In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Li Kangjian's side was also making rapid progress. After interrogating Ouyang Jing, they prepared to arrest Liu Xinjian. Liu Xinjian lived up to his reputation as Zhao Ruilong's sworn brother. Even Zhao Ruilong, that dim-witted playboy, thought that Liu Xinjian should run away, but he wouldn't. He thought that Zhao Lichun was already a second-level official, so why should he run away? There was no news at all, and he hadn't even prepared his money. Why would he run away? Go abroad and eat sand?

As a result, Li Kangjian and his men cornered him in the office.

To be honest, Liu Xinjian is really something that only exists in novels and TV dramas. If he were a 36-year-old bureau-level official, then the direction the Party Secretary points to would be my target to strive for!

My office is on the 18th floor. It takes the people from the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Bureau 30 seconds to get up, but only 4 seconds for me to get down! Don't ask, the answer is simply: to serve the emperor's wishes, I'll risk my life for him!

Even if he couldn't die, he would never betray his old Party Secretary; it was definitely not like what happened in the story!

But Liu Xinjian resorted to his old tricks again.

"You're just someone who reaps the benefits without sowing. What right do you have to say that this country was won by my grandparents' generation of proletarians? Can you even recite the Communist Manifesto?"

Okay, those words touched Li Kangjian, not moved him. Does it mean you want to compete with me in terms of family background? He's not Hou Liangping, a son-in-law who didn't have any impressive ancestors. Li Kangjian is a genuine young master from Beijing.

"Excuse me, Mr. Liu, my grandfather's rank was probably higher than yours. He was the political commissar of a regiment in the 120th Division in 1937, and a military political commissar during the Korean War in 1950. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 55. My maternal grandfather was similar, and they both participated in the Long March. But what you said is also true; I am indeed someone who has benefited from others' achievements. What about you? Hmm? The Communist Manifesto, right? Let me think!"

Well, Li Kangjian was overjoyed when he heard this, like drinking a big gulp of ice water on a hot summer day. He thought, "I've been wanting to rely on my grandfather and my family for a long time. Liu Xinjian is really good at this!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinjian was dumbfounded. "I just said it casually, and now your Li Kangjian family is more powerful than mine? A founding lieutenant general—what else can he compare to? Participated in the Long March? Climbed snow-capped mountains? This guy's grandfather and maternal grandfather were all early adopters! What does he have to compare to!"

"A spectre is haunting us, the spectre of communism..."

Upon hearing Li Kangjian's words, Liu Xinjian was even more bewildered. "You can really memorize that? I thought it was one of my specialties!"

Li Kangjian said that he memorized these when he was a child, and he is a true nationalist. What do you mean he can't do them?

Taking advantage of Liu Xinjian's momentary daze, several men grabbed him and pulled him down from the window.

Zhao Ruilong, holding binoculars at the opposite window, was very annoyed. "That idiot Liu Xinjian, he told me to leave but he wouldn't, damn it, he wouldn't jump, and I set up a sniper rifle here but he didn't dare to fire it. What a fucking piece of trash!"

Zhao Ruilong was throwing another tantrum, acting like a spoiled young master.

Then there's our foreign language enthusiast, Chen Qingquan, in the detention center!

"Chen Qingquan, your sentence has been served and you are hereby released. Please sign here!"

One of the policemen spoke to Chen Qingquan, who was overjoyed, finally able to leave! He was about to sign the papers!

The anti-corruption bureau has arrived!

"Chen Qingquan, you are suspected of committing a job-related crime and have been detained! Sign the papers! Come with us!"

Chen Qingquan looked left and right, pointed and then put his finger down, finally uttering a bitter sentence!

"You guys did a really good job with the transition! It was seamless!"

Chen Qingquan was indeed only good at relying on Russian women, not at handling things; he explained everything clearly.

Hou Liangping has now approached Gao Yuliang, hoping to gain his support as he aspires to become a vice-provincial level official! However, Gao Yuliang shut him down with a single sentence.

"I can only speak up for you if you bring Ding Yizhen back. You're the leader of the fugitive pursuit team. Why did Ding Yizhen escape the first time we tried to arrest him? I don't want things to go wrong the second time!"

Hou Liangping felt helpless upon hearing this. If Ding Yizhen had nothing to do with him and he hadn't gotten so deeply involved, Ding Yizhen wouldn't have been able to escape, let alone be pursued! But upon hearing Gao Yuliang's words, he could only pat his chest and assure him.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely do my job well!"

"Liangping, your father-in-law, Secretary Liang Qunfeng, has been incredibly kind to me. If it weren't for his recommendation, I might still be teaching in Handong. Of course I could, there's nothing wrong with teaching, but the political arena offers a much wider world for me! Don't let me down again, you little rascal!"

Gao Yuliang looked at Hou Liangping with a sorrowful gaze. He had already given up on Hou Liangping in his heart. This "brat" would be the last time he called him that!

Hou Liangping nodded and smiled, but the smile was bitter.

The news came out that very day, and the result was still unfortunate: Ding Yizhen had fled, and he had completely lost hope of surviving.

After learning some information, Gao Yuliang is now 100% certain that it was Hou Liangping who released Ding Yizhen, and that it was Hou Liangping who harmed Chen Hai!

Gao Yuliang was just waiting for evidence; he wanted to personally clean house!

Meanwhile, the second provincial committee meeting was being held. For some reason, Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang, those two old foxes, ended up walking together. When Li Dakang saw a car coming from behind, he instinctively protected Gao Yuliang! When Li Dakang saw this car, his scalp tingled.

Han A00004, this is Zhao Zhongxin's car. When Zhao Zhongxin saw the two of them, he got out of the car!

"Hello, Teacher Gao and Secretary Dakang!"

Zhao Zhongxin greeted him, and Gao Yuliang nodded, quite satisfied. He wouldn't say anything to Zhao Zhongxin!

"How many times have I told you, use your job title when you're at work!"

Zhao Zhongxin's status is already very close to his, and he is also Zhao Mengsheng's son. Calling him "teacher" is a genuine sign of respect, but calling him "Secretary Gao" would make him panic!

"Shin-chan! Hello to you too!"

Gao Yuliang smiled familiarly as well!

"Executive Director! Hello!"

Li Dakang is the normal way to address someone! The two weren't close to begin with. If he and Gao Yuliang hadn't been unable to mediate, he would have wanted to join the Han University gang, but now the opportunity is gone!

"Why didn't you go scout the location today?"

The three of them walked side by side, and Gao Yuliang said with a smile!

"Look at what you're saying! Last time I was really busy, I ran all the way here. Today is the second meeting, and it hasn't left a good impression either. I have to arrive early this time!"

Zhao Zhongxin burst out laughing! The other two laughed too! Li Dakang was genuinely envious; having a good father really makes a difference—he could speak so casually, and only he dared to say such a thing!
