In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

Protecting their privacy must be done without harming other innocent people; this is a matter of principle!

"Yes, yes, Governor, your words are insightful. Our Health Commission will immediately add regulations and implement them on a trial basis!"

"Yes, Comrade Chang Peng, the key to preventing the spread of diseases is still through publicity. You need to pay more attention to this aspect and make young people aware of the dangers of spreading diseases!"

"Governor, our Health Commission will hold a special meeting to discuss this matter immediately, and we strive to see results next month. We won't let you down!"

Chen Luo nodded. Now that the minor issues were addressed, it was time to move on to the major ones.

"There's one more thing! Although I haven't conducted on-site investigations at hospitals in various cities, it doesn't mean I'm unaware of certain situations. You, as the director of the Health Commission, know better than I do how much over-medicalization exists in various hospitals and how many 'panaceas' are being sold!"

Ordinary people don't earn money easily. You should keep these issues in mind and truly work to solve them.

Make sure the supervision is implemented effectively. Comrade Chang Peng, you're still young, only fifty-five. There's still room for improvement.

"If you do a good job, I think you'd have no problem becoming a vice chairman of the CPPCC. Of course, the prerequisite is that you truly do your job well and keep the people in mind!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Peng's breathing became rapid. If his cooperation just now was due to the pressure from Chen Luo, then now... he felt ten years younger!

"Governor! Please rest assured, I will definitely investigate the issues you mentioned as soon as possible, and deal with each case as it is discovered. I will never allow such illegal medical incidents to happen again!"

"Okay, do a good job, Comrade Chang Peng. I have other work to do, so I won't keep you any longer."

"Yes, Governor, you're busy!"

After speaking, Chang Peng stood up and left with firm steps. Pushing open the office door, Xu Yang was stunned by what he saw. Just moments ago, Director Chang had been pale and sweating profusely, but now he came out with a rosy complexion...

Cough cough, thankfully Xu Yang stopped his wild thoughts in time.

At the same time, Ye Ziqing also informed the Li family of the situation. Regardless of whether it would work out or not, it was still necessary to let them know.

At the Li family manor in Hong Kong, Li Jiachen sighed heavily after listening to Ye Ziqing's account of the negotiations over the phone.

"Mr. Ye, is there really no way at all?"

This Chen Luo is so stubborn!

"Master Li, I have no choice. He is a ministerial-level official and the top official of the provincial government. Whatever we do is up to him."

Alright, that's all I have to say. Take care of yourself!

Seeing that the other party had hung up the phone just like that, Li Jiachen felt extremely angry.

"Hmph! Useless. Everyone else was praising your family like they were on top of the world, but in the end... what a waste of my hundreds of millions in deposit."

After saying that, Li Jiachen became troubled again. The people in charge of the bidding for the other plots of land were also successively investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission, which was obviously aimed at his family.

If we don't fight back, a few plots of land worth tens of billions will be lost; if we fight back...

Thinking of this, Li Jiachen's eyes turned red. "You forced me to do this, so don't blame me!"

After letting out a heavy sigh, Li Jiachen picked up the phone, found a number at the top of the screen, and dialed it.

The phone rang for a while before being answered.

"Hello, Secretary Qi!"

"Mr. Li, what brings you here to call me?"

"It's like this, Secretary Qi. I have something I'd like to ask you. Our family acquired some land on the mainland more than ten years ago. Back then, it was customary to pay some 'tea money' (a form of bribery) to our family. Now, people are using this against us and are trying to tear us apart!"

"Oh? Who are you talking about?"

"Chen Luo, Governor of Guangdong Province!"

"Um... Mr. Li, you must have the wrong person. I am the Party Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I am only in charge of personnel and organizational development. I have no jurisdiction over Chen Luo."

"Secretary Qi! Don't forget that I am a Canadian citizen. In a way, I am a foreign friend. Surely you can take care of foreign investment matters, Secretary Qi?"

"This one……"

Hearing that the other party was still hesitant, Li Jiachen knew that she was about to suffer a loss.

“Secretary Qi, our Li family doesn’t seek to make money; we just don’t want to be slaughtered like this. Secretary Qi, if this matter is successful, our Li family is willing to donate half, no, seventy percent, of the proceeds from the land sale to the Xiping Foundation!”

The other party was immediately tempted by these words.

Xiping Fund is controlled behind the scenes by Qi Wenxuan's son, who owns 70% of the profits, amounting to tens of billions!

He was genuinely tempted.

However, she remained rational.

“Mr. Li, the conditions you’ve offered are indeed very tempting, but… I still want to say that it’s difficult for me to achieve anything on my own. After all, I can only exert pressure under the pretext of diplomatic needs, but whether you listen or not…”

"Secretary Qi, it's not just you; I also plan to contact Vice Minister Jiang of the Central Propaganda Department."

"If we make a bigger scene and stir up public opinion, it will be impossible for Chen Luo to continue his actions!"

"Oh? If Comrade Jiang Yan can join us, then we're quite confident we can succeed."

"Secretary Qi, does that mean you agree?"

"Yes, I'm willing to give it a try. Like you said, you're a Canadian citizen. We've always given preferential treatment to foreign investors. Forcibly seizing assets has a very bad influence!"

