Comrade Yuliang, what do you think of this matter?

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

A massive storm is about to sweep through the entire capital!

After Gao Yuliang and Hao Le cooperated with the relevant departments to handle the matter, they immediately contacted General Manager Lü and reported the incident to him.

Hao Le originally intended to handle the matter himself, since it involved Sha Ruijin, and wanted Gao Yuliang to recuse himself. However, Gao Yuliang refused. President Lü temporarily assigned his car to Hao Le, which showed his trust in him.

If something goes wrong, you must take responsibility for what you should take.

At this hour, President Lü was still busy working. Seeing his secretary and Gao Yuliang rushing over, Lü Hong, who was working, was not surprised. He looked up at the two of them and asked, "Tell me, what happened to Sha Guoguo?"

It's obvious that Mr. Lü already knows about this, but that's not surprising, since Mr. Lü's car was in an accident, and many people must have called to inquire about his safety!

"That's right, Mr. Lü."

Hao Le calmly recounted, "Today, I had an appointment with Comrade Yu Liang, Comrade Qian Cheng, and I to discuss the funding for the new energy project. In the hotel parking lot, Wang Gan's grandson, Sha Ruijin's son Sha Guoguo, was driving under the influence of alcohol and crashed into your car and Qian Cheng's car!"

Lu Hong put down his work, slowly raised his head, and asked in a calm tone, "The relevant departments called me and said that Sha Guoguo's actions constitute a crime of endangering national security and can be severely punished."

As he spoke, Lü Hong looked at Gao Yuliang, his deep gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny, "Comrade Yuliang, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Me?" Gao Yuliang, who was standing next to him, was stunned. He did not expect President Lü to ask him. Sha Guoguo is Sha Ruijin's son. If he agrees with the relevant department's statement, Sha Ruijin may be finished!

However, Gao Yuliang disdained to do that!

Furthermore, Mr. Lü's intriguing gaze made Gao Yuliang wary.

Gao Yuliang expressed his true thoughts: "To be honest, I think the claim that Sha Guoguo endangered national security is biased. It was clearly just a simple car accident caused by drunk driving. There is no need to make a big deal out of it and complicate things."

"Furthermore, I don't think Sha Guoguo is that stupid as to deliberately ram into Mr. Lü's car!"

"So, I think it was an accident!"

Lu Hong looked at Gao Yuliang and nodded, "What you said makes sense."

"That's settled then." Lu Hong looked down at the documents in his hand and reminded him, "You don't need to do anything. Wang Gan will handle things properly himself."

……

By the time Sha Guoguo's mother, Wang Yao, received the news, it was already two hours later; the call came from her father!

Wang Gan let out a long sigh: "Guoguo has really messed up this time. She crashed into President Lü's car while driving under the influence!"

"Someone must take responsibility for this..."

Wang Gan remained silent for a long time before weakly saying, "Fortunately, President Lü wasn't in the car. That's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Tomorrow I will submit a report, firstly demanding severe punishment for Sha Guoguo, and secondly submitting my resignation..."

Upon learning that her son had crashed into Mr. Lü's car, Wang Yao realized the enormity of the trouble her son had caused. This accident not only ruined her son's future, but could also implicate his father and her husband, who was far away in Handong!

Late at night, Sha Ruijin, who was the last to learn the news, stood by the window, unable to sleep all night. He knew that his father-in-law had submitted that resignation as the best way to save Sha Guoguo.

After all, since they hit Mr. Lü's car, someone has to be held responsible, and my father-in-law is undoubtedly the best candidate.

My father-in-law was supposed to have another year left, but he's passed away prematurely, which will have a huge impact on me.

If it weren't for his father-in-law, the Executive Vice Chairman of the CPPCC, as his backer, could he have advanced any further?

This is a big problem!

In addition, the car accident caused by their son Sha Guoguo is also fatal to their political career!

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Sha Ruijin murmured, "There's no other way but to align myself with Grand Secretary Zhong..."

Overnight, Sha Ruijin, Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, wrote a letter of self-criticism. In the letter, he repeatedly reflected on the education of Sha Guoguo and stated that he would resolutely support the judicial authorities' judgment on the handling of Sha Guoguo's case, and would never show favoritism, interfere, or plead for leniency!

Sha Ruijin sent the letter directly to Zhong Zhengguo, since he had no way of contacting President Lü, while Zhong Zhengguo's status made it relatively easier for him to get in touch with President Lü.

The letter of self-criticism was sent to Zhong Zhengguo, which also had another meaning: to get closer to him!

After all, Zhong Zhengguo had a good relationship with his father-in-law; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to let Hou Liangping parachute into Handong to reap the rewards. With this relationship, he believed that Zhong Zhengguo would definitely help him.

On the other side, Zhong Zhengguo, who received Sha Ruijin's letter of self-criticism, had a complicated expression. Sha Ruijin had allowed his son-in-law Hou Liangping to get a share of the spoils from the anti-corruption campaign in Handong, which was indeed a favor.

However, to his utter surprise, despite his and Wang Gan's intervention, Gao Yuliang not only wasn't eliminated, but his position rose higher and higher, and he has now become a major threat to him.

Looking at the letter of apology that Sha Ruijin had asked him to pass on to President Lü, Zhong Zhengguo shook his head. Sha Ruijin clearly didn't know that Gao Yuliang had already gotten on President Lü's good side, so there was no point in sending this letter now.

The most crucial thing now is how to deal with Gao Yuliang!

The next day, Gao Yuliang looked at the brand-new car outside the door, bearing the number 003, and his heart finally settled down.

The fact that Mr. Lü continues to allow me to use his car means that he has no grudge against me for what happened last night, which is the best outcome.

Back at work, Gao Yuliang heard some big news!

Wang Gan, the executive vice chairman of the CPPCC, voluntarily submitted his resignation due to health reasons, and his early retirement was approved at lightning speed.

Wang Gan's grandson, Sha Guoguo, son of Sha Ruijin, the Party Secretary of Handong Province, was suspended from his job and had his driver's license revoked for suspected drunk driving that caused a serious accident. He will also be held criminally liable according to law.

To be honest, Gao Yuliang was somewhat surprised!

Because it seems that General Manager Lü did nothing, all these things were accomplished naturally, and the process was so fast that what happened last night was resolved today.

It's obvious that this was orchestrated by the Wang family themselves, with the aim of showing President Lü their stance and fearing that they might get burned.

Gao Yuliang was also surprised to find that the drunk driver was Sha Ruijin's son, Sha Guoguo!

This accidental collision means he will most likely lose his job in the propaganda department, and it may even affect his future political career.

The direct retirement of Wang Gan, the executive deputy of the bureau, committee, and CPPCC, is most likely to protect Sha Guoguo, who caused trouble, and Sha Ruijin, who is far away in Handong.

In the morning, Gao Yuliang dealt with some trivial matters related to the Development and Reform Commission. Around noon, he received a call from his daughter, "Dad, Meng Qingshan's parents are home. Should we go over now?"

Meeting Meng Qingshan's parents was something Gao Yuliang had requested when he had dinner with Fangfang yesterday, so he had no reason to refuse now and readily agreed, saying, "Wait for me a moment, I'll come pick you up right away."
