: Provisional Standing Committee Meeting!

Tian Guofu's heart skipped a beat, but he feigned ignorance and asked, "Secretary Sha, what do you mean?"

"We only have three days. The Ministry of Public Security's commendation results will be publicly announced in three days. We must apprehend Qi Tongwei before the announcement, or the consequences will be dire!"

Sha Ruijin gripped the interrogation results in his hand, his expression grim, and said, "Since these people refuse to confess, and it's not feasible to gather evidence from the bottom up, then we'll start from the top down, to make an example of them."

"Let's set aside their problems for now. Gao Yuliang's problems are crystal clear. Let's take him down first, and then go back to interrogate these people. I believe there will be much less resistance then!"

Sha Ruijin ordered, "Notify the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Committee that an emergency Standing Committee meeting be held tomorrow. The meeting will only involve one person... Gao Yuliang."

"Also, prepare evidence of Gao Yuliang's illegal and criminal activities!"

Tian Guofu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I'll go prepare right away!"

……

Meanwhile, Gao Yuliang received a call late at night from the provincial government office, saying that Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin had requested an additional meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee the next morning.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang, dressed in his pajamas and wearing a coat, sat on the sofa smoking, completely unable to fall asleep!

He knew that the most troublesome problem since his rebirth had arrived. If he could get through this trouble safely, then he would be free to fly like a bird in the sky and leap like a fish in the sea!

If we can't get through this, then there will be no future.

Teacher Wu seemed to sense something was amiss. He came down from the second floor, looked at Gao Yuliang quietly for a long time, and sighed, "Yuliang, is it really necessary to take this step?"

"If we don't take this step, the outcome is already predetermined." Gao Yuliang smiled at Teacher Wu and said gently, "Teacher Wu, if I can get through this, let's remarry."

Teacher Wu smiled and said, "Okay!"

The next morning, Gao Yuliang got up very early, turned over the ground in the yard again, and then got into his car to go to the provincial party committee compound.

On the way, Qi Tongwei called.

"Teacher, I received news that the Provincial Procuratorate arrested Gao Xiaoqin yesterday and also conducted surprise interrogations of Liu Xinjian, Zhao Ruilong, Zhao Xiaoqin, and Chen Qingquan!"

Gao Yuliang wasn't surprised by this and laughed, "Tongwei, the provincial procuratorate's arrest and interrogation of criminals is a standard judicial procedure; there's nothing wrong with it!"

"Teacher, this is what I'm thinking: we interrogated these four people yesterday, and today we're holding an emergency standing committee meeting. Could it be that they said something they shouldn't have?"

"Tongwei, don't be nervous. Remember what your teacher said. Even if it's just a small Standing Committee meeting, or even if one day I'm taken away by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, don't panic. It's all temporary, understand?"

"But I'm worried..."

Gao Yuliang interrupted, "What are you worried about? The sky isn't going to fall. As the Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, just do your job well, understand?"

"I understand, teacher!"

After hanging up the phone, the car arrived at the provincial party committee compound. Gao Yuliang had just gotten out of the car when he ran into Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the two walked side by side.

As Li Dakang walked, he asked, "Secretary Yuliang, what's the matter with the Provincial Party Committee adding this Standing Committee meeting on short notice?"

"Secretary Dakang, this emergency meeting was not decided by the Provincial Party Committee, but was convened by Secretary Sha. As for what it was about, I don't know either."

Li Dakang's eyes were filled with doubt as he asked incredulously, "Secretary Yuliang, even you didn't know?"

"Secretary Dakang, since you're here, make the best of it. You'll find out soon enough, won't you?" Gao Yuliang patted Li Dakang's arm and patiently comforted him.

At this moment, Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin also stepped over, jokingly asking, "Who's feeling uneasy?"

Li Dakang immediately responded with a fawning smile, "Secretary Sha, there's no unease. I received a call from the Provincial Office yesterday saying that there's something important to announce at today's Standing Committee meeting, and I was just curious."

Sha Ruijin's gaze swept over Li Dakang and landed on Gao Yuliang, his eyes crinkling into slits with laughter. "Secretary Yuliang, Li Dakang is curious about today's meeting content. Aren't you curious too?"

Gao Yuliang smiled as well, "Secretary Sha, I'm not curious. You'll find out soon enough, won't you?"

Sha Ruijin's gaze slid down to the thermos in Gao Yuliang's hand, and he said meaningfully, "Secretary Yuliang, make sure your thermos is full of water. You'd better speak up actively at today's meeting."

Gao Yuliang raised his thermos and replied, "Secretary Sha, don't worry, the thermos is full."

The three walked into the conference hall, chatting and laughing, each with their own thoughts. Many of the Standing Committee members from Handong Province had already arrived, and they were discussing something in twos and threes.

When they saw Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin and Deputy Provincial Party Secretary Gao Yuliang walk in, everyone quieted down.

However, as soon as Gao Yuliang entered the conference hall, he spotted Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate, sitting at the very end!

That's right, Hou Liangping didn't come; it was Ji Changming who came!

Gao Yuliang's lips curled up slightly. He wondered if Sha Ruijin was afraid that Hou Liangping would say something reckless, or if he was afraid that Hou Liangping would come and keep pressing the Lincheng incident, so he actually sent Ji Changming.

But for me, it doesn't matter who comes.

After a short wait, Governor Liu Zhendong arrived leisurely. All members of the Standing Committee of Handong Province were present, and the Standing Committee meeting officially began!

Sha Ruijin looked around before slowly saying, "I believe everyone is curious as to why this Standing Committee meeting was added at the last minute. I won't keep you in suspense; I'll tell you directly!"

"Just yesterday, the anti-corruption team of Handong Province uncovered a corruption case that implicates one of the Standing Committee members present here!"

Sha Ruijin glanced at Gao Yuliang without making a sound, then looked at Tian Guofu and said, "Secretary Tian, ​​as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, why don't you say something?"

"Alright, since Secretary Sha asked me to say it, then I will!"

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu picked up the conversation, speaking slowly and deliberately: "There is one person here who, without applying to the organization, divorced his first wife six years ago, then married a woman from Hong Kong for six years, and even had a big, healthy son!"

"Such a significant personal matter, yet they didn't even report it to the organization. They have absolutely no regard for the organization or the provincial party committee; their audacity can only be described as outrageous!"

The members of the Standing Committee present immediately erupted in uproar!

This is huge news! You have to know that everyone present is a centrally-managed cadre. Divorce and marriage require application and reporting to the Organization Department and the Provincial Party Secretary.

Such a lack of discipline is a major taboo in officialdom!

"Please hold your breath, everyone. I haven't finished yet; there's something even worse coming!"

Tian Guofu interrupted the conversation and continued, "According to the evidence we have, this person also established a HK$200 million trust fund for his son, and his wife, Gao Xiaoqin, a Hong Kong woman, is now involved in the 116 fire case!"

The conference room fell completely silent!

If the previous lack of organization and discipline only resulted in punishment, then the HK$200 million trust fund, plus Gao Xiaoqin's involvement in the 116 fire case!

This is not just a simple lack of organization and discipline, but a violation of the law, and should be investigated by the Party's internal party committee!

Everyone present remained silent, observing and speculating with each other, all curious about who this person was!

At this moment, Sha Ruijin looked at Gao Yuliang and smiled, "Secretary Yuliang, don't you want to say something?"
