been using your power to accept bribes of nearly a million yuan from the construction company lately. You've got some nerve!"

Hou Liangping came straight to the point, without uttering a single word of nonsense. This left Director Lan, who was still trying to deny it, dumbfounded. She opened her mouth wide but couldn't utter a single word.

"My time is limited, Director Lan. You have to seize this opportunity."

After saying that, Hou Liangping took out a document from behind him, threw it on the table, and left.

Time ticked by, and a few hours later, Director Lan couldn't take it anymore and confessed his problems clearly. He said he had received a total of 1.7 million yuan in cash from the construction company, just to get the staff responsible for inspecting the project quality to turn a blind eye.

Once the results were known, Hou Liangping immediately launched an attack. The boss who had originally undertaken the renovation project in Guangming District was arrested, along with several other staff members who were responsible for supervising the construction.

This really worried Chen Hai to death.

Regardless of whether the construction company has any problems, the Guangming District is losing money every day since the project has stopped, and the foundation piles have already been driven in. If there are indeed quality issues, the work will need to be redone...

I can't imagine the construction period will be extended to the year of the Ox and the month of the Horse.

The finances of Guangming District are running out of money every day, and even the landlords don't have any grain stored up! Besides, it's all borrowed.
