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

The message was received in the morning, and Zheng Xipo organized the workers in the afternoon. The workers at Dafeng Factory had been asking Zheng Xipo when the double payment he had promised would actually be in their pockets. Zheng Xipo was clever; he tearfully told the workers that he had been deceived by the Guangming District Committee and District Government.

The workers, who were already seething with anger, were further incited by Zheng Xipo. They unfurled a banner that read, "Chen Hai, the district head of Guangming District, is lawless and bullies the workers with impunity, relying on his collusion with Zhong Xiaoai, the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Handong Province."

Such entries are varied. In addition to having workers put up banners, he also had his son Zheng Qian take charge of filming, and edited them together with the original kneeling video and put them online.

The procession marched towards the district government building, with passersby taking out their phones to take pictures, until they arrived at the building.

The crowd grew larger and larger, drawn by onlookers and bystanders.

Chen Hai, who was having a headache in his office, heard the noise but before he could even open the window to see what was going on, Yi Xuexi pushed the office door open.

At this moment, Yi Xuexi's face was ashen, and his gaze toward Chen Hai was filled with dissatisfaction.

"Chen Hai, what's with those banners outside? What's your relationship with Zhong Xiaoai, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Do you know how much of a scandal this is causing?"

When Yi Xuexi questioned him like this, Chen Hai really didn't know how to explain or what to say.

After all, he and Zhong Xiaoai do have some kind of relationship.

"Secretary Yi, I'll handle this personally!"

Chen Hai hurriedly got up and rushed downstairs. Ignoring the sweat on his forehead, he saw Zheng Xipo standing in front of the banner from afar.

His heart skipped a beat; he knew this matter was probably not going to be resolved easily.

"Here he comes, here he comes, it's Chen Hai!"

He hooked up with Zhong Xiaoai from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

I heard that Zhong Xiaoai's husband is the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

"A public official like Chen Hai actually broke up someone else's family; his character is so despicable. Such a person is completely unfit to be a district head!"

Zheng Xipo held a large megaphone in his hand, and as soon as he said this, the eyes of all the onlookers lit up.

"Zheng Xipo, shut up!"

Chen Hai was trembling with anger, pointing his finger at Zheng Xipo, wishing he could sew Zheng Xipo's mouth shut.

"Everyone heard that, right? Our District Chief Chen is so powerful, he told me to shut up?"

Does he not want to listen to the voices of ordinary people? Has his power become so great that he can cover up everything?

Hmph! I refuse to believe it. I'll say it even if you tell me not to. Chen Hai, you hypocrite!

You used your power to force us workers to give up our interests; so this is the kind of person you are!

By interfering in other people's families and by having Zhong Xiaoai backing you up, you simply don't respect the people.

We will absolutely not back down; we will expose you!

Photos and videos documented the farce, which was being broadcast live online by several people, especially Chen Hai's furious state.

The more you suppress public opinion, the worse it gets.

Chen Hai was truly speechless at this moment, after all, the fact that he and Zhong Xiaoai had an affair was undeniable.

After the standoff lasted for about ten minutes, Chen Hai had no choice but to slink back to the building.

Zheng Xipo didn't press the matter further; he had enough material, and if he didn't leave now, the police would be coming soon.

The video went viral, and the content was incredibly explosive.

Small conference room in the Hantong Provincial Party Committee building.

The Standing Committee meeting is currently underway.

Just as everyone was discussing a project, Li Dakang received a message on his phone.

Upon opening it, Li Dakang suddenly stood up.

This directly interrupted everyone's train of thought.

"Comrade Dakang, what's the matter?"

Sha Ruijin looked on with curiosity and confusion, while Li Dakang said with a solemn expression, "Secretary Sha, just now..."

A procession of several hundred people marched past the Guangming District Party Committee and District Government offices, carrying banners to expose the situation.

The person who exposed this was District Chief Chen Hai, who claimed that Chen Hai had gotten close to Comrade Zhong Xiaoai of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is why he acted so recklessly.

Someone was live-streaming from the scene, and various pictures have already caused a sensation online.

"It exploded like that?"

Tian Guofu acted like a bystander, completely lacking the composure he had shown earlier.

"Ahem, Comrade Guofu, what do you mean? You know about this?"

As soon as Sha Ruijin spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Tian Guofu.

"Um, Secretary Sha, this morning there was an update on the public opinion regarding Comrade Zhong Xiaoai's previous affair. This time, some details have been exposed, including that the affair partner is Chen Hai, the head of Guangming District. However, we cannot confirm whether it is true or false yet. Our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is still investigating."

Also, Chen Hai is single, and Comrade Zhong Xiaoai is currently divorced from Hou Liangping and is also single.

Finally, Tian Guofu didn't forget to add this sentence.

Everyone was surprised at first, but then they couldn't help but laugh.

"Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, Secretary Yuliang, regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it has escalated to this point, and our provincial party committee cannot allow public opinion to continue to ferment."

I suggest we investigate all the issues thoroughly!

Our Party should not allow comrades who commit adultery and other immoral acts to remain in important positions.

Chen Luo spoke up, and Gao Yuliang nodded with a smile in agreement, saying, "Comrade Chen Luo makes a lot of sense. As the ancients said, 'If you can't sweep your own room, how can you sweep the world?' It's truly questionable to appoint someone with such a chaotic private life as the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Sha Ruijin remained calm. He had indeed promised Zhong's father to take care of Zhong Xiaoai, but that was all within the rules. Sha Ruijin himself couldn't possibly be blindly biased towards Zhong Xiaoai.

"Yes, this is indeed very necessary!"

Comrade Guofu, your provincial discipline inspection commission must initiate an internal investigation to clarify this matter. If it is indeed found to be immoral or immoral, our provincial party committee will absolutely not tolerate it!

"Secretary Sha, rest assured, I will provide the investigation results within three days."

After the meeting, some people went about their business, while others worked on resolving issues. In the secretary's office, Sha Ruijin took out his phone and called Zhong's father.

"Hello, Director Chung!"

"Oh, it's Comrade Ruijin. What can I do for you?"

"Director Zhong, Comrade Xiao Ai's reputation in Handong seems to be... This morning, it was revealed that she had an affair with the district head of Guangming District, Jingzhou City, Handong Province. The public opinion is very strong! Just now, some comrades at the Handong Standing Committee meeting said that if it is true, Handong cannot tolerate such cadres with improper conduct continuing to remain in leadership positions."

"Director Zhong, although I am the top leader, I really cannot show favoritism towards Comrade Xiao Ai on such an issue."

Mr. Zhong felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

He had only just learned of this news. Generally, people would turn a blind eye if no one was paying attention, but now that it had caused such a stir, he had to respond.

Taking a deep breath, Mr. Zhong sighed.

"Comrade Ruijin, I understand. I will have Xiao Ai handle it properly and will absolutely not cause any trouble for the Handong Provincial Committee!"
