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

Chapter 95 concludes.



Chapter 95 concludes.

Zhao Ruilong, furious, had just parked his luxury car in front of Qi Tongwei's house.

The phone rang.

After Zhao Ruilong answered the phone, Zhao Lichun's tired voice came from the other end:

"Ruilong, this matter concerning Qi Tongwei ends here. Do not speak up for Du Bozhong, and do not bring up any more of Qi Tongwei's incriminating evidence. From now on, he will only be the Director of the Public Security Bureau, no longer your retainer."

Zhao Ruilong listened in disbelief, his eyes widening in disbelief as he continued to fum.

What happened?

Did the old man speak up for Qi Tongwei?

Does this mean they're preparing to give up control over Qi Tongwei?

How is that possible!

The old man must have lost his mind!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruilong said decisively on the phone:

"Dad! Qi Tongwei is planning to switch sides and even ruin Du Bozhong's business! Du Bozhong was my former business partner, after all. How can Qi Tongwei save face like this!"

"Enough! Do you really think I don't know what you're doing? You and Du Bozhong are involved in colluding with foreign forces to smuggle officials with family members abroad. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?!" Zhao Lichun rebuked him coldly.

"Your case is now in their hands! You let Qi Tongwei go, and they'll let you go—that's the only way!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Does the old man know?

Those high-risk businesses that he and Du Bozhongqian were involved in?

and……

Did the evidence end up in Qi Tongwei's hands?

Damn it, that bastard Du Bozhong actually left those pieces of evidence at the agency, and Qi Tongwei managed to get his hands on them!

Now, Zhao Ruilong was completely on the defensive.

Once this evidence is handed over, not only will Zhao Ruilong be finished, but the entire Zhao family will be doomed immediately.

This must never happen.

Zhao Ruilong calmed down completely. After hesitating for a long time, he asked:

"Dad...is this Gao Yuliang's idea? To use me to get Qi Tongwei off the ship and find another backer..."

"It's good that you understand. The provincial-level official we helped to promote, the head of the entire province's public security force, has essentially been doing all the work for someone else." Zhao Lichun sighed, saying helplessly:

"Go and cooperate. Hand over what you have on Qi Tongwei to Gao Yuliang... He'll work around it and pin the blame for both your and Qi Tongwei's situation on Du Bozhong..."

After saying this, Zhao Lichun paused, then added:

"In the end, you've misjudged your place. Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei are helpers supported by the Zhao family, but you've treated yourself as their master... With Sha Ruijin's arrival and the Zhong family's moves into Handong, instead of thinking about uniting with the Handong University gang to fight back, you're just engaging in infighting... Sigh."

Zhao Ruilong is arrogant, but he's not stupid.

Listening to his father's words, Zhao Ruilong began to reflect on himself.

Indeed, during this sensitive period when his father left Handong and Sha Ruijin and the Zhong family were coming on strong, he had to rebuild the political network left by his father in order to survive the joint attack from Sha Ruijin and the Zhong family.

At the same time, Zhao Ruilong also remembered.

The bombshell given to Sha Ruijin had to be kept from being revealed by Gao Yuliang.

If we can take down Sha Ruijin, we can force him to withdraw from Handong.

This Handong is still the old man's Handong, the Zhao family's Handong!

Nothing will change.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Ruilong earnestly said over the phone:

"Dad, I know I was wrong. I'll go find Secretary Yuliang right now and have a good talk with him."

"This child is teachable. Remember, if they all fall, Handong will be out of control. If Handong is out of control, the Zhao family will also..."

Zhao Lichun did not continue.

Zhao Ruilong naturally understood.

He got back into his car and called Gao Yuliang.

……

A few days later.

After collecting evidence of illegal and criminal activities by Bozhong Real Estate Agency, the Public Security Bureau transferred the case to the Procuratorate for prosecution.

Its boss, Du Bozhong, has been charged with more than ten crimes and has become an internationally wanted criminal.

