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

The next morning.

Qi Tongwei called and gave a brief report on the arrest:

He led the provincial armed police detachment, the municipal bureau, and officers drawn from surrounding areas to set up checkpoints on roads leading to Liancheng and other places, and imposed a complete traffic lockdown.

Most of the criminal suspects were arrested on the border between Chuzhou and Liancheng. Liancheng and Xianzhou set up surveillance along the coastline overnight and also caught another group of people who wanted to smuggle themselves across the border in unlicensed small boats and cooperate with the Western Boat Group to escape on private yachts in international waters.

The last person apprehended attempted to travel inland to Yunnan Province and other areas, where they were also detained by local police.

With this, the chaos in Chuzhou came to a complete end.

However, the first guest Lin Zhiyuan greeted was not from the municipal party committee or government, nor from the province, but Xu Changhe.

"Lin Zhiyuan, tell me, can't you give Handong some peace and quiet?"

Xu Changhe, his face flushed and neck thick with frustration, tugged at his tie. What kind of good person would directly target an entire city like that?

In particular, the judicial and municipal systems have almost collapsed.

"What makes you say that, Team Leader Xu?"

Lin Zhiyuan spread his hands, his tone quite innocent, "The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau were in charge of the investigation of this case. The Provincial Department could only be considered as coordinating and cooperating."

"Besides, didn't I come to Chuzhou to maintain my work?"

Ah!

Xu Changhe was so angry he laughed.

So he'll have to go and cause trouble for Sha Ruijin, right?

Ah!

Do you really think the investigation team can't find more than a year's worth of investigation records from the provincial department and the work arrangements made after your arrival?

Qi Tongwei lived a cowardly life, but without Lin Zhiyuan's support, he wouldn't have dared to attack Chuzhou.

"Or does Team Leader Xu think that Comrade Qin Zhuofeng and Comrade Hou Liangping's investigation was incorrect?"

Lin Zhiyuan said quietly.

Hearing this, Xu Changhe broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, someone dug a pit for him without him noticing, didn't they? And right in front of him?

"Zhiyuan, can we keep things quiet? Investigating collective corruption is urgent, but we also need to be mindful of the social impact."

Xu Changhe took the initiative to put his arm around her shoulder and spoke softly.

or…

Give him a heads-up!

Lin Zhiyuan shrugged. "I've already passed the initial shock. This Chuzhou is just an appetizer. If we bring in the big boss right away, I'm afraid you, old man, won't be able to handle it, both physically and mentally. Let's take it one step at a time, okay?"

Aren't you going to say thank you yet?!

"It happened so suddenly."

Lin Zhiyuan embraced his former leader with great affection, saying, "As you know, when the investigation into the Chuzhou case began, I was on a business trip across the ocean."

"I don't know the details!"

"Besides, once Secretary Sha and the entire team have made a decision, it's not appropriate for me to stop or overturn it."

Lin Zhiyuan cried out.

Row!

Lin family brat, you're ruthless. Sha Ruijin was going to take the blame for you, Tian Guofu and the Zhong family were going to take the blame for you, and now you're not even letting your own people off the hook, dragging them out as firewalls as well.

Enough!

"Although there were reasons for this, the actions taken by the Handong leadership this time were too rash. I will have a good talk with Comrade Sha Ruijin and Comrade Gao Yuliang, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, in my capacity as the head of the inspection team and the head of the special investigation team led by Chen Guohua."

"Similarly, I will take Chen Guohua directly to Beijing for a special investigation and review."

Xu Changhe came and went in a hurry.

But the meaning is clear:

Ah!

If I can't outmaneuver you, then I'll have your superiors come and talk to you.

Ugh! How stingy.

Less than five minutes.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the caller ID on his phone and sighed deeply. "Secretary Lü, this is Lin Zhiyuan."

"Kobayashi, you've really done a great job."

Secretary Lü's attitude was not very friendly. "My phone has been ringing off the hook since last night."

"Hmph, Seventh Brother said you were sensible."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and stood tall, showing no signs of fatigue from not sleeping all night. He seemed to want to give the other party an impeccable feeling over the phone. His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "Secretary Lü, serious cases should be dealt with severely."

Remove the title.

These six short words convey a resolute attitude.

"Besides, this is also a timely correction of mistakes, don't you think, Secretary Lü?"

No reply is needed.

Lin Zhiyuan added another sentence.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The person on the other end of the phone practically said "good" three times in a row, and you could feel the anger in their voice even across thousands of miles.

Whose fault was it to promptly correct the mistakes? And who allowed Chen Guohua to abuse his influence?

"It seems that Secretary Lü also approves of the approach taken by the Handong leadership."

Lin Zhiyuan's smile widened. "The arrest operation in Chuzhou is complete. All those except those overseas have been apprehended. We will expedite the interrogation and investigation, compile the case details, and ensure the chain of evidence is complete. Comrade Tian Guofu from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will submit the full report to Secretary Lü and Team Leader Xu for review."

"Lin Zhiyuan! Hehe, keep up the good work!"

Secretary Lü hung up the phone immediately.

Hey!

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head.

They're so hard to please.

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head, looked at the chicken soup and white porridge he was carrying, and pushed open the door to the ward.

The door opened.

Hou Liangping stared at him with eyes wide open, like copper bells.

"Did you hear that?"

Lin Zhiyuan asked casually.

"Um."

Hou Liangping nodded. In their line of work, the most important thing is to be sharp-eyed and quick-witted. He sincerely gave a thumbs up, "Executive Lin, you're really brave!"

Who is Director Lü?

His daughter's boss is the head of the Supervision Department, who can be said to be an all-seeing eye that can openly monitor Lin Zhiyuan's every move and every transaction.

But what about Lin Zhiyuan?

You offended them without warning.

"It's not a good thing, but you can do it if you're brave enough."

Lin Zhiyuan said casually.

"No, I don't have the guts."

Hou Liangping shook his head firmly.

Are you hungry?

Lin Zhiyuan didn't pay attention. "I asked the doctor, and he said I could drink some clear chicken soup, supplemented with a small amount of soft porridge. If there are no adverse reactions, I can increase the amount."

But we haven't had a chance to feed them yet.

The phone rang again. Oh, this time it was an old acquaintance.

"Mr. Wang!"

Lin Zhiyuan walked to the window and stood up straight; after all, one should stand at attention when being beaten.

"You caused trouble... I won't say anything about that for now, and we can let bygones be bygones about your confrontation with Xiao Lü."

"I know you have low manners."

Mr. Wang's helpless voice came through, "Can't you at least show some respect to Comrade Xu Changhe? He even called me crying about it."

"Isn't it respectful enough to use the word 'you' first, answer every question, and respond to every inquiry?"

Lin Zhiyuan scratched the back of his head, looking confused as he asked.

"Is this what I was talking about?"

Mr. Wang roared, like a shrew from Hedong.

"Mr. Wang, the report on the ecological restoration solution for Chuzhou and the latest version of the Chuzhou development plan were sent to you through the internal system fifteen minutes ago."

Lin Zhiyuan quickly replied, "Take a look when you have time."

A report? And a double one!

"Lin Zhiyuan, don't think this trick will work every time!"

Mr. Wang snorted coldly, "Don't hang up the phone. I'll teach you a lesson after I finish reading the report."
