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

"Keep eating! Keep eating! Why don't you pack up the rest of the food?"

Zhao Donglai said irritably!

"You should have said so earlier! Is it too late for me to go back and pack now?"

After Li Kangjian was out of danger, he started joking around. He also had a good impression of Zhao Donglai. Li Kangjian was very satisfied with Zhao Donglai's protection when he visited Chen Hai last time, so the two are now friends!

"You fucking bastard, I really want to crack open your head and see what's inside. I know you're all that big shot in Beijing, a lieutenant general, but this is Handong, and the waters here run deep!"

Zhao Donglai spoke seriously! Li Kangjian shrugged dismissively! To be honest, he panicked for a moment, but he couldn't admit to panicking!

"Oh dear, wait a minute!"

Li Kangjian was about to say something when the phone rang. He saw it was Zhao Zhongxin and quickly answered it!

"Brother Xin! Yes, yes, I'm fine. Okay, okay, I'm coming to your house now!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Kangjian said to Zhao Dong!

"To the provincial party committee compound!"

"Executive duties?"

Zhao Donglai asked a question!

"Yes, Donglai, don't leave yet, let me introduce you to the executive director!"

Li Kangjian said with a smile, and Zhao Donglai's eyes lit up!

"Big brother, no, little brother, are you sure? This is really a surprise!"

"Now that you've joined our operation, you're one of us. Let's get to know each other!"

Li Kangjian also wanted to recruit Zhao Donglai into their Han University gang. As a young master from the capital, Zhao Donglai had his own political acumen, and one day he would be useful to someone like him.

Although Zhao Donglai has connections with Li Dakang and Sha Ruijin, who is Zhao Zhongxin? How many people in Handong don't know who his father is! Zhao Donglai feels that getting to know Zhao Zhongxin will definitely be worthwhile!

Not long after, Li Kangjian led Zhao Donglai into Zhao Zhongxin's home. Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei were also there, all looking at Zhao Donglai after Li Kangjian arrived!

With varying expressions, Qi Tongwei knew that Zhao Donglai was a staunch supporter of Li Dakang. Li Dakang, that scoundrel, claimed to have cried at the grave! He also remembered that Li Dakang had been heartbroken when he visited the grave back then, but he hadn't shed a tear.

So Qi Tongwei disliked Zhao Donglai, no, he hated everyone around Li Dakang! His political future was almost ruined by him!

"Hey, isn't this Donglai? Ding Yizhen's old comrade-in-arms?"

Qi Tongwei sarcastically remarked that this wasn't just empty talk; before Ding Yizhen's incident, he would tell everyone he met that he and Ding Yizhen were old comrades-in-arms on the same side!

"No way? How did Ding Yizhen become my old comrade-in-arms!"

Zhao Donglai quickly explained, and Li Kangjian hurriedly said!

"Senior, don't be like that. Comrade Donglai is now our comrade-in-arms. Come, come, Donglai, let me introduce you. This is Secretary Gao Yuliang!"

Li Kangjian explained with a smile, and Gao Yuliang naturally understood that Li Kangjian was trying to win over Zhao Donglai.

Zhao Donglai also gave a salute!

"Hello, Secretary Gao!"

"Donglai! You're a veteran of law enforcement in Handong, and as his teacher, I have to thank you for investigating Chen Hai's murder case!"

"You're too kind, Secretary Gao. It's just my duty!"

Li Kangjian then introduced Zhao Zhongxin!

"Come, Donglai, this is Zhao Zhongxin, the Executive Vice Governor!"

Zhao Donglai immediately stood at attention and saluted Zhao Zhongxin!

"Hello, Executive Director Zhao!"

The reason Zhao Donglai wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Zhao Zhongxin was that Zhao Zhongxin was the current executive director and the future governor. The provincial government had twenty-four departments, including the Public Security Bureau, and Zhao Donglai was aiming for Hou Liangping's position as Public Security Bureau chief! Zhao Zhongxin would be his future superior! Because no matter how fierce the power struggle, Zhao Zhongxin couldn't possibly fall from power! That's why Li Kangjian's introduction of Zhao Zhongxin caught his eye!

"Hello! Director Zhao! Or should I call you Deputy Mayor Zhao?"

Zhao Zhongxin stood up and shook hands with him! Then he waved to the housekeeper, indicating that tea should be served!

"Oh, Executive Director, you're too kind to call me that. You're a few years older than me, and you hold a higher position. Just call me Xiao Zhao!"

Zhao Donglai's answer was watertight. He was the most worldly-wise cadre in the original work. He directly said "to avoid offending superiors," which made Hou Liangping and Lu Yike in the original work both amused and exasperated. But this shows that such a person understands political rules and knows how to respect his superiors. Everyone likes such a person!

"Haha, don't be so polite. I'll just call you Donglai because I'm with Ah Kang. As for Chen Hai, well, it's confirmed now. Hou Liangping is the murderer who killed Chen Hai. Now we should be on the same side as Sha Ruijin."

At this point, Zhao Zhongxin paused for a moment!

"I'm not here to help the so-called Sha family gang fight Zhao Lichun's Zhao family gang; I want to clean house! Teacher Gao thinks the same way!"

When everyone heard Zhao Zhongxin address Sha Ruijin by his name, they didn't think much of it. Only Zhao Donglai's eyes twitched. He really was a high-ranking official's son; one should be respectful of one's superiors! However, he didn't have much say and didn't say anything, but he felt that following Zhao Zhongxin was definitely better than following Sha Ruijin.

Hou Liangping also had Zhao Ruilong make a phone call to Zhao Lichun. Zhao Lichun remained silent for a long time before saying something.

"I'll handle it!"

Hou Liangping and Zhao Ruilong's last resort was to falsely accuse Li Kangjian of corruption. They essentially threatened Cai Chenggong, who was guarding the prison, to bribe Li Kangjian. After saying just one sentence, Cai Chenggong became obedient!

"We know where your wife and children live!"

With nowhere else to turn, Cai Chenggong could only be led around by the nose by his childhood friend Hou Liangping!

Xiao Gangyu, a member of the Han University gang, or rather the Zhao family gang, directly reported Li Kangjian's acceptance of bribes to Gao Yuliang!

"Nonsense, their provincial procuratorate doesn't know, but your Jingzhou municipal procuratorate does?"

Gao Yuliang looked at his subordinate of many years and was speechless. This person seemed to be from the Han University gang, but he was actually from the Zhao family gang. Zhao Lichun must have sent him!

"It's because the provincial procuratorate is so tight-knit. The suspect, Cai Chenggong, has already been threatened with death, so how could he dare to speak to anyone from the provincial procuratorate? We also reported him through Cai Chenggong's wife, Zhu Min. Li Kangjian made death threats, and Cai Chenggong's wife, Zhu Min, transferred money to Li Kangjian twice, once for 300,000 yuan and once for 200,000 yuan!"

Xiao Gangyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly that he had always been Zhao Lichun's man, and that he had only spoken out today because Gao Yuliang had severed ties with the Zhao family. Otherwise, it would have been better for Gao Yuliang to report him! The report from the Provincial Third Committee was far more important than his own report!
