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

Tian Guofu nodded, holding the verification report in his hand. After scanning the group of standing committee members, he said clearly, "Distinguished members, after receiving the report, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately established an investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the authenticity, source, filming details, and personnel involved in the video."

"After technical examination, the video showed obvious signs of editing and compositing, and was not the original footage. At the same time, we checked the relevant personnel involved in the video and found no record of any improper contact with Comrade Dakang, nor any clues to prove the authenticity of the video content."

He paused, then emphasized, "Based on all the findings of the investigation, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has determined that the alleged sex tape was maliciously fabricated and framed. Its purpose was to deliberately defame Comrade Dakang, damage the image of our province's cadre team, and disrupt the normal development order of Jingzhou."

"The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, in conjunction with the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Public Security Department, has launched a special investigation into those who spread rumors and fabricated videos. We will show absolutely no leniency and will resolutely safeguard the purity and seriousness of our cadre ranks."

How could it be a forgery?

Yi Xuexi's eyes widened. Was things really as he thought, with everyone from top to bottom trying to cover up for Li Dakang?

He glanced at Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu with disappointment, opened his briefcase, and was about to stand up.

Just then, Sha Ruijin added, "Comrade Guofu has already clearly explained the investigation findings and the characterization of the case. The organization trusts Comrade Dakang and believes that he will learn from this lesson and be more strict with himself in the future."

Sha Ruijin paused, his gaze falling on Li Dakang. "Comrade Dakang, please make a statement and give a brief self-criticism. The main thing is to reflect on your own words and actions, remind yourself and everyone here to pay attention to your words and actions in the future, and avoid giving those with ulterior motives an opportunity. This matter will end here according to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's characterization, and should not be spread any further."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuexi paused, then quickly took out a thick stack of documents and placed them on the table. He wanted to see what Li Dakang was going to say.

Li Dakang took a deep breath, feeling the strange gazes from all sides, stood up, and said in a sorrowful voice, "Thank you for the organization's trust, and thank you to Secretary Sha, Governor Chu, and all the Standing Committee members for their understanding and tolerance."

"Regarding this whistleblower incident, regardless of the authenticity of the video, I bear an unshirkable responsibility. I must offer a profound self-criticism. As the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, I am usually busy with official duties and have not been strict enough in restraining my own words and actions."

"A lack of vigilance towards the people and things around us gave rumor-mongers an opportunity, causing trouble for the organization and damaging the image of the cadre team."

"Here, I would like to once again offer my deepest self-criticism to the organization and to all the Standing Committee members. In the future, I, Li Dakang, will take this as a warning, strictly demand of myself, regulate my words and deeds, and devote all my energy to the development of Jingzhou. I will not let down the trust of the organization and the expectations of the people. I also ask all the Standing Committee members to supervise me."

After reading just a few words, Li Dakang seemed to have lost all his strength and ability. He bowed slightly and was about to sit down.

Sha Ruijin had already raised his hand to indicate that it was okay: "Very good, Comrade Dakang's self-criticism is very profound and his attitude is very correct. Everyone should take this as a warning. This matter ends here and should not be mentioned again in the future."

"Nonsense!"

Just then, Yi Xuexi, who was attending the meeting, suddenly stood up from his seat. He pushed his chair back, making a screeching sound, which instantly broke the atmosphere in the meeting room.

Damn it, here it comes!

Yang Xiaofeng was startled and nudged Lin Wenjie. The two quickly turned their heads, their faces filled with excitement, to look at this "Number One Mixer in Handong" and "County-Level Holdout".

Tian Guofu was equally pleased, but he still frowned on the surface. He knew he had to be patient, for patience was the key to great things.

The other members of the Standing Committee also had different expressions, wondering why today's Standing Committee meeting was so uneventful.

"Yi Xuexi, this is the Provincial Standing Committee meeting. You're just an observer. Your name wasn't called, so who gave you permission to speak? Your behavior is outrageous. Don't you have any respect for discipline?"

Li Dakang, who had just sat down, immediately sat up again, pointed at Yi Xuexi in the second row opposite him, and said in a deep voice.

He clearly added a proposal yesterday, specifically addressing the impact of Yi Xuexi's recent actions in Jingzhou on the city's ecosystem. However, after Sha Ruijin's five-person group meeting just ended, he didn't mention it.

He had planned to bring it up with Sha Ruijin and the other person later, but he never expected that Yi Xuexi would be so bold.

He brazenly jumped out and denied what the Standing Committee members had unanimously agreed on.

"Comrade Yi Xuexi, we did not ask you to speak. Please respect the meeting procedures and order." Sha Ruijin looked at him with a warning in his eyes.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Yi Xuexi picked up the thick stack of documents on the table in front of him and actually left his seat.

"I am the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou City. I have the right to supervise Comrade Li Dakang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. I do not agree with the decision you made! I have the truth here!" Yi Xuexi said as he handed out documents to the Standing Committee members one by one.

"This is a report that I had prepared by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, and the Technical Section. I prepared it three times in total, for all the leaders to see."

A copy was also placed in front of Sha Ruijin. He looked at it and then turned his murderous gaze toward Tian Guofu.

Did you instigate this? I was wondering why you were acting like a quail today, so quiet and reserved.

I didn't! I really didn't!

Tian Guofu shook his head slightly.

"Comrade Guofu,"

Gao Yuliang spoke slowly and deliberately, "I thought that Chen Hai and Hou Liangping were already quite capable in our political and legal system, but I didn't expect that someone in your Discipline Inspection Commission would be even more courageous than them."

I must be patient!

Tian Guofu held his breath, staring at the documents, his hands trembling slightly.

However, someone has already fired, and there must be other ships following behind.

"Yes, Comrade Guofu, you've done a good job as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. You're worthy of being Comrade Yi Xuexi's direct professional leader and the person who recommended his appointment." Yang Xiaofeng stretched his neck and said loudly and sarcastically.

"That's right. You previously said that the cadres under Comrade Yuliang's Political and Legal Affairs Commission were disorganized and undisciplined. I think your Discipline Inspection Commission is no less so."

Lin Wenjie shrugged.

"Comrades, the Discipline Inspection Commission is supposed to be a department that emphasizes discipline and rules, but Comrade Yi Xuexi seems to have failed to do so himself. Comrade Guo Fu, how are you leading the team?"

Damn it, Mr. Yu, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back anymore.

"Bang"

Tian Guofu put down the documents and slammed his hand on the table, causing Secretary-General Chen Jinyi, who was standing next to him, to tremble and spill some hot tea on his hand, crying out in pain.

"Ouch"

"What are you doing, Comrade Guofu?"

Tian Guofu ignored him, stood up, pointed to the side and said:

"Yang Xiaofeng, Lin Wenjie, what do you mean by this?"

"We didn't mean anything by it."

"We'll just do a token gesture."

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

The two shook their heads repeatedly, showing no sign of panic. Yang Xiaofeng even subtly rolled up his sleeves as a warning.
