In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

When did Sun Lianqi ever show such an attitude?

Sun Lianqi's career has always been smooth sailing, and he has been very successful. He has risen all the way to the position of deputy provincial level. Even if he cannot go any further, he can still consider his life fulfilling.

However, at this moment, Sun Lianqi seemed to have lost his soul and was facing imminent disaster.

Sun Yikun was also anxious at this moment. For Sun Lianqi to appear in such a state and say such things, it was clear that something despairing must have happened.

Is the Sun family finished?

How can Sun Yikun possibly recover?

"Uncle, what happened? Please tell me."

Sun Lianqi looked at Sun Yikun, his hands trembling.

"Deputy Secretary Wu just told me about the decision of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee."

"You have been removed from your position as Secretary of the Oasis City Party Committee by the Provincial Party Committee. Furthermore, at the meeting, you were characterized as having committed serious violations of laws and regulations. At daybreak, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will take you away."

"Yikun, this time, I'm afraid no one can save you."

Upon hearing these words, Sun Yikun's body swayed violently, and his vision suddenly went completely black.

Serious violations of laws and regulations?

Remove the Party Secretary of Oasis City from office?

Will the provincial discipline inspection commission take him away at dawn?

These messages were simply unacceptable to him.

He was only in his forties, had just taken up the position of municipal party secretary, and had just defeated the Li family. He was already dreaming of becoming a vice-provincial level official in a few years, before he was even fifty.

Then they marched forward triumphantly, enjoying smooth sailing and boundless glory.

How did I suddenly fall from heaven to hell?

How did he suddenly go from being the Party Secretary of the Municipal Committee to violating laws and regulations?

Yes, he admitted that he couldn't possibly have not done anything illegal or disorderly. However, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had not conducted any investigation into him, so how could he have been dismissed directly from his post at the Standing Committee meeting? During the day, he was still accompanying the Linjiang Provincial Party and Government Delegation, waiting to make a name for himself in front of the leaders of the two provinces.

It ended before it even started?

Or is it completely over?

"No, Uncle, this can't be true. What's going on? Why is the Provincial Party Committee suddenly going to remove me from my post, give me such a serious label, and even have the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection take me away?"

"Uncle, this isn't real, it's a joke, right?"

Sun Lianqi also hoped it was a joke, but he and Sun Yikun both knew very well that it was not a joke, but an indisputable fact.

Actually, they had a premonition from the moment many people stopped answering their calls, but they just couldn't believe it.

The provincial party committee document has not yet been issued, but Deputy Secretary Wu would not lie to them about something like this; it must all be true.

"Yikun, Deputy Secretary Wu, wouldn't lie to us."

Sun Yikun's face was ashen, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Uncle, Deputy Secretary Wu, yes, there's also Deputy Secretary Wu, please ask him to help me. And you, you're still the vice governor of the provincial government, please help me. You and Deputy Secretary Wu have acquaintances everywhere in the Qingjiang Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, please ask them to put in a good word for me."

"If you speak up and Deputy Secretary Wu also speaks up, then even the top two provincial-level universities will have to give you face."

"Uncle, please help me."

Sun Yikun knew that once he was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection this time, it would be difficult for him to get out again.

Even if they get out, their future will be completely ruined, their prospects will be utterly destroyed.

For someone who is accustomed to and obsessed with power, losing power is no less than losing their life.

"Uncle, the provincial party committee's document hasn't been issued yet, there's still a chance to salvage the situation. Please help me, I beg you to help me! I'm the hope of our Sun family. If I'm finished, the future of the Sun family will be cut off."

Seeing Sun Yikun's panicked state, Sun Lianqi could understand, but what Sun Yikun said was simply a joke.

Is there a chance to salvage the situation because the decision of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee has not yet been made?

If this isn't a joke, what is it?

The decision made by the provincial party committee at a standing committee meeting overnight can be overturned so easily?

What do they take the Qingjiang Provincial Party Committee for? What do they take the Standing Committee members for?

Sun Lianqi silently got up and looked at Sun Yikun, who was like a lump of mud. At this moment, he felt extremely unfamiliar with him.

Is this still the same nephew who was arrogant and looked down on everyone?

Now that things have really come to this, this is how things have turned out, which has left Sun Lianqi somewhat disappointed.

"Rise, Yikun!"

"This time, we lost, but even if we lose, we must have backbone, instead of lying on the ground like a lump of mud, begging and pleading. It's no use begging, the matter is settled, let's leave ourselves some dignity."

"Go get some sleep. People from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will come to take you away after dawn. Remember, be dignified."

At this point, all Sun Lianqi could say was this.

Let's be dignified; this is the Sun family's last bit of pride.

However, Sun Yikun was in no position to maintain any semblance of dignity at this moment. He was about to be taken inside; what dignity could he possibly have left?

What's the point of being respectable?

Besides, he knows his situation better than anyone else. If nothing goes wrong, all is well; but if something does, it's truly the end for him.

"No, I can't be taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, Uncle. If you won't help me, then don't stop me. I... I want to leave. I want to leave now."

After saying that, Sun Yikun was about to rush out of the study.

When Sun Lianqi saw this, his face changed. Should he run away?

Sun Yikun, is he trying to escape?

But where can we escape to?

If he really escapes, it won't just be Sun Yikun's problem anymore. Originally, maybe only Sun Yikun would be dealt with, and they might only be implicated. But once Sun Yikun escapes, they can't escape either. There will be no room for easing up, and they won't be able to protect the people they could protect.

This is simply outrageous!

"Sun Yikun, you stop right there! Where do you think you can run to?"

"Not to mention you can't live a life of hiding, you can't even leave Qingzhou."

"stop!"

However, at this moment, Sun Yikun could no longer listen to Sun Lianqi's words. He put on his clothes, opened the door, and started running outside, intending to drive to a secluded place first, and then change cars to leave Qingzhou.

However, to Sun Yikun's surprise, the moment he opened Sun Lianqi's door and ran out, six staff members from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection appeared in front of him.

"You must be Sun Yikun. We are from the Qingjiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Please come with us."

Sun Lianqi, following behind, witnessed this scene and didn't know whether to feel relieved or saddened.

The provincial discipline inspection commission personnel did indeed plan to take the people away after dawn, but since Sun Yikun had attempted to flee, that plan was naturally null and void.

Sun Yikun was pale. Looking at the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he knew he couldn't escape. Before being taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he turned back to Sun Lianqi and cried out, "Uncle, save me, you must save me."

"I don't want to be locked up, I can't be locked up!"

Sun Lianqi watched as Sun Yikun was led into the car, unable to utter a single word.

Sun Yikun didn't want to be taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he didn't want to lose his power and freedom. Did Sun Lianqi want that too?

He really couldn't help Sun Yikun, because, according to Deputy Secretary Wu, Sun Lianqi's fate wouldn't be much better either.

The reason the provincial discipline inspection commission didn't take him away is because he is a deputy provincial level official, and the provincial discipline inspection commission simply doesn't have the authority to handle his case unless authorized by the highest-level discipline inspection commission.

But the blade has already been drawn; how could Sun Lianqi possibly escape?

"Li Zhixing, Chen Min'en, it's you, it must be you!"

"You guys went too far!!!"
