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

He... was just the deputy team leader?

"Ahem! Secretary Li, what did you say? I'm the deputy leader of this inspection team?"

Tian Guofu wanted to confirm whether he had misheard, but Director Xiao's words immediately brought him to his senses.

"The situation at Tongdaochi is rather complicated, and the trigger for the problem is related to Comrade Chen Luo."

Comrade Chen Luo is currently in Sanya City, Hainan Province.

Secretary Li and I agreed to appoint Comrade Chen Luo as the head of the inspection team, and you as the deputy head, to cooperate with Comrade Chen Luo in thoroughly investigating the problems in Hai Province.

Is there a problem with this, Comrade Guofu?

Upon hearing that Chen Luo was the team leader, Tian Guofu's previously somewhat resentful eyes instantly lit up.

He couldn't be happier if Chen Luo came along.

The fact that the inspection team went to Hai Province is a sure sign that it was no small matter.

Moreover, Tong Daochi, a deputy provincial-level official, was only one link in the corruption chain, so one can imagine how great the resistance was.

If he were to lead a team to Hai Province to investigate the situation, the pressure would be no less than ever before, and perhaps even more difficult.

Besides, this isn't the first time I've been Chen Luo's deputy; there's nothing shameful about it. Others would never even have the chance.

"Secretary Li, Director Xiao, no problem at all. I will definitely cooperate with Comrade Chen Luo's work arrangements!"

“Alright, since there’s no problem, go ahead and find some staff for the inspection team. You can choose the people; I’m sure Comrade Chen Luo won’t mind.”

"Understood! Secretary Li, Director Xiao, I'll go right now!"

Tian Guofu left with a smile, but while he was happy, Chen Luo might not be able to smile.

At Sanya Airport, the return tickets had been booked in advance. Chen Luo had even taken Chen Zhengshu and the others to the airport, checked them in, and obtained their boarding passes to wait for their flight in the business class waiting area.

"Ladies and gentlemen, passengers on flight C... may board immediately..."

The announcement had already been made over the loudspeaker, and long queues of economy class passengers had formed.

Just then, Chen Luo's cell phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Chen Luo frowned.

"Hello, Secretary Li!"

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

Chen Luo glanced at the boarding gate where tickets were already being checked and replied very frankly, "Not very busy, I'm boarding now to return to Whale."

"Boarding?"

"Yes, Secretary Li."

"Ahem, well, Comrade Chen Luo, you don't need to go back to Jingzhou. You can stay in Hai Province..."

Chen Luo was stunned in an instant.

"Secretary Li, what would I do in Hai Province? I remember the current secretary of Hai Province was only transferred here a few months ago..."

"What are you thinking? I'm not asking you to stay in Hai Province as the Party Secretary. You're trying to take someone else's position, but they're not willing to accept it."

Yes, we now have some leads regarding the issue of Tongdao Pond, and it involves a wide range of areas.

There are quite a few people involved.

After discussing with several senior officials, we decided to undergo bone-scraping treatment to remove the poison.

Uproot all the corrupt officials who have been entrenched in Hai Province for so long, harming the people!

"What do you mean? Secretary Li, you're making me do this job again? I'm the Vice Minister in charge of the day-to-day work of the Central Propaganda Department, and the Director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, not someone from the Discipline Inspection Commission..."

"Stop! Comrade Chen Luo, I have to criticize you for saying that. There is no high or low in rank, only different division of labor."

"So you actually know about the concept of division of labor..."

"Just tell me, are you willing to do the work assigned to you by the organization?"

Are you willing to fight both the corrupt officials and the powerful for the sake of the tens of millions of people in Hainan Province?

"Since you've already said that, what else can I say?"

Chen Luo rolled her eyes and casually placed the bag she was carrying on the sofa.

"There's a lot to say, but in short, experience is the best teacher."

"It's clearly a case of 'higher rank crushing lower rank'..."

"Alright, I'm busy here, I won't tease you anymore. Comrade Tian Guofu has been appointed as the deputy leader of the inspection team. You two are old partners, I'll be waiting for your good news in Whale City."

After saying that, Secretary Li hung up the phone.

"Dad, whose phone is that? We can board now."

At this moment, Chen Zhengxi walked over pushing his suitcase.

Seeing this, Chen Luo shook his head and sighed.

"Girl, your dad can't leave now. You guys go back to Whale first."

"Huh!? Dad, why?"

Chen Luo smiled and pointed out the window.

"Of course, it's the people of Hai Province who need it."

Don't worry, your dad will only be staying in Hai Province for a few days, no more than half a month.

