Sha Ruijin, the four of you need to avoid the area!

Gao Yuliang glanced at the Standing Committee members present, and finally his gaze fell on Sha Ruijin. He smiled slightly and said, "I have also made a preliminary understanding of the heinous incident that occurred at the Handong Provincial Procuratorate today. What I have learned is exactly the opposite of what Comrade Ruijin just said."

"As far as I know, Comrade Sun Liancheng, the former instructor of the Jingzhou Children's Palace, went to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate to file a real-name report against officials in Handong Province with the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate."

"And the result?"

"As a result, Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, not only refused to file a case against the officials reported by Comrade Sun Liancheng by name, but also protected the officials who were reported by name at every turn. Sun Liancheng was furious and denounced Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, for inaction."

"Sun Liancheng's behavior thoroughly angered Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Hou Liangping tried to beat Sun Liancheng, but he failed."

Gao Yuliang's expression was equally serious. He slammed his fingers on the table and angrily shouted, "Comrades, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province beat one of our complainants who filed a formal complaint right here in the lobby of the Provincial Procuratorate, in full view of everyone!"

"Isn't that ironic?"

"Is it ridiculous?"

"No…" Gao Yuliang angrily retorted, "This is knowingly breaking the law, this is challenging the bottom line of the law, challenging the bottom line of prosecutors! This is blatant illegality and crime!"

"When I heard this news, I could hardly believe my ears. The head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau was openly protecting the officials reported by Comrade Sun Liancheng, and even turning against Comrade Sun Liancheng, the whistleblower!"

"Comrades, I've reviewed the provincial procuratorate's surveillance footage. Do you know what happened next?"

"Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate, made the first move. Even though he couldn't beat Comrade Sun Liancheng, the Provincial Procuratorate still ganged up on Comrade Sun Liancheng, the whistleblower. After taking Comrade Sun Liancheng into custody, I don't know what the Provincial Procuratorate was thinking, but they even locked up Comrade Sun Liancheng, the whistleblower, in the interrogation room."

"To this day, Comrade Sun Liancheng, the whistleblower, is still being held in the interrogation room!"

Gao Yuliang slammed his fist on the table in anger and loudly questioned, "Such reckless and lawless behavior! I just want to ask, is the Handong Provincial Procuratorate still a people's procuratorate? Is there any fairness left? Is there any justice left?"

"Beating a whistleblower is the biggest scandal since the establishment of the Handong political and legal system!"

Gao Yuliang angrily said, "I suggest that Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, be expelled from the Party and immediately arrested and brought to justice. He should be held criminally liable according to law, without any leniency!"

The meeting room fell completely silent after Gao Yuliang finished speaking!

Two high-ranking officials in Handong Province, one the top leader and the other the second-in-command, handled this matter with completely different, even drastically different, outcomes!

Sha Ruijin, Secretary of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee, suggested that Sun Liancheng be severely punished according to law, while Hou Liangping, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate, was a victim!

Gao Yuliang, the governor of Handong Province, suggested the immediate arrest of Hou Liangping, the director of the anti-corruption bureau of the provincial procuratorate, claiming that Sun Liancheng was a victim!

Who is right and who is wrong?

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin frowned, his face grim. He hadn't expected Gao Yuliang to openly contradict him and even completely reject his suggestions, showing no regard for the consequences.

Sha Ruijin stared coldly at Gao Yuliang and said in a chilling voice, "Comrade Yuliang, are you sure you're not joking?"

"Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, was beaten so badly that he was admitted to the intensive care unit, and you want to arrest him immediately? And Sun Liancheng, the unscathed murderer sitting in the interrogation room, is now the victim you're talking about?"

Gao Yuliang and Sha Ruijin looked at each other and said with a slight smile, "Comrade Ruijin, you can study the law more when you have free time. In today's society, it's no longer the case that whoever is more seriously injured is right."

"Right is right, wrong is wrong. Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, struck first and was beaten when he lost. This is his own fault and cannot cover up the fact that Hou Liangping, as a prosecutor in Handong Province, struck the whistleblower first."

When the topic turned to law, Lu Zhenguo, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, knew that Sha Ruijin was no match for Gao Yuliang, a professor of law at Handong University. He immediately chimed in, "Governor Gao, we need to review the surveillance footage before we can reach a conclusion on right and wrong."

"Can."

