Chapter 78

Li Dakang, Divorce Invalid

Inside the conference room in Handong Province, all was quiet.

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu was severely criticized for inaction, but he did not refute it because he found that all his arguments seemed weak and powerless.

Tian Guofu also wanted to talk about Sun Liancheng's problems, but the Discipline Inspection Commission had investigated for half a month and only found that the organization owed Sun Liancheng 100 yuan, but had not found any evidence of Sun Liancheng's corruption.

It is said that water that is too clear has no fish. Tian Guofu was also puzzled. In this day and age, are there still people in officialdom who do not eat, drink, take, or embezzle?

But if we're talking about facts and evidence, Sun Liancheng is innocent, so we can't just throw accusations around, can we?

The Standing Committee members present remained silent, their gazes towards Sun Liancheng somewhat evasive. This Sun Liancheng was too reckless, wreaking havoc at the Standing Committee meeting; now everyone had to avoid his sharp edge.

Everyone has noticed that if you speak at this time, no matter what you say, it's definitely not going to end well!

So everyone wisely kept quiet!

Looking at the completely silent conference room, Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin felt utterly terrible. He was numb; to be precise, he didn't know how to end this mess.

This is a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province, which needs to be reported. Can Sun Liancheng's statements just now be reported? Would they dare to report them? How would they report them?

Sun Liancheng's words were so shocking that even he himself would be terrified if the higher-ups heard them. If they were reported, it would cause a huge problem!

What will the higher-ups think if a high-ranking official in a province commits illegal and irregular acts?

Most importantly, Sun Liancheng hasn't stopped yet; he looked up and glanced over again...

"Old man, didn't I just say you weren't finished with your story?" Sun Liancheng smirked, "I was going to give you some leeway because you're old enough, but you insisted on jumping in, so don't blame me!"

Chen Yanshi's face was dark, his head hung low, and he gritted his teeth without saying a word. He could also see that Sun Liancheng dared to call the provincial party secretary Sha Ruijin a stupid pig, and now no one could change the situation.

Sun Liancheng looked at Chen Yanshi and questioned, "Old man, now tell me, how did your son Chen Hai get into the Handong Provincial Procuratorate?"

Chen Yanshi's heart skipped a beat, but he still hurriedly tried to explain, "Sun Liancheng, what do you mean? If it's my problem, then it's my problem. Why are you dragging Chen Hai into this? What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want to do? I want everyone to know the truth, of course!"

Sun Liancheng looked at the Standing Committee members on both sides and said sarcastically, "You may not know that Chen Yanshi, the former deputy chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate, had a son who was also the former director of the anti-corruption bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, Chen Hai. When he first entered the provincial procuratorate, he missed the exam by three points."

"In the end, it was only after Chen Yanshi intervened that I was allowed in. Everyone, look at him, this is the respected Chief Prosecutor Chen Yanshi, so fair and impartial!"

Sun Liancheng looked at Chen Yanshi and asked, "Chen Yanshi, when you helped your son take someone else's place to get into the Provincial Procuratorate, can you tell me what you were thinking at the time?"

"Didn't you ever consider that someone studied hard for twenty years for this day? What gives you the right to deprive someone of their life?"

"Are you even human?"

In fact, many people present had heard about this incident, because back then, when the student discovered that his grades were not right, he reported it to many departments and even made a scene at the provincial procuratorate.

It caused quite a stir back then, but Chen Yanshi used his power to suppress it all. After all, no one was willing to offend the then deputy director of the provincial procuratorate for the sake of an unrelated person!

"You...you...you..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Chen Yanshi's face turned ashen. He clutched his chest and coughed violently. His gaze toward Sun Liancheng was filled with hatred and loathing, as if he wished he could tear him apart.

Because once Sun Liancheng said those words, not only was he finished, but his son would also be implicated!

Seeing that Chen Yanshi was about to explode with anger, Sha Ruijin glanced around the Standing Committee meeting and finally fixed his gaze on Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. The meaning was clear: tell Sun Liancheng to shut up!

There was no other way; Sun Liancheng was the former head of Guangming District in Jingzhou City and had also worked as an instructor at the Jingzhou Children's Palace. Only Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, was the most suitable person to speak up!

Li Dakang genuinely didn't want to talk, but at this critical juncture of the Jingzhou explosion and fire, without the help of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin, he would be finished.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Dakang could only say under pressure, "Sun Liancheng, even if Chief Prosecutor Chen made some mistakes, look at his age. We should respect the elderly and be lenient with him."

"Sun Liancheng, don't worry. I will hold a serious meeting to discuss your issue of laziness when I get back, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Seeing Li Dakang resurface, Sun Liancheng narrowed his eyes and said with great displeasure, "Li Dakang, whoever tries to persuade me, it shouldn't be you! You're the one who called me lazy, you're the one who said I wasn't doing my job, and you're the one who demoted me to an instructor at the Youth Palace!"

Li Dakang had a terrible headache, but he still patiently explained, "Sun Liancheng, I admit that I handled your situation somewhat extremely. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and on behalf of myself, I apologize to you."

"I hope that we can discuss anything after the meeting. I assure you that the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"It's too late, Li Dakang. Do you think all that empty talk is of any use to me now?" Sun Liancheng glanced at Li Dakang, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Li Dakang, I'll say one more thing, and from now on we're even!"

Li Dakang's eyes widened suddenly, a sense of foreboding washing over him...

Then Sun Liancheng shouted, "I am filing a formal complaint against Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City. His divorce from his wife, Ouyang Jing, has serious legal loopholes; the divorce is invalid!"

Therefore, Li Dakang and Ouyang Jing are still husband and wife, and Li Dakang cannot escape responsibility for Ouyang Jing's embezzlement and bribery case!

Even Gao Yuliang was stunned. He had only one thought in his mind: Is Li Dakang really that stupid? He can't even handle a divorce properly. That can't be right, can it?

Li Dakang was stunned. He had no problem getting a divorce, so where did this come from?

Sha Ruijin's expression changed drastically. He couldn't believe that Li Dakang, as the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, would make such a basic mistake!

Sha Ruijin stared intently at Sun Liancheng and questioned, "Sun Liancheng, I know you resent Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, but this is no laughing matter. It's a fact that Li Dakang and Ouyang Jing are divorced. How can that be wrong?"

"The marriage is over, but due to serious legal loopholes, the divorce is invalid!"

Sun Liancheng looked at Li Dakang and smiled slightly: "Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, notified the Jingzhou Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau on the day of the divorce. Two comrades from the Civil Affairs Bureau came to Li Dakang's home to handle the divorce. I won't mention the small abuse of power."

"However, the two staff members from the Civil Affairs Bureau gave Li Dakang and Ouyang Jing two divorce agreements that had already been stamped with the official seal."

"What I want to inform everyone is that the divorce agreement in Handong Province still uses the old version, which has special requirements for the divorce process: it must be signed first and then stamped to take effect."

Therefore, the divorce agreement that Li Dakang stamped before signing is invalid!
