The Provincial Party Committee Building in Handong, the office of the Provincial Party Secretary.
boom!
Sha Ruijin's face was ashen, and he held a newspaper in his hand. He stared at the photo of Gao Yuliang embracing Gao Xiaofeng. He slammed his right hand on the desk.
"This Gao Yuliang actually kept a mistress behind the organization's back!"
"Moreover, this mistress is named Gao Xiaofeng, and she is the younger sister of Gao Xiaoqin, the CEO of Shanshui Group."
Sha Ruijin put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Tian Guofu, the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, in front of him: "Comrade Guofu, do you know about this matter?"
Tian Guofu shook his head: "Personally, I cannot agree with this professor."
"Secretary Sha, our provincial discipline inspection commission has discovered that in the reception room of Shanshui Manor, Gao Yuliang and Gao Xiaoqin... no, it should be Gao Xiaofeng shaking hands."
There have been rumors that Gao Xiaoqin is Gao Yuliang's niece.
"Now it seems we've all been deceived. Gao Xiaoqin is already Gao Yuliang's sister-in-law," said Tian Guofu, the provincial discipline inspection commission secretary, slowly and incisively.
Sha Ruijin's face was ashen as he stared at Tian Guofu: "Comrade Guofu, so much time has passed, what has your provincial discipline inspection commission found out? The January 16th Incident happened so long ago."
"The Gao Mingyuan death case, the Hou Liangping murder case, the Liu Xinjian murder case, and the March 28th bombing case."
"You have no idea about the true relationship between Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Yuliang."
"This incident was actually revealed by this entertainment media outlet."
"Is this true? Or is it a frame-up?" Sha Ruijin asked slowly, his expression grave, his scrutinizing gaze fixed on Tian Guofu.
Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu's face stiffened, his mind racing: "Secretary Sha, we are still investigating further, and we have some preliminary leads. We are just about to find an opportunity to report to you."
Sha Ruijin snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction: "Comrade Guofu, you represent the Provincial Party Committee to speak with Gao Yuliang and inquire about the matter of this Gao Xiaofeng."
Tian Guofu cautiously probed, "Secretary Sha, what if this is true?"
Sha Ruijin fell silent: "If it's true, then we should ask Gao Yuliang's wife, Comrade Wu Huifen. Let's hear her opinion."
Because Sha Ruijin is currently unaware that Gao Yuliang has already divorced.
In his subconscious, Gao Yuliang's current problem is that he violates regulations, not laws.
In these kinds of cases, the authorities won't investigate unless the victim's wife comes forward to provide evidence.
Then this matter will be resolved peacefully, and nothing will happen at all.
Sha Ruijin never expected that Gao Yuliang had already ended his marriage with Wu Huifen, which meant that once the matter was confirmed, the nature of the situation might change significantly.
At this moment, after receiving instructions from Sha Ruijin, Tian Guofu did not dare to delay and immediately arranged a conversation with Gao Yuliang.
When Tian Guofu met Gao Yuliang, Gao Yuliang remained calm and composed on the surface, as if nothing had happened.
Tian Guofu got straight to the point, mentioning Gao Xiaofeng's situation and the various reports in the media.
“Secretary Yuliang. I think you know why I’m talking to you. The media has reported that you’re keeping a mistress named Gao Xiaofeng.”
"This Gao Xiaofeng is the younger sister of Gao Xiaoqin, the CEO of Shanshui Group."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, but he quickly regained his composure and used some ambiguous words to evade the question: "This is nothing but malicious fabrication by the media, and it is someone with ulterior motives trying to frame him."
“Secretary Tian, I believe in the principle that the innocent will prove innocent.”
"Who can prove that I have a relationship with this Gao Xiaofeng... or Gao Xiaoqin?" Gao Yuliang began to argue, asking rhetorically.
How can you prove I'm guilty?
Tian Guofu looked at Gao Yuliang, thinking to himself, "This old fox who has been navigating the officialdom for many years is indeed not so easy to deal with." But he was not swayed by Gao Yuliang's words. Instead, he continued to ask more detailed questions, trying to find flaws in Gao Yuliang's answers.
