gets to the point: Where did all the whistleblower letters go?

The meeting of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee was still ongoing in the conference room.

After the case of Yi Xuexi's corruption was handed over to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the real show began!

The explosion and fire in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, is a major catastrophic accident that has attracted nationwide attention. The Handong Provincial Party Committee must come up with a solution and resolve it properly!

"Regarding the explosion and fire in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, this is a major catastrophic accident with over 300 casualties, attracting immense public attention. Handong Province must come up with a plan to resolve this issue as quickly and properly as possible!"

"At the same time, we must thoroughly investigate the corruption behind the explosion and fire in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, and give an explanation to the people of Jingzhou and the people of the whole country!"

Gao Yuliang was the first to speak, declaring firmly and without room for argument: "I hereby inform everyone that the investigation into the explosion and fire in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, will be entirely handled by the provincial government, and I will personally take charge!"

Li Dakang's face paled slightly, and he was the first to retort, "Secretary Yu Liang, oh no, Governor Gao, the fire caused by the explosion in Zhongfu District of Jingzhou City was just an accident. How did it involve corruption?"

"Also, Jingzhou City has the responsibility and the ability to handle the fire caused by the explosion in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, so we won't trouble the province."

Upon hearing Li Dakang's insistence on gaining control of the case, Gao Yuliang scoffed and looked at Li Dakang with disdain. "Secretary Dakang, are you sure the fire caused by the explosion in the shantytown of Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, was truly an accident?"

Without hesitation, Li Dakang replied, "Of course, we have already investigated the cause of the explosion. It was caused by construction workers' improper operation, which damaged the gas pipeline, leading to a massive explosion and subsequently a fire. I am absolutely certain of this!"

"Alright, then I'll ask Secretary Dakang." Gao Yuliang stared at Li Dakang and asked calmly, "As far as I know, the national funds allocated for shantytown renovation, the provincial matching funds, and the 5 million yuan special funds allocated by Jingzhou Zhongfu Group to the Jingzhou Municipal Government for the renovation of miners' new villages have already arrived in the account."

"And the result?"

Gao Yuliang's face turned cold, and he said angrily, "The shantytown renovation project has been dragged on for five years, resulting in such a major and catastrophic accident!"

Upon discovering that Gao Yuliang knew so many details about the shantytown renovation project in Jingzhou, Li Dakang dared not refute him any further. He lowered his head and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I bear responsibility for this matter. I promise I will personally oversee the shantytown renovation work and give the country and the people a satisfactory explanation!"

"Heh, pushing through shantytown redevelopment? To give the country and the people a satisfactory explanation?" Gao Yuliang sneered. "You've run out of money, what are you relying on to push through shantytown redevelopment? Secretary Dakang, even now, are you still going to hide it?"

Li Dakang's expression changed drastically. He was very surprised that 5 million yuan of special funds for the renovation of shantytowns had disappeared. Only he and Yi Xuexi knew about this. How did Gao Yuliang know?

Taking a deep breath, Li Dakang felt very passive, but admitted, "Yes, 5 million yuan of our city's special funds for shantytown renovation were diverted by Ding Yizhen, the former secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee. We are still investigating where the funds went."

These words shocked everyone present!

Misappropriating 5 million yuan, which was a special fund for shantytown renovation, and then connecting it to the fire caused by the explosion, isn't this a catastrophic accident caused by corruption?

Li Dakang persisted, "But I hope the Provincial Party Committee will trust me. The Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee has the ability to recover the embezzled 5 million yuan. As for any corruption that occurred after that 5 million yuan, Jingzhou will absolutely not cover it up; we have zero tolerance!"

"Our Jingzhou City will absolutely give the country, the provincial party committee, and the people a perfect explanation!"

Everyone remained silent, because they could all see that Li Dakang wanted to handle the matter internally in Jingzhou City. He was afraid that the investigation would uncover evidence that would be detrimental to him.

Lu Zhenguo, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, suddenly spoke up: "How about this? Regarding the explosion and fire at the Miners' New Village in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, Jingzhou City will take the lead, and the Provincial Party Committee will dispatch a special task force to assist in the investigation. What do you think?"

Tian Guofu smiled and said, "This is a good idea. This way, Jingzhou City can handle the matter, and the Provincial Party Committee can still exercise its supervisory power. It's an excellent solution."

Sha Ruijin made the decision: "Then it's settled. The explosion and fire at the Miners' New Village in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, will be led by the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, with the Provincial Party Committee's special task force providing assistance. We must investigate this matter thoroughly as soon as possible!"

"Didn't you all understand what I meant?" Gao Yuliang tapped his fingers on the desk, his tone resolute. "The explosion and fire at the Miners' New Village in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, will be fully handled by the provincial government, and I will personally take charge!"

"This isn't something I'm discussing with you; it's a notification. Do you understand?"

Tian Guofu was about to retort when the door suddenly opened, and Director Bai, the secretary of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin, walked in with a dark face. He jogged over to Sha Ruijin's ear and said, "Secretary, Old Fang is back again, and he brought someone with him."

Sha Ruijin's pupils constricted, and he instinctively exclaimed in surprise, "What? You're back again? And with someone else?"

These Standing Committee members were all inwardly puzzled. What? He's back again? What? He brought someone with him? Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin's outburst—could something serious be about to happen again?

Many big things happened today, one after another, from Vice Governor and Director of the Public Security Department Qi Tongwei, to the exorbitantly priced tea of ​​Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Yi Xuexi, and the deep involvement of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin in the exorbitantly priced tea scandal.

What, this isn't over yet?

Only Gao Yuliang was taken aback at first, then revealed a familiar smile, and glanced at Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, on his left, thinking that the show was about to begin.

However, Fang Lao's return was beyond Gao Yuliang's expectations.

The people in the conference room were puzzled for a short while when the door was pushed open, and Old Fang walked in with a cold face, followed by Zhang Feng, the secretary-general of the Luzhou Municipal Government, who looked nervous, and two bodyguards.

Old Fang stepped across the conference room and went directly to Sha Ruijin's seat. He sat down and said to Zhang Feng, who was standing behind him with a slightly submissive expression, "Repeat what you just told me completely and carefully."

"well……"

Zhang Feng was visibly nervous, but then he thought, "Wasn't all this planning for today?" Suppressing his anxiety, he began, "I... my name is Zhang Feng, former Secretary-General of the Luzhou Municipal Government, currently a staff member of the Xinhua Subdistrict Office."

"I bought 80,000 yuan worth of tea from Mayor Yi Xuexi's house, but then..."

At this point, Zhang Feng looked at Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary with a dark expression, with some hesitation and worry.

Seeing this, Fang Ren turned to Zhang Feng and said, "Speak boldly, tell the truth!"

"Later, because the provincial party secretary recommended the tea from Yi Xuexi's family, I couldn't afford it anymore. Subsequently, because I filed a formal complaint against Yi Xuexi, I was demoted to a low-level position as a staff member at the Xinhua Street office!"

At this moment, Sha Ruijin's heart was bleeding. Wasn't this supposed to be handled by the special task force? How could there be a second blow so soon? He hadn't even finished dealing with the matter yet!

Fang Ren raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Get to the point, where did you send all your formal complaint letters?"
