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

Ah Qiu! Ah Qiu!

Wen Yiyan sneezed violently several times as soon as she got off the bus, feeling a chilling sensation as if her head had vanished.

Damn it!

Which bastard is cursing me behind my back?

Someone surnamed Lin!

Yes, it must be that guy.

"Grandpa, please slow down."

When Wen Yiyan saw an elderly man walking unsteadily down behind her, she quickly went forward and helped him up with his children and grandchildren.

"Little Wen!"

Although the old man was quite old, he was still sharp of hearing and sight. "I just heard you sneeze. You must take good care of yourself. Sigh! The work pressure is too great. Young people these days are not in good health."

"Hey, how can I compare to you, an elder?"

Wen Yiyan readily admitted, taking small, slow steps, "But I just had some water and soil incompatibility, a sneeze and it was over. My body is still strong, and I promise that if I take you all back to your hometown, I won't miss a single step."

The old man chuckled and patted Wen Yiyan's hand. "I have two young men to look after them, no problem. You go and check on the other old men."

it is good!

Without any hesitation, Wen Yiyan went straight to the next person.

"Young people are really interesting."

The old man looked at his son, who was also quite old and had a full head of white hair, and said softly.

"There is an ulterior motive, hence the words are compliant."

The son replied.

The old man did not refute, and led his son and three grandsons toward the car not far away.

They haven't returned for nearly a century.

Especially as he got older, he longed for his hometown more and more, wanting to walk every inch of the path he had walked as a child and pick the fruit he had picked as a child, but he knew very well that his body could not hold on.

My hometown has become a foreign land.

It's better not to cause trouble for others. The son is right, but he also has his own desires.

Wen Yiyan helped another elderly person who had come alone walk slowly, occasionally looking down to talk loudly with him, while glancing ahead with a slight smile on his lips.

His big plan is about to succeed...

Hehehe!

Lin Zhiyuan even dared to sneer at him behind his back, so when he got back, he made him polish his shoes.

Handong, a region always rife with turmoil, enjoyed a long-awaited two-month period of peace after the Diaozhou Incident came to an end.

The restlessness seems to be subsiding.

With wave after wave of crackdowns, evil no longer dares to easily surface and challenge the existing social order.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the newly appointed Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Qin Siyuan, went deep into the Department of Justice and had in-depth conversations with arrested officials, businessmen, and ordinary people, directly addressing the most acute and contradictory issues. It is unknown what methods he used to achieve a breakthrough, which was then compiled into a record of judicial interviews.

In addition to the perpetrator's own account.

Qin Siyuan personally wrote the article, in collaboration with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Procuratorate, the Provincial High Court, the Department of Justice, psychological experts, and legal experts. For each sharp issue, he thoroughly analyzed it from multiple dimensions, including law, procedure, trial standards, the psychological transformation of criminals and human nature, and the consequences of crimes. He summarized the preparations and precautions that the general public, especially cadres, should take when facing problems, as well as predictions for future changes in the times.

For this reason.

At the provincial party committee standing committee meeting, it was proposed that the campaign against organized crime should be sustained, normalized, and intensified. Following Lin Zhiyuan's promotion of the campaign last year, this year's special operation was launched, and a task force was established, with him personally serving as the task force leader.

There was no two in the limelight for a while.

Cover up the old Standing Committee member.

Qin Siyuan proved with his achievements in a short period of time that he was not just a figurehead. He came to Handong well-prepared and to get things done.

Flowers bloom in pairs, a rare occurrence.

Zhong Xiaoai, who was also announced to be parachuted into the position of executive deputy chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate, took office a full month later than Qin Siyuan. However, as soon as she took office, she proposed a plan to upgrade the anti-corruption bureau at an internal meeting.

Referring to the regulations of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Anti-Dereliction Bureau, and the Duty Crime Prevention Division will be reorganized into a new Anti-Corruption Bureau, which will be at the level of a full-fledged department-level official and personally taken over by the Chief Procurator of the Provincial Procuratorate, thereby realizing a de facto vice-ministerial level leadership system to address the current situation in Handong under the new circumstances.

Zhong Xiaoai's reasons were also quite valid, with the Jingzhou Dafeng Factory case, the Luzhou attack case, the Chuzhou case, the Jiangdong case, and the Diaozhou case being the best real-world examples.

The original anti-corruption bureau was not high enough in terms of its level.

The provincial procuratorate is too hesitant and inflexible in investigating cases, and it needs to set up special task forces for every major case. This can easily create a negative impression among the public, making them think that the provincial procuratorate is incapable of handling common job-related crimes.

This proposal naturally drew opposition from Lü Liang, the deputy chief prosecutor in charge, and the heads of three departments.

Upgrading sounds wonderful.

However, with changes in rank and staffing, the four people may go from being the direct supervisors to becoming the third or even fourth in command. Yes, they won't even be the second in command anymore.

Zhong Xiaoai smiled dismissively at the crowd's outrage.

She planned to get pregnant as a backup plan, but now that she's done it, she can't just retreat; she has to achieve something before she does.

Results are public.

But there are also private matters.

Does she really think that she doesn't know that Lü Liang, Huang Hao, and their group are plotting against Hou Liangping behind his back every day? Does the Zhong family not know?

They're just waiting for an opportunity.

Free your hands.

She doesn't need any schemes or tricks; she can easily crush them simply by overwhelming them with sheer force.

Zhang Guohua frowned. To be honest, he was very tempted by Zhong Xiaoai's proposal, as it would allow him to further concentrate the core of the hospital under his control, but it also meant taking on a lot of trouble.

Let's go somewhere else.

He made the decision immediately, reported it to Secretary Qin, and then had it voted on by the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

But as I said before:

This is Handong, a place where thunder roars everywhere.

"Since Chief Prosecutor Lü and other comrades are firmly opposed, then fine. After all, there must be a reason why the current staffing has existed for so long. Why don't we each take a step back?"

Zhong Xiaoai raised her chin slightly, maintaining an extremely arrogant posture, and looked at Zhang Guofeng. Seeing that he remained silent, she dropped another bombshell, "Prosecutor Zhang, I propose that the Anti-Corruption Bureau be completely separated from the Provincial Procuratorate and that it be jointly staffed with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Supervisory Commission to handle cases together."

puff!

Zhang Guofeng, who was drinking tea to soothe his throat, suddenly turned around, spraying tea onto the side. Luckily, it didn't spray onto the table. He looked back at Zhong Xiaoai with disbelief, who had a matter-of-fact look on her face. "Miss Zhong, is this what you call a compromise?"

and also…

Am I crazy to personally peel off the sharpest blade in my hand and hand it over to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Supervision Department?

What's this called?

He cut off both of his arms!

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang and the others also looked flustered.

This person has no martial ethics; he'll punch them to death the moment he sees them, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Then came anger.

But before he could react, Zhang Guofeng raised his hand to suppress him, and he had more to think about.

If Zhong Xiaoai's plan is followed, this new joint investigation unit will undoubtedly be led by the Discipline Inspection Commission, followed by the Supervision Department, and lastly by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. However, Zhong Xiaoai comes from the Discipline Inspection Commission's Supervision Department. Is this Zhong Xiaoai's idea or does it represent the intention of the higher-level Discipline Inspection Commission?

If it's the latter...

"Let's put this proposal on hold for now and discuss it with Secretary Qin."
