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

Jingle Bell!

Lin Zhiyuan was reviewing documents at his desk when the landline on his desk rang. "Governor Zhiyuan, please come to the Provincial Party Committee's Conference Room No. 1 with Governor Liu."

"Okay, Secretary Sha."

Lin Zhiyuan got up and went to the provincial party committee building next door with Liu Changsheng, who had received the notification earlier.

At the entrance of Conference Room 1.

Tian Guofu had been waiting for a long time, holding a few documents in his hands, but his whole being exuded a chilling sharpness, as if he was about to sharpen his knife and slaughter the pigs and sheep.

The three had just greeted each other when a series of footsteps sounded behind them, led by Sha Ruijin and Xu Changhe, who were walking side by side.

The two were clearly having a good chat, laughing and joking.

snort!

But the moment Xu Changhe saw Lin Zhiyuan, he once again demonstrated the skill of a veteran intangible cultural heritage artist, his smile vanishing completely and replaced by coldness.

Seeing this troublemaker now is so annoying, even more so than when I was forced to leave the Han River.

awkward!

"Please don't stand here, everyone. Secretary Yuliang has been waiting for us for a long time."

"Let's get started as soon as possible."

Sha Ruijin looked at the group of people. He was even more annoyed than Xu Changhe. There were two annoying people around.

The sooner you start, the sooner you finish!

Even glancing at Lin Zhiyuan and Tian Guofu for too long makes one feel like they're going to die young.

Conference Room No. 1 is not large.

Normally used for meetings of three-person and five-person groups, it has now become an alternative interrogation room.

Gao Zhiwu sat alone on one side of the table, while at the other end of the table, the four provincial party committee standing committee members plus the head of the inspection team were of extremely high caliber.

"Secretary Yuliang, on behalf of the organization, I am conducting an internal interview regarding your ex-wife, nanny Wu Huifen, regarding her theft and leakage of classified documents from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Is there anything you don't understand?"

Sha Ruijin spoke in a deep voice, beginning to follow the procedure.

"no."

Gao Yuliang maintained a gentle smile throughout, seemingly not panicking and facing the situation calmly.

Snapped!

Tian Guofu threw the documents and notebook in his hand onto the table and launched the first attack, "In my opinion, there is no need to have this internal talk at all. The problem with Secretary Gao Yuliang is not this theft and leak of secrets, but that he is fundamentally disloyal and dishonest to the organization. He relies on his background as a professor of political science and law and his expertise in Ming history to arbitrarily distort the basis of legal interpretation and has been walking in the gray area of ​​laws and regulations for many years."

There's an old saying that goes, "If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

"The occurrence of Wu Huifen's case is not due to any negligence or dereliction of duty, nor is it accidental. Rather, it is the inevitable result of her long-term deviation from principles and bottom lines."

"For such bad elements lurking within the organization."

"What we need to do is not an internal talk aimed at learning from past mistakes and curing the disease to save the patient, but to immediately conduct a full investigation into Gao Yuliang, improve the relevant chain of evidence, and expel him from the organization."

"The only remaining organizational value of Gao Yuliang is to produce a series of disciplinary education films based on his situation and case, so that other cadres in the organization can learn from his mistakes and take him as a warning, and always remind themselves not to cross the red line."

"Crossing the red line will surely lead to a fall into the abyss; violating the law will inevitably result in being held accountable."

"The net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it."

Tian Guofu slammed his fist on the table, glaring at Gao Yuliang and the four people in the same row. "These words are for Secretary Gao, and also for everyone here."

Xu Changhe clutched his forehead in anguish.

Is this still a normal internal discussion process? Lin Zhiyuan, that little brat, hasn't said a word, so why is everything still in chaos!

Tian Guofu's reputation...

He had heard of it.

The secretary, whose name was known throughout Handong and even the capital, suddenly had an epiphany and opened the gates of heaven to supervise the entire Handong Provincial Party Committee, with an unprecedented level of supervision at the same level.

I never expected it to be this fierce!

In an internal talk about reformation, the process had barely begun when he started to send the person straight to the underworld.

Cough!

Germ Rat Agent felt he still needed to control the situation, especially since Xu Changhe was still there. He said, "Secretary Guofu, the topic of this discussion is Wu Huifen's theft and leaking of secrets. Let's not talk about anything unrelated to the main topic, and especially not about anything without evidence. That would have a bad influence."

"No!"

Tian Guofu, however, showed no respect for the rat poison even in front of outsiders, saying, "Secretary Sha, you are also a veteran of the Discipline Inspection Commission, but I'm afraid you've forgotten some things after being away from the discipline inspection system for so long."

"When the Discipline Inspection Commission investigates a case, it should not only investigate the course and outcome of the case, but also the reasons and true origins of the case."

"What I just said is the root cause of Secretary Gao's repeated mistakes, because he has always been a treacherous element disguised as an organization and a professor."

"at the same time…"

Tian Guofu picked up the documents thrown in front of him again and corrected, "As the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Handong Province, I naturally know the core principle of the Discipline Inspection Commission in handling cases: evidence speaks for itself."

"I can take responsibility for everything I've said."

"Secretary Sha, may I continue with the questioning now?"

Gerbillon felt deeply ashamed. Now, not only had he lost all credibility at the Standing Committee meeting, but he had also lost his last shred of dignity in front of the inspection team.

He didn't dare turn his head, afraid of meeting Xu Changhe's questioning gaze.

Cough!

Liu Changsheng couldn't stand it any longer. The basic dignity of the Handong team still needed to be maintained. "Comrade Guofu, you can continue to ask questions, but as you said, you must respect organizational principles and bottom lines."

The last five words were pronounced with extra emphasis.

If no outsiders were present, it would be one thing for the people of Handong to fight to the death; but now that Xu Changhe is here, maintaining the basic authority of Sha Ruijin as squad leader is also one of the principles.

"OK!"

Tian Guofu nodded. "I was emotional just now and my words may have been a bit extreme. I will definitely ensure objectivity and fairness in the subsequent questioning."

Sha Ruijin felt increasingly heartbroken as he listened.

He was happy that Lao Liu had come to his rescue, but Tian Guofu's change in attitude was undoubtedly because one slap wasn't enough, so he raised his big hand and gave him another slap.

Ugh! How embarrassing!

"Is Secretary Gao ready?"

Tian Guofu turned his gaze to Gao Yuliang again, only to find that Gao's expression remained unchanged, which displeased him.

All four of them have to show him respect. Gao Yuliang, you still insist on maintaining your so-called scholarly integrity.

"If I have said anything wrong, Secretary Gao, you are welcome to correct me at any time, but I believe that what I said this time is correct."

Tian Guofu's small eyes narrowed to slits, his gaze filled with murderous intent. "Why shouldn't I, Tian, ​​have this position as deputy secretary?"

"Secretary Guofu, please speak. I am all ears."

Gao Yuliang crossed his legs, placed his hands on his knees, and seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist, fully prepared for the coming storm and even the towering waves.

I have five questions!
