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

Neither Ji Changming nor Lin Jianguo responded immediately upon hearing Sha Ruijin's words.

They've been in Handong for so long, they know the current situation there.

Cleaning up the corrupt officials in Handong and fighting corruption sounds inspiring, but is it really that simple?

The phrase "no forbidden zones, no upper limits" is well said. If this were to be seriously implemented, the entire Handong region would be thrown into turmoil.

In this situation, even if Sha Ruijin were the provincial party secretary, could he handle it? Ji Changming and Lin Jianguo both had doubts.

However, Hou Liangping's eyes lit up instantly, with the excitement of a soldier hearing the bugle call to charge.

Because of Zhao Dehan's case, he had a very difficult time at the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

He originally thought that coming to Handong would immediately give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, and that his rank issue might even be resolved immediately.

To his utter surprise, the matter was exposed. As soon as he arrived in Handong, he was dragged into a study class without having done anything.

Secretary Sha's meaning is now very clear: he is about to launch a major anti-corruption campaign, and by calling me over, he is entrusting me with an important task.

Before Ji Changming and Lin Jianguo could express their opinions, he suddenly stood up and almost shouted.

"Please rest assured, Secretary Sha! All officers of our Anti-Corruption Bureau will keep our duties and mission firmly in mind and enforce the law impartially."

"No matter who is involved, no matter their position or background, we will resolutely investigate and punish them without mercy!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I will dig out every single corrupt official in Handong!"

His voice was passionate and stirring, his cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

His words were spoken loudly, echoing in the conference room for a few seconds.

Ji Changming and Lin Jianguo, who were sitting next to him, were both taken aback by Hou Liangping's sudden statement.

How can a deputy section chief like you represent the entire Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province?

Ji Changming turned his head slightly to look at him, his eyes filled with worry.

He wasn't worried about Hou Liangping, but rather about the fact that he had to protect this person, and he didn't know if Hou Liangping could handle it.

Sha Ruijin looked at Hou Liangping with a satisfied smile on his face and gestured for him to sit down.

"Comrade Liangping is in very good spirits, which is commendable."

"Anti-corruption work requires this kind of spirit of not being afraid of evil or oppression."

He then turned to Ji Changming: "Comrade Changming, the procuratorate is a legal supervisory body, and the anti-corruption bureau is the sharpest weapon against corruption."

"You must thoroughly understand the spirit of the higher authorities and the intentions of the provincial party committee, and unify your thoughts and actions with the overall goal of purifying the political environment of Handong."

"Next, we must focus on key areas, key links, and key individuals, intensify our investigations, and expedite the case handling process."

"We must verify any leads we have as soon as possible."

"We must focus on addressing the prominent issues that have drawn strong public concern. The Provincial Party Committee is your strong backing."

Ji Changming listened with a blank expression.

When Sha Ruijin mentioned "key figures" and "speeding up the process," his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly as he glanced at Hou Liangping.

He responded respectfully: "The Provincial Procuratorate's Party Group will earnestly study and understand the spirit of the Provincial Party Committee, strengthen its sense of responsibility, and fully support the work of the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

"We will advance all investigation and handling work in accordance with laws and regulations, and in a proactive and steady manner, so as not to disappoint the expectations of the Provincial Party Committee."

His word choice remained precise, with the phrase "in accordance with laws and regulations, proactive and prudent" being pronounced with exceptional clarity.

After all, the news of their procuratorate's irregular handling of the case has spread far and wide.

The entire procuratorial system is undergoing a special rectification campaign; we can't afford to have anything else go wrong because of Sha Ruijin's instructions.

"Heh, very good." Sha Ruijin could also sense Ji Changming's caution.

"The reason we called Comrade Hou Liangping here this time is also for the sake of the overall anti-corruption situation in the province."

"Ding Yizhen's escape had a very negative political impact."

"To date, there is still no definitive conclusion regarding this person."

"Comrade Hou Liangping came to Handong with a clue."

