The Building Is About to Collapse

With each word Gao Yuliang spoke, Qi Tongwei's face paled further. Upon hearing the words "the building is about to collapse," Qi Tongwei turned ashen-faced, his lips trembling as he stared at his teacher in shock.

If what the teacher said is true, then we are in a real crisis now, and the destruction of the Han University gang is imminent!

As the Director of the Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei quickly realized what was happening and suppressed his shock: "Teacher, what should we do now?"

Although Qi Tongwei didn't know how his teacher knew all this, he was certain of one thing: his teacher's personal visit at this critical juncture must have been for a reason!

Gao Yuliang approached the ship and, looking out the window at the rows of police cars and officers coming and going, suddenly asked, "I remember in your report a couple of days ago, there were international drug traffickers entering Handong. Is the Public Security Bureau planning to make arrests in the next couple of days?"

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei was taken aback, frowning in confusion. "Teacher, this is a minor matter; I've already made arrangements. The most urgent task now is to stop Liu Xinjian from speaking and to get Zhao Ruilong and Gao Xiaoqin out!"

"No!"

Gao Yuliang turned to look at Qi Tongwei, his face serious: "The Provincial Procuratorate and the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau are secretly monitoring Zhao Ruilong without reporting to me, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Do you understand?"

"Teacher, you mean..." Qi Tongwei's body stiffened, and he immediately said, "I understand, teacher. This is a major case, and I, as the Director of the Public Security Bureau, am personally overseeing it to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Seeing that Qi Tongwei understood his meaning, Gao Yuliang reminded him again, "Tongwei, I'm warning you!"

"Whether this succeeds or fails, it cannot involve innocent people being injured or killed, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, teacher, I'll handle it!"

……

The Provincial Party Committee compound of Handong Province, the office of the Provincial Party Secretary.

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu sat facing each other. Sha Ruijin asked with a smile, "Secretary Tian, ​​you came to see me because you've already discussed that photo with Gao Yuliang? What did he say?"

"Oh……"

Tian Guofu said with a self-deprecating smile, "What are we talking about? We agreed to talk today, but I haven't even seen Gao Yuliang yet."

"Is that so?" Sha Ruijin frowned slightly.

"Indeed, our professor here is really arrogant. If it weren't for the unity and development of Handong Province, I would have reported him directly to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and asked them to investigate."

Sha Ruijin nodded, agreeing with Tian Guofu's statement. "Secretary Tian, ​​you're right. Gao Yuliang has indeed gone too far. I'll call him over so we can talk in person!"

Just then, Secretary Xiaobai walked over and said, "Secretary, Secretary Gao Yuliang is here!"

When Sha Ruijin heard that Gao Yuliang had arrived, he couldn't help but tease, "Speak of the devil and he appears! I was just about to call him over, but I didn't expect him to come here first."

Tian Guofu's face darkened further. He had arranged to meet Gao Yuliang for something important, but now Gao Yuliang had time to come here. Wasn't this blatant disrespect?

Thinking of this, Tian Guofu stood up and said, "Secretary Sha, since you have things to attend to, I'll head back now."

"Go back for what?" Sha Ruijin refused without hesitation. "I was already planning to ask him about the photos. It's good that you're here, so we don't have to go and talk to him separately again."

No sooner had Sha Ruijin finished speaking than Gao Yuliang's voice rang out: "It seems I've come at the wrong time, interrupting Secretary Sha and Comrade Guofu's conversation. Perhaps I should come back later?"

As Gao Yuliang turned to leave, Sha Ruijin said, "Secretary Yuliang, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You are the key figure in this matter; we can't continue our discussion without you."

"I?"

Gao Yuliang turned around in surprise and sat down in the chair that Xiaobai had brought: "Secretary Sha, what instructions do you have? I will tell you everything I know!"

"Look at Secretary Yuliang's awareness. Secretary Tian, ​​don't keep any problems to yourself." Sha Ruijin turned his gaze to Tian Guofu.

