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

Lu Yike and Zhou Zheng were taken away for violating regulations and discipline in the investigation of Ding Yizhen's escape case and for failing to handle the case effectively.

Qi Tongwei knew all too well how Ding Yizhen had escaped.

Targeting the prosecutors now is simply a way to make an example of them and send a warning to others.

Who was being knocked on? Who was being shaken?

As for Cheng Du bringing provincial government documents to mention Cai Chenggong, this made Qi Tongwei even more uneasy.

The provincial government ordered the provincial department to set up a special task force, and he, as the head of the provincial department, only found out about it at the very end.

Qi Tongwei dared not think any further.

He picked up his phone and glanced at Gao Yuliang's number again.

After much hesitation, I still didn't make the call.

Shortly after the Standing Committee meeting, the teacher met with Tian Guofu to explain that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's actions had been tacitly approved by the teacher, and that the teacher himself might even have been one of the participants.

Calling the teacher at this point to ask about the situation will not only yield no results, but may also put the teacher in a difficult position.

But if he didn't ask, he really wouldn't know.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, his phone suddenly vibrated.

The screen displayed a familiar number, and Qi Tongwei answered it immediately.

The phone call brought him news from the Standing Committee meeting.

However, after hearing this, Qi Tongwei broke out in a cold sweat.

"Li Dakang..."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth and read out Li Dakang's name.

It's over. It seems my chances of becoming a deputy provincial governor are over...

Just as the disciplinary committee staff took Lu Yike and Zhou Zheng away.

In the prosecutor's office dormitory, Lin Huahua was tidying up Hou Liangping's room as requested by Ji Changming.

She held a rag in her hand, wiping the table while chatting casually with Hou Liangping.

The knocking started at that moment.

Lin Huahua straightened up and went to open the door.

Outside the door stood two unfamiliar faces, a man and a woman, both dressed in casual clothes, but the party insignia on their chests and their work IDs in their hands said it all.

"Comrade Lin Huahua? We are from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"Regarding the issue of disciplinary issues in handling the case of Ding Yizhen's escape, he is suspended from his duties effective immediately to cooperate with the investigation."

"Please come with us."

Lin Huahua was still clutching the rag in her hand.

She glanced back at the table she had just wiped, then looked at Hou Liangping standing by the window, somewhat bewildered.

Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

Finally, she put the rag on the shoe cabinet by the door and followed the two disciplinary committee members.

Hou Liangping wanted to say something, but when he looked at the two people from the Discipline Inspection Commission, he frowned, picked up his clothes, and walked out.

……

An hour earlier, in the office of the chief prosecutor, Ji Changming had just finished comforting Hou Liangping, who had been humiliated by the anti-corruption bureau.

I was just about to take a break and see if there was anything else I hadn't arranged.

The office phone rang suddenly; the caller ID showed it was the office of the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Ji Changming's heart sank slightly. He quickly answered the phone, his attitude respectful: "Secretary Tian."

On the other end of the phone, Tian Guofu didn't exchange any pleasantries; his tone was serious, and he went straight to the point.

"Comrade Ji Changming, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, I convey the resolution of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee."

"First, because the relevant case-handling personnel of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, such as Lu Yike, Zhou Zheng, and Lin Huahua, handled the case in violation of regulations and lacked professional competence."

"This led to Ding Yizhen's escape and caused a negative impact; all those involved have been suspended from their duties pending investigation."

"After the investigation is completed, those responsible will be held accountable in accordance with regulations and discipline, and then reassigned to new positions."

Upon hearing Tian Guofu's words, Ji Changming's mind went blank.

He wasn't surprised that these people had violated rules and regulations, but he didn't expect their affairs to have reached the Standing Committee.

What should he say when Judge Wu comes to him later?

Tian Guofu ignored Ji Changming's thoughts and continued reading the decision.

"Secondly, Comrade Hou Liangping's final appointment was confirmed as the Director of the First Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, with the rank of Deputy Division Chief."

