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

Hou Liangping was also sentenced by the Supreme Court of Handong. Zhao Zhongxin and Gao Yuliang didn't even need to say anything; Sha Ruijin had already taken action and sentenced him to death, deprived him of his political rights for life, and the sentence was to be carried out immediately!

You, Hou Liangping, think you're so great? You dare to write articles about me? You claim I'm abusing my power for personal gain at Dafeng Factory? Now, I'm going to take your life! And strip you of your political rights for life!

As for what it means to be deprived of political rights for life, when you go to work, your boss can find any reason not to pay you your salary; if you get into a fight and the other person hits you, and their hand hurts, they can ask you for compensation. Basically, anything related to people has nothing to do with you anymore!

However, even if you are deprived of your political rights for life, you don't need to be afraid, because this is the lightest punishment you can receive. It is usually accompanied by death penalty, suspended death sentence, or life imprisonment!

This is why Hou Liangping always wanted to be promoted to the vice-ministerial level, because once he reached the vice-ministerial level, he would be a centrally managed cadre, not a provincially managed cadre, and the province would not have the right to sentence him!

Hou Liangping also learned of this outcome. Although he knew he wouldn't survive, hearing the news still terrified him, and his body trembled uncontrollably. In prison, Zhao Donglai, with a twisted sense of humor, locked him and Cai Chenggong together. Cai Chenggong had been utterly ruined by Hou Liangping, losing everything. Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred, so he was constantly fighting Hou Liangping in real combat, right there in the prison cell, in a real octagonal cage!

Hou Liangping still wanted to see Zhao Zhongxin, but Zhao Zhongxin had no chance of seeing him. Finally, on the day before he left, only Qi Tongwei came to see him with a few dishes and a bottle of wine!

Hou Liangping repeatedly asked Qi Tongwei to pass on a message to Zhao Zhongxin, but Qi Tongwei remained silent, simply drinking glass after glass. Finally, Qi Tongwei uttered a single sentence.

"Goodbye, monkey. Teacher Gao asked me to see you off!"

"Open the insurance!"

Hou Liangping ended his sinful life. Fortunately, Hou Liangping had a bad reputation, so Handong University never put his name on the list of outstanding alumni. Now it's saved us from scraping it off!

Liang Lu did not show up. Hou Liangping's body was collected by people from his hometown. Liang Lu had already divorced Hou Liangping when he went to prison. After all, Liang Qunfeng still had old friends in Handong. It was just a small favor for him!

When Wang Fuzhen learned that Hou Liangping had been executed, she was overjoyed. The murderer who had killed her child had finally paid the price!

That's when we burned paper money for Chen Yanshi that day to tell him the good news!

Lu Yike was also very happy, not only because Hou Liangping had murdered Chen Hai, but more so because the cancer in Handong had been removed. If there was one person in Handong she hated the most, it was Hou Liangping! His Shanshui Manor was a den of iniquity for many people in Handong before. She didn't even want to talk about it. He was almost involved with drugs, otherwise, he would have been gone long ago!

The sentence was handed down: fifteen years. He remained defiant, saying nothing and refusing to say anything. If he had opened his mouth and uttered even a word, his sentence might have been reduced to ten years! He truly did what he said to Hou Liangping and Zhao Ruilong: "Onion and Orange!"

The extent of the damage didn't matter anymore; the main thing was that he had already dealt with his enemy, Zheng Xipo. He was very satisfied with Zheng Xipo's current situation. Chang Chenghu often came to visit him, and each time he brought news of Zheng Xipo's situation! He always listened with a smile!

Zhao Ruilong was also sentenced to death, and all his assets were confiscated. The dirty deeds he committed were outrageous! On his deathbed, he learned that his father had been sentenced to life imprisonment and placed under investigation. He was resigned to his fate, but still unwilling to accept it! All of that vanished with that bullet!

Zhao Lichun's second daughter, Zhao Xiaohui, was also arrested. She had done just as many dirty things as Zhao Ruilong and was sentenced to death. Zhao Lichun's eldest daughter, however, was fine. She was a citizen without a legal status, but she had no future.

The Zhong family, not only killing him but also destroying his spirit, showed Zhao Lichun the video and photos of Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Xiaohui being shot dead. Zhao Lichun's veins bulged as he watched. What could be more painful than seeing his own children die in front of him, especially being shot like this?

But that's the rule of the winner-takes-all game. The loser might not pay with their life, and their family might be fine if they don't get involved. But if they do get involved, they'll still pay the price! You can't expect to enjoy a life of luxury and then leave with dignity, can you? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

Zhao Lichun wanted to die, but he couldn't. Few people could bite their tongue to commit suicide. What other way was there? There was none, because Zhao Lichun was, after all, a high-ranking official. Even though he was under investigation, his treatment was still quite good. His room was all soft-padded, and there were no sharp objects. Not to mention sharp objects, even the corners of the table and bed were soft!

Zhao Lichun can only spend the rest of his life alone, with the Zhong family frequently showing him videos of his son and daughter's tragic deaths!

Then there's Gao Xiaoqin. Gao Xiaoqin was only convicted of bribery and illegal business operations and sentenced to ten years. She can still live a carefree life after she gets out because no one dares to touch the two hundred million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. Gao Yuliang is currently riding high. Although he and Gao Xiaofeng have divorced, no one dares to touch him!

Therefore, Gao Xiaoqin, Gao Xiaofeng, and their child will still be able to live a life of luxury in the future! Leaving Handong, they can be happy for the rest of their lives in Hong Kong!

Zheng Qian was also sentenced to ten years, but it's for the best. Once out, he'll be like his father, relentlessly pursued by debt collectors and beaten! It's better than being in prison. Zheng Qian is living a comfortable life in prison now. Aside from having to learn the Jingzhou dialect, his older brother treats him quite well. He's even willing to do *that* for his brother, pronouncing words in half, very cooperatively. His older brother also treats this beauty very well; the food he eats in the cell is second only to his brother's! And his brother forbids anyone from messing with him; he's become the queen of this prison cell!

Then there were all the other fish, who were all sentenced for the crimes they deserved. To put it bluntly, they didn't commit crimes, they just lost.

This battle also thoroughly purged the Zhao family faction within the Han University clique. Zhao Zhongxin can use these people immediately! Gao Yuliang isn't just a student; he has many classmates too. In the second part of the novel, Gao Yuliang only stayed for half a year before his senior brother rescued him. These people will all side with Zhao Zhongxin because he gave Gao Yuliang a boost. He has resources, they have connections—this is a powerful alliance! This is also why Zhao Zhongxin values ​​his teachers; these people are generally mid-to-high-level, very useful! Politics is never a free lunch!
