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

You're sweating so nervously because you're afraid of vomiting something wrong.

Once you're inside this door, honestly confessing is considered turning yourself in.

Continuing to conceal and resist will only lead to worse results. Since our inspection team has come, we cannot leave empty-handed.

I hope you understand this...

Liu Xintai remained silent, as did Zhang Qi, but Tong Daochi was the only one who laughed at this moment.

"Minister Chen, let me go first."

Over the years, I have committed many violations of discipline and law.

Whether it was helping my son resolve his troubles or accepting bribes and using his position to amass wealth.

Each and every one of these acts violates laws and regulations, and I am willing to plead guilty and accept punishment!

Tong Daochi was quite calm; given the current situation, there was no point in continuing to resist.

It's even more impossible to expect the old Party Secretary to bail people out... It would be good enough if the inspection team didn't take down the old Party Secretary along with everyone else.

Tong Daochi quickly explained his situation, though he held back some details.

However, the remaining issues concern Luo Baolin, Liu Xintai, and Zhang Qi.

He still chose to take full responsibility himself.

Tong Daochi was quickly taken away by staff for a detailed statement.

Chen Luo didn't continue playing games with Zhang Qi and the other man. It was fine if they didn't want to confess; the evidence wouldn't lie.

The situation in Hai Province is clearly not just a matter of Tong Daochi, but should all three Standing Committee members be removed at the same time?

Remove a retired Party Secretary who has stepped down from his post?

Chen Luo didn't want to dwell on this matter. He had already done all the work, so what did he need Secretary Li for?

Of course, the evidence should be secured and handed over to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and Secretary Li, so that the CCDI can consider whether to remove it at the same time.

Evening, Hainan Provincial Military Region.

In addition to dealing with the problems of senior officials, the inspection team also needs to deal with some middle and lower-level officials.

The letters of complaint arrived like snowflakes. Hou Liangping hadn't slept for twenty hours, spending his time either gathering evidence or making arrests.

In the detention room, Tong Daochi was sitting in a chair, with Chen Luo and Tian Guofu opposite him.

"You're quite loyal; you tried to shoulder all the problems by yourself."

Tian Guofu got straight to the point, exposing Tong Daochi's attempt to take the blame for all the problems.

Tong Daochi shook his head.

"Director Tian, ​​I acknowledge all the problems. Continuing the investigation would cause too much pain and have a terrible impact on Hainan Province."

"You mean it ends with you?"

"I hope this ends here."

"Then your hopes will be dashed. Our inspection team has already figured out the equity structure of Baoming Group. Luo Baolin's son owns more than half of it."

Your son, Zhang Qi's wife, and Liu Xintai's daughter each hold 15%, while the professional manager and other miscellaneous people hold the remaining 5%.

We investigate issues based on evidence. Do you think you can take all the blame?

Tong Daochi fell silent.

"Minister Chen, may I request permission to make a phone call to my parents?"

Chen Luo nodded and waved, and the staff returned Tong Daochi's phone to him.

Taking a deep breath, Tong Daochi dialed his elderly mother's number.

The call was answered after two attempts.

"Hey, mom!"

Tong Daochi's voice trembled slightly.

"Daochi, it's so late, why are you calling? You're a high-ranking official, and you're very busy. I already called during the day. Your father and I are both in good health, so you don't need to worry about us so often."

"Mom! Your son is unfilial!"

"Daochi, what nonsense are you talking about! Have you run into trouble at work? Don't worry, we'll overcome any difficulties. You're always our pride and joy!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Daochi was already in tears...

Chapter 532 The victor is king, the loser is villain; a bet is a bet.

"Mom, your son has done something wrong."

It's too late to turn back now.

From now on, you and Dad must take good care of yourselves.

My secretary will visit you two often; you can ask him for help if you encounter any difficulties.

Upon hearing this, the mother's heart skipped a beat.

Both of them were veterans who had worked their way up in the system for decades, and Tong's mother was well aware of the huge change in her son's tone during their two phone calls.

The old lady's tone became flustered.

Daochi... are you alright now?

"Mom, don't worry, I'm safe now!"

Tong Daochi glanced at Tian Guofu and Chen Luo sitting in front of him, trying to soothe his mother's emotions.

"Where's Xiao Kun?"

Just then, Tong's mother inquired about her eldest grandson.

Tong Daochi fell silent for a moment.

"Mom, Xiaokun has gone abroad..."

Tong Daochi fabricated a lie. He knew all too well how long his son would be sentenced for the outrageous things he had done. Sending his son abroad to leave his father with a memento was the last thing he could do.

"You went abroad?"

The old lady was clearly skeptical...

"Alright, Mom, that's enough for now. Remember to take good care of yourself from now on... I'm hanging up now."

After saying that, Tong Daochi forced himself to hang up the phone despite the excruciating pain in his heart.

She squeezed out her tears, letting them flow freely from her eyes, and then forced a smile as she looked at Tian Guofu and Chen Luo.

"Minister Chen, Director Tian, ​​I'm sorry to have made you both laugh. Before the inspection team arrived, I always thought of myself as a dutiful son."

From a junior staff member to a deputy provincial-level official, every time my parents talk about me with outsiders...

His eyes were filled with pride.

"After the news of my downfall comes out, I can't even imagine whether my parents will be able to handle it..."

Tian Guofu shook his head.

"If only you had known this would happen... Tong Daochi, you are not the first deputy provincial-level official we have investigated, nor will you be the last."

You all have one thing in common: you only realized your mistakes after the evidence was irrefutable. Rather than saying it was too late to regret, it's more accurate to say that the victor is king and the loser is villain.

If the inspection team doesn't come and the evidence isn't found, you'll remain the same as before.

That arrogant, domineering, and autocratic Party Secretary of Sanya!

Therefore, we will not be moved or pity you for your crocodile tears.

"You deserved to be beaten, so stand at attention!"

Just then, Chen Luo's phone rang.

I picked it up and looked at it, and wow, it's from Secretary Li!

Without trying to hide it from anyone, Chen Luo answered the phone directly.

"Hello, Secretary Li."

"Comrade Chen Luo, we are aware of the situation that occurred in Hai Province during the day. You did a very good job."

It was even beyond our expectations.

One person stood in front of the table and managed to sternly reprimand the entire Standing Committee of Hainan Province, leaving them too afraid to even breathe.

Wow, that's amazing!

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo rolled his eyes.

“Secretary Li, what you’re saying sounds a bit sarcastic. I’m carrying out radical reforms in Hai Province according to your and the organization’s instructions. You tell me if it’s effective or not.”

"As for the results... well, it's like we've thoroughly tested everything."

It's so-so. If we could also give Shen Xiaotian and the governor of Hai Province a good talking-to, we'd have a much easier time."

"Come on, Secretary Li, your demands are too high."

They're at the same rank as me. If they're giving me face, I'm the head of the inspection team; if they're not, what am I?

"Alright, I'm not joking with you anymore. I've already seen the investigation materials and exchanged opinions with the other elders. As for Whale City, Luo Baolin has already had the staff of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervisory Commission secretly take them away."

As for the situation in Hainan Province… the materials involve quite a few people, and it would be difficult to replace them all in a short time if they were all removed.”

"Stop! Secretary Li, how to handle this is a matter for you and the organization to consider. My job is simply to investigate the truth."

"Hey, we're training you, don't be ungrateful!"

"If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper..."

"Well, so you're trying to ask the organization for help?"

Chen Luo shook his head.

"Secretary Li, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"It's hard to say..."
