Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

Liu Ming hung up the phone.

Outside the window, the wind rises.

The wind ruffled his hair.

He turned and looked at the top-secret document on his desk that had just been delivered, concerning the "purge of the remaining members of the Zhao family."

A cruel smile, chilling to the extreme, curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Zhao Ruihu, can you still touch your company seal now?"

Old Lin's roar was like an unstoppable divine thunderbolt, splitting open the layer of hypocritical gloom in the sky above the city.

There was no buffer.

There was no such thing as "decency" about it.

Zhao Weiguo, a "big leader" who had been a powerful figure in the city for decades, suffered a massive stroke on the night he was rejected and was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit of the 301 Hospital.

But he fell, and the reckoning had only just begun.

Two o'clock in the morning.

A convoy of black cars with special license plates silently surrounded Zhao Ruihu's upscale apartment located within the Third Ring Road.

The doorbell didn't ring; the door was forced open by a specially made ramming hammer.

When Zhao Ruihu woke up with a start, he only saw several men in plainclothes with cold faces standing in front of his bed. Before he could even pick up his phone from the bedside table, the cold handcuffs clicked shut on his wrists.

"Zhao Ruihu, come with us."

"Who are you? How dare you arrest me?" Zhao Ruihu struggled frantically, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

The discipline inspection officer leading the team sneered and flashed his badge.

It wasn't just Zhao Ruihu.

In the city's high-end clubs, upscale residential areas, and even some seemingly inconspicuous hidden spots.

Zhao Tai, along with other core members of the Zhao family and high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants who depended on the Zhao family, all faced the darkest moment of their lives at the same time.

The arrest operation was swift and decisive, like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Overnight, this top-tier wealthy family, which had dominated the city for decades and claimed to control "half the country," collapsed.

……

Its daybreak.

The news sent shockwaves through the city's political arena.

"Have you heard? The Zhao family is finished! Zhao Ruihu was taken away last night and interrogated overnight!"

"Holy crap! That was so sudden! The Zhao family has such a deep pocket, how could they just be wiped out like that?"

"Bullshit! They dared to sell core national technologies; we immediately issued a death order—absolutely no leniency!"

The atmosphere inside the National Development and Reform Commission building was extremely tense. Those section chiefs and clerks who had once flaunted Zhao Ruihu's power or secretly sided with him were all pale with fear, not daring to even breathe.

Pulling out the radish brings out the mud along with it.

The downfall of the Zhao family uncovered an astonishingly large network of vested interests.

Top-secret files were unearthed, and corrupt officials hiding in the shadows were brought into the light.

This was a true purge.

The leading figures of all the major powers in the city closed their doors to visitors. Those families who had originally planned to cause trouble for Liu Ming were so frightened that they quickly destroyed all documents that might leave any evidence against him.

They were scared.

They truly felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the will of the state.

And at the heart of this storm.

Liu Ming, however, sat quietly in her office like an outsider.

Sunlight streamed through the blinds, dappling the desk in front of him. On the desk lay the "Ten-Year Revitalization Plan for the National Semiconductor and High-End Manufacturing Industries," which had just been approved by the highest level of government.

"Director, the latest news."

Chen Momo pushed the door open and came in, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Zhao Ruihu confessed everything. The funds transferred overseas, as well as the email records of collusion with foreign capital, have all been verified. The higher-ups have determined it to be a serious crime, with a minimum sentence of life imprisonment."

Liu Ming picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and remained completely expressionless.

"understood."

He put down his teacup and gazed intently out the window.

Outside the window, the streets are bustling with traffic. This is an ancient yet vibrant city.

"It's just a stumbling block."

Liu Ming's voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable power.

"What stands in China's way is not only internal traitors like the Zhao family, but also many more powerful external enemies. Our journey has only just begun."

Chen Momo looked at Liu Ming.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that the light emanating from this young man, who was only a few years older than her, was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at him.

He wasn't seeking revenge.

He was in Qingdao.

For this country, for this land, let us clear away all obstacles to its revival.

……

This cleanup lasted for a full two weeks.

The city's political landscape underwent an unprecedented reshuffle. Corrupt and greedy forces were uprooted, and a group of young, capable, and responsible cadres were promoted to fill the vacancies.

And Liu Ming's name resounded throughout the entire capital city during this storm.

He not only stood unharmed at the very center of the storm.

His prestige reached an unprecedented level.

At the National Development and Reform Commission, no one dared to look at him with the same eyes that one would use to describe a "gilded youth."

When those veteran drivers met him, they would instinctively lower their posture and look at him with awe.

Among the second-generation rich kids in the city, there's a saying that's circulating:

"Better to offend the King of Hell than to offend Liu Ming."

Because when the King of Hell wants you dead, he'll at least look through the Book of Life and Death. But when Liu Ming wants you dead, he'll only show you a stack of irrefutable evidence enough to wipe out your entire family.

"Director Liu, the Commission Director requests your presence in his office."

A secretary respectfully knocked on Liu Ming's door.

Liu Ming stood up and straightened his suit.

he knows.

After cleaning up the trash, next...

It's time to get down to business.

It's time for that multi-billion dollar chip project to officially launch.
