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

The Hao County Party Committee and County Government Building.

The rat poison is raging, spraying saliva everywhere, and is tearing Yang Wanli, Li Weimin of the Municipal Bureau, Tang He, Secretary of the Hao County Party Committee, Liu Fushan, County Mayor, and Xiang Tianya of the County Bureau apart.

"Is your Hao County's security maintenance just a bunch of idiots?"

Sha Ruijin's rebuke was entirely unrepeated: "If even the official car of a vice-governor can be attacked by terrorists on the national highway leading into the city, where is the safety of ordinary people? Aren't you afraid of yourselves or your families having an accident when passing through that intersection!"

"Pre-plant the explosives! What if ordinary people happen to pass through the blast zone beforehand? Tell me what to do!"

"Also, Hao County is quite prosperous!"

"There are a dozen or so cameras densely packed on each traffic pole along both sides of the road, but which ones are actually usable? Or is it a selective system where only the most powerful cameras are used? Are they only used when issuing tickets? And when something happens, oh, they automatically break down? The surveillance footage can't be viewed, and there are no backups."

"Okay, we won't talk about that either."

"What about the follow-up investigation? Qingyuan Company has been shut down now, where's the murderer? Where's the evidence? Not a single thing has been found. Do you even deserve the clothes you wear?"

"He's useless at everything!"

"What are you still doing here? You wouldn't even get a share selling sweet potatoes back home!"

"Because of your pig brains, all you can do is roast perfectly good sweet potatoes into black charcoal."

Yang Wanli watched as the rebellious sons of Hao County bowed their heads and accepted the scolding, and for some reason, he felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

But noticing the crimson gaze fixed on him, he quickly lowered his head.

"Say something!"

Enraged, Gerani put his hands on his hips, grabbed a document from the table, and threw it at Yang Wanli. "Secretary Wanli, aren't you usually quite eloquent in the Standing Committee meetings?"

"Now that such a terrible thing has happened in Hao County under your jurisdiction, you've turned a deaf ear?"

"Secretary Sha is right to criticize."

Yang Wanli straightened his back and said in self-criticism, "There are indeed cases of dereliction of duty in maintaining public order in some areas of Luzhou. The failure to improve the situation over a long period of time has led to the current disastrous consequences."

This statement came out.

The eyes of the three rebellious sons of Hao County turned red, but they lowered their heads deeply. They admitted their mistake and could not shirk their responsibility.

"but…"

Yang Wanli then changed the subject, "I just received a message from Governor Liu and Standing Committee Member Fang that the mastermind behind this incident may be some hidden members of the Lin family who have fled. Of course, since the incident occurred in Luzhou, there must be locals contacting, cooperating with, and carrying it out."

"Who?"

Sha Ruijin's temples throbbed. That's the downside of dealing with powerful families; you can't arrest them all. Those you can arrest and investigate in the first instance are all those in the open.

"Lin Zhengxin!"

Yang Wanli revealed a name: "According to seniority, he is Lin Zhengfa and Lin Zhengde's cousin, an illegitimate son of the Lin family."

"Based on the existing clues, Lin Zhengxin is 34 years old this year. He is a lecturer in the Department of Political Science and Law at Wuhan University. He has been repeatedly promoted to associate professor but failed. A month ago, Secretary Yu Liang promoted him to the office of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission as a staff member through an internal staffing quota.

Ok?

Sha Ruijin frowned deeply. "A mere clerk has such great abilities? Secretary Wanli, you don't mean to..."

"Secretary Sha, I didn't mean that."

Yang Wanli waved his hand repeatedly, "But according to the clues that Standing Committee Member Fang and the others found, this Lin Zhengxin has a long-term improper relationship with Wu Huifen, the ex-wife of Secretary Yuliang. And Wu Huifen lives with Secretary Yuliang, so it is possible that she learned some information about Governor Tianhen through this relationship."

Ex-wife? What the hell!

Sha Ruijin was stunned, as if he had just heard a shocking piece of gossip. Wasn't that seemingly upright and noble professor also having such a messy private life?

Hi hi!

Facing the shocked gazes of the group of people in the office, Yang Wanli coughed a few times as if to indicate his surprise and continued, "Actually, none of us current Standing Committee members, including Governor Liu and even Secretary Dakang, Secretary Yuliang's old friend, knew about this. It was a senior figure from Handong who told us."

"Six years ago, before Secretary Yuliang was transferred from Secretary of the Lüzhou Municipal Party Committee to Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he applied for a divorce."

"According to senior members, the organizational file states that the impact of the provincial party committee members' private lives on the situation in Handong should be minimized as much as possible. The signature of former Party Secretary Zhao Lichun was also recognized by the higher-level organizational department."

Germ Rat Agent was stunned. If he remembered correctly, Gao Yuliang's only daughter was in the United States, so wouldn't Gao Yuliang be a naked official? How could a naked official be allowed!

"Well, Secretary Yuliang remarried soon after his divorce, although he got his marriage certificate abroad."

Yang Wanli seemed to sense his confusion and took the initiative to explain, "My newlywed wife and son live in the capital and the port city for a long time, and are not in Handong."

Oh…

Sha Ruijin nodded. No, that seems to have gone off-topic.

"Then why is Wu Huifen still living with Secretary Yuliang? Divorced but still living together, this is extremely bad for us organizational cadres, especially for a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee."

Sha Ruijin rebuked, "This incident is yet another bloody lesson."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Yang Wanli responded repeatedly, "When the procuratorate and the discipline inspection commission took Lin Zhengxin away, they questioned Secretary Yuliang as usual. He said that he was in poor health and needed to control his intake of oil and sugar, so he hired Wu Huifen as a live-in nanny to take care of his daily life. However, the two had a simple employment relationship and there was no overstepping of boundaries. Wu Huifen did not participate in or enter the study or office for conversations."

Live-in nanny?

Ha ha!

Sha Ruijin sighed inwardly, thinking how many fallacies the professor had, and how he was good at these deceptive practices.

"Has Wu Huifen taken control?"

Sha Ruijin then asked.

"They were taken to the provincial procuratorate together."

Yang Wanli nodded, but his brows were furrowed. "These two, especially Wu Huifen, are very difficult to deal with. We haven't gotten any useful information from them yet."

"check!"

Sha Ruijin has only one attitude.

"Governor Zhiyuan hasn't arrived yet?"

Sha Ruijin seemed to remember something and turned around to ask. If he remembered correctly, Lin Zhiyuan had only come out half an hour later than him.

They should have arrived much earlier.

Sha Ruijin felt he was being paranoid; he panicked when he saw Lin Zhiyuan, and even more so when he couldn't see him, fearing that Lin Zhiyuan might be up to something sneaky again.

Behave yourself!

Handong's sky is about to collapse.

"Forehead…"

Yang Wanli hesitated before replying, "Executive Director Lin went directly to the hospital to check on Governor Tianhen's condition and treatment plan, and also inquired about the driver, Comrade Li Shan's, situation."

"later…"

"I really don't know where Executive Director Lin went after leaving the hospital."

"No schedule has been sent."

really!

Sha Ruijin rubbed his throbbing temples; a bad premonition was creeping in again.

Ok?

No! No! No!

It seems that Lin Zhiyuan is missing, but where did such a big guy as Shen Shanhe go?
