Chapter 19

Secretary Sha, what was your position 6 years ago?

Countless eyes turned to look at them during the Standing Committee meeting.

Those who can become members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee are certainly not fools. At such a sensitive time, it is obvious what the situation is when Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin asked Gao Yuliang to say something.

What surprised the provincial party committee members was that Gao Yuliang seemed completely unsurprised...

"Then I'll say it!"

Gao Yuliang placed his hands on the table and looked at Tian Guofu: "Secretary Tian, ​​the person you just mentioned who divorced six years ago and remarried a Hong Kong woman six years ago, who is this Hong Kong woman? Gao Xiaoqin, right?"

Tian Guofu nodded, saying with certainty, "That's right. According to the evidence we have, this Hong Kong woman is indeed Gao Xiaoqin, the general manager of the Shanshui Group, and also a person involved in the 116 fire incident!"

"If it's Gao Xiaoqin, then I have no other questions."

Gao Yuliang's lips curled into a sneer as he passionately declared, "First of all, everyone here is a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and a cadre under the direct management of the Central Committee. I believe that such important personal matters as divorce and marriage must be reported to the Organization Department and the Provincial Party Secretary. This is beyond question."

"I have no idea who among you here has divorced or remarried without permission, showing no regard for the organization, the provincial party committee, the country, or the people. This is an extremely serious violation of laws and regulations and must be severely punished!"

"Secondly, what Secretary Tian of the Discipline Inspection Commission said—that a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee established a HK$200 million trust fund for his son—is an even more serious crime. To embezzle and accept bribes of HK$200 million while married—what more can be said?"

"Finally, I want to warn everyone here: now that things have come to this, whoever married Gao Xiaoqin, and whoever set up a HK$200 million trust fund for their son, should quickly step forward and explain the situation. Stop pretending now."

"Secretary Sha of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary Tian of the Discipline Inspection Commission haven't named anyone yet, which is giving you a chance to clarify things. Seize this opportunity, cooperate with the Provincial Party Committee and the Discipline Inspection Commission, and don't knowingly break the law again and add to your crimes!"

After speaking, Gao Yuliang unscrewed the thermos, took a small sip, and looked at Sha Ruijin with a smile, saying, "Secretary Sha, I'm done speaking."

"good!"

Although Sha Ruijin was surprised by Gao Yuliang's remarks, he still appreciated the professor's words and nodded in praise, saying, "Secretary Yuliang is absolutely right. Violations of laws and regulations, and crimes, will never be allowed by the Party and the country."

"Everyone here knows what they've done. Just as Secretary Yuliang said, stand up and clarify things yourself, and don't knowingly break the law again, adding insult to injury!"

"I'll give you ten seconds to consider whether I'll release the evidence publicly, or you will voluntarily confess!"

Sha Ruijin's gaze fell on Gao Yuliang, and he began the countdown: "10...9...8..."

"1!"

Sha Ruijin read from 10 to 1, and Gao Yuliang remained calm, showing no intention of speaking. Sha Ruijin then said, "Secretary Tian, ​​show everyone the evidence you have prepared."

Tian Guofu handed the copied evidence to Secretary Bai, who then placed the evidence in front of each of the Standing Committee members one by one.

"this……"

The moment Li Dakang saw the evidence, his pupils immediately contracted, because the first page was the marriage certificate of Gao Yuliang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and Gao Xiaoqin, general manager of Shanshui Group!

That's right, it's a photocopy of the marriage certificate!

When such blatant evidence was presented to them, the Standing Committee members immediately realized that this Standing Committee meeting was a trap set by Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin against Provincial Party Deputy Secretary Gao Yuliang!

Given such compelling evidence, Gao Yuliang is doomed to die no matter how eloquently he tries to defend himself!

In fact, everyone understands that with conclusive evidence, Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin can directly hand the case over to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) for investigation and handling. After all, Provincial Party Secretary Gao Yuliang is a centrally managed cadre, and none of those present have the authority to investigate!

The reason why Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin brought this matter up at the Standing Committee meeting was simply to ruin Gao Yuliang's reputation and disgrace!

After much thought, everyone realized the key point: they were well aware of the commendation notice issued by the Ministry of Public Security to the Provincial Party Committee!

It is very likely that the problems with Qi Tongwei are difficult to define in a short time, so they want to use Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, as a breakthrough point.

When Gao Yuliang saw the evidence that Secretary Bai had placed on the table, especially the copy of the marriage certificate on the first page, he remained calm without any emotional fluctuation, as if he had expected it all along.

Sha Ruijin stared at Gao Yuliang, his gaze piercing, and said, "Secretary Yuliang, are you still going to hide things now? Just like you said, confess your problems proactively. Don't knowingly break the law and add insult to injury!"

"Secretary Sha, you're exaggerating," Gao Yuliang pushed up his glasses and laughed. "Logically speaking, even if I have problems, the province has no right to investigate me."

"But no problem, I'll satisfy everyone's curiosity."

Gao Yuliang pointed to the marriage certificate on the table: "I, Gao Yuliang, was divorced for six years, then remarried a Hong Kong woman for six years, and we have a son."

"But my wife is not Gao Xiaoqin, the general manager of Shanshui Group, who was involved in the 116 fire; it was someone else!"

Tian Guofu scoffed, "Secretary Yuliang, do you think we're fools? You think you can get away with just changing the name on the marriage certificate and fool everyone?"

Gao Yuliang laughed, a hint of sarcasm in his smile: "Secretary Tian, ​​is it possible that Gao Xiaofeng, the Hong Kong woman I married, is Gao Xiaoqin's twin sister?"

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu's pupils constricted immediately. They had their suspicions, and the Discipline Inspection Commission had even conducted an investigation!

However, the final investigation revealed that Gao Xiaoqin of the Shanshui Group did not have any sisters and had always appeared alone!

Now that Gao Yuliang has brought this up at the Standing Committee meeting, it's impossible for him to be lying. It seems that Gao Xiaoqin does indeed have a twin sister!

Beside him, Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, pointed to the evidence on the conference table. "Secretary Yuliang, even if the marriage certificate doesn't belong to Gao Xiaoqin from Shanshui Group, how do you explain your divorce and marriage without prior approval?"

"As you just said, we are all centrally managed cadres, and such important personal matters must be reported to the provincial party committee's organization department and then to the provincial party secretary."

"Secretary Dakang, don't rush."

"Who told you that I didn't report my divorce and marriage to the organization or the provincial party committee?"

Gao Yuliang glanced at the assembled Standing Committee members and smiled slightly: "Whether it was six years ago or now, whether I got divorced or married, it was all with the approval of the Provincial Party Secretary and the Organization Department."

"Everything is compliant and legal, there are no problems whatsoever!"

Sha Ruijin immediately retorted, "Secretary Yuliang, that's rather dishonest. When did you report to me? And when did I give you permission?"

Gao Yuliang looked over and retorted sharply, "Then may I ask Secretary Sha, what were you doing six years ago? Where were you working? What was your position?"
