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

Dong Qing has been a little panicked lately.

Especially after the Chuzhou case broke out, it felt like an eternity. The downfall of both the Yao and Lin families and the expulsion from the Party and public office of Lin Zhengfa, the executive deputy chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate, were heavy blows.

But the actual pressure came sooner.

After Gu Beilou was taken away in public by the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, he noticed something amiss. The Tax Bureau, the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and the Fire Brigade began to patronize Linzhong Technology in turn, and all the connections he had built up by relying on his wife's family were no longer effective.

The team was led by Qiu Tianhen, the vice governor in charge of political and legal affairs and the supervisory department.

Nobody wants to be targeted by the supervisory department.

However, Qiu Tianhen's attitude was very strange. He only conducted routine investigations and did not leave any in-depth clues. He was like a death row inmate waiting for the executioner's blade to fall.

In a state of constant anxiety!

Dong Qing realized then that the company's business might be under surveillance, but he dared not make a move, especially at this time. As the son-in-law of the Lin family, he knew all too well that someone was secretly watching him all the time.

His willingness to run away is irrefutable proof that he walked right into a trap.

Seeing that Qiu Tianhen had not taken any actual action.

He felt a sense of侥幸 (a lucky break), after all, there are currently no relevant laws and regulations for P2P in China, it is a complete blank area, and it is so popular now, which means that the provincial government does not have solid evidence to take action against him for the time being.

Therefore, they can only resort to such disgusting methods to disrupt the company's normal operations.

Dong Qing even felt somewhat wronged.

Compared to other companies that ruthlessly raise social funds, he is incredibly conscientious. He always invests real money into the fund, keeping it within the margin of risk, and he delivers the promised investment returns in a very real way. He even personally borrows money from major banks to cover any shortfall.

The provincial Party committee and government of Handong would be ignorant not to award him one of the province's top ten outstanding entrepreneurs.

Just that is speculation.

He dared not relax for a moment, constantly sending people to monitor the situation in Jingzhou. Sure enough, Qiu Tianhen was not only taking action against him, but also against other similar companies, and even targeting another group of people, professional debt collectors.

Dong Qing panicked completely.

Only a small portion of the funds raised by the company are invested in legitimate funds, and the returns are far too meager compared to the promises made to investors. Naturally, with money in hand, they would choose some high-yield projects, such as online lending.

Nine out, thirteen back, like making a video.

It's like interest compounding on interest.

The largest customer group for professional debt collectors is online lending operators. Their companies keep impeccable accounts, but that's not necessarily the case for those small, struggling online lending companies.

At this point in time.

Qiu Tianhen, who was in charge of the investigation, suddenly left Jingzhou. Based on the clues obtained, it is speculated that his next stop is likely to be Hao County, Lüzhou.

Hao County…

When Dong Qing received this news, he almost fell to the ground. Hao County was where he made his fortune and his true core. The reason why Jingzhou's accounts were so clean was because all the filth was left in Hao County.

As the earliest and best-performing P2P platform operator in Handong, he learned from the development experience of his counterparts in Shanghai and Beijing in his early years in Haoxian County. He was well aware that this bubble would burst sooner or later, so he fully sought legal interpretation from his wife's family and split the business into two parts.

The head office in Jingzhou, the provincial capital, is always glamorous thanks to the strong support of Mayor Wu Xiongfei, but the truly profitable, less respectable parts of the business never leave Haoxian County.

First, his wife's family, who were well-versed in the company's inner workings, were arrested, and then Qiu Tianhen personally went to Hao County to investigate the case. Dong Qing was completely panicked.

Thank goodness... thank goodness...

There is always a way out!

Because of Qiu Tianhen's departure, the relevant investigation units relaxed their routine checks on him and the company that same day. Taking advantage of this respite, Dong Qing immediately sent his confidants to contact a group of relevant individuals for consultation.

The Provincial Party Committee Building.

"Secretary Sha!"

Tian Guofu smiled broadly at Sha Ruijin, who seemed to harbor deep resentment and wished he could tear him apart, showing no trace of the fury he had displayed just two days prior. "I am well aware that this proposal has many problems, but as you know, I have been working in the discipline inspection system for many years and lack sufficient understanding of the implementation of administrative practices. Therefore, I have come here specifically to ask for your guidance and correction."

"After all, you are a veteran of discipline inspection, have rich experience in organizational and government work, and are the leader of our Handong team. No one is more suitable than you."

Tian Guofu spared no effort in praising it, exaggerating the benefits of the rat poison to the extreme, comparing it to the sun and moon in the sky.

"From proposal to implementation, we still need to take the provincial government's opinions into account more."

Sha Ruijin forced a smile, but he couldn't even manage a basic one.

May you live a life of virtue and prosperity!

I want him to die all the time, the real kind of death.

Why does a perfectly good proposal have to go to such extremes? Can't it be done step by step? It could easily become a sharp knife for him to eliminate the remnants of the Zhao faction and suppress the provincial government faction.

But now…

Germ Rat Agent felt that he would be wrong to say even one more word, because Tian Guofu would definitely drag him into it and publicize it as his suggestion.

At that time, my broken body, as fragile as a candle in the wind, will surely be reduced to ashes.

"Ahem!"

Tian Guofu coughed lightly and cleared his throat. "Governor Liu went to the park to inspect the work again. As for Executive Director Lin... he said he doesn't have enough organizational and disciplinary experience."

Oh, I got it!

Lin Zhiyuan, that Gou Dongxi, sent Tian Guofu over. No, that's not right. Sand Rat Agent slowly raised his head and glanced at the smiling tiger opposite him. This guy wasn't satisfied with dragging Lin Zhiyuan down with him; he wanted to drag him down with him too.

Meow!

Tian Guofu, you're truly fearless now, aren't you?

Do you still want to stay in Handong?

Of course, Lin Zhiyuan is no good either. It's true that Tian Guofu dragged others down with him, and it's also highly likely that Lin Zhiyuan shifted the blame elsewhere.

boom!

The office door was pushed open.

Sha Ruijin looked up in annoyance, about to scold Xiaobai for being ignorant, but what he saw was Tong Li with a pale face.

"Secretary Sha!"

Tong Li, disregarding Tian Guofu's presence, hurriedly reported, "Vice Governor Qiu Tianhen of the Provincial Government was rear-ended by a truck on the highway leading into Hao County, Lüzhou. News from the scene indicates it was a malicious attack, and an explosion occurred afterward."

What!

Sha Ruijin jumped up, the chair creaking, his face equally pale, without a trace of blood.

A malicious attack on a provincial vice governor?!

Sha Ruijin was incredulous, repeating the question to himself, "Is Comrade Tianhen in mortal danger? What caused the incident?"

"Governor Qiu's condition is unknown; he has been taken to the nearest hospital."

Tong Li shook his head and said, "But the cause seems to be related to a case that Governor Qiu has been investigating recently. Secretary Yang has arrived at the scene, and Standing Committee Member Shen has also rushed over."

"Get the car ready!"

"Go to Hao County."

Sha Ruijin really didn't want to get himself involved in such a dangerous situation, but thinking of Chuzhou, he gritted his teeth and gave the order.

The forgotten Tian Guofu picked up the thick stack of proposal documents on the table, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. "Old Chou, oh Old Chou, I risked my life to hold off Secretary Sha and Executive Director Lin for you. Remember my kindness!"

"You're ruthless enough."
