Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang joined forces.
Sha Ruijin narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly calculating the pros and cons in his mind, but on the surface he still maintained a calm expression.
Gao Yuliang continued, "The political circles in Handong are now intricately intertwined. Once such a political questioning program is launched, it will inevitably disrupt the existing balance and may plunge Handong into an even more chaotic situation."
Li Dakang nodded repeatedly and added, "Secretary Sha, Secretary Yuliang is right. We can't just rush into this program based on enthusiasm alone. We have to consider it from a long-term and overall perspective."
Seeing this, some of the other members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee nodded slightly in agreement, while others remained frowning, pondering the various possibilities.
Sha Ruijin coughed lightly and said slowly, "Comrades Yuliang and Dakang, the situation you are worried about does exist, but we cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater. The problems in Handong have been piling up for a long time. If we don't find an effective breakthrough, when will we be able to truly improve the current situation?"
Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang exchanged a glance, about to speak again in rebuttal, but Sha Ruijin raised his hand to signal them to stop and continued, "How about this, we might as well set up a research group to conduct in-depth research on the various situations that the 'Ask the Government of Handong' program may cause, and widely solicit opinions from all parties. After the research results are in, we will make a final decision based on the actual situation. What do you all think?"
After listening, the Standing Committee members nodded in agreement, and the heated debate came to a temporary end. However, everyone knew in their hearts that the controversy surrounding the "Ask the Government of Handong" program was far from over.
144. Zhao Anbang and the Han Da gang split, and Handong entered a three-way power struggle.
144. Zhao Anbang and the Han Da gang split, and Handong entered a three-way power struggle.
Sha Ruijin keenly sensed that Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang had tacitly joined forces because of the program plan for "Asking the Government of Handong".
As a result, Zhao Anbang will inevitably harbor resentment and have a grudge in his heart.
The foundation of cooperation will inevitably be cracked.
He could then adapt to the situation and try to win over Zhao Anbang.
On their side, they only had Tian Guofu and Wu Chunlin, those two votes. However, Sha Ruijin was a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, the leader of the group.
He has a veto power, which can be used as leverage by Sha Ruijin.
Sha Ruijin was astute, and Zhao Anbang was no pushover either. He had inherited Governor Liu's political legacy and held three votes.
Qin Sidong, the head of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee, was promoted by Governor Liu. He now supports Zhao Anbang.
Yang Biao, a member of the Standing Committee and Vice Governor, fully supports Zhao Anbang.
I just don't know what the attitudes of Propaganda Minister Su Qing and Military Region Commander Han Shanhu are.
This is questionable.
In addition, Wang Zheng, the former executive vice governor, was arrested by Lin Yunfei.
That bastard Wang Zheng almost killed me.
Thinking of this, Sha Ruijin's face turned gloomy.
Requesting flowers...
The Standing Committee meeting of the Handong Provincial Party Committee has just concluded. Another wave of controversy has arisen, with the meeting's results spreading rapidly.
Anyone with the ability can find out.
Li Dakang, secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Gao Yuliang, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, joined forces to oppose the "Questioning the Government of Handong" program proposed by Governor Zhao Anbang.
Lin Yunfei remained expressionless as he followed Zhao Anbang back to the provincial government building of Handong Province.
As soon as he entered the office, Lin Yunfei calmly said, "There is resistance."
"Uncle Zhao, but I didn't expect that Li Dakang would actually join forces with Gao Yuliang?"
Lin Yunfei walked to the water dispenser, squatted down, picked up a disposable cup, and filled it with twice the amount of warm water.
"I've hit the Han University gang's weak point."
Zhao Anbang snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes: "Han University Gang? It's just a temporary alliance. Li Dakang is ambitious, and Gao Yuliang is cunning and scheming."
