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

So annoying!

They actually tried to fool him with the excuse of secrecy.

What other levels of secrecy exist in the entire Handong region? These are matters that he, as the provincial party secretary, cannot concern himself with.

Gerbilicide glared angrily.

But what met his eyes was a pair of bloodshot eyes, like those of a wolf that hadn't eaten for days and was still seeing blood, as if it might pounce on him and tear him apart at any moment.

My heart skipped a beat when I thought about the gerbil poison.

It was clearly the provincial government faction that caused this trouble, so why does he seem to harbor more resentment than I do?

"Governor Zhiyuan, you seem a bit feverish. Here, have a cup of chrysanthemum tea to cool down."

In a third of a second, Sha Ruijin smoothly completed the art of changing his expression, personally got up and brought over the chrysanthemum tea he had just brewed, placing it on the coffee table next to Lin Zhiyuan.

Yang Wanli and Shen Shanhe were dumbfounded, yet strangely felt that it made perfect sense.

"This is a serious matter, but we can't rush things."

The gerbil poison was used to calmly dissuade the user.

As for losing face…

Hi hi!

Anyway, there were no outsiders around, and the two people next to him were already used to him losing face.

Face is worthless!

But he still wants to try his best to protect the area under his buttocks.

"The matter is resolved."

"The other cases will proceed according to procedure."

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at the person in front of him with surprise, but then picked up the teacup and took a sip without changing his expression. The water was a little hot, but it was just right for the cold night at the end of December.

What?

Germaine was completely bewildered. What did he mean by "the matter is resolved"? But his brows quickly relaxed, and his tense expression finally eased. He looked at Shen Shanhe, who had returned with him, and asked, "Comrade Shanhe, who came down to inspect?"

He didn't dare ask Lin Zhiyuan, fearing that Lin Zhiyuan would think he was stupid for not understanding the meaning at all.

"Director Lin and I went to see Elder Shen."

Shen Shanhe didn't hide anything.

Mr. Shen?

It's understandable that this person came over, but it shouldn't have been this person!

The gerbil agent's gaze swept over again, but this time Shen Shanhe remained silent.

He only says half of what he means, what a nuisance.

Sha Ruijin frowned again and gestured to the two third wheels with his eyes. "I need to discuss some matters with Governor Zhiyuan. Comrade Wanli and Comrade Shanhe, please go back and rest first, and be ready to respond to any emergencies."

The two of them left.

Sha Ruijin's brow furrowed even more with frustration.

Now that Elder Shen has arrived secretly, and given his impulsive use of the First Political Commissar's name at the Standing Committee meeting, could Lin Zhiyuan's so-called solution be a way to push him out as a scapegoat?

Sha Ruijin thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more likely, after all, the people in the provincial government system have always had a low moral bottom line and are capable of doing anything.

The thought arose.

Sha Ruijin felt like he was sweating profusely in the winter night, as hot as a furnace, so hot.

"Secretary Sha, have you misunderstood something?"

Lin Zhiyuan spoke up.

He simply couldn't stand a man wriggling and slithering around in front of him like a maggot.

"From the moment I entered the system and took charge of a region, I have taken responsibility and challenged my superiors, but I have never shifted the blame for anything that went wrong onto a single comrade."

Lin Zhiyuan stated bluntly, "The policies, plans, and implementation of actions in a region have always been decisions made jointly by a team."

"You and Governor Liu were willing to sign and submit the report. One of you went to the front line to reassure people, while the other stayed at the provincial party committee and government to coordinate the overall situation. Regardless of whether the final outcome was good or bad, you did what you were supposed to do."

"And I..."

"We did what we were supposed to do."

Sha Ruijin was initially furious when he heard Lin Zhiyuan talk about kicking a superior in front of his own class monitor, but he became more and more shocked as the conversation progressed. He could actually hear a hint of satisfaction in Lin Zhiyuan's words regarding his decision and actions.

"Secretary Sha, my likes and dislikes are very simple."

"Treat comrades, superiors, and subordinates equally. Praise those who do well and scold those who do poorly. If they don't listen after being scolded, scold them again. If they still don't change after being scolded again, kick them out."

"Perhaps Secretary Sha has never worked with a comrade like me, but I can tell you frankly that my quality is notoriously low within the organization."

"so…"

"When I'm not polite enough to you, please reflect on your own behavior."

Sha Ruijin almost lost his composure. The inexplicable relief and smugness he had just felt vanished completely. Damn it, could this really be what a vice squad leader's assistant said to the squad leader!

What does it mean to reflect on oneself when one's attitude is bad? Does that mean you, Lin Zhiyuan, are never wrong?

If you're so capable, then get rid of your father-in-law.

Say that to me again!

But then again, did Lin Zhiyuan mean that he didn't push him out to take the fall?

"Governor Zhiyuan, what kind of solution are you talking about...?"

Sha Ruijin suppressed the agitation in his heart. The most important thing right now was to find out what Lin Zhiyuan was thinking.

I've figured this out.

Only then will we know how to handle this matter satisfactorily and how to give our superiors a satisfactory response!

"Secretary Sha, do you know what the greatest significance of Tianshan Capital's existence is?"

Lin Zhiyuan didn't answer but asked a question instead.

Sha Ruijin was stunned again. He had never thought about this question before, but countless answers could have come out of his mouth. In the end, he swallowed them back.

The Qin family alliance dared to be the main force in overthrowing Zhao, and was a prominent figure in the capital. Naturally, they also knew some of the inner workings of Tianshan Capital.

"Governor Zhiyuan, you..."

Sha Ruijin remained silent for a long time, then, as if he had just realized something, his eyes widened in shock.

"I also lost another project that generates at least 30 billion yuan in revenue every year."

Lin Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, the red light in his eyes growing stronger. "The 1200 billion frozen by major banks is nothing. The current scope of involvement is far from enough."

"you want…"

Sha Ruijin suddenly felt a little scared; even if he were sold, he wouldn't get a fraction of the 30 billion.

"Heh heh, skinning and dismembering them!"

Handong, Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

"Comrade Lin Zhengxin, please come with us!"

Lü Liang personally led a team to block the people in the office of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, where a signed investigation order was laid out in front of them.

"Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lü, what matter have I gotten myself into?"

Lin Zhengxin's pale face, framed by thick glasses, revealed a hint of innocence and grievance. "I've only been at the Political and Legal Affairs Commission for a month, and I'm just a junior staff member. I really haven't done anything wrong!"

"By the way, I was recommended by Secretary Gao."

"I'm here to help Secretary Gao with some policy research. Does Secretary Gao know you're investigating me?"

Lin Zhengxin appeared aggrieved, yet he also tried to use the banner as a shield, as if he were a wronged character struggling in the dark.

"Secretary Gao..."

Lü Liang chuckled inexplicably. "To correct you, the current Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission is Secretary Lin."

"Look at the investigation warrant carefully again."

"It was personally signed by Chief Prosecutor Zhang, and Secretary Lin nodded in approval."

"They still want to put up a last-ditch resistance."

"You really think we can't find out about your past?"

"Don't worry, when you get to the procuratorate, Professor Wu Huifen should be there too, so you won't be alone."