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Secretary Qi!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiachen used the same method to call Jiang, the deputy head of the Central Propaganda Department, and Jiang agreed even faster.

It's worth tens of billions! Even if you share it with Qi Wenxuan, you can still get tens of billions. It's impossible not to be tempted!

That afternoon, they launched a joint offensive.

First, some news media criticized the Guangfu government and reported on the Guangfu government's repossession of the Li family's land.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs then responded, strongly condemning such targeted law enforcement that undermines the business environment.

Chen Luo didn't even notice that after his several attacks, many media outlets were afraid to get involved.

The news media that dare to speak out are mostly small-scale media outlets with limited voices.

In the field of diplomacy, it is a sub-headquarters.

The real fuel to the fire would have to come from the Li family spending money themselves!

Chapter 440 Signs of Real Estate Defaults

In just a few days, the Li family spent a full 1 billion yuan through their own channels to expand their influence. There are people who are greedy for money, even when it comes to the authorities!

Suddenly, the fact that Guangfu had forcibly taken back the Li family's land became common knowledge.

In Chen Luo's office at the provincial government, Chen Luo was smiling as he looked at some online reports. He had to admit that the Li family had embellished the story vividly, portraying Guangfu as a tyrant.

"A clown...not worthy of being presented in public."

Chen Luo's evaluation consisted of only these few words. Just then, the red phone on the table rang.

Put down your phone and answer the call.

"Comrade Chen Luo, are you not busy right now?"

"Secretary Aimin, don't rush, please speak!"

"What's going on with all that online discussion? I only heard about this from my secretary today. Comrade Chen Luo, we should be careful about the impact."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo pursed his lips and replied, "Secretary Aimin, our provincial government did indeed take back the Li family's land, but it was all done in accordance with the law and regulations."

The provincial government will respond to the online discussions; you can sit back and wait for things to unfold.

"Alright, then wait a bit. By the way, I'm not calling you to blame you, but because I don't want you to get entangled with any rotten people or things."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Secretary Aimin!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo looked towards the door.

"Little Xu!"

"Governor, I'm here!"

Xu Yang pushed open the office door almost instantly and stood straight in front of Chen Luo.

"Please inform the provincial government departments and coordinate with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to publicly disclose the violations of discipline and law by Wang Yunxiong and Pang Bo. At the same time, explain the legal provisions and basis for our provincial government's repossession of the Li family's land."

"Yes, Governor!"

Xu Yang quickly made the notification, and the provincial discipline inspection commission and the provincial government's publicity department soon jointly released video materials about Wang Yunxiong and Pang Bo's violations of discipline and law, and the legality and compliance of the repossession of the Li family's land.

The stark figures are right in front of us: Wang Yunxiong and Pang Bo together accepted bribes totaling six or seven hundred million yuan!

There was no hiding anything; the people were initially curious as to why the land was being reclaimed.

After learning that the Li family had bribed the two men to win the bid, they all turned their guns on them, which shows that the Li family is indeed not popular.

That evening, at the Li Family Manor in Hong Kong.

"Secretary Qi, I really didn't expect that Pang Bo had embezzled hundreds of millions of yuan. It's not that I deliberately concealed it!"

“Mr. Li, I’ll assume you’re not deliberately hiding this, but how are we going to handle this now?”

Hundreds of millions of yuan in corruption is no small sum. It has directly shifted public attention from the provincial government's land grab to the punishment of corrupt officials who have become major spenders. Some people online are even saying that the Li family deserves what they got—this is not a good sign!

Upon hearing this, Li Jiachen sighed heavily.

"Secretary Qi, I'm really sorry about this, but the situation isn't that bad. Back then, it wasn't just our Li family that had to pay 'tea money.' Other real estate giants were in the same boat. We can't just target our Li family and ignore the other real estate companies, can we?"

If that's the case, then there's an explanation!

"Mr. Li, you can decide what to do. Comrade Jiang Yan and I will let this go this time, but next time, please investigate thoroughly before calling us!"

"Okay, okay, thank you for understanding, Secretary Qi!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiachen felt utterly exhausted; the offensive she had painstakingly organized had come to nothing.

"Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to success. It seems we need to understand the movements in Guangzhou."

Investigating information was not difficult for the Li family. The next morning, Chen Luo left the provincial party committee compound at 7:30 for the provincial government, and the news was delivered to Li Jiachen's desk at 7:35.

Upon arriving at the provincial capital, Chen Luo did not linger. After calling Tang Ning and Qiu Kai, the three of them headed directly to Tianhe District.

Forty minutes later, Chen Luo and his group's car pulled up in front of the Tianlong Group headquarters.

The visit to Tianlong Group is not aimed at any particular individual. Guangdong Province has two giant real estate companies: one in Guangzhou, namely Tianlong Group, and the other in Shenzhen, Hengda Group.

Chen Luo has been paying close attention to the real estate industry for the past few years. It can be said that some real estate giants are on the verge of collapse. Chen Luo came to Tianlong Group to truly understand whether Tianlong Group will also be caught in the storm.

The inspection was announced last night. As Chen Luo and his group got out of the car, Tianlong Group CEO Pei Yun and a group of senior executives jogged forward to greet them.