Zhao Anbang sat behind his desk, his fingers lightly tapping the surface, his eyes deep. "Yunfei, this Han University gang seems like a united front. Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang's alliance is only a temporary alignment of interests."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside. “Once the program ‘Ask the Government of Handong’ is launched, it will affect the interests of many people, and they will naturally jump out to oppose it. But this is also good, so that we can see clearly who can be won over and who must be guarded against.”
Lin Yunfei walked to Zhao Anbang's side, expressionless and nonchalant, and asked, "Uncle Zhao, what should we do next?"
Zhao Anbang turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips. "No rush. Sha Ruijin is definitely making his own plans. Let's wait and see, and at the same time, be prepared to see who's really on Chiang Kai-shek's side and who's on Wang Jingwei's side."
"Yunfei, tell me honestly. Who else on the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee in Handong Province is related to you?" Zhao Anbang leaned forward, his hands clasped, his eyes fixed on Lin Yunfei.
Lin Yunfei held the water glass, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly sat down: "Uncle Zhao, there really is one."
"who is it?"
Lin Yunfei, with a serious expression, slowly began to speak in a deep voice: "Su Qing, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda."
A look of astonishment flashed across Zhao Anbang's face: "Su Qing? It's actually her?"
“That’s right. Uncle Zhao, Su Qing’s father, Su Weidong, served as my father’s bodyguard and secretary for seven years.” Lin Yunfei said slowly, his expression very serious, in a deep voice.
Zhao Anbang's expression was complex. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I see. This relationship is indeed important. Su Qing's attitude is crucial. She is a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and holds a vote."
“If she can support ‘Asking the Government of Handong,’ the situation will change dramatically. You need to act cautiously and not be too hasty. First, test her attitude, and then gradually win her support.” Zhao Anbang took a deep breath, his eyes sharp.
"Remember, the game is not over yet, and every move requires careful consideration."
Lin Yunfei thought for a moment and then slowly said, "I will do my best, Uncle Zhao."
"Tonight, I'm taking my wife to the provincial party committee compound."
. . . . . .
That afternoon, in Building No. 2 of the Provincial Party Committee compound.
Gao Yuliang sat on the high-end sofa, wearing a gray wool sweater and glasses. The ashtray on the glass coffee table was covered with cigarette butts.
Wu Huifen had just gotten off work and walked in with an arrogant attitude, glancing at him and asking, "Teacher Gao, what's wrong with you?"
"Something went wrong at today's provincial party committee standing committee meeting?" Wu Huifen keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Hmm, the person in the high position seems off.
Gao Yuliang slowly raised his head, a burning cigarette between his fingers, exhaling smoke: "Today, Zhao Anbang proposed to collaborate with CCTV's news channel on a program questioning the government of Handong..."
If this program gets going, it will be detrimental to many people. Those who are usually inactive or act recklessly will all be exposed to the light of day.
Wu Huifen frowned and sat down on the sofa next to her: "What is Li Dakang's attitude?"
Gao Yuliang flicked his cigarette ash lightly: "He and I joined forces to oppose this program plan."
Wu Huifen nodded slightly and analyzed, "That makes sense. Li Dakang has always only cared about political achievements, so he naturally wouldn't want a program that might cause trouble."
Gao Yuliang snorted coldly: "But that guy Sha Ruijin is definitely plotting something behind the scenes. He won't let this opportunity pass by to suppress us."
Wu Huifen pondered for a moment, then asked with concern, "What's the latest news from Zhao Anbang's side?"
Gao Yuliang narrowed his eyes: "Zhao Anbang is no pushover either. He inherited Governor Liu's political legacy and has at least three votes in his hands. Moreover, he's very close to Lin Yunfei. I wonder how many connections that kid Lin Yunfei has among the provincial standing committee members?"
Wu Huifen was somewhat worried and pointed out the crux of the matter: "Then the situation becomes very complicated. It's a three-way standoff, and no one knows how it will end."
Gao Yuliang stood up and paced around the room: "That's right, now it's a matter of who can find a breakthrough first and win over more support. It seems that a major upheaval is about to occur in Handong."
Wu Huifen looked at Gao Yuliang: "So what do you plan to do?"
