Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

After ending his call with Yang Wanshan, Lin Zheng immediately dialed Lin Hai's number.

"Lin Zheng, I've been told to hand over the person in an hour."

As soon as the call connected, Lin Hai's anxious voice came through.

"Director Lin, stall a little longer."

"Yang Wanshan's side is already making preparations."

"He will convene a meeting soon, announce Wang Jianguo's situation, and then remove Wang Jianguo from his party position."

"You can hand the person over then."

Lin Hai asked, "How long will it take? I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the pressure."

"It should be done within two hours."

At the same time, Yang Wanshan immediately instructed his assistant to notify the media and convened another meeting with all department heads.

The district branch has already intervened, and he must race against time to finalize Wang Jianguo's case before the district takes action.

Within forty minutes, more than a dozen media outlets from the district had gathered in the conference room of Dianhai Town.

Meanwhile, the conference room was already filled with department heads and managers.

Yang Wanshan cleared his throat and said, "I've invited all the media here today to announce an important matter."

"Wang Jianguo, the former deputy mayor of Dianhai Town, violated the spirit of the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China by engaging in illicit sexual relationships, using his position to engage in private business, accepting bribes to do favors for others, and placing his cronies in government departments."

Major media outlets broadcast the event live, reporting Yang Wanshan's words verbatim.

After Yang Wanshan finished speaking, he released the evidence he had obtained from Lin Hai.

That was a photo of Wang Jianguo with three women, naked, with their private parts blurred out.

More than a dozen media outlets immediately took photos.

At the same time, Zhou Guangrong from the district turned green after seeing the news report.

Wang Jianguo was someone he had secretly supported, and now that this had happened, it was extremely disgraceful for him.

Yang Wanshan didn't even report it before arbitrarily announcing Wang Jianguo's matter, which shows he completely disregards the district.

Liu Changhe also received the news at the same time.

Upon hearing his assistant's report, Yang Wanshan sneered after informing Wang Jianguo about the matter.

Yang Wanshan's move directly forced Zhou Guangrong from behind the scenes to the forefront.

With this report out, even if Zhou Guangrong wanted to save Wang Jianguo, he would have to consider the impact.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Guangrong, he would definitely not pay any more attention to Wang Jianguo.

Without Wang Jianguo in Dianhai Town, Yang Wanshan is the one who calls the shots.

Yang Wanshan is his pawn, which means the entire Dianhai Town belongs to him.

Thinking of this, Liu Changhe immediately dialed Yang Wanshan's number and asked him to continue to escalate the matter.

At the police station, Wang Jianguo remained calm.

He was unaware that Yang Wanshan had acted first and informed him later, exposing all his affairs and completely blocking his path.

Moreover, he had just received a call from the branch office, and once the case was transferred to the branch office, his matter would be handled properly very quickly.

When Lin Hai entered, Wang Jianguo's old face was full of mockery.

"Director Lin, this time you're probably going to make a great contribution."

Lin Hai smiled and sat down in front of Wang Jianguo, without responding to his words.

Seeing Lin Hai's expression, Wang Jianguo assumed that Lin Hai had run out of options.

He put on a ferocious expression and warned, "Lin Hai, you just wait. After tomorrow, you'll regret the decision you made today."

"I forgot to tell you, District Chief Zhou is the one who supports me."

After saying that, Wang Jianguo leaned back in his chair and burst into laughter.

Lin Hai remained silent throughout the entire process, quietly waiting for Wang Jianguo to finish speaking.

Only after Wang Jianguo finished speaking did Lin Hai take out his phone, open the video, and hand it to Wang Jianguo.

The video shows Yang Wanshan publicly criticizing Wang Jianguo in front of the media, while also revealing footage of Wang's promiscuous relationships.

Afterwards, bypassing the district authorities, they made a decision directly to revoke his party position, remove him from his position as deputy mayor, and transfer all his cases to the relevant authorities for investigation.

After watching the video, Wang Jianguo was terrified. He slumped into his chair, his face as pale as a dead man.

"Impossible, Yang Wanshan doesn't have that much power."

"He dared to bypass the district and make decisions on his own; the district will definitely punish him."

"That old fox would never do something so stupid."

"These videos are fabricated; don't try to scare me with them."

"Trying to scare you?"

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "Wang Jianguo, you can try calling the district now and see what their attitude is."

"I suggest you don't take full responsibility; it'll be easier to handle things in town."

He has already discussed it with Lin Zheng and made Wang Jianguo hand over the resources behind him.

Lin Zheng's goal was clear: to take over the political resources behind Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo and the officials behind him have had their interests intertwined for so many years, he must have had something on these officials.

As long as Wang Jianguo hands over these lists, along with the cadres that Li Zhengang has won over, Deng Hong will be able to gain the support of 70% of the cadres if she takes office.

As for Yang Wanshan, he acted first and then arbitrarily dealt with Wang Jianguo. In addition, Liu Changhe also used him as a pawn. After this matter, things will not end well for him.

According to Lin Zheng's calculations, Yang Wanshan would at least be demoted or even imprisoned if he took over.

Most of the cadres behind Yang Wanshan were familiar with him, so when Deng Hong came to power, he would be able to win them over without any effort.

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Wang Jianguo still refused to give up.

He took out his phone and first dialed the number of Li Tianhui from the district branch office.

He had spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on Li Tianhui, and he believed that Li Tianhui would not stand idly by and watch him die.

"Director Li..."

Wang Jianguo had barely finished speaking when Li Tianhui interrupted him.

"Mayor Wang, let me finish speaking first. Your matter has already been exposed, and I can't help you."

"The best solution right now is to handle it within the town; I can help coordinate."

"Once it reaches the district level, the consequences will be much more severe."

Wang Jianguo's hand trembled, and he asked, unwilling to give up, "Is there any way to salvage this situation?"

"The matter has already been exposed, with over a dozen media outlets broadcasting it live, and major district media outlets rebroadcasting it. It's even reached the city level. How can we possibly salvage the situation?"

"You've been the town mayor for so many years, don't you understand the ins and outs of this?"

"Director Li, please help me think of a way to keep me from going in..."

Before Wang Jianguo could finish speaking, Li Tianhui hung up the phone.

"Son of a bitch…"

Wang Jianguo held his phone and started cursing.

He was still unwilling to give up and dialed Zhou Guangrong's phone number.

The other end indicated that the dialed number was switched off.

Zhou Guangrong blocked his phone number.

At this moment, Wang Jianguo completely gave up, realizing that he had been used as a pawn and abandoned.

He slumped down, powerless, and said to Lin Hai, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Lin Hai nodded, handed Wang Jianguo a cigarette, and lit it for him.

Wang Jianguo took a deep breath and asked, "What does Yang Wanshan want from me?"

Lin Hai didn't hide anything and said directly, "The resources behind you."

"I can hand over all resources, including incriminating evidence against those officials."

"But I have one request."

"You can say that, but it can only be within my control."

"My case will be handled leniently, and my private assets cannot be touched again."

After saying this, Wang Jianguo seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he aged several years in an instant.

He lost this power struggle, and the price was imprisonment.
