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

Zhu Yang was being watched the entire time as he walked out of the residential area.

Looking at the sun gradually setting in the west, I felt that it was so dazzling at that moment.

"Heh, they've all given up on me. In ten minutes, I drank some tea, played a half-finished game of chess, and didn't even offer a single word of advice."

A bleak smile appeared on his face as he staggered along, a stark contrast to his impeccably tailored suit.

After an unknown amount of time, he returned to school in a daze. He didn't even want to eat lunch and went straight to his dormitory, intending to rest and wait quietly for the study session to end so that someone would come to "invite" him back.

There were four people in his dormitory, all of whom were at the same rank as him, vice minister level.

At this time, one person was still present, and he was an acquaintance: Ye Qian, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City.

Upon seeing the other person enter, Ye Qian merely glanced at them casually before continuing to bury himself in his homework.

Given his relationship with Li Dakang, how could he possibly give Zhu Yang a friendly look?

Most of the others also knew or had heard about Zhencheng's affairs and maintained a nodding acquaintance with Zhu Yang.

Zhu Yang didn't care about this. He took off his shoes, plopped down in a chair, and stared blankly at the black computer screen.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

'Bang bang'

"Please come in," Ye Qian said, glancing at Zhu Yang who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed.

The moment the dormitory door opened, both of them looked over.

Standing at the head of the group was the school's academic affairs director, along with several men dressed as members of the disciplinary committee.

"Director Sheng, hello, what brings you here?"

Ye Qian seemed to be deep in thought, then stood up and asked a question.

"Comrade Ye Qian, this is a task the school is cooperating with the Discipline Inspection Commission on."

Director Sheng smiled and said, "This is Secretary Yuan from the Discipline Inspection Commission."

"Secretary Yuan, hello."

Ye Qian quickly greeted him, shook hands with him, and made way for him.

Subsequently, Director Sheng and Secretary Yuan and their entourage entered the dormitory, went directly to Zhu Yang's side, raised their hands to show their identification, and said with serious expressions: "Comrade Zhu Yang, we are staff members of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervisory Commission. According to the work arrangement and entrusted by the Xinjiang Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission and the Ministry of Public Security with the order to assist in the investigation, we are taking detention measures against you today in accordance with the law to conduct an investigation. Please cooperate with our work and come with us."

At the same time, the "Detention Decision" and "Case Filing Decision" were shown to Zhu Yang, Director Sheng, and other school staff, and the core contents were briefly explained.

"The reading is finished. Comrade Zhu Yang, if you have any objections, you may file an appeal later. Now, please sign."

From the moment these people entered, Zhu Yang was filled with extreme fear.

Even knowing that this might be my fate, I didn't expect it to come so quickly and so suddenly. What happened to Bai Jiang?

Looking at the detention order in front of him, Zhu Yang's lips moved slightly, and then a look of doubt appeared in his eyes: "Comrade, is there some misunderstanding? I have always strictly abided by the rules and regulations, and I have never done anything illegal or against the law."

"Whether you did it or not needs to be investigated. If the investigation confirms that you are innocent, we will clear your name. But for now, Comrade Zhu Yang, we ask for your cooperation," Secretary Yuan said calmly.

"Director Sheng, Director Sheng, please say a few words for me. I'm still studying, I..." Zhu Yang looked at Director Sheng, somewhat incoherently.

"Comrade Zhu Yang, please cooperate with the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission. The school will temporarily retain your student status. There are no problems, and you can come back at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, tears welled up in Zhu Yang's eyes. Guilt, fear, and regret surged into his heart in an instant. He knew it was all over, and there was no time to recover.

He picked up the pen, his hand trembling uncontrollably. It took him several attempts to write his name on the decision form. His handwriting was messy and crooked, a stark contrast to his usual neat handwriting.

After signing the confirmation, Zhu Yang fell into a brief numbness, staring blankly ahead as if his soul had been ripped away. Suddenly, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"take away!"

Secretary Yuan said in a cold voice, "I've seen this kind of scene many times before."

He was arrogant before being arrested, but after being arrested, he was in tears and full of remorse.

With a wave of his hand, the staff behind him immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhu Yang, and dragged him away from the dormitory.

"Comrade Ye Qian may talk to you later because he shares a dormitory with you. Just stay calm and tell him the truth."

Director Sheng patted Ye Qian on the shoulder with a gentle expression.

"Also, do your homework well. The person who will be evaluating you is Secretary Chu, the part-time professor and chief student advisor. He told me that if you don't get an excellent grade, you won't be allowed to graduate and will have to continue studying."

"Yes, Director Sheng, don't worry, I will definitely study hard during my time at school and cherish this hard-won opportunity." Ye Qian quickly replied, his heart filled with excitement. He hadn't expected that Secretary Chu would still pay attention to him, so he had to perform well and not embarrass himself!

"Okay, you're busy."

Director Sheng nodded, walked out of the dormitory, and quickly followed Secretary Yuan and his entourage.

No one tried to hide anything. Even the Discipline Inspection Commission's car was parked in the square in front of the main building, and the scene of Zhu Yang, who looked like a dead dog, being carried along was seen by everyone else without missing a beat.

They know this is meant to be seen, to intimidate and to warn, but how many people will actually take it to heart is anyone's guess.

……

Meanwhile, the Discipline Inspection Commission of Baijiang Province also officially notified the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, as well as the Party Committee and Municipal Government of Youcheng City, of the investigation and review of Zhang Yang.

Subsequently, at a sudden meeting of cadres in Youcheng City, Hu Daoheng, the full-time deputy secretary and newly appointed municipal party secretary, presided over the meeting. During the meeting, people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived and took away the mayor, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, the director of the Finance Bureau, and other relevant personnel in front of everyone.

These people trembled and went limp the moment they were taken away. Some even wet their pants in fear, and they were carried into the car as if they had contracted some kind of disease.

Some of the others who weren't taken away were secretly filled with fear.

Some people stared with shining eyes at the empty seats; they were eager to improve.

While turmoil is brewing in the oil city, undercurrents are also surging in Zhencheng.

As night deepens, the city lights become dazzling and colorful.

In the center, in a secluded private club.

Li Dakang sat upright in the main seat of the sofa, his back straight, his face expressionless, but his eyes held a subtle scrutiny as he looked at the middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle opposite him, Chairman Xu.

He had been invited several times before, but he had refused each time, citing "newly arrived at his post and numerous affairs" as the reason.

Firstly, he was new to the country and his position was not yet secure, so he cherished his political influence more than anyone else.

Secondly, that's just how he is. In Handong, he would never easily have any private dealings with business people. Apart from formal occasions, he would never agree to meet them in private, and his subordinates would always take the blame.

This time, it was Chu Shijun who asked him to meet him, and that's why he agreed.
