In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"Governor Zhiyuan, please continue."

After venting his anger with the rat poison, he finally calmed down. Leaning back in his chair, he tapped the table with his fingers and said coldly.

"Comrade Anhu's current situation makes Comrade Tongwei and me even more cautious in our investigation."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded and continued:

"Until the last bidding for the subway demolition project in the old town of Jingzhou, Gu Beilou was caught for bid rigging."

Lin Zhiyuan directly omitted the real trigger, Ouyang Jing's accusations, since Ouyang Jing's matter was in the past, but it was still not honorable.

Sha Ruijin finally nodded.

He learned what happened next: Gu Beilou had led to the discovery of overseas accounts and offshore funds, which in turn exposed the Chen family members who had received money from Gu Beilou and a corruption case.

This led to the provincial economic investigation department and Hou Liangping, whom he dispatched, secretly entering Jingzhou.

"So what's the situation now?"

Sha Ruijin continued to ask.

"Subsequently, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government dispatched three teams to Chuzhou: the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Economic Investigation Corps, and Comrade Hou Liangping from the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

Lin Zhiyuan continued.

and many more!

When did the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection arrive?

Germ rat poison stared wide-eyed at Tian Guofu in disbelief.

What are you looking at me for! Look at Lin Zhiyuan's report!

Tian Guofu spat out the tea leaves in his mouth and said slowly, "The Discipline Inspection Commission has the responsibility to supervise, investigate, and deal with cadres who violate discipline and regulations."

"Such a big incident in Chuzhou, it's reasonable for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to send an investigation team, isn't it?"

You bastard Tian Guofu!

I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you still dare to do things behind my back, without telling me, the class monitor.

They hate gerbil poison with a passion.

I'll definitely sacrifice you someday!

Tian Guofu curled his lip in disdain. "What? You want to avenge your Ya Ya?"

Look at how clumsy I am with words.

Ya Ya belongs to the Yi family, not your Sha family.

If you want to avenge someone, you're just a nobody with no connections, lol!

I'll make you so angry!

Lin Zhiyuan mimicked Governor Liu's tactical cough to recapture everyone's attention:

"Comrade Qin Zhuofeng, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, led a special investigation team to the Chuzhou Municipal Government to conduct a comprehensive investigation of all bidding documents in Chuzhou over the past ten years. They successfully seized irrefutable evidence of another bid-rigging case involving the Chen Group and arrested the main responsible persons, Chen Qunyang and Chen Qunshan, thus successfully firing the first shot in uncovering the corruption in Chuzhou."

"Comrade Hou Liangping, the director of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, went straight to the point. After discovering that Chuzhou's business sector implemented a hierarchical distribution system, he relentlessly pursued this line of business, contacting contractors such as Zhang Abiao and Fei Wuji. He eventually apprehended Zhou Shifang, an important business partner in the Chen family system and chairman of Hengxin Pharmaceutical. After Zhou Shifang was arrested for attempted murder, he revealed some of the Chen family's overseas accounts."

"Meanwhile, Xie Huai'an of the Economic Investigation Corps, along with Li Weimin and other comrades from the Chuzhou Municipal Bureau who were in charge of maintaining the integrity of the operation, worked with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and other officials to uncover a series of overseas accounts from Chen family members, including three generations of Chen family members, who were attempting to flee overseas through special channels, as well as Chen family henchmen such as An Lai from the district government."

"And successfully located the overseas accounts controlled by Yu Xiqu, one of Chen Guohua's adopted sons and chairman of the Western Ship Group, which had records of receiving distributions of benefits to the entire Chen family. Xie Huai'an reported by phone that Comrade Li Weimin had led a team to arrest all the second and third generations of the Chen family and brought them to justice. Except for a few who were overseas and had not returned, none were missed."

"Currently, only Chen Guohua remains in the Chen family."

As Lin Zhiyuan's voice fell, all the standing committee members present looked at each other in bewilderment, even those who had been furious about the rat poison twitched in surprise.

The efficiency and methods of these three or four people working together on the case are far too high.

Chen Guohua's rank is too low to handle this matter. You guys just left him all alone and arrested everyone else. Is that right?

Is the evidence of a crime conclusive?

Sha Ruijin said, forcing himself to speak.

"Absolutely certain."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded.

"Comrade Guofu, it's been half a month since Handong reported Chen Guohua's case. Has the higher-level discipline inspection commission given a response yet?"

Sha Ruijin asked again.

"The higher-level discipline inspection commission replied that they have assigned special personnel to handle the investigation. I am not aware of anything else at this time."

Tian Guofu shrugged, not even glancing at his once beloved rat poison, but instead staring resentfully at Lin Zhiyuan.

Hey, it's agreed that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will take the lion's share.

As a result, both the Economic Crime Investigation Team and Hou Liangping performed so brilliantly, how can one person enjoy all the credit? And why did you mention Comrade Qin Zhuofeng first? Are you trying to use me as a scapegoat again?

Upon receiving the look in his eyes, Lin Zhiyuan avoided the other person's gaze for the first time.

The credit should be distributed in a 40/30/30 ratio.

Who dares to say that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection did not deserve the most credit? Didn't everyone say that the discipline inspection team fired the first shot in launching a major anti-corruption case?

Dudu!

Lin Zhiyuan coughed again, took out his phone, and dialed a number in front of all the Standing Committee members.

It rang for about ten seconds before being answered.

"Hey, Team Leader Xu, have you arrived in Chuzhou yet?"

Lin Zhiyuan got straight to the point.

But a roar soon came from the phone, loud enough for everyone in the conference room to hear: "Lin Zhiyuan, what exactly is Hou Liangping doing? Was his operation orchestrated by you, by your Handong Provincial Committee?!"

"Lin Zhiyuan, I'm telling you!"

"Now that this has happened, I will definitely go to Secretary Shen and complain about you."

The call was immediately disconnected.

Not to mention the other bewildered attendees, Lin Zhiyuan was completely stunned.

Hou Liangping?

You mischievous monkey!

Wasn't that monkey investigating a case? What kind of trouble has he gotten into now?

Buzz!

The phone kept vibrating. Following the sound, I saw Qi Tongwei, looking embarrassed and at a loss for what to do with his phone.

"A call from Comrade Huai'an."

Qi Tongwei reported.

"Catch it! Catch it right here."

Lin Zhiyuan issued instructions.

"Yes, Executive Director Lin."

Qi Tongwei immediately turned on the speakerphone, and Xie Huai'an's voice rang out, "Director Qi, something terrible has happened."

"We split up and acted according to plan."

"Comrade Hou Liangping insisted on going to the Municipal Procuratorate. Secretary Qin, Comrade Weimin, and I couldn't persuade him otherwise, so we assigned him a team of officers."

"But something happened inside the city procuratorate."

"A firefight suddenly broke out."

"When Comrade Weimin arrived, Hou Liangping had already been shot in the chest and was lying in a pool of blood. He is currently being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment."

"The officers assigned to the area were stationed outside the compound and were unaware of what had happened."

"But the one who fired the shot was Lin Zhengde, the deputy chief prosecutor of the municipal procuratorate. Lin Zhengde has now been caught on the spot."

"However, a large number of people from the Municipal Procuratorate and the Municipal Court have absconded."

"in addition…"

Xie Huai'an's voice suddenly tightened as he reported, filled with a sense of unease and pain: "Ten minutes ago, the police officers responsible for secretly protecting Jiang Anhu, the municipal party secretary, discovered that he had died at home."

"Confirmed by preliminary autopsy investigation."

"Homicide has been ruled out."

He died by suicide.