"The previously proposed verbal appointment of the head of the anti-corruption bureau is null and void. Your procuratorate's party group should follow the proper procedures and issue a formal appointment document."

When Ji Changming heard this news, he almost lost his composure.

Secretary Sha said he was going to be a bureau chief, so how come Hou Liangping is still just a deputy section chief after all this time?

I just announced Hou Liangping's appointment as director in front of everyone in the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Now he's being asked to be the head of the First Investigation Division, but is he still a deputy division-level official?

Isn't this a slap in the face for Ji Changming?

At this moment, Ji Changming was filled with regret. He shouldn't have let Hou Liangping cause trouble and announced the appointment ahead of time.

Ji Changming had been cautious his whole life, but he never expected to make such a big blunder just before his retirement.

What are Zhong Jia and Secretary Sha doing? How could they get this wrong?

Ji Changming felt completely numb.

"Third, because of the serious mistakes made by the Prosecutor General's Office in the case of Ding Yizhen's escape."

"This is also to cooperate with the Supreme People's Procuratorate's special campaign of 'promoting reform through cases, warning through cases, and rectifying discipline and work style.'"

"The Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have decided that the Provincial Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Bureau will immediately launch a special campaign of 'using cases to promote reform and serve as warnings, as well as a campaign to rectify discipline and work style.'"

"Disciplinary rectification, work style improvement, and business review were carried out within the procuratorate system."

"Conduct a comprehensive self-examination and self-correction to reshape the judicial atmosphere."

"In addition, special study sessions will be held for comrades Hou Liangping, Lu Yike, Zhou Zheng, Lin Huahua, and others, who need to study in depth and reflect deeply."

......

Tian Guofu recited the provincial party committee's resolution without any emotion, and then hung up the phone before Ji Changming could even react.

He held the phone, speechless for a long time, his heart filled with shock and bewilderment.

What's going on? Why does Ji Changming feel like he can't even retire properly anymore?

Just then, Hou Liangping rushed into Ji Changming's office.

"Inspector Ji, what happened? Why was Lin Huahua taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

"Why are you saying that Ding Yizhen's escape was due to the prosecutor's office's poor handling of the case?"

Looking at the reckless Hou Liangping, Ji Changming was furious but couldn't vent his anger.

"Hou Liangping, before you came to Handong, what was your position in the Anti-Corruption Bureau?"

"Huh?" Hou Liangping's face flushed slightly at Ji Changming's question. "What's wrong, Prosecutor Ji?"

"It's nothing." Ji Changming suppressed his anger. "The Standing Committee meeting is over, and there are new arrangements for your position from above."

Forget it, forget it. He chose this path himself. Having Hou Liangping is a blessing for Ji Changming.

"Comrade Hou Liangping, on behalf of the Party Group of the Procuratorate, I hereby formally inform you that you are appointed as the Director of the First Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, with the rank of Deputy Director."

"Deputy Director?" Hou Liangping stared wide-eyed at Ji Changming in disbelief.

"Quarterly inspection, why?"

Ji Changming sighed: "Why didn't you truthfully disclose the disciplinary actions you have taken against you?"

"For someone with the rank of deputy director to hold the actual position of director, Secretary Sha is giving you a lot of face."

Hou Liangping fell silent; he couldn't argue against the disciplinary action.

He could still be demoted in Yanjing, but when he arrived in Handong, he thought no one would mention it. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

"Investigate one place? What about Lu Yike?" Hou Liangping asked Ji Changming.

Ji Changming's eyes darkened: "Suspended from duty pending investigation. Ding Yizhen's case is being jointly investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, with Secretary Gao Yuliang of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Secretary Tian of the Commission for Discipline Inspection personally overseeing the process."

"That's enough, you go back first, I still have things to do here." Ji Changming interrupted Hou Liangping, telling him to leave first with a stern face.

Ji Changming needed time to process the series of news; he was still struggling to process it all.

Thinking of his team in the anti-corruption bureau, Ji Changming felt as if the sky had darkened considerably.