Gao Yuliang stopped, his eyes resolute: "Let's observe the situation and see what Sha Ruijin and Zhao Anbang do next. At the same time, we must be on guard and not let them succeed easily."
"If a fight really breaks out, it will be... a fight to the death."
Wu Huifen's expression turned serious: "The Han University gang has a huge influence in Handong. They have as many as 70 to 80,000 people, all of whom are in the political and legal system."
(Li Lezhao) "Now I'm worried... what if..." Wu Huifen said, her face turning ashen.
The implication is that, should Zhao Anbang choose to join forces with Sha Ruijin, the top two leaders of the provincial party committee have reached an agreement.
Gao Yuliang has almost no chance of winning.
Wu Huifen frowned and looked at Gao Yuliang: "Are you confused, Teacher Gao? This was such a great situation."
“I’m not confused. Let me tell you, ‘Asking the government in Handong’ means conducting both overt and covert investigations to examine the livelihood issues of this prefecture-level city.”
"Not long ago, gangster Gao Mingyuan was sniped and killed by a mysterious person with a sniper rifle." Gao Yuliang suddenly turned around, his voice rising eight decibels.
“Wang Zheng confessed himself. Gao Mingyuan is in Lvteng City, nicknamed the Minister of the Underground Organization Department. He practically controls everything.”
Gao Yuliang made a startling statement: "He Yun, the executive deputy director of the Green Vine City Public Security Bureau, actually gave birth to a son for Gao Mingyuan."
Wu Huifen's expression was extremely strange: "Teacher Gao, this is what your Gao family is like. Cold-hearted and ungrateful."
Gao Yuliang was speechless and unable to refute.
145. Zhao Ruilong is furious and seeks revenge after the Huilong Group is seized.
Qin Siyuan, accompanied by two staff members, entered the office: "Vice Mayor Lin, we are from the Supreme People's Procuratorate's special task force. We have some questions we'd like to ask about."
Lin Yunfei was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure and nodded, saying, "Okay, Director Qin, please have a seat. Ask me anything, I'll do my best to cooperate with your investigation. And who are these two?"
Qin Siyuan pointed to the two people beside him: "This is Xiao Zhang, who is in charge of taking notes; Xiao Li, who is in charge of organizing the data."
Lin Yunfei glanced at the two men, smiled and nodded: "Understood, Director Qin. What aspect of the situation would you like to know?"
Qin Siyuan slowly began, "We want to know about Chen Hai, your ex."
Lin Yunfei hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "Chen Hai's case is quite complicated. When he was the district head of Guangming District, the infamous 116 Incident occurred. The 116 Incident involved multiple officials and implicated huge sums of money misappropriation and illegal land approvals, with extremely negative consequences."
Qin Siyuan slowly opened his mouth and asked, "According to you, Chen Hai made a mistake in the land approval process?"
Lin Yunfei pondered for a moment, then said gravely, "This... I don't know, it requires your investigation. However, regarding Chen Hai's issue... Provincial Public Security Bureau Director Qi Tongwei, and Municipal Public Security Bureau Director Zhao Donglai."
"During the joint search, three tons of cash were found in Chen Hai's home."
Lin Yunfei's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke: "This is the truth. Three tons of cash, an astonishing amount, is indeed shocking. Chen Hai's corrupt behavior has clearly exceeded the imagination of ordinary people."
Qin Siyuan slowly began, "Do you know the specific source and purpose of this cash? This is crucial for us to trace the flow of funds."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know. At that time, I was already the vice mayor of Jingzhou City."
“I hold no official position in the Bright District,” Lin Yunfei said slowly, leaning forward. His expression was extremely serious.
Qin Siyuan continued to ask, "Vice Mayor Lin, do you think... Chen Hai would embezzle?"
Lin Yunfei gave an irrelevant answer: "I feel very heartbroken. I never expected Chen Hai to be such a hypocritical person."
Qin Siyuan: "......"
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, let's go."
