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

"Executive Director Lin, the investigation results are in."

Lu Yangshan and Qi Tongwei went together to the office of the executive vice governor to report the investigation results of the information leak incident at Handa University.

"This is the self-inspection report from the internal disciplinary inspection office of Han University, and this is the investigation report from the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Provincial Public Security Department."

Lu Yangshan handed over two documents and gave Qi Tongwei, who was standing next to him, a knowing look.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

"Director Lin, the Economic Crime Investigation Division conducted individual and group interviews with thirteen students, including An Jing, Pang Xinyan, and Shen Fei, and compared the clues they provided with the evidence found at the suspect's residence."

The substantive findings of the investigation are as follows:

"Suspects Li Shengtian and Qian Yitian took advantage of their positions to actively assist microloan companies in providing lists of students with financial difficulties and planning criminal schemes. They lured students to solve their financial problems with microloans and caused repayment delays by secretly restricting students from working part-time and other means, thus forcing them to take out loans to repay other loans, gradually leading them to degenerate and commit crimes."

"Shen Fei and An Jing were among the first victims. After experiencing trauma, they were stimulated by the two suspects through psychological suggestion and other means to develop obedience and antisocial tendencies, becoming their hidden henchmen who spread to other students."

"Pang Xinyan was the target chosen by the criminal gang. Her parents divorced when she was young, but her family was not poor. Her father took his anger out on his daughter because of the divorce, especially after he remarried. He only gave her money and lacked care. She drifted into society during her teenage years. In high school, she suddenly realized her mistakes and was admitted to Han University. She still retains her flamboyant style and the habit of spending money extravagantly."

"In order to buy high-end luxury goods, I used online loans at the suggestion of others, but just this one time, I completely fell into the abyss."

"She is proud by nature, and the trauma and torment she suffered were the most severe. She was diagnosed by a psychologist as having a tendency to develop severe depression."

Listening to the report.

Lin Zhiyuan scoffed lightly, "What do you mean by 'target'? And who are the others?"

Why is she still looking for me?

Lin Zhiyuan closed the investigation report and asked.

"An Jing's situation is different from Shen Fei's. Shen Fei went all the way down the dark path, while An Jing... on the one hand, she hopes that you, Executive Director Lin, can severely punish the criminals, and on the other hand, she also wants to protect herself through you."

She said she had suffered a lot and wanted to have the chance to taste the sweetness of the world.

Punish them severely according to the law and set an example!

Lin Zhiyuan's instruction on this matter consisted of only eight characters, which were clear, concise, and resolute.

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing that Lu Yangshan looked like he wanted to say something but didn't dare, Lin Zhiyuan asked directly.

"Also a victim..."

After reading An Jing's message, Lu Yangshan realized that he was no different from Qi Tongwei before he knelt down.

"They are both victims and perpetrators."

Lin Zhiyuan's tone was cold: "The more gray areas we are in, the more we should impose severe sentences. It may be cruel, but it's to prevent the next An Jing from happening, and more importantly, to ensure there is no next Pang Xinyan."

"I feel sorry for her."

"Then we should find the original perpetrators one by one, mobilize legal resources, and push the limits within the framework of the law."

"As a model of strictness, I allow you to go a little overboard, as long as you control the degree."

"In addition, we should organize psychological counseling and fraud prevention education for other students."

Lu Yangshan nodded repeatedly.

Lin Zhiyuan then opened the investigation report from Han University, which contained only a few words:

The Party Secretary, the Organization Minister, the Student Affairs Minister, and the Logistics Management Director of Hanzhong University were expelled from the Party and dismissed from their posts, and their cases were transferred to the procuratorial organs in accordance with the law.

The head of the student's department and the heads of relevant departments were disciplined.

Finally, there was a message personally left by Qin Wenming: "Han University will fully cooperate with the relevant work of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government."

Lin Zhiyuan was slightly taken aback, but then found it funny and absurd.

"After consulting with the students involved, we will determine whether they wish to return to school to complete their studies. If they do not wish to, Han University will organize separate instruction, including ongoing psychological rehabilitation treatment, with the expenses covered solely by Han University."

"If requests involve name changes, we will provide appropriate assistance in processing changes to household registration and personnel file information."

"If similar cases occur in other schools, they will be dealt with together according to the actual circumstances."

"Those who break the law should be severely punished, but we must also have a humanistic spirit, but long-term psychological treatment is required."

Lin Zhiyuan pointed to the report proposal from Han University and handed it back to Lu Yangshan.

"clear!"

Lu Yangshan nodded repeatedly, and after confirming that there were no other instructions, he left Qi Tongwei alone to play with the yo-yo.

"Executive Director Lin, Gao Fangfang is back."

Qi Tongwei suddenly said, "I picked him up from the airport."

"Didn't they increase the difficulty over there?"

Lin Zhiyuan asked casually.

"no."

Qi Tongwei confirmed, "Fangfang did not change her nationality. In addition, she changed her major and started late. She did not come into contact with the core projects of the laboratory, so Lighthouse did not set any obstacles to her returning to China."

"The divorce is over, and I didn't bring the child back with me."

"But we haven't found any leads on the people who had contact with her."

"No need to look."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't take it to heart, saying, "I know what I'm doing."

"Professor Gao invited me to his house for dinner tonight."

Qi Tongwei didn't hesitate and continued.

"I don't interfere with private contacts."

Lin Zhiyuan put some documents into his briefcase, stood up and said, "In the period leading up to the end of the year, I will go to the four cities in Hannan and the three cities in Hanzhong, excluding Jingzhou, to conduct grassroots research and inspections. I will return to the provincial government about once every seven days."

"Comrade Tianhen is still in the hospital, and Comrade Denggao and the others are busy with their work. I will temporarily entrust you with the work of liaising between the provincial government and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission."

"In case of any emergency, call me or Xiao Gao. For regular work, report directly to Governor Liu."

Qi Tongwei's eyes widened upon hearing this.

He vividly remembered Lin Zhiyuan's words that he would stagnate for two years, but now that the work under his supervision had been handed over to him, could it be that he had changed his mind...?

"You still can't keep your composure."

"Too much thinking and worrying."

"But I just can't think of anything, it's a waste of my brainpower."

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head and left with the final words, "Do a good job."

Night fell.

Qi Tongwei drove to the familiar Building No. 3 of the Provincial Party Committee Family Compound once again, but the green Land Cruiser was gone, and there was a sense of unfamiliarity.

"Tongwei, I'm so happy that you can still come to my place."

There were only Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei at the dinner table; Gao Fangfang did not live there.

"It's been a long time since I've visited your home, teacher."

Qi Tongwei offered to pour wine for Gao Zhiwu.

Since that internal conversation ended, it was the first time he had seen his teacher. In less than ten days, Teacher Gao's hair had lost all its black color.

It was a pure white under the lights.

In the eyes of many people in Handong, Gao Yuliang's reputation has already collapsed, and the once-famous Handong University clique seems to have disappeared without a trace overnight.

But now, Teacher Gao…

Its momentum was unprecedentedly strong, like an ancient sword being drawn from its sheath, without any rust marks, only a cold glint that could cut a hair with a single blow.
