Nominal: The Handong Game, the Energy System's Counterattack

"Comrade Chu Yi, please explain this to everyone in detail." Sha Ruijin's expression was very unpleasant, and he also sensed that something was wrong.

However, under these circumstances, he still asked Zhou Chuyi to explain the situation clearly.

"Okay, Secretary Sha." Zhou Chuyi nodded.

"Some time ago, you all knew more or less about the case of Ding Yizhen, the vice mayor of Jingzhou City and secretary of the Guangming District Committee, who fled abroad."

Li Dakang's face became somewhat unnatural when Ding Yizhen was mentioned.

"Secretary Yuliang and Secretary Dakang should also be aware that Ding Yizhen has fled abroad."

"Comrade Chen Hai, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province, received a phone call from Hou Liangping, the director of the Investigation Department of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Yanjing at the time, instructing him to arrest Ding Yizhen."

"The incident was triggered by a report that Ding Yizhen and the owner of a company in Fujian Province bribed Zhao Dehan, the director of the Approval Division of the Resource Development Department of the Ministry of State Resources Security."

"Huh? Zhao Dehan? The current Vice Mayor of Jingzhou City and Secretary of the Guangming District Committee?" Li Dakang interjected, somewhat surprised.

"That's right, Secretary Dakang, let me explain slowly." Zhou Chuyi looked at Li Dakang, who had a gossipy look on his face, and told him not to be impatient.

"After receiving the report, Comrade Hou Liangping did not know through what channel..."

"During the initial investigation phase of the case, they completely disregarded the case-handling regulations of the procuratorial system and obtained three search warrants through special channels."

"Without filing a case, they disregarded rules and regulations and acted arbitrarily, searching Comrade Zhao Dehan's home."

"At the same time, he contacted Chen Hai, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province, directly through a private phone."

"Having Chen Hai lead men to arrest Ding Yizhen also led to Ding Yizhen's escape."

"Comrade Hou Liangping did not find any clues of corruption at Comrade Zhao Dehan's home."

"Then, without notifying Zhao Dehan's superiors, they took people into Zhao Dehan's office in the ministry and searched it."

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions turned serious.

Searching government ministries? Is the anti-corruption bureau in Beijing that aggressive?

Zhou Chuyi paused for a moment, then looked around at the Standing Committee members present: "As you all know, the Ministry of State-owned Resources Security is a key national-level unit involving classified information."

"Especially for classified departments like the Resource Development Division, there are extremely strict security controls, confidentiality management, and access control systems for external personnel."

"In accordance with the State Secrecy Regulations and the provisions on judicial cooperation, any external judicial or disciplinary inspection agencies shall not be allowed to conduct investigations."

"Without the written consent of the ministry's party group, without the approval and filing of the superior confidentiality department, and without reporting to the relevant level."

"It is strictly forbidden to enter classified office areas without authorization to conduct any searches, evidence collection, or interviews. This is an absolute political red line and a bottom line for confidentiality that must not be crossed."

"Personnel from other units must have complete procedures and be accompanied when entering the office area."

"But Hou Liangping completely disregarded national security regulations, judicial procedures, and the work discipline of ministries, acting recklessly and overstepping his authority."

"He took a search warrant and led his men into the ministry office to search Zhao Dehan's office."

"This action, which appears to be decisive and swift in handling the case, is in fact a serious violation of discipline and law, and an overreach of authority."

"It not only seriously disrupted the normal office order of the central core ministries, but also nearly caused the leakage of classified documents and core government information."

"It poses a great risk to national secrecy work and has caused extremely negative political and judicial impacts."

"Comrade Hou Liangping's actions not only involve procedural issues, but also constitute serious disciplinary violations."

"Coincidentally, at that time I was the director of the Resource Development Department of the Ministry of State Resources Security."

"I was in my office when Comrade Hou Liangping led his men into the ministry building."

"After that, I stopped Hou Liangping and his group from taking action and called Director Qin of the Anti-Corruption Bureau to question him."

"I won't go into the rest."

"After the incident was exposed, the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Party Group attached great importance to it, immediately suspended Hou Liangping's case handling work, and established a special verification team."

"After a comprehensive review of the case handling process, we verified each of Comrade Hou Liangping's violations of rules and regulations."

"Finally, the investigation determined that Hou Liangping's behavior was not a simple procedural flaw or negligence."

"Instead, it is a serious violation of discipline that involves knowingly and deliberately breaking the rules and regulations."

"This is a typical case of disobeying orders, ignoring prohibitions, and acting recklessly, which seriously damages the authority, standardization, and credibility of the central procuratorial system."

"Finally, the Supreme People's Procuratorate's investigation confirmed that the report against Comrade Zhao Dehan was a frame-up."

"Because of this incident, the chief prosecutor who issued the search warrant for Comrade Hou Liangping was forced to retire early."

"Director Qin of the Anti-Corruption Bureau has been given a demerit."

"As for Comrade Hou Liangping, he was demoted from the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau's Investigation Division to the deputy head, and he also received a major demerit."

A slight commotion arose in the conference room as several standing committee members exchanged glances, each with a meaningful look in their eyes.

Many of the Standing Committee members looked solemn, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After hearing Wu Chunlin's introduction, everyone had previously thought that Hou Liangping was a key member of the central anti-corruption team and a skilled investigator.

Unexpectedly, he had such a serious disciplinary record and was even demoted as a problematic cadre!

The key point is that this person was incredibly bold.

How dare they violate regulations in a place like Yanjing, and even dare to lead people to search government agencies?

What kind of goods are these? If he comes to Handong, will he barge into my office one day without warning?

Sha Ruijin's face darkened. He didn't look at anyone, but his gaze fell on Tian Guofu's face. He remained silent for a few seconds.

He really wanted to ask Tian Guofu if he knew anything about Hou Liangping's situation.

What is the Zhong family trying to do? Even if Hou Liangping is the Zhong family's son-in-law, you can't do this.

To portray a problematic official as an anti-corruption vanguard has caused Sha Ruijin to lose face so badly.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhou Chuyi continued, "Therefore, the resume I see here avoids mentioning the fact that Comrade Hou Liangping received disciplinary action."

"It is not permissible according to organizational procedures for a deputy division-level cadre with a major disciplinary record to be directly promoted to the position of deputy director-general level director of the anti-corruption bureau of the provincial people's procuratorate."

"Hou Liangping's official rank should currently be deputy division chief, while the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate is a deputy provincial-level substantive leadership position."

"It is an important leadership position under the provincial government, with significant power and responsibility and a high rank."

"Hou Liangping is currently at the deputy division level and is facing two major disciplinary actions."

"He was promoted directly from deputy division chief to deputy department chief, skipping two entire rank levels."

"This does not conform to the conventional principle of promoting cadres step by step."

"This is a more serious violation of the strict provisions of the 'Regulations on the Selection and Appointment of Cadres,' which stipulate that 'cadres who have been subject to serious disciplinary action shall not be promoted or given important positions, shall not be promoted beyond their rank, and shall not be transferred to important or key positions within a specified period.'"

"Just now at the Standing Committee meeting, Secretary Guo Fu specifically emphasized that cadres with problems should not be promoted in the selection and appointment process."

Zhou Chuyi looked at Tian Guofu and asked with a smile.

"I think, doesn't Comrade Hou Liangping's situation just fit what Secretary Guo Fu just mentioned about promoting someone with problems?"
