EFB Chapter 104 Deadly Strike
Chapter 104 Deadly Strike
Gao Yuliang's words brought the meeting to a new climax.
This is the third-in-command openly challenging the top leader!
Sha Ruijin had no idea that Gao Yuliang, who had been yielding all along, would suddenly become a completely different person.
However, years of smooth sailing have fostered in Sha Ruijin a stubborn and autocratic personality.
Faced with Gao Yuliang's sharp rebuttal, Sha Ruijin calmly stated:
"Alright, go ahead. My comrades and I are eager to hear what brilliant ideas you, Professor, have to offer."
A slight smile played on Gao Yuliang's lips as he calmly spoke:
"Just now, Secretary Sha accused me of protecting Qi Tongwei and Chen Qingquan. Here, I request the Discipline Inspection Commission to conduct a special investigation into Qi Tongwei to see if he has any problems. As for Chen Qingquan, I think Secretary Sha seems to have misunderstood something. Chen Qingquan was only my secretary; he did not sign a contract of servitude with me. It is unfair of him to keep bringing up our past working relationship."
Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu was taken aback.
Did he proactively request the disciplinary committee to investigate Qi Tongwei?
Why is Gao Yuliang so tough?
Although the disciplinary committee's investigation into Qi Tongwei never stopped, it never managed to find any concrete evidence, coupled with Gao Yuliang's tough attitude.
Tian Guofu couldn't help but waver.
After listening to Gao Yuliang's speech, Sha Ruijin sneered:
"It's true that you and Chen Qingquan don't work together anymore, but your influence on him is profound! Don't you care at all about his mistakes? Besides, as your former secretary, Gao Yuliang, wouldn't that title have brought him advantages? I think it's precisely because he was your secretary that he had the opportunity to be arrogant and domineering in Handong, ultimately leading to his mistakes!"
Gao Yuliang smiled disdainfully, glanced at Li Dakang, and said:
"I understand. Secretary Sha is saying that Chen Qingquan is my incarnation. If the incarnation makes a mistake, the original body cannot escape responsibility."
Li Dakang was on the verge of tears, staring blankly at the notebook in front of him.
Do you have to include me in every single sentence you say?
"Since Secretary Sha said that Chen Qingquan, who worked with me, is my alter ego, then..."
Gao Yuliang changed the subject and said:
"So, Secretary Sha met with Hou Liangping, who was parachuted in from the Supreme People's Procuratorate, right? I remember publicly stating that he fully and unconditionally supported any case-handling actions Hou Liangping took, hoping he would properly 'cure' Handong. And what happened? This Comrade Hou Liangping has repeatedly violated regulations in handling cases! First, he received a major demerit, then he was given a 're-education and rectification'... So I would like to ask Secretary Sha, isn't Hou Liangping your alter ego? He even arrested the wife of a provincial standing committee member in the street; was he carrying out your will?"
Gao Yuliang's words made Sha Ruijin very uneasy!
Before he could retort, Gao Yuliang immediately waved his hand and said:
"Please let me finish. Now, thanks to Secretary Sha's guidance, I've finally figured it out: Hou Liangping did all these things because of Secretary Sha's profound influence on him! You could even say that it was precisely because of the provincial party secretary's open support that he had the opportunity to run rampant in Handong, ultimately earning a major demerit!"
"Snap!" As soon as Gao Yuliang finished speaking, a crisp sound came from Sha Ruijin's side.
Everyone looked over quickly and saw that Sha Ruijin had his arms crossed over his chest and the pencil had been broken in half!
Seeing this, Tian Guofu hurriedly said sternly:
"Comrade Yuliang! What are you saying? Don't label people randomly!"
"Look at you, in such a hurry again." Gao Yuliang smiled faintly, glanced disdainfully at Tian Guofu, and then turned to the crowd, saying:
"I say this from a comrade's perspective, as a well-intentioned reminder to Comrade Ruijin. I sincerely hope that Comrade Ruijin can lead our team well and make Handong a resounding success. By the way, I propose that today's meeting be used as a model for implementing democratic centralism and promoted externally!"
