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

The interrogation record was quickly sent up.

After reviewing the report, the deputy head of the investigation team for Chen Yanshi's case immediately contacted Gao Yuliang.

"Secretary Gao, the investigation into Comrade Chen Yanshi's case has been largely completed."

Gao Yuliang reached out and took the thick stack of interrogation materials, adjusted his glasses, and began to look through them.

As he looked at the document, he asked, "Where has the investigation progressed to?"

"Secretary Gao, in accordance with your and other leaders' instructions and considering Comrade Chen Yanshi's health condition, we notified his spouse, Comrade Wang Fuzhen, as soon as the investigation into Comrade Chen Yanshi was launched, in accordance with regulations."

"In addition, as required, Comrade Wang Fuzhen provided relevant materials, so she was informed of the entire process," the deputy team leader replied.

Gao Yuliang nodded, glanced through the key points, and then looked up and said, "Then, in accordance with regulations, notify Comrade Chen Yanshi for a final interview and questioning. Be polite; he's getting old and can't handle too much. Governor Chu's intention is to only ask relevant questions and not delve too deeply, relying on the interrogation materials as the basis."

After a pause, Gao Yuliang sighed, thinking of Chen Yanshi's age and health condition, and shook his head, saying:

"As for the final filing and review, the Provincial Party Committee will make a decision and issue a separate notice. This preliminary investigation material should be simplified and submitted to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. It will then be submitted to the Standing Committee in my name. That's all."

"Yes, Secretary Gao, I'll take care of it right away." The deputy team leader took the materials and turned to leave.

"Old Chen, Old Chen, why can't you understand this?"

Gao Yuliang sighed.

The Standing Committee meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow morning.

This time, it's not that they want to take Chen Yanshi down.

Rather, from the moment the whistleblower report was submitted, Secretary Sha Ruijin had already made a decision and made a special trip to Lincheng to investigate.

The other party would never hand over any leverage. In other words, Sha Ruijin would neither be able nor dare to speak up for him this time. Being expelled from the party and dismissed from public office is probably the best outcome.

It's just a matter of whether Chen Yanshi, with his old bones, can hold on.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Provincial government.

Chu Shijun's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, a number from the capital city.

He already had a general idea of ​​who was calling the person who had gotten his private number.

"I am King Chu Shijun."

Chu Shijun answered the phone.

"Hehe, Governor Chu, hello, this is Zhong Zhenguo." Zhong Zhenguo's voice came from the phone.

After much deliberation, he made the call anyway, feeling he needed to do Chu Shijun a favor and show his attitude.

"Oh, it's Minister Zhong. Hello," Chu Shijun thought to himself, "As expected," and said with a faint smile, "Why did Minister Zhong call me?"

"Well, I'm not afraid to tell you, Comrade Shijun, but every family has its own troubles."

Zhong Zhenguo sighed. "I already know about the trouble that brat caused this morning. I'm calling to apologize to Comrade Shijun and Comrade Yuliang."

"You entrusted this junior student to my family, but I didn't discipline him properly, and he made a fool of himself, causing trouble for the comrades in Handong."

"To be honest, when I brought him to Handong, Xiao Ai was already thinking about divorcing him. But as you know, families like ours need to be mindful of the consequences, so I held back for a while and decided to wait. I never expected this whole mess to happen."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shijun calmly replied, "Comrade Zhenguo, you flatter me. Handong and the capital are thousands of miles apart, and you can't remotely control Hou Liangping's work. It's inevitable that some mistakes will happen."

Is this all you said on the phone?

Sorry, I don't care whether they get divorced or whether their relationship is good or bad.

After a few moments of silence on the other end of the phone, Zhong Zhenguo said, "Comrade Shijun, the ministry recently reported on a comrade named Lin Yingcai. I heard he worked for you for a while before?"

"Yes, I followed them for a while." Chu Shijun smiled slightly, his tone revealing a hint of reminiscence. "That was almost twenty years ago."

"Comrade Yingcai lives up to his name. I've reviewed his file and achievements, and to be honest, Comrade Shijun, you've nurtured a talent for the organization," Zhong Zhenguo remarked. "After careful consideration, we unanimously agree that recommending Comrade Yingcai for appointment is reasonable, and we might even give him more responsibilities. Perhaps you, his former superior, could share this good news?"

"Isn't that inappropriate?"

"That's right, look at me, that brat made me lose my mind," Zhong Zhenguo said as if he had just realized what was happening. He quickly added, "Comrade Shijun, just pretend you didn't hear that. If word gets out, I'll be breaking the rules."

"Comrade Zhenguo, what are you saying? We're comrades, it's understandable that you were a little anxious for a moment."

Chu Shijun smiled with satisfaction and continued, "That's settled then. I have some things to take care of here. Also, when is Comrade Xiao Ai coming to Handong? Why don't you invite her over as a guest? We can talk again another day?"

"Alright, Comrade Shijun, then I won't bother you any longer."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Shijun tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

The Zhong family is certainly determined and shameless; they cut off one arm in Bianxi and now they're giving up a son-in-law in Handong.

They are much better than some who don't understand their own capabilities.

As for what happens next, that's up to fate.

To stand firm, one must be strong oneself.

It is difficult to achieve anything by relying solely on the kindness of others.

'Bang bang'

There was a knock on the office door. Zheng Yu pushed the door open and stepped aside. "Governor Chu, Director Qi is here."

"Governor."

Qi Tongwei said with a smile.

Upon returning from receiving the commendation, he immediately came to report to Chu Shijun.

"Come, sit down and let's talk." Chu Shijun shook hands with him and pulled him by the arm to the sofa.

Soon, the two of them brewed tea and lit cigarettes.

"Tongwei, how was your trip up there?" Chu Shijun asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei took a deep drag of his cigarette. Recalling the scene, a thousand words condensed into one sentence: "Governor, I desperately want to advance!"

"Hehe, you rascal," Chu Shijun shook his head with amusement, "It's good that you want to advance, I support you, but the work in the ministry is not the same as in the local area. You won't be as prestigious as you are in Handong when you go there."

"Minister Zhou has taught me a lot these past few days," Qi Tongwei said with deep agreement, then his face showed a firm expression. "I understand even more now that the position we hold is both power and responsibility. If we act ethically, we are serving the people no matter where we are."

"Hmm, not bad. With this awareness, your trip wasn't in vain."

Chu Shijun asked approvingly, "Are you aware of what has happened in Handong these past two days?"

"I got a general idea on the way here. It's all being handled by Deputy Director Zhao," Qi Tongwei nodded solemnly. "Also, Governor, besides Liu Xinjian's suicide this morning, there's another thing that I find strange."

"What is it?"

"According to my subordinates, the Anti-Corruption Bureau was supposed to transfer someone from the Provincial Department to conduct an interrogation. However, this morning, the vehicle that was transporting the person had an accident on the road and was run over by a drunk truck. One of my colleagues from the Department and the people being transferred are currently in the hospital and have survived for the time being."

Based on his extensive work experience, Qi Tongwei immediately sensed something was wrong after hearing about this.

What are your thoughts?

Chu Shijun gestured for him to continue.

"That's right. Our provincial department doesn't handle the transfer of suspects in the interrogation stage as strictly as it does for serious offenders, but the transfer routes are still planned. Usually, new recruits are sent on missions to gain experience, but this time the route was a bit unusual, specifically detouring around a development zone under construction."

"Furthermore, the person who was transferred is named Cai Chenggong. He reported Ouyang Jing at the time, and he was also the one who reported the Shanshui Group and Dafeng Factory incidents. Therefore, I suspect that this incident happened in a very suspicious way."
