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

Finally, the door was pushed open.

The person who walked into the courtyard was one of the people who had parked his supercar in front of Chen Zhengxi during the day.

Lin Xian is Lin Chaoliang's second grandson.

"Grandpa, my dad said you want to see me?"

Lin Xian had a smile on his face, but the smile quickly disappeared as he looked at the scene in the courtyard, which resembled a scene of a joint trial.

"Your Majesty!"

Lin Xian was stunned by Lin Chaoliang's rebuke.

"Grandpa, you?"

"I'll make you kneel down!"

Enraged, Lin Chaoliang stood up and brandished his whip, lashing out at Lin Xian without any mercy. The whip struck Lin Xian's back hard, instantly tearing his skin and flesh.

Although the Lin family members standing by were heartbroken, none of them dared to step forward to dissuade him. Instead, it was Lin Xian's father who trembled as he picked up his phone to take pictures.

Without giving Lin Xian a chance to explain, Lin Chaoliang whipped him for a full ten minutes before finally stopping and dropping the whip.

Panting heavily, he sat back down in the armchair, while Lin Xian, who had been struggling, was now motionless on the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still heaving, people would have thought he had been beaten to death.

"Dad, the video is all recorded."

Lin Chaoliang's son handed him the phone. After glancing at the recorded video, Lin Chaoliang couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"My son, do you blame me for being heartless as your grandfather?"

Lin Chaoliang's son fell silent upon hearing this. Looking at his son still lying on the ground in the yard, he, as a father, felt extremely distressed.

"Dad, you must have your reasons for doing this..."

"Ugh!"

Lin Chaoliang sighed, "Son, Xiaoxian really made a mistake this time, and it's a big one. That little bastard actually dared to collude with others to try to get Secretary Chen's daughter to set up a foundation!"

"That Secretary Chen?"

"Secretary Chen Luo of Donghai!"

hiss!

Lin Xian's father gasped, his face shifting from shock to fear, followed by relief.

Lin Jiayong glanced at his son, who had recovered somewhat, on the ground, his lips twitched, and he strode forward, picked up the whip from the ground, and without saying a word, gave him another beating!

A few minutes later, Lin Xian, who could still move a little, completely gave up struggling and let the whip fall on his body.

When he got tired of fighting, Lin Jiayong took out his phone and dialed the hospital.

The same scene played out not only in the Lin family, but also in other families. This kind of thing is like a thousand pounds if you don't weigh it, but if you do, it's like a thousand pounds. The key is whether Chen Luo or Secretary Li wants to investigate.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

At his home, Secretary Li watched the compiled videos. His expression was indifferent. If these second-generation rich kids aren't properly disciplined, they'll only cause more trouble in the future.

"These companies are willing to fight, but... Ma Xingguo is really ignoring it, he's not even replying to a message now!"

Secretary Li's gaze deepened.

The East China Sea, the same night, but a different atmosphere.

With Zhao Donglai's arrival, the political and legal system in Donghai is undergoing tremendous changes. First, the integration of the Provincial Public Security Department is accelerating, and the courts and procuratorates are quickly put into operation after their establishment.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Donghai, as the first phase of the crackdown on organized crime officially begins.

The provincial and municipal police departments mobilized thousands of officers, along with the armed police, to crack down on the three major gangs entrenched in Tai City.

During the live-fire cleanup operation, these gangs were swept away with overwhelming force.

After all, cross-strait travel has already been opened, and keeping these troublemakers around will always be a hidden danger.

In one night, over a thousand people were arrested, all of whom were core members of these gangs. As for the peripheral members, they were not the targets this time.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; these guys will act on their own.

At 3 a.m., Donghai concluded its crackdown on organized crime, while in a private hospital in Jingzhong, Lin Xian lay on one of the beds in an adjacent ward.

His body was wrapped in bandages, and he was lying face down on the bed. Even though his back was wrapped in bandages, bloodstains were still seeping out. His back was the most seriously injured part of his body.

Lin Jiayong sat on the edge of the bed, watching his son wake up, and said coldly, "Awake?"

Lin Xian's eyes were bloodshot.

"Dad, are you and Grandpa crazy? What did I do wrong that you two have to beat me like this..."

At this point, Lin Xian couldn't help but shed tears, which soaked her pillow.

"You little bastard, do you really not know? Let me tell you, you're not the only one lying in this hospital. The person in the next room is the son of the Vice Minister of Civil Affairs, and the person in the next room is the granddaughter of the former Governor of Ning Province."

Why are you people starting a foundation? Are you trying to use your family's influence to bribe and accept bribes?

Is this something you're capable of doing?!