Chapter 527 Standing Committee Meeting - Directly Taken Away

Hearing this, Chen Zhengxi didn't ask any more questions and took the luggage from Chen Luo.

"Alright, Dad, my brother and I will wait for you to come back."

After saying that, Chen Zhengxi pushed his suitcase to the boarding gate to meet up with Chen Zhengshu and Li Xinyue.

When Chen Zhengshu and Li Xinyue turned around after hearing the news, Chen Luo had already disappeared from the waiting room.

Around 8 p.m. that evening, a plane flying from Whale City to Hainan Province arrived in Sanya.

There were no ordinary passengers on board, only the inspection team members, led by Tian Guofu, accompanied by technical staff and Hou Liangping.

The reason Tian Guofu chose Hou Liangping was simply because he was more comfortable using him.

"Secretary Tian, ​​should we go to the military sub-district and meet up with Secretary Chen first?"

Upon hearing Hou Liangping's question, Tian Guofu nodded.

"Of course, this time is different from the past. We don't need to go to the capital city of Hainan Province. We'll start the investigation with the Party Secretary of Sanya City."

At 9 p.m., Tian Guofu and his group arrived at the Sanya Military Sub-district. The situation in Hainan Province was different from that in Handong. For security reasons, it was safer to work inside the military sub-district.

As for Chen Luo, he had already been in the military region for a long time.

Office of the Political Commissar of the Military Sub-district.

Chen Luo sat on the sofa, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table. Tan Lin, the political commissar of the Sanya Military Sub-district, sat next to him, looking somewhat uneasy. A few hours earlier, after receiving orders from his superiors, he had personally driven to the airport to pick up Chen Luo and bring him back to the military region.

From the moment he got on the bus until now, apart from Chen Luo casually mentioning that he would talk to him later when he got off, he hadn't said a word.

The quieter it is, the more uneasy one feels.

"Minister Chen...I..."

Chen Luo raised his hand, signaling Tan Lin to be quiet.

He then calmly said, "You are the political commissar of the military sub-district in Sanya City, and also a member of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee. You must know something about the situation in Sanya."

I don't want to listen to your nonsense. The military has special inspectors in charge of anti-corruption work. What I want to ask you now is about Sanya and the situation at Tongdaochi.

Comrade Tan Lin, I hope you can answer truthfully.

Hearing this, Tan Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Minister Chen, please ask!"

I will answer all your questions to the best of my ability!

"What is Tong Daochi like during Standing Committee meetings?"

Chen Luo posed the first question.

After a moment's thought, Tan Lin replied, "Minister Chen, to be honest, Secretary Tong is very domineering. He has absolute authority in the Standing Committee meetings and his word is law."

Of course, this is largely due to the fact that Secretary Tong is a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and concurrently serves as the Secretary of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee. In ordinary times, once Secretary Tong makes a major decision, no one dares to disagree; conversely, if Secretary Tong disagrees, no one dares to propose it.

"My second question is, among the members of your Sanya Municipal Party Committee leadership team, is there anyone who is not part of Tong Daochi's faction?"

"Um... Minister Chen, there really is one!"

Wu Feng, the current Standing Committee Member of the Sanya Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Secretary, and Mayor of the Municipal Government, dares to contradict Secretary Tong.

Of course, the main reason is that Mayor Wu also has the support of provincial leaders.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo immediately stood up.

"That's enough, there's no need to ask anything else. Comrade Tan Lin, go back and rest early."

Chen Luo walked in front, and Tan Lin followed behind. This conversation was very important to Tan Lin.

For Chen Luo, it was simply a matter of assessing whether the situation in Sanya was suitable for publicly taking Tong Daochi away for interrogation.

After all, he is the Party Secretary of a major city. If forcibly taking him away for investigation causes delays in the work of Sanya City, it would be a loss that outweighs the gains.

However, now that there is a mayor who can challenge him, Chen Luo doesn't mind taking bigger steps.

Meanwhile, that same evening, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision officially notified the General Office of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee of the arrival of the inspection team in Hainan Province.

The Provincial Party Committee Compound, the No. 1 Courtyard of the Secretary.

In his study, Shen Xiaotian, the current Party Secretary of Hainan Province, was overjoyed after receiving the call from above.

"When you're sleepy, you find a pillow. I was worried because Hainan Province is a monolithic place, and it would take a lot of effort to clean up the house. But you, Tong Daochi, actually attracted the inspection team."

"Minister Chen and Director Tian from Whale City are still in charge!"

Thinking of this, Shen Xiaotian's smile never stopped, his heart pounding with excitement and his hands trembling.
