Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 283 Investigating Luo Jian

At the latest provincial key project coordination meeting.

The National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have called for the Guangming Peak project to be completed as soon as possible.

Other departments expressed their approval and pledged to provide maximum support for the project.

When Li Dakang received this news.

A strange expression appeared on his face.

His biggest wish is to advance the project.

But will those people agree?

Moreover, the province suddenly proposed to fully promote the project.

What does that mean?

Could it be that they're using the guise of promoting the project to secretly investigate its internal workings?

Nevertheless, the province's demands had to be obeyed.

Li Dakang decided to suppress the matter and first cooperate with the province to advance the project.

At the provincial level, Sha Ruijin, Xia Qing, and Tian Guofu are having a new discussion.

Currently, by spreading false information that Ding Yizhen is dead, they have successfully deceived Luo Jian and Li Dakang.

The decision now is...

Using the evidence provided by Ding Yizhen, they launched a full-scale attack on the Guangmingfeng project, thereby taking down Li Dakang.

Let Li Dakang push the Guangming Peak project first, and then turn your attention to the three major families.

The two options have different costs and vastly different returns.

If we want to completely eradicate the cancer in Handong...

The second option will definitely be chosen.

But the risk factor is also higher.

The first option would allow them to take down Li Dakang almost immediately.

But that would prevent us from addressing the root cause and eradicating the cancer.

This led to a heated discussion between Xia Qing and Tian Guofu.

Tian Guofu was rather conservative. He believed that the opportunity was rare and that he would definitely be able to take down Li Dakang based on the evidence provided by Ding Yizhen.

Subsequently, we will appeal to higher authorities to appoint a trustworthy comrade as the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and work closely with the province to find weaknesses in the three major families and gradually take action.

Without a doubt, this is the safest and most solid approach at present.

Xia Qing firmly opposed it.

He raised two questions.

First, Li Dakang is gone, and Liu Dakang has come along. What about Wang Dakang?

Secondly, Luo Jian is safe and sound. It is known that he is a member of the Zhou family. It is definitely not a good thing to leave him in Handong like this.

Tian Guofu sneered:

"Secretary Xia means to wipe out Li Dakang, Zhao Lichun, and Luo Jian in one fell swoop, and drive out all three major families? Remember, don't bite off more than you can chew."

Xia Qing ignored Tian Guofu's sarcasm and turned to Sha Ruijin, analyzing the pros and cons:

"Secretary Sha, let me give you an example. The evidence Ding Yizhen provided is a powerful weapon that could secure victory. If we use it to attack Li Dakang, the Zhao, Luo, and the three major families hiding behind him can provide support to Li Dakang without any scruples, trapping us here. Don't forget, where is the battlefield? Jingzhou City. No matter how the battle goes, they can easily withdraw. At most, we can take down Li Dakang, but who will ultimately suffer? Isn't it the GDP of Jingzhou and even Handong!"

After a pause, Xia Qing emphasized:

"In this way, it has become a proxy war that the United States loves most!"

Sha Ruijin was taken aback, and looked at Xia Qing with a complicated expression.

Xia Qing's analogy was just right; it resonated with him.

As the provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin bears the inescapable responsibility if the situation described by Xia Qing were to occur.

Therefore, Xia Qing's plan, though seemingly risky, may be more in line with the overall situation!

After careful consideration, Sha Ruijin said in a deep voice:

"Secretary Xia, if we adopt your plan, what should be the next step?"

"Secretary Sha!" Tian Guofu said anxiously upon seeing this, but Sha Ruijin raised his hand to stop him.

Xia Qing pondered for a moment, then said:

"The province has already issued instructions to advance the Guangming Peak project. There will inevitably be a rift between Li Dakang and Zhao Lichun, as well as the three major families, over whether the project should proceed or not. We should be able to hold them off for a while. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we should shift our focus and take over the Zhou family's stronghold first."

Xia Qing took out a list of members of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and pointed his slender finger at a photo of one of them.

Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu went over to take a look.

Xia Qing counted Luo Jian!

"Notify the Provincial Procuratorate to review Luo Jian's previous actions, including organizing a joint task force to obstruct the investigation, intentionally blocking evidence, and protecting suspects."

Xia Qing said confidently:

"Once Luo Jian is investigated, Zhou Wen will definitely take action. We'll find a breakthrough here."

Sha Ruijin exclaimed:

"Excellent! This opens up a battlefield against Luo Jian and Zhou Wen, distracts the main battlefront in the Bright Zone, and buys Jing Wen and Lu Yike time for their investigation!"

Xia Qing nodded.

Seeing this, Tian Guofu could only helplessly say:

"Alright, since you two have made this decision, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will fully cooperate."

Xia Qing looked out the window and smiled:

"The show is about to begin."

……

The next day.

The Handong Provincial Procuratorate has officially launched an investigation into Luo Jian's various inexplicable and suspicious actions in the case of Bai Jingwen's framing.

Ren Luojian stated that he had nothing to do with it, that it was just poor command, and that he had already made a self-criticism.

The prosecutor's office remained unmoved and continued its investigation.

With nowhere left to retreat, Luo Jian revealed his trump card.

Investigating members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee requires approval from higher authorities.

The provincial procuratorate has no authority to investigate.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Hai, who had experienced similar incidents before, remained completely calm.

After issuing the provincial documents, he also reported to Chief Prosecutor Zheng Rutie.

Zheng Rutie stated that an application has been submitted to the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the relevant approval is being processed.

But the investigation will not stop.

If Luo Jian is dissatisfied, he can sue himself or Sha Ruijin.

Now, Luo Jian was truly panicked.

Such a strong response made him realize that the visitor had ill intentions.

He immediately contacted Zhou Wen, seeking refuge.

Zhou Wenzheng was dissatisfied with Li Dakang's unauthorized advancement of the Guangming Peak project and discussed it with Zhao Lichun.

Hearing Luo Jian's request, he was annoyed but had no choice but to comply.

Luo Jian was the right person Zhou Wen selected in Handong Province. The two were symbiotic entities where power and capital mutually benefited each other, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

If Luo Jian is lost, Zhou Wen will probably have to consider withdrawing from Handong ahead of time.

This is not what he wanted to see.

In response, Zhou Wen immediately made arrangements to deal with the provincial investigation.

Zhou Wen immediately assigned the top-notch legal team that Changlong Group had been cooperating with for many years to provide Luo Jian with legal advice on a pro bono basis under the title of "Group Legal Counsel".

Instead of committing perjury, they instructed Luo Jian and his cronies on how to answer the investigation in a standardized manner, how to find procedural flaws or weak points in the chain of evidence from the existing evidence, and how to drag the investigation into the quagmire of professional details.

Next, technical means will be used to erase all possible direct communication records between Luo Jian and Li Dakang, Ou Ming, and Wu Tianliang.

Unless there is evidence of direct contact, Luo Jian's various suspicious behaviors in Bai Jingwen's framing case can be explained as "misjudgment and mismanagement".

At the same time, Zhou Wen has begun using the Zhou family's influence to find a suitable candidate in Jingzhou City to serve as Luo Jian's scapegoat.

After much deliberation, Zhou Wen set his sights on one of Luo Jian's confidants, the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, who was also the one whose private meeting with Zhou Wen's legal advisor was filmed by the provincial authorities during the joint task force work.

As long as we bring up this confidant again, we can resolve the issue.

It was emphasized that this was his personal behavior.

Luo Jian could then escape safely.