The matter involving Qi Tongwei and Zhao Ruilong has also faded away like smoke.

All past connections between Qi Tongwei, Shanshui Group, and Zhao Ruilong are now wiped clean.

The business dealings between Zhao Ruilong and Du Bozhong also ceased to exist.

Everything was as if it had never happened.

Next, Handong will report to the Ministry of Public Security and, through the Ministry's National Central Bureau, request assistance from Interpol to conduct a global manhunt for Du Bozhong and the foreign forces behind him.

The work that needed to be done by Handong can be said to have come to an end.

The results were tremendous.

First, let's talk about Xia Qing. He led the public security, auditing, and procuratorial forces to complete the investigation and handling of officials in the Handong jurisdiction through a special campaign to investigate officials, officials, and procuratorial cadres. This demonstrated the Organization Department's precise measures on cadre issues.

Meanwhile, based on the special investigation, an overseas organization engaged in the business of dealing with officials whose spouses and children are abroad was uncovered in the Handong area, and Du Bozhong, the middleman of the organization in Handong, was identified.

They dismantled a brokerage company used by Du Bozhong as a cover, which was actually a way to connect corrupt officials with foreign powers, and uncovered a large number of lists and evidence.

This set an excellent example not only for Handong, but also for the whole country in investigating corrupt officials and cracking down on foreign forces.

One can imagine the tremendous reaction and the immense affirmation that would be generated when Xia Qing's experience materials and summary report were submitted to higher authorities.

As for the propaganda offensive, including the rumor that Xia Qing was also a "naked official" (an official whose family members have emigrated abroad).

The official website of Handong has endorsed Xia Qing; the rest can be left to time.

Xia Qing would also request commendations from the several units where he worked.

The cadres in Handong all believe one fact.

Minister Xia Qing is very capable.

Those who work with him will surely have good things happen to them.

Handong was immersed in joy.

However, one person was not happy.

Hou Liangping sat in his office, surrounded by smoke.

I smoked three packs of cigarettes in one morning.

Hou Liangping learned this from Ji Changming.

The Organization Department was very satisfied with Chen Hai's cooperation and commended him.

The institute plans to promptly reward the individuals who participated in this special project organized by the Organization Department, and will submit the application to the Organization Department for approval.

Starting with a second-class merit award.

Chen Hai himself was acting on Xia Qing's instructions.

He is expected to have his punishment lifted, be reinstated, and return to his position as director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

It is said that the treatment of a deputy chief prosecutor, equivalent to that of a department-level official, will also be addressed.

At this point, Hou Liangping was completely unsettled.

Chen Hai investigated Ouyang Qing with him, and he was fine, but Chen Hai was demoted.

Chen Hai has now been reinstated to his original position.

How could I possibly have a chance to become the head of the anti-corruption bureau!

This parachuted-in cadre is so undignified!

Hou Liangping recalled that a few days ago when he went to Bozhong Real Estate Agency, he was in the dark when police officers from the Public Security Bureau suddenly appeared, grabbed him on both sides, and threw him into the Anti-Corruption Bureau's car.

Around him, colleagues such as Lu Yike and Zhou Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

This is an utter disgrace!

It must be Qi Tongwei's idea!

Did he think that by following Gao Yuliang and then Xia Qing, he could achieve great success?

In the end, you're just a gigolo who sells his dignity by kneeling before women!

Do you really think you can be compared to Hou Liangping, a master investigator?

Just wait, once I break through the Shanshui Group and the Oil and Gas Group, I will definitely find something to use against you!

Just then, Lu Yike called the office:

"Hey, Hou Liangping. We've made a breakthrough! We've found evidence that Liu Xinjian, the boss of the oil and gas group, embezzled state-owned assets! Over the years, he's transferred 700 million yuan to Huilong Group!"

"What!" Hou Liangping was both surprised and delighted, completely ignoring that Lu Yike called him by his name, and rushed out impatiently.