Tian Guofu looked at Gao Yuliang and asked, "Secretary Yuliang, our Discipline Inspection Commission received a set of photos. The photos show you and Gao Xiaoqin from Shanshui Group in an ambiguous relationship. Our Discipline Inspection Commission needs to conduct a routine investigation."

"Oh, so those were the photos..."

Gao Yuliang was not surprised at all, and even knew what they would ask. He said nonchalantly, "If it's just those photos, I have nothing to say and nothing to cooperate with."

Upon hearing this, both Tian Guofu and Sha Ruijin's expressions turned extremely ugly!

Sha Ruijin took a deep breath, stared at Gao Yuliang with a serious expression, and said in a warning tone, "Comrade Yuliang, you just said you would speak freely and without reservation, but now you say you have nothing to say. This is not a good attitude."

"Secretary Sha, you've misunderstood me."

Gao Yuliang gave a wry smile. "I said there was nothing to say, nothing to cooperate with, because the innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty!"

"To be honest, my anti-corruption bureau student, Hou Liangping, already showed me these photos. Professor Wu explained them to him at the time, but I didn't offer a single explanation. Why?"

"Serving the Party and the public good naturally requires adhering to principles, Party spirit, and discipline. I, Gao Yuliang, and Gao Xiaoqin of the Shanshui Group have no problems whatsoever and can withstand investigation. Therefore, I have no fear, and without fear, there is no need for explanation!"

These words left Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu speechless. It was just a set of photos, but Gao Yuliang elevated it to the level of party spirit, saying that he was not afraid of being investigated. What could they say?

Tian Guofu wasn't about to give up so easily, and pressed on again: "Comrade Yuliang, those photos have been authenticated; they are real photos, not computer-generated. Don't you think you should explain yourself?"

"Comrade Guofu, what's there to explain?"

"If Comrade Guofu feels there's a problem, he can report it to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and launch an investigation against me. I, Gao Yuliang, am upright and have nothing to fear. I can withstand the investigation, and I'm not afraid of it!"

"Cough cough..."

Seeing that Tian Guofu was in a desperate situation, Sha Ruijin hurriedly spoke up to defuse the situation: "It's not that bad. It's just a set of photos, it's not enough to be reported to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Secretary Yuliang, why don't you explain? I'm also very curious about these photos."

Upon hearing Sha Ruijin speak, Gao Yuliang frowned slightly. "Secretary Sha, it's nothing really. I was the Party Secretary of Luzhou City before, and I inevitably had some contact with these business owners when I was promoting investment."

"It's normal to have some contact with bosses when you drink too much occasionally, but I never expected to be taken advantage of by some scoundrels."

"Honestly, Secretary Sha, even if the Discipline Inspection Commission hadn't contacted me, I would still have wanted them to seriously investigate the photos. This has had a very negative impact on my reputation; how will my students view me in the future?"

"Secretary Yuliang is right. It's inevitable that we'll be receiving some investors during the investment promotion process..."

Gao Yuliang's skill at dodging the question was too great, and Secretary Sha was at a loss for words for the moment. He could only change the subject: "Let's not talk about the photos for now. I wonder what brings Secretary Yuliang here?"

"This interruption almost made me forget the important matter."

"Two days ago, Zhang Tie, an internationally wanted drug trafficker, entered our Handong Province. The Public Security Bureau has prepared an arrest plan, and I have come to report to Secretary Sha."

Sha Ruijin was somewhat surprised. Gao Yuliang could make such a decision on his own, and even came to report to him in person. Could it be that he was showing weakness and trying to bow down to him...?

Thinking this to himself, Sha Ruijin still spoke up, saying, "Secretary Yuliang, you can make the decision on this matter, but there's one condition: the personal safety and property security of the people must be guaranteed!"

"clear!"

Gao Yuliang readily agreed, but in his heart he was wondering whether the provincial party secretary would hand Zhao Ruilong over to the provincial public security bureau once the anti-drug police surrounded the hotel where Zhao Ruilong was staying...

If Zhao Ruilong is handed over to the Provincial Public Security Department, it is the same as handing Zhao Ruilong over to Qi Tongwei. Then what is the point of making an arrest?

It would be even more interesting if they didn't pay!