"Ding Yizhen is also involved in Jingzhou City and Guangming District. The Dafeng Factory incident was caused by corruption."

"Therefore, as I just mentioned, we need to focus on key areas, key processes, and key individuals."

"The Guangmingfeng project is a major investment project in Jingzhou City and even Handong Province. Dafeng Factory is a key link, and Ding Yizhen is the key figure who connects all the things."

"I have already communicated with Secretary Guo Fu of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Next, your procuratorate and anti-corruption bureau, together with the provincial discipline inspection commission, will work together."

"We must use the Ding Yizhen and Dafeng Factory incidents as a starting point to thoroughly investigate corruption..."

The conversation lasted for nearly half an hour, during which Sha Ruijin instructed them to start their operation with Ding Yizhen, Dafeng Factory, and Guangmingfeng.

Afterwards, Sha Ruijin concluded the conversation, reiterating the principle of "no forbidden zones and no upper limits," and encouraged them to "go all out and work with the full support of the Provincial Party Committee."

Finally, Sha Ruijin stood up, shook hands with Ji Changming, Lin Jianguo, and Hou Liangping, and said, "I'm waiting for your good news."

As I walked out of Sha Ruijin's office, the door closed gently behind me.

The brightly lit corridor gave those who had just emerged from the oppressive room a feeling of being in another world.

Hou Liangping let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his blood boiling.

Secretary Sha's attitude was crystal clear! He supported them in making a big splash!

Sha Ruijin gave him a special privilege: if he encountered any problems that he couldn't resolve, he could report directly to Sha Ruijin, which gave him immense confidence.

He could almost see himself leading the anti-corruption bureau to wipe out all the corrupt officials in Handong.

He was eager to get back to the station immediately and uncover all the backlogged clues. His first priority was to find Cai Chenggong and interrogate him overnight.

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, did you hear that? Secretary Sha's support is incredible! We need to get to work quickly; we can't let others look down on our anti-corruption bureau!"

Hou Liangping clapped his hands excitedly, his voice full of eagerness.

Ji Changming merely turned his head slightly, glanced at Hou Liangping, and maintained his calm and composed expression.

But a barely perceptible worry flickered deep in his eyes.

He gently patted Hou Liangping on the shoulder and said in a calm tone, "Comrade Liangping, we must deeply understand the spirit of Secretary Sha's instructions."

"But anti-corruption work is a serious law enforcement activity. It requires not only strength, but also proper procedures, evidence, and policy."

"Take steady steps and be meticulous. Remember, haste makes waste."

"Don't forget, most of the people in your Investigation Division are still in training courses."

His words were like a basin of lukewarm water, neither too hot nor too cold, but just right to extinguish some of Hou Liangping's enthusiasm.

Hou Liangping curled his lip, somewhat unconvinced.

He felt that Ji Changming was too conservative and too concerned with so-called "procedures" and "safety."

Now that Sha Ruijing has arrived, it is precisely the time when a breakthrough is needed in the fight against corruption.

At such a critical juncture of principle, of breaking down barriers and establishing new systems, we must act swiftly and decisively, and dare to confront tough challenges!

Secretary Sha has already said that the Provincial Party Committee will fully support us, so what are we afraid of?

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. We'll act according to the law and regulations, but we also need to be bold!"

Hou Liangping couldn't help but argue back.

Ji Changming didn't say anything more, just nodded: "Yes, that's good. I've taken up quite a bit of time coming to see Secretary Sha today."

"Your study progress may be a little behind. Remember to work overtime to finish what you've learned today."

"We still have to learn!" Hou Liangping almost jumped up.

"What, you think this training course is just a formality? The Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Discipline Inspection Commission both need to see the training reports."

Ji Changming looked at Hou Liangping with a smile, "Since Secretary Sha has given instructions, you guys can start handling cases from now on."

"However," Ji Changming pointed at Hou Liangping, "his daily study schedule cannot be neglected."

"ah......"