While dealing with the situation, Gao Yuliang was also mentally planning how to handle the crisis. He knew that if he did not handle it well, his political career might come to an end.

Meanwhile, in the provincial party committee building in Handong, Sha Ruijin anxiously awaited Tian Guofu's report. He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it could cause a huge political upheaval in Handong Province. He paced back and forth in his office, pondering a solution.
Sha Ruijin doesn't dare to bring Gao Yuliang down now.
It's a fantasy that someone could bring down a deputy provincial party secretary simply by keeping a mistress.
As long as no evidence of Gao Yuliang's illegal and criminal activities is found, there will be no evidence of his crimes.
Sha Ruijin didn't dare to make a move; he was extremely wary of Gao Yuliang.
. . . . .
“Secretary Sha, I have already asked Gao Yuliang. He does not admit to having any relationship with Gao Xiaofeng.”
..... .... ...
Tian Guofu walked into the room with a serious expression.
Sha Ruijin stopped pacing and looked sharply at Tian Guofu: "He won't admit it? Then how do you explain the photos leaked by the media? And what about the complicated relationships between him, Gao Xiaoqin, and Gao Xiaofeng? Are they all just baseless rumors?"
Tian Guofu shook his head helplessly: "Gao Yuliang claimed that it was malicious fabrication by the media to frame him. He even asked us who could prove that he had a relationship with Gao Xiaofeng, saying that just because Gao Xiaoqin is Gao Xiaofeng's sister doesn't prove anything."
Sha Ruijin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Comrade Guofu, we cannot draw conclusions based solely on his one-sided account. We must continue the investigation and find conclusive evidence."
“Gao Yuliang has been operating in Handong Province for many years and is deeply entrenched. We cannot alert him, but we also cannot allow him to continue to do whatever he wants.”
Tian Guofu nodded: "Secretary Sha, I understand. I have already arranged for people to investigate the Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng sisters to see if we can find any useful clues. At the same time, our Discipline Inspection Commission is investigating Gao Yuliang's financial accounts."
Sha Ruijin nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. This matter must be kept secret and not leaked. We need to investigate in secret, and once the evidence is conclusive, we will report to Z Yang."
At this point, Sha Ruijin also realized that this political struggle had only just begun, and the road ahead was long and arduous. However, he firmly believed that as long as principles were upheld and the law was followed, a clean and honest political environment could certainly be restored to Handong Province.

“Dad, Grandpa. I believe corruption is inseparable from the economy and from regulation.”
"Corruption is an economic problem, not a political one," Lin Yunfei analyzed incisively, looking at his grandfather Lin Jianguo and father-in-law Zhao Mengsheng.
"The issue of political line requires struggle and unity."
Lin Yunfei's expression was serious and composed: "Sha Ruijin broke the rules and started the Sha Family Gang in Handong Province. He even once told Li Dakang that there's nothing he can't do if he wants to."
"Isn't this just trying to establish an independent kingdom in Handong?" Lin Yunfei said, making a startling statement.
Upon hearing his grandson's words, Lin Jianguo nodded in approval: "Very good, Yunfei. It seems you've grown a lot in the past six months in Handong."
Zhao Mengsheng, his temples streaked with gray, spoke with a strong voice, raising his right hand to point at his son-in-law: "Yunfei. Dad is very pleased. You've seen through the essence of politics." "543"
“You’re right. Sarekin broke the rules and lost the cabinet’s trust.”
"If Sha Ruijin had chosen Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, instead of Li Dakang when he first arrived in Handong..."
Zhao Mengsheng's gaze was sharp as he slowly spoke. In a tone of certainty, he said, "The outcome for Sha Ruijin will be completely different."
"Z Yang's original attitude was that he was satisfied with the stable state of the Handong Provincial Party Committee leadership."
Lin Jianguo nodded slightly and glanced at Zhao Mengsheng: "Sha Ruijin is not capable enough. He can't subdue Gao Yuliang, and he can't convince the Han University gang either."
“Sha Ruijin used the method of flipping the table, so he found a knife.”
