: They've got their eyes on Li Dakang!

This hastily organized meeting of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Committee ended in a dismal failure.

What was originally a scheme set up by Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin against Provincial Party Deputy Secretary Gao Yuliang turned into a personal show for Gao Yuliang. Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu, and Jingzhou Municipal Party Secretary Li Dakang took turns attacking him, but they were still completely outmatched!

Gao Yuliang was able to handle things with ease, and most importantly, he was aligned with Wu Chunlin, the Organization Minister of the Handong Provincial Party Committee!

The Standing Committee members present were also puzzled. In the previous Standing Committee meetings, Wu Chunlin, the Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, clearly leaned towards Sha Ruijin, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. This time, for some reason, he first helped Gao Yuliang obtain a certificate for divorce and remarriage, and then directly confronted Sha Ruijin, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee!

Today, Wu Chunlin, the provincial Party committee's organization minister, is completely different from his previous soft and gentle self. He's incredibly tough, like a completely different person!

After the meeting ended, the Standing Committee members left one after another, except for Gao Yuliang and Sha Ruijin, who remained seated without making any move.

After everyone had left, Sha Ruijin stared at Gao Yuliang and exclaimed, "Secretary Yuliang, you've managed to distort the truth and manipulate events at will—quite the skill!"

"Secretary Sha, there's no such thing as turning black into white. Black is black, and white is white; they can't be confused." Gao Yuliang smiled and teased, "This is a scientific society now. There are no mythical figures who can turn their hands over to make clouds and rain, right, Secretary Sha?"

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu returned and chimed in, "Secretary Yuliang is indeed worthy of being a professor at the University of Political Science and Law, he is very learned. I just wonder if Secretary Yuliang still has the confidence to speak so passionately when facing the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the Central Committee."

Gao Yuliang turned to look at Tian Guofu, who had just entered: "Now that things have come to this, Secretary Tian, ​​as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, do you still think I have serious problems?"

Following this, Gao Yuliang added, "If my problem is serious, wouldn't Secretary Dakang's problem be even more serious? In that case, wouldn't Secretary Sha and the Discipline Inspection Commission be suspected of covering it up?"

When Gao Yuliang brought up Li Dakang again, Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, frowned, and remained silent.

Knowing that both of them were having doubts, Gao Yuliang raised his thermos and challenged Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin, "Secretary Sha, do you think my thermos is full or not?"

As he spoke, Gao Yuliang stood up and walked out, muttering to himself, "My thermos isn't just full of water, it keeps things warm too..."

In the vast conference hall, only Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu remained, each lost in their own thoughts, their brows furrowed in worry.

After a long silence, Sha Ruijin spoke in a grave voice, "Secretary Tian, ​​as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, is it true that Gao Yuliang said Li Dakang's problems are more serious?"

"This..." Tian Guofu, who was usually very talkative, hesitated for the first time, and said hesitantly, "I can't really say, since the Provincial Procuratorate has always been in charge."

Sha Ruijin raised an eyebrow and immediately interrupted, "What's so hard to say? Just analyze Li Dakang's problem from the perspective of the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

"Then I'll speak freely." Having received Sha Ruijin's approval, Tian Guofu said bluntly, "Secretary Sha, this Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, really does have problems!"

"First of all, Ding Yizhen, the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City and commander-in-chief of Guangming District, escaped. Li Dakang bears an unshirkable responsibility for this, since Ding Yizhen was promoted by Li Dakang and always referred to himself as the embodiment of Secretary Dakang."

"With such a high-profile operation, how could Li Dakang, as the Party Secretary of the city, be completely unaware?"

"Is Li Dakang truly unaware, or is he turning a blind eye for the sake of his political achievements? It's hard to say!"

After a pause, Tian Guofu continued, "Next, let's talk about Li Dakang's ex-wife, Ouyang Jing. If I remember correctly, Li Dakang's daughter is studying abroad, and that's quite an expense. Given Li Dakang's salary, he simply can't afford it!"

"Does Li Dakang care about his ex-wife Ouyang Jing or his daughter? If he did care, he would naturally know about his daughter's comfortable lifestyle. So where does the money come from?"

"Therefore, it's not hard to see that Li Dakang knew about his wife's corruption, but he pretended not to know, making it easier to distance himself from the situation!"

"hiss……"

Sha Ruijin took a deep breath, his face extremely grim, and said in a deep voice, "So, Gao Yuliang wasn't wrong. Li Dakang's problem is very serious, even more serious than Gao Yuliang's?"

"Now that Wu Chunlin, the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, has testified, Gao Yuliang's divorce and remarriage were applied for and approved by the organization, so the issue of Gao Yuliang's illegal marriage does not exist."

Tian Guofu thought for a moment and then said, "However, Gao Yuliang isn't without his problems either. Although he's divorced, the HK$200 million trust fund hasn't been thoroughly investigated. We can still apply to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to launch an investigation into Gao Yuliang!"

Sha Ruijin immediately asked, "What if Gao Yuliang insists on bringing up Li Dakang's issues during the investigation?"

"That depends on what the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) decides," Tian Guofu analyzed. "If the CCDI really decides to investigate Li Dakang, our Handong Provincial Party Committee will have no choice but to cooperate..."

Tian Guofu didn't say what he was going to say next, but Sha Ruijin already understood what he meant. If Gao Yuliang really implicated Li Dakang and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection opened an investigation into Li Dakang, then Li Dakang would only become a pawn to be discarded!

"No, absolutely not!"

Sha Ruijin shook his head repeatedly, rejecting the proposal: "Gao Yuliang is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the political and legal affairs commission, and Li Dakang is the secretary of the Jingzhou municipal party committee. If both of them are placed under investigation, the public security, procuratorate, and judicial system of Handong Province will be in chaos, and the economy of Jingzhou will collapse. This is absolutely unacceptable!"

"For the sake of the overall situation in Handong, either Gao Yuliang or Li Dakang must stay; that's the bottom line!"

Tian Guofu paused slightly, his eyes flickering, and reminded him, "If that's the case, the disciplinary inspection team will arrive in two days. Should we still report the issue of Gao Yuliang's alleged involvement in a HK$200 million trust fund?"

"Isn't there still two days?" Sha Ruijin's gaze narrowed slightly, and he said with a headache, "Don't rush. I'll talk to Gao Yuliang in the next two days and see if we can find a better solution."

Meanwhile, Gao Yuliang had just returned to his office when his secretary, Xiao He, reported, "Secretary, Director Qi came over early this morning, saying he has important information to report to you in person!"

"Director Qi? Important situation?"

Gao Yuliang was somewhat surprised, but still said, "Let him in."

Qi Tongwei rushed in, a hint of joy on his face. After his secretary, Xiao He, closed the door and left, he said excitedly, "Teacher, Mayor Yi Xuexi of Luzhou City is in trouble!"