Gao Yuliang knew that Lu Zhenguo wouldn't admit defeat until he was faced with a desperate situation, so he smiled and readily agreed to Lu Zhenguo's request.

Before long, the Provincial Party Committee Office had completed its preparations. A huge LCD screen began playing the surveillance video from the lobby of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. The lobby of the procuratorate was equipped with many synchronous recording devices, so there was absolutely no situation where the evidence was incomplete.

At Gao Yuliang's request, the remote control was placed on the conference table in front of him.

Soon, Hou Liangping, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, wearing a leather jacket, walked into the hall, followed shortly by Sun Liancheng.

"Hou Liangping, I heard you've been looking for me? Going to the hospital and to my house?"

"What, is this never going to end?"

Seeing this, Gao Yuliang pressed the pause button and said, "By the way, there's one more thing. Because of Chen Yanshi's hospitalization, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate summoned Sun Liancheng on charges of framing and framing."

"Here, the director of the anti-corruption bureau summoned Sun Liancheng directly before confirming whether he had framed or fabricated the charges, which is already suspected of abusing his power. Let's continue to look at the details."

Next, Sun Liancheng, who was on surveillance footage, began to file a formal complaint against Chen Yanshi.

"Since I'm already here at the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province, I might as well use this opportunity to file a formal complaint against Chen Yanshi, the former Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, for multiple crimes!"

"First, Chen Yanshi, taking advantage of his position as deputy chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, disregarded the Handong Provincial Civil Servant Recruitment Rules and sent his son Chen Hai, who failed the exam, to the Handong Provincial Procuratorate in place of someone else."

"Secondly, Chen Yanshi abused his position and his special relationship with Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin to extort 20 mu of industrial land for Dafeng Factory without compensation, which is an illegal land approval and is suspected of embezzling state-owned assets."

"Third, the Dafeng Factory No. 1 stock certificate held by Chen Yanshi through Zheng Xipo is now worth more than 10 million yuan. This is an extremely serious case of embezzlement and bribery with a negative social impact."

Next, Sun Liancheng, as seen in the surveillance footage, provided a detailed explanation of his three formal accusations:

"Hou Liangping, I remember you entered the procuratorate together with Chen Hai. Weren't you two on good terms? You should know very well how he got into the procuratorate."

"Furthermore, Dafeng Factory wanted industrial land, but the land approved for Dafeng Factory by the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee is commercial land. Hou Liangping, as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, you arbitrarily changed the land use designation. I'm asking you, isn't that illegal?"

"Furthermore, the land currently used by Dafeng Factory is a commercial land with a market value of over 600 million yuan, but the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee sold it to Dafeng Factory for only 6 million yuan. I ask you, isn't this embezzlement of state-owned assets?"

"Oh, no, the six million was for Dafeng Factory to buy new equipment. In other words, the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee gave Dafeng Factory 20 acres of commercial land for free."

"Hou Liangping, then you tell me, is it illegal or not to give away state-owned land to Dafeng Factory for factory construction?"

Faced with Sun Liancheng's series of questions, Hou Liangping kept dodging and changing the subject, which completely angered Sun Liancheng, who then directly berated Hou Liangping.

Of course, Hou Liangping also mocked Sun Liancheng, but he didn't win the argument.

It wasn't until Hou Liangping charged forward aggressively and grabbed Sun Liancheng by the collar that Gao Yuliang pressed the pause button and looked at Lu Zhenguo, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

"Comrade Zhenguo, you've seen the video. Who do you think started it?"

Lu Zhenguo, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, gritted his teeth, his face extremely pale, and sat there silently without saying a word, cursing Hou Liangping as an idiot in his heart.

Gao Yuliang glanced at Lu Zhenguo, smiled sarcastically, and continued playing the video. In the surveillance footage, Sun Liancheng gave Hou Liangping three seconds before taking action.

Finally, staff from the provincial procuratorate apprehended Sun Liancheng, who then filed a formal complaint with Lu Yike.

However, this time, in addition to Chen Yanshi, the people who made the real-name report also included Sha Ruijin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; Tian Guofu, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission; Lu Zhenguo, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; and Li Dakang, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Upon seeing this, Gao Yuliang pressed pause, turned to look at the Standing Committee members present, and said softly, "Having seen this, there's no need to read any further, because Comrade Sha Ruijin, Comrade Lu Zhenguo, Comrade Tian Guofu, and Comrade Li Dakang, as the four people involved in the case, need to recuse themselves."