Lin Yunfei continued, "That's Hou Liangping."
Lin Jianguo paused for a moment, then smiled and pointed at Lin Yunfei with his right hand: "You brat, sit down right now."
"Stability is paramount; this is an unspoken understanding among those at the top."
Lin Yunfei obediently pulled up a small stool and sat down.
Grandpa Lin Jianguo, his voice deep and powerful, put on his reading glasses: "Due to illness and physical reasons, it is harmony. Everything else is struggle."
"It's internal strife, it's a disgrace."
"These kinds of things are not allowed in a harmonious society."
These three short sentences reveal the rules of political struggle.
Stability is paramount; it overrides everything. You can fight, but you must remain stable. You cannot break the rules.
Zhao Mengsheng subconsciously pulled out a pack of special-supply cigarettes from his executive jacket, picked one up with his right hand and put it in his mouth: "You're right. In some ways, Sha Ruijin is not as good as Zhao Lichun."
Lin Yunfei's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at his father-in-law with great surprise.
Zhao Mengsheng glanced at it and said casually, "At least Zhao Lichun can still develop the economy properly."
Lin Yunfei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Dad, that's true, but Zhao Lichun also sowed many hidden dangers during his tenure. The economic data looks good, but there are many problems behind it."
Lin Jianguo took off his reading glasses and said slowly, "Yunfei has a point. Neither Sha Ruijin nor Zhao Lichun have been able to grasp the core of the political line. The political line requires both struggle and unity; neither can be lacking."
Zhao Mengsheng took a deep drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "Sha Ruijin doesn't understand unity. He only thinks about using tough methods to fight, which has made a mess of the situation in Handong. As for Zhao Lichun, he only cares about developing the economy and neglects internal unity, which has also left hidden dangers."
Lin Yunfei nodded in agreement: "Therefore, the key to the political line issue lies in how to balance the relationship between struggle and unity, and neither side should be neglected."
Lin Jianguo looked at Lin Yunfei with satisfaction in his eyes: "Your ability to have this understanding shows that you have truly grown. You must always keep this in mind when dealing with political issues in the future."
Zhao Mengsheng patted Lin Yunfei on the shoulder: "That's right, Yunfei. Stability is the priority, and we must balance struggle and unity. This is the correct direction for the political line."
"Let's get down to business. You've been in Handong these past few days. Have you noticed any problems?" Zhao Mengsheng changed the subject and asked.
Lin Yunfei's expression turned serious: "Of course there is, and the problem is very serious. Zhao Xiaohui approached me some time ago, hoping to donate 20 billion yuan to the Jingzhou Municipal Government as a political achievement for me."
Zhao Mengsheng's face darkened, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked pointedly, "You...didn't agree?"
Lin Yunfei nodded solemnly: "Dad, I am well aware of the stakes involved. Such a large donation must have some complicated background. How could I dare to agree so easily? Zhao Xiaohui is doing this simply to gain the support of our Lin family in Beijing."
Lin Jianguo took a sip of tea, holding the purple clay teapot and teacup in his hands, and slowly said, "There must be someone behind Zhao Xiaohui. 20 billion is no small amount. She is Zhao Lichun's daughter. They wouldn't do something so thankless for no reason."
"Yunfei, you made the right decision to refuse. You have to keep a clear head in this kind of thing."
Zhao Mengsheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Yunfei, continue. After Zhao Xiaohui was rejected, what other actions did she take? The person behind this should be Zhao Lichun. You need to be careful."
"Dad, I actually feel that... this Zhao Xiaohui is Zhao Lichun's strategist."
“He has the ability, the connections, and he probably… planted a mole next to Sha Ruijin.” Lin Yunfei spoke slowly with a serious expression.
Wearing his reading glasses, Lin Jianguo slowly began to speak, his voice earnest: "Absolute power breeds absolute corruption. A single thought of anger opens a million doors of obstacles."
"In Handong, the Public Security Bureau Chief Qi Tongwei was very close to Zhao Lichun's son."
"When Sha Ruijin went down, Qi Tongwei took the initiative to report on his work... As a result, Sha... didn't think much of Qi."
