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

As for how things are going to turn out, none of you here are stupid; you've all guessed it, so there's nothing to be surprised about.

But it was shocking that Gao Yuliang said it so openly.

"She was young and beautiful, and gave me a completely different feeling."

He lusts after someone's body, yet he describes it in such a beautiful and romantic way.

I bother!

"Most importantly, she understands the history of the Ming Dynasty."

"I don't really understand that kind of thing, but it just so happens that I can teach her, and she's willing to learn."

My heart is crossing the line.

"I am terrified. I have been a law-abiding person my whole life, and I even studied law myself. I know all too well what kind of mistakes I will make if I let things continue like this."

"I started to run away and tried to cover up everything. I thought I was hiding it well, after all, Huifen stayed in Jingzhou and did not live with me at that time, but my wife still saw it clearly."

"After Huifen made a fuss, life gradually calmed down after I made my promise."

"But this is just the beginning."

"Huifen started going to Luzhou all the time, and our lives became a complete mess. Arguing became the only way we could communicate when we met."

"In the endless days, I missed her more and more. During a work exchange trip to Yantai, I ran into her again in a small fishing village in the countryside."

"My heart fluttered like never before."

"I made up my mind, and after I came back, I went to Huifen and asked for a divorce. Of course, she wouldn't agree."

"She said she would report my case to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Provincial Party Committee. I told her that I had confessed to Secretary Zhao that I wanted a divorce."

"She cut her wrists!"

"So much blood, I've never seen such a red color before."

"At that time, I thought that as long as she was alright, I would never mention it again, and I would just live like this for the rest of my life, as long as she was alright."

"But the first thing she told me after she woke up was that she agreed to the divorce. But she demanded that we stay in the same house even after the divorce, and that my second wife could never appear openly in front of others."

"I reported the whole story to Secretary Zhao and the higher-level organization department in writing again. At that time, the Standing Committee was changing hands. The old secretary thought highly of me and did not want me to jeopardize my future because of this matter. He kept it a secret from the other Standing Committee members and spoke with the higher-level organization department on his own."

After the higher-level organization sent people down to conduct an investigation, they allowed me not to disclose my true personal and family information. In order not to upset Huifen, my wife and I also registered our marriage in a small overseas country.

"What is the basis for this?"

Xu Changhe frowned. The organization takes the private conduct of its cadres very seriously, and usually, even if someone pushes them, they will not make such a decision.

"Huifen has a hereditary mental illness."

Gao Yuliang lowered his head. "It was brought from her father's side. My daughter also has some."

"Furthermore, I did not commit any actual infidelity during my marriage."

"So, you got married back then..."

Xu Changhe really didn't want to fall into Gao Yuliang's trap, but he had no choice but to ask.

"right."

Gao Yuliang nodded. "That year, when I first saw Huifen fall ill because of the rumors at school, I felt guilty and uneasy. I thought I could protect her for the rest of her life. In the end, I failed to keep my initial promise."

"After Fangfang found out that I had divorced her mother, she unilaterally cut off all contact with me. I couldn't easily go abroad, so I didn't know anything about her life or work."

"I have not received any related threatening messages, and I can investigate these matters."

"And studying abroad..."

"That was a group study session for young and middle-aged cadres arranged by the organization. Secretary Dakang and others were also present. Our daily movements had to be reported and verified. I have never had any contact with overseas forces."

"Finally, it's Dong Qing and Linzhong Technology."

"I am not close to the Wu family, let alone the Yao and Lin families and their sons-in-law; we have always been in a working relationship within the system. However, after the Anti-Corruption Bureau investigated relevant information, I also conducted some investigations:"

Dong Qing had long been involved in the financial industry. His later shift to P2P lending in Hao County was due to Hao County's proximity to Shanghai, both of which were major centers of economic growth. This was unrelated to Liu Kaihe and other officials from Lüzhou.

Gao Yuliang replied, "Everything I said in today's conversation can be verified."

"Over the years, I have indeed made many mistakes in my work and life, but I have never bowed to illegality while standing on my own ground."

"Secretary Guofu!"

"I hope that next time we meet, you will still call me Comrade Yuliang."

Gao Yuliang nodded, indicating that he had finished speaking.

What a brilliant move of using minimal force to achieve maximum effect!

Within the rules and regulations, if you can push it away, push it off, block it, or dig a hole, take the blame from the least difficult angle, and even drag others down with you.

This performance perfectly showcased Gao Yuliang's true colors as a cunning old fox.

"Okay, that concludes today's internal discussion."

Seeing that Tian Guofu still looked unconvinced, Xu Changhe quickly put away his notes, stood up, and ended the conversation.

Let the two of them continue.

He was really afraid that one of them would have to be carried out, and that would be his fault.

"Comrade Yuliang, I will submit the transcript of the conversation as soon as possible. Your work will be temporarily suspended until a decision is made by higher authorities. Is that alright?"

"I will abide by the organization's decision."

Gao Yuliang stood up and nodded nervously.

"Okay!"

Xu Changhe turned and left, not forgetting to glare at Lin Zhiyuan before he left.

Lin Zhiyuan felt confused. He hadn't said a word during the normal conversation, so what did it have to do with him?

Perhaps she's going through menopause.

"Secretary Sha, we're heading back now."

Liu Changsheng said with a smile.

"Zhiyuan, do you think Secretary Yuliang is the real mastermind?"

come back to the office.

Liu Changsheng then asked, and it must be said that Tian Guofu had indeed opened up a completely new way of thinking for all the chaos in Handong.

Compared to Wu Huifen.

Gao Yuliang is more like the operator, with motives, ability, and purpose.

Furthermore.

He did have his suspicions, otherwise he wouldn't have kept Gao Yuliang by his side after the attack.

"It shouldn't be."

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head. Gao Yuliang was a person who followed the crowd and pursued profit. It was not something Gao Yuliang would do, as it would do more harm than good.

"But just because he didn't do it doesn't mean he didn't know."

Lin Zhiyuan then abruptly changed the subject in his next sentence.

"you mean…"

Liu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

"He has too many labels: local, Han University, Liang Qunfeng, Zhao Lichun..."

Liu Changsheng nodded knowingly. "Several Standing Committee members have been parachuted in over the past six months. He probably sensed the danger, but he is constrained by his pedantic mentality and external factors and cannot escape. So... he simply uses us to make a clean break."

"But whether this or not it's a disaster..."

"It's up to those above to decide."
