A life-or-death struggle!

In the provincial party secretary's office, Sha Ruijin stood by the window, looking through the glass at Gao Yuliang, who had been taken away by the central inspection team, his face grave.

Things have developed to this point, and everything is irreconcilable. This was not his original intention, absolutely not!

What he wanted was to win over Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and make Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, bow his head. He wanted to use the Handa gang under Gao Yuliang's control and then transfer Gao Yuliang to the second line of the CPPCC.

But for some reason, things have developed to this point.

At some point, Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Handong Province, came up behind them. He stared at Gao Yuliang, who was being taken into the car by the Central Inspection Team, and said with a smile, "Alright, isn't our professor very good at 'arguing'? Let him tell the Organization Department and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"It's just a pity. Qi Tongwei's problems are also quite serious, but he somehow got lucky and received a first-class award from the Ministry of Public Security. He can't be touched for a while, so this is all we can do."

"Secretary Tian..." Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin stood by the window, watching the Central Inspection Team's car drive away before slowly turning around. "Have you noticed that the Central Inspection Team's behavior today was very strange?"

"Strange behavior?" Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu was taken aback, somewhat confused. "What does Secretary Sha mean?"

Sha Ruijin raised an eyebrow. "Secretary Tian, ​​think about it. You only mentioned Gao Yuliang's problems, and Lin Qicheng, the head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's inspection team, has already turned his attention to you."

"After I spoke up, Lin Qicheng did not let it go. Instead, he questioned me based on Wu Chunlin's real-name report."

As they spoke, Sha Ruijin seemed to realize something was amiss, and said with suspicion, "Wait a minute, the Central Inspection Team came here precisely to take Gao Yuliang away. Lin Qicheng's behavior is very problematic."

Tian Guofu didn't take it seriously and waved his hand, saying, "Secretary Sha, you may not know much about Linqi City. I just asked someone about it."

"Lin Qicheng is known in the capital for his sharp tongue. He is a man who never backs down from a point of view. During his tenure as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission in Wucheng, he even gave the secretary of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee a thorough dressing-down. He is the kind of person who cannot tolerate any nonsense."

Tian Guofu said with certainty, "It must be that what I said was not precise enough, which offended Lin Qicheng and caused this to happen."

"I see..." Sha Ruijin said thoughtfully.

"Secretary Sha, Gao Yuliang has already been taken away by the Central Inspection Team, so what's there to worry about?"

Tian Guofu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and reminded him, "Now let's think about how to deal with Wu Chunlin, the Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Xiao Gangyu, the Chief Prosecutor of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, and Chen Qingquan, the Vice President of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court."

"That's true. Gao Yuliang has been taken away by the Central Inspection Team. We should start thinking about the aftermath." Sha Ruijin suppressed his unease and ordered Tian Guofu, "Wu Chunlin, the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, cannot be touched for the time being. After all, Gao Yuliang has just been taken away. If we were to place another Minister of the Organization Department under investigation now, the social impact would be too severe."

"As for Xiao Gangyu, the chief prosecutor of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, and Chen Qingquan, the vice president of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court, they will be dealt with according to law once evidence is found, and there will be no leniency."

As for whether Gao Yuliang can come back?

Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu hadn't even considered this matter. What kind of international joke is this? How many of the centrally-managed cadres who were taken away by the Central Inspection Team ever came back?

Everyone has their little problems.

As long as the Party and the organization investigate you, you can be dismissed for dereliction of duty or inaction. Gao Yuliang was taken away by the Central Inspection Team. Even if he is not imprisoned in Qincheng Prison, his political career has already come to a complete end!

With Gao Yuliang gone, those he left behind will naturally be investigated one by one; this is an unspoken rule in officialdom.

"In that case, let's put aside the issue of Wu Chunlin, the provincial Party Committee's Organization Minister, for now. Based on the confession of Liu Xinjian, the general manager of Handong Oil and Gas Group, the evidence against Xiao Gangyu, the chief prosecutor of Jingzhou Municipal Procuratorate, for embezzlement and bribery is conclusive. I will immediately arrange for the Anti-Corruption Bureau to make the arrest!"

Tian Guofu thought for a moment and continued, "As for Chen Qingquan, the vice president of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court, neither Zhao Ruilong nor Gao Xiaoqin have explained the relevant issues. It seems that Chen Qingquan can only be detained for personal life issues."

Sha Ruijin instructed: "Regardless of whether these problematic cadres are related to Gao Yuliang or not, we should investigate them thoroughly and deal with them according to the law."

"I understand, Secretary Sha..."

……

The news that Gao Yuliang had been taken away by the Central Inspection Team spread throughout the officialdom of Jingzhou City in just two or three hours, and was still spreading rapidly outwards.

Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, Office of the Chief Procurator.

Upon hearing this devastating news, Xiao Gangyu, the chief prosecutor of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, slumped weakly into his chair, his arms hanging limply, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

He had only one thought in his mind... It's over!

It's completely over!

If Secretary Yu Liang has been placed under investigation, how far behind can I be? Moreover, regarding Hou Liangping's embezzlement and bribery, although I did not violate any regulations, I was indeed deliberately targeting him.

In addition, he has a habit of taking advantage of others, and now these small problems will lead to his demise!

Coming to his senses, Xiao Gangyu was heartbroken, pounding his chest repeatedly. "Secretary Yuliang, didn't you say I was under too much stress and that a good night's sleep would fix it? If I could just sleep it off, why were you taken away by the Central Inspection Team?!"

"Secretary Yuliang, you've been taken away! What am I going to do?!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Gangyu didn't have much time to grieve. There was a knock on his door, and the voice of Lü Liang, deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, came from outside: "Old Xiao, it's me, Lü Liang. Open the door."

Xiao Gangyu knew he couldn't avoid it any longer. He took a deep breath, stood up, and went to open the door, only to find that in addition to Lu Liang, the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, there were two prosecutors from the procuratorate and two police officers outside the door.

Without any hesitation, Lu Liang, the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, picked up the detention warrant from the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau and showed it to Xiao Gangyu.

Xiao Gangyu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the detention warrant. He hurriedly said, "Old Lü, who...who issued this to you? Is it that serious? You must have made a mistake!"

Lü Liang smiled and said, "How could you be wrong? You know what you've done, so let's not waste our breath."

"Sigh..." Xiao Gangyu took off his glasses and put them in his pocket, explaining, "Old Lü, I know about Hou Liangping's problem. He went a bit too far in his work, right? I know that."

"Apologize, have a meal together—we're all comrades, aren't we?"

Lü Liang said with a serious expression, "Old Xiao, when are you going to wake up from this pipe dream? Is this a matter of apologizing? This is a life-or-death struggle!"

After saying that, Lü Liang waved his hand and said, "Take him away!"

……

Prosecutors from the provincial party committee's residential compound, carrying seals, arrived at Gao Yuliang's villa.

Teacher Wu had already packed her luggage. Apart from a photo of her and Gao Yuliang, there were only some of her daughter's belongings. She didn't take anything else.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei also arrived after hearing the news. Seeing the prosecutor affixing the seal, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, coldly saying, "Who authorized you to seal this up? Do you know whose villa this is?"

"Secretary Yuliang was taken away by the inspection team, but he hasn't been convicted yet. Who gave you the authority to seal up Secretary Yuliang's villa?"

"Who is it?"
