Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

Provincial Party Committee, Gao Yuliang's Office.

Li Beiguo came to report on his work with great joy.

He sat ramrod straight at his desk and reported on the arrest of Liu Xinjian.

After listening, Gao Yuliang frowned slightly and asked, "Have you reviewed all the materials?"

"Secretary Gao, rest assured, I've reviewed the interrogation materials. It was Ouyang Jing who spoke the truth. The Anti-Corruption Bureau also has video recordings of the interrogation room."

Li Beiguo quickly replied.

"Ms. Ouyang Jing was the deputy bank manager before. She must have known that perjury is a more serious crime and would not make such a mistake."

"So you approved the warrant? To arrest a bureau-level official?" Gao Yuliang asked again.

"Yes, Secretary Gao, I was thinking of having Director Hou and the others invite Liu Xinjian back for questioning," Li Beiguo nodded. "Don't worry, I've instructed Director Hou to be very polite."

*Slap*

"To be polite?"

Gao Yuliang slammed his fist on the table. "Liu Xinjian is the chairman of the oil and gas group, a bureau-level cadre. Whether it's summoning him for questioning or arresting him, the former requires my approval as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the latter requires approval from the provincial party committee. Which of these two points have you fulfilled? Or have you notified Comrade Ji Changming? Does he know about this and has he given his approval?"

Li Beiguo was startled and quickly stood up. "Secretary Gao, I've come to report to you."

Seeing Gao Yuliang's gloomy face, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's mainly because Director Hou said that Liu Xinjian is involved in the Shanshui Group's affairs. He said that Secretary Sha is also keeping an eye on it, so I approved the note. But Secretary Gao, don't worry, it's not an arrest, it's just a normal summons for questioning."

Just then, the office door opened, and Gao Yuliang's secretary, Xiao He, strode in, looking somewhat grave. Before he even reached him, he said, "Secretary Gao, something has happened."

"explain."

"Just a few minutes ago, Liu Xinjian, chairman of the oil and gas group, jumped from his office and was confirmed dead on the spot," Xiao He said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Gao Yuliang jumped to his feet. "Immediately notify the provincial department to implement a soft blockade on the oil and gas group. All witnesses must sign confidentiality agreements. The news must not be disseminated before the provincial party committee issues its order! Risk control must be strengthened through all channels! Go now!"

"Yes!" Xiao He nodded, turned around and ran out.

"Look what you've done! Is this what you call being polite?" Gao Yuliang said, pointing at Li Beiguo.

"Secretary Gao, I...I..."

Li Zhiguo's lips trembled, his face turned pale, and he really didn't know what to say.

"What are you talking about? Stop your nonsense. I'm asking you why you didn't submit a report?"

"Ring ring ring"

The landline on the desk rang.

Gao Yuliang quickly picked up the phone and answered it.

"I am Gao Yuliang."

"Secretary Yuliang, have you received the message?"

Chu Shijun's voice came through.

"Governor Chu, I just learned that the provincial department has been ordered to suppress the news," Gao Yuliang said.

"Yes, you are the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. You will personally oversee this matter, thoroughly investigate the cause and process, find out who in the procuratorate approved the order, and who in the anti-corruption bureau handled the matter. All relevant personnel will be suspended from their duties pending investigation. And it must be done quickly!"

"The suicide of a bureau-level official has an extremely negative impact and is a very serious matter. I will inform Secretary Sha and have them return. Depending on the situation, if necessary, we will decide whether to convene an emergency meeting of the Standing Committee tonight to discuss the matter."

Gao Yuliang nodded and said, "Okay, Governor Chu, I will keep an eye on it personally."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Li Zhiguo expressionlessly and strode out.

"Go to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervisory Commission to report and truthfully explain what happened."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiguo's legs went weak, and he braced himself on the table with his hands.

How did it come to this?

Lin Jianguo was admitted to the hospital yesterday, and he only approved a note for him today!

I haven't even warmed my seat yet, and I already have to report to the Discipline Inspection Commission?

He had originally planned to hold the reins of the procuratorate in a grand and glorious manner for a period of time, and to achieve some results based on his healthy body.

But in just a few hours, this location changed so drastically that it became his final resting place?

He doesn't understand!

Li Zhiguo dragged his heavy steps and slowly walked outside.

……

Lincheng, Economic Development Zone, on the lakeside road.

Sha Ruijin, Tian Guofu, and Zhou Guichun rode bicycles in pairs, one in front of the other, with several secretaries following at a distance.

"Secretary Sha, you're in great shape. You've been riding for so long and you're not tired at all," Zhou Guichun said with a smile, wiping non-existent sweat from his face.

"Hehe, Comrade Guichun, you need to exercise more. Health is the foundation of everything."

Sha Ruijin turned his head and said something, then quickened his pace even further.

Seeing this, Zhou Guichun subtly quickened her pace, maintaining a steady distance.

"Comrade Guichun, as far as I know, Comrade Ruijin often plays basketball. Some people say that playing basketball involves shouting and jumping, so playing more will improve your lung capacity and leg strength, and your body will naturally be healthier," Tian Guofu said from the side. He was not as good as the two of them and was panting heavily, truly sweating.

"Yes, basketball is good, you have to play basketball." Zhou Guichun agreed wholeheartedly, glanced at Tian Guofu, shook his head and smiled.

If you're so good at basketball, why don't you play? You get so tired just riding a bicycle, and after only about seven and a half minutes, you're already like this.

"Secretary Sha!"

At this moment, Bai Jingwen and his group of bicycles caught up from behind, pedaling furiously.

Sha Ruijin squeezed the handbrake; his secretary had suddenly called him, so something must have happened.

"What is it?"

"Secretary Sha, Governor Chu and the Provincial Party Committee Office just called, asking you to return..." Bai Jingwen hadn't finished speaking when Tian Guofu interrupted, "Weren't we notified that we were conducting research in Lincheng? What's the urgent matter?"

Nonsense, would you call unless it's urgent?

Also, could you please wait until I finish speaking before interrupting me?

Bai Jingwen secretly rolled his eyes, and Sha Ruijin and the other man also showed their dissatisfaction.

"Liu Xinjian, chairman of the oil and gas group, jumped from a building during an arrest operation by the anti-corruption bureau. It has been confirmed that he died on the spot," Bai Jingwen said in a deep voice.

"What?" ×3

Tian Guofu's tone carried a hint of joy.

Zhou Guichun's tone was normal.

Sha Ruijin's tone was tinged with shock and anger. Was it a case of a bureau-level official jumping off a building, or was it caused during the anti-corruption bureau's arrest?

"What exactly is the situation?"

Sha Ruijin slammed on the brakes and stared wide-eyed.

"From what I understand, after they arrested Ouyang Jing yesterday, they found out that Liu Xinjian of the oil and gas group had problems during the interrogation. Then this morning, Director Hou Liangping went to the procuratorate to get a note and went to arrest people. As a result..." Bai Jingwen didn't finish his sentence.

"What is Lin Jianguo good for? Yesterday, arresting Ouyang Jing, a division-level cadre, was barely acceptable, but now he's arresting a bureau-level cadre. Did he even report to the provincial party committee? Did he dare to just approve it directly?"

"Sha Ruijin said in a deep voice, his voice full of anger."

"Comrade Ruijin, we are, after all, in Lincheng. Right now, isn't Comrade Shijun and Comrade Yuliang in charge of the Provincial Party Committee? Do you think they might have reported to them?"

Tian Guofu reminded him from the side.

He wiped his sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally stopped. He was exhausted.