Moreover, not only did you do it yourselves, but you also dared to harass Secretary Chen's daughter. I think you've got some nerve!

It's only because your grandfather isn't physically strong, and I couldn't bring myself to do it, otherwise I would have beaten you half to death!

Hearing this, Lin Xian fell silent.

Chapter 554 The Four Elements of Corruption

"Dad, I never thought things would turn out this way..."

Lin Xian closed her eyes and buried her head in the pillow.

"You haven't thought about it? There are plenty of things you haven't thought about!"

Let me tell you, this matter is not over yet. To put it mildly, your actions are just an attempt to recruit Secretary Chen's daughter into your scheme. To put it more seriously, this is a trap!

How can Secretary Chen be dragged down through his daughter?

If this matter escalates to that level, not even your grandfather could handle it, let alone you!

Hearing this, Lin Xian was truly frightened.

The next morning, in the Party Committee building of Donghai, on the seventh floor in the secretary's office, Chen Luo was reviewing the arrest report sent by the Provincial Public Security Department the night before when the phone on his desk rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Secretary Li.

"Hello, Secretary Li, good morning!"

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

Shaking his head, Chen Luo spoke the truth.

"It's alright, Secretary Li. Do you have any instructions?"

"It's not really an instruction. Yesterday afternoon, your Zhengxi came to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervisory Commission. I personally received Zhengxi."

"Oh? Secretary Li, you personally came forward?"

Chen Luo frowned.

"Well, the matter of Zhengxi being targeted by those little bastards has been basically resolved, but Comrade Chen Luo, do you know the specifics?"

"Secretary Li, I only know that someone wants to drag my daughter down to become a protector for corrupt officials, but I don't know the specific list of people involved. Does that mean there's a big fish in this?"

Secretary Li paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "The one leading the group is the grandson of Comrade Xingguo from Xinjiang Province!"

In addition, there are six other companies, including one affiliated with the State Administration for Market Regulation, the lowest of which is at the vice-provincial level.

"Secretary Li, you mean...?"

"Comrade Chen Luo, it's not impossible. You've just been transferred to Donghai and are a newly promoted cabinet member. Plus, you're only forty-eight. You could say that whoever gets on your side will have a reliable backer for the next twenty years."

“Secretary Li, as you know, I don’t like these cliques and factional struggles.”

Upon hearing this, Secretary Li rolled his eyes.

"Some people say they don't like it, but they still promote one batch of young people after another at breakneck speed..."

"Ahem, Secretary Li, that's different. I'm cultivating and reserving talent for the organization, which is also serving the people. I have no selfish motives."

"You know it yourself, so let's not talk about this matter. Chen Luo, the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow. There are some things you can't avoid. Even we cadres have our own circles."

When everyone else is drunk and you are the only one sober, the outcome is often not good; when the world is corrupt and you are the only one pure, the same applies.

Those who have already fallen will be jealous and will try every means to turn you into the same kind of person. Be careful from now on!

"Secretary Li, I understand. There are only a few reasons why people fall into depravity."

Firstly, I do not shy away from the issue of power, and I enjoy the feeling of having great power. However, I am very clear that my power comes from the Party and the people, and my desire for power is also for the purpose of giving back to the Party and the people!

It is absolutely impossible for me to be tempted by power to make mistakes or do things that go against the fundamental interests of the Party and the people!

Secondly, regarding wealth, I can say without exaggeration that I am not interested in money and have never touched it.

"Given my spouse's and my abilities, earning money through legitimate means far outpaces bribery and corruption. The fact that we donate hundreds of millions of yuan to charity every year speaks volumes!"

Hearing this, Secretary Li felt a little sour.

“Um…you don’t need to emphasize it. I know your family is rich. Just yesterday, Zhengxi said that she couldn’t spend all her money in ten lifetimes.”

"Haha, Secretary Li, the third is lust. Honestly, when you encounter a young and beautiful woman..."

I will look at her with appreciative eyes, but to think that I will be infatuated with her beauty is wishful thinking.

"I'm forty-eight already. If I were going to be addicted, I would have been by now. I can't afford to be in such a bad state now... cough cough."

Upon hearing this topic, Secretary Li immediately became interested.

"Chen Luo, speaking of beauty... back then, you really weren't tempted by Ye Ziqing from the Ye family?"

Hearing this, Chen Luo was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and replied, "Secretary Li, I really wasn't tempted. Ye Ziqing's identity is quite special. I knew back then that you shouldn't force yourself into a circle you can't fit into."

Therefore, they were basically always being rejected...

"Hahaha, you little rascal, but it's too late to say anything now, what's done is done!"

"Yes, Secretary Li, time flies. The last one is also the root cause of the downfall of most cadres."