At this moment, Sha Ruijin looked ashen-faced.
He never imagined that a campaign would be launched to suppress Gao Yuliang, and then to recruit him into the government, while simultaneously putting pressure on the democratic life meetings of every member of the Standing Committee.
It turned out that they were completely at a disadvantage.
What's wrong? What's going on today?
Why did the situation get completely out of control?
That's impossible!
I am the one in charge.
Where is there a precedent of being scolded to the nose by a deputy secretary in a meeting?
Doesn't that mean Gao Yuliang is the real leader?
If things continue like this, not to mention that the prestige of the provincial party secretary will be greatly diminished.
The work in Handong was a task assigned by superiors.
Should we still do it?
How am I supposed to explain this to Grandpa Ni?
Sha Ruijin became increasingly anxious as he thought about it, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Governor Liu leaned forward and asked in a low voice:
"Comrade Ruijin, how about... we adjourn the meeting?"
Sha Ruijin remained silent.
He knew that announcing the adjournment of the meeting at this point would be no different from raising a white flag and surrendering.
We absolutely cannot disband now.
Even if it means tearing each other apart to the point of a full-blown conflict.
We must never fall in front of Gao Yuliang!
With this in mind, Sha Ruijin launched his final, desperate counterattack:
"Comrade Yuliang! There are some things I wanted to say but didn't, but now it seems I have to. You attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Shanshui Group and visited the Shanshui Group many times, right? What is your relationship with them? And Qi Tongwei, he has invested in the Shanshui Group, hasn't he? This is going to cause big problems!"
Sha Ruijin's words dropped another bombshell in the conference room!
The head of the Public Security Bureau has invested in a company!
This is an absolute matter of principle!
Such crucial evidence was actually in the hands of Sha Ruijin.
Now, Gao Yuliang has been driven to a dead end.
The Standing Committee members discussed the matter animatedly, and some couldn't help but sigh.
The meeting had been going on for a while, and the situation was initially one-sided, but it was completely reversed by Sha Ruijin's most lethal contingency plan.
Gao Yuliang's efforts have been in vain.
It seems that Qi Tongwei's application to become the vice-governor has completely fallen through.
Sha Ruijin looked at Gao Yuliang with a weary yet smug expression, like a victor.
Gao Yuliang, however, did not show the panic one might expect.
His expression remained calm as usual, even showing a hint of relaxed composure.
Only Xia Qing understood that the last trump card Sha Ruijin played had already been a useless card months ago.
Before the special operation began, Qi Tongwei had already sold all his shares.
Do you think we can wait for you, Sha Ruijin, to come and nitpick?
Xia Qing looked at Sha Ruijin with some sympathy; failure was already inevitable.
Gao Yuliang took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"Comrade Ruijin, I reiterate that I welcome the Discipline Inspection Commission to launch any investigation into Qi Tongwei at any time. If there is even the slightest problem, I will not cover it up and will deal with it severely. However, if there is no problem, I also hope that you will stop pursuing Qi Tongwei. It is unfair to a good cadre and a good policeman."
Sha Ruijin did not expect Gao Yuliang to answer like that!
He asked, trembling:
"You, you're just putting on a brave face! Qi Tongwei, he can't possibly..."
Gao Yuliang said expressionlessly:
"Comrade Ruijin. Since you kindly reminded me of Qi Tongwei's investment, let me also kindly remind you of something, which is also about investment."
Upon hearing the word "investment," Tian Guofu was taken aback!
Could it be that……
Gao Yuliang put his glasses back on the table, his usual smile returning, and slowly began to speak:
"Your adoptive father, Chen Yanshi, is the largest shareholder of Dafeng Factory besides Cai Chenggong."
