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

Early the next morning.

Chen Luo rubbed his kidneys, realizing that his strength was far inferior to what it was ten years ago.

Upon arriving at the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary Liu Mingyu had already arranged a time for the report.

9:40.

The small conference room of the Provincial Party Committee.

There were three people who came: Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin, Deputy Provincial Party Secretary Gao Yuliang, and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu, plus Chen Luo, making a total of four.

In fact, Governor Liu and Chen Luo had also called to inform him, but Governor Liu was busy with government work and was unwilling to come. He simply said that it would be handled lightly according to Party discipline and regulations.

"Secretary Sha, Secretary Yuliang, Secretary Guofu, the investigation results of Comrade Lu Yike of Jinghai City have confirmed that Zhao Lidong, Deputy Secretary and Mayor of Jinghai City, and Meng Dehai, Deputy Mayor and Director of Public Security Bureau of Jinghai City, have long acted as a protective umbrella for Jinghai Qiangsheng Group, provided protection, and accepted bribes, etc."

It even involved Huang Limin, the retired former member of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization.

However, it's likely that Old Huang was merely being used by Gao Qiqiang; whether he directly intervened or provided protection requires further investigation.

After Chen Luo finished speaking, the people present visibly gasped. This was systemic corruption that had gone unnoticed for over a decade.

Sha Ruijin was the first to express his opinion.

"Comrade Chen Luo, thank you for your hard work in the investigation team. The joint investigation team has done a great job. Such vicious corruption needs to be thoroughly investigated!"

Officials who violate discipline and the law must be dealt with seriously!

Gao Yuliang followed closely behind.

"Comrade Chen Luo, I'd like to add something. We must resolutely investigate cadres who violate discipline and the law, but shouldn't we also be mindful of the impact? We shouldn't make too much of a fuss and cause local unrest."

Chen Luo smiled and nodded.

"Secretary Sha, Secretary Yuliang, your opinions are very valuable. We must investigate, but the methods and approaches are very important. We can't do it like making an American blockbuster."

Thus, Secretary Guofu and I personally made a trip to Jinghai, ostensibly to inspect the work, but in reality, we would hold a meeting at Shuanghui afterwards.

Minimize the impact as much as possible.

Tian Guofu, standing to the side, felt somewhat helpless. He hadn't even agreed yet, but he was already being arranged for this. However, he was only helpless; he was still happy inside. Arresting Zhao Lidong, a full-fledged department-level cadre, and Meng Dehai, a deputy department-level cadre, were both achievements for him!

"Hmm, this plan is good. Secretary Guofu can secretly accompany you to Jinghai."

By the way, the name Zhao Lidong is quite interesting. Our former Party Secretary of Handong was named Zhao Lichun, which means spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Is there any connection between them?

Sha Ruijin smiled faintly, his meaning quite clear: he wanted to make a fuss about it.

"Secretary Sha, there seems to be no contact at the moment. Former Secretary Zhao Lichun is a native of Jingzhou, while Zhao Lidong is from Jinghai. Perhaps they are just people of the same surname and generation, it's just a coincidence."

It was, in fact, a coincidence.

If Zhao Lidong is really Zhao Lichun's relative, then why would he stay in Jinghai and not be able to leave?

They were promoted a long time ago.

Sha Ruijin was just asking casually; he himself had this basic judgment.

"Alright, since a resolution has been reached, then we'll trouble Comrade Chen Luo and Comrade Guo Fu to make the trip."

"No problem!" ×2

After the meeting, Chen Luo and Tian Guofu left together.

The two walked together, and naturally, they talked quite a bit.

"Secretary Chen, our Discipline Inspection Commission is somewhat ashamed. It's one thing that we didn't discover the problems with the Jinghai Cadre Department, but the key point is that your Political and Legal Affairs Commission's investigation team found the problems as soon as they went down there."

well!"

Chen Luo shook his head after hearing this.

"Secretary Guofu, this is normal. You've only been in Handong for less than a year, while the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jinghai City has been rooted in Jinghai for more than ten years. Turning a blind eye is very common in local areas."

"Secretary Chen is right. Cadres like this cannot remain in Jinghai. Even if they haven't violated any rules or laws, they are still inactive. Yes, they must be replaced!"

The two essentially decided during their conversation that the career of the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jinghai City would come to an end.

This is power!

Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.

In the interrogation room, looking at Cai Chenggong who seemed completely unfazed, Zhao Donglai felt a headache coming on.

Cai Chenggong was caught last night. Zhao Donglai originally planned to interrogate him personally to get him to explain the share pledge, but Cai Chenggong just wouldn't talk.

He even kept insisting on meeting Hou Liangping, the head of the anti-corruption bureau.

"Director Zhao, don't waste your energy. I don't trust you. I only trust Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!"

I won't tell anyone but him!

Faced with this result, Zhao Donglai could only call Li Dakang to ask for his opinion.

"Feed Secretary Dakang!"

"Speak, Donglai."

Li Dakang sounded clearly busy, so Zhao Donglai didn't dare delay and directly explained his purpose.

"Secretary Dakang, our municipal bureau has arrested Cai Chenggong, the boss of Dafeng Factory. However, Cai Chenggong refuses to answer our questions and even demands to see Comrade Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, saying that he will not talk to anyone except Comrade Hou Liangping."

After a pause, Li Dakang gave a direct instruction: "Here's what you do, call the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and have him come over."

"Yes, Secretary Dakang!"

After ending the call, Zhao Donglai immediately called Hou Liangping.

"Hello, is this Director Hou?"

Hou Liangping had been waiting for news for the past few days, and he never expected that Zhao Donglai would actually call.

"It's me, Director Zhao!"

"Director Hou, our municipal bureau has already apprehended Cai Chenggong, but he says he won't talk to anyone except you and refuses to answer any questions. Secretary Dakang wants you to come to the municipal bureau so he can personally inquire about the results."

Zhao Donglai also specifically mentioned Li Dakang, just to tell you Hou Liangping that it was Secretary Dakang who allowed you to meet Cai Chenggong, and you should remember Secretary Dakang's kindness.

Unfortunately, Hou Liangping was an ingrate at heart.

They didn't take it to heart at all.

"Alright, alright, Director Zhao, wait for me, half an hour, no, twenty minutes! I'll bring people over right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Hou Liangping called Chen Hai and they went straight to the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.

Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Municipal Bureau.

Hou Liangping and Chen Hai quickly got out of the car and headed straight for the interrogation room.

Upon arriving at the interrogation room, Chen Hai intended to greet Zhao Donglai first, but Hou Liangping spoke first.

"Director Zhao, where is Cai Chenggong?"

Zhao Donglai was taken aback, mainly because he hadn't expected Hou Liangping to be so impatient. He glanced at Chen Hai, and seeing Chen Hai nod, Zhao Donglai pointed to the interrogation room next door.

Without saying a word, Hou Liangping headed towards the interrogation room.

"Chen Hai, your Director Hou is very dedicated to his work."

Chen Hai smiled and shook his head.

That's just his personality.

The two chatted casually for a while.

And what about Hou Liangping?

Upon meeting Cai Chenggong, Hou Liangping went straight to the point.

"Baozi, I'm here. Just say what you want to say."

Cai Chenggong was very excited.

However, after cautiously glancing around, she whispered in Hou Liangping's ear, "Monkey, save me! I've been framed! It's Li Dakang's wife, Ouyang Qing. If she hadn't taken money and refused to do her job, I wouldn't be in this situation!"

Suddenly, Hou Liangping's eyes lit up – there was a big fish!
