Sha Rui Jin said in a deep voice: “Uncle Chen, according to what you said, the problems of the Shan Shui Group are not small. However, these are all your speculations, you have no conclusive evidence?”
Chen Yan Shi shook his head: “I have no evidence. Hai Zi has been looking for evidence of Ding Yi Zhen and the Shan Shui Group, but he was transferred away from the Anti-Corruption Bureau. I think this is Li Da Kang's retaliation against him!”
Putting down his chopsticks, Chen Yan Shi continued: “I also heard that Lu Liang, the acting director who took over, had a car accident today. Is someone trying to cover something up, so they keep attacking the Anti-Corruption Bureau?”
Wang Fu Zhen immediately spoke up for her son: “Xiao Jin Zi, you tell me, the Anti-Corruption Bureau didn't watch over Ding Yi Zhen, and let him escape. But you just said that you can't blame everything on the person in charge, right?”
Sha Rui Jin considered his words and said: “Uncle Chen, Aunt Wang, Hai Zi was not dismissed, he was just transferred. I wasn't in Jing Zhou at the time, and I didn't know much about the situation. I authorized Gao Yu Liang to handle the matter as he saw fit.”
Wang Fu Zhen quickly said: “Xiao Jin Zi, now that you know the situation, you should let Hai Zi return to the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Li Da Kang is retaliating against Hai Zi, and he's also trying to prevent the Anti-Corruption Bureau from continuing its investigation into the Shan Shui Group.”
Sha Rui Jin quickly changed the subject and asked: “Uncle Chen, Aunt Wang, you both said that Li Da Kang was retaliating against Hai Zi. How did Hai Zi offend Li Da Kang?”
He had already invited a powerful figure from the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau to Han Dong to serve as the acting director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. He was stirring up the murky waters of Han Dong's officialdom, so naturally, he couldn't let Chen Hai return to the Anti-Corruption Bureau now.
Chen Yan Shi shook his head: “Li Da Kang is narrow-minded and stubborn. On the one hand, it was the night of Ding Yi Zhen's report meeting. Hai Zi and Chief Prosecutor Ji Chang Ming disagreed with Li Da Kang's proposal to let the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission handle Ding Yi Zhen, and insisted on handing over the investigation authority to the Supreme People's Procuratorate. This angered Li Da Kang. On the other hand, I spoke up for the workers of the Da Feng Factory, and Li Da Kang was very unhappy with me.”
Wang Fu Zhen added: “Besides retaliating against our Hai Zi, Old Chen also mentioned that Li Da Kang was also trying to stop the Anti-Corruption Bureau from continuing its investigation into the Shan Shui Group. Lu Liang was killed in a car accident right after he took over the Anti-Corruption Bureau.”
“Aunt Wang, Lu Liang's accident was an accident. This is the result of the Provincial Department's investigation. Comrade Ji Chang Ming also reviewed the materials, and the evidence chain is complete. It was indeed caused by a drunk driver.” Sha Rui Jin said.
While he said that, Sha Rui Jin's face was gloomy. There was something he didn't say: If this was the case, then Li Da Kang's problem was indeed quite serious, and he was very likely to be deeply involved with the Shan Shui Group.
Chen Yan Shi said seriously: “Xiao Jin Zi, based on my many years of experience in prosecutorial work, I can be sure that Lu Liang was assassinated. Someone probably used the drunk driver.”
Sha Rui Jin nodded in agreement: “The timing of this car accident is indeed a bit suspicious. I will have people investigate thoroughly. We must investigate to the bottom of it until we find out the truth.”
Chen Yan Shi reminded: “Xiao Jin Zi, you just said that the evidence chain of the car accident is complete, and Comrade Ji Chang Ming couldn't see any flaws. Unless it's a criminal investigation expert, it's usually impossible to find anything.”
Sha Rui Jin said firmly: “Then let's get a criminal investigation expert to investigate. Also, I've contacted Director Qin of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau. He will immediately send a capable comrade to Han Dong to be the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.”
Wang Fu Zhen said anxiously: “Xiao Jin Zi, what about Hai Zi's work?”
Chen Yan Shi quickly said: “The organization will naturally arrange Hai Zi's work. Why are you so anxious?”
The couple sang in unison, forcing Sha Rui Jin to make a statement: “Don't worry, I will make other arrangements for Hai Zi's work.”
Chen Yan Shi immediately struck a high note: “Hai Zi's work doesn't matter. Don't make Xiao Jin Zi feel pressured. Hai Zi is busy with work, it's rare that he has time off. It's good for him to go on a trip for a while.”
After singing his praises, Chen Yan Shi continued to criticize Li Da Kang: “Xiao Jin Zi, the problems in Han Dong are quite serious. The person who can use a drunk driver to kill Lu Liang, and the person who helped Ding Yi Zhen escape, must not be ordinary people. They must be in high positions with great power, and they are most likely the same person!”
Although Chen Yan Shi didn't directly mention Li Da Kang's name this time, the descriptive words like “in high positions” and “with great power” clearly pointed to Li Da Kang.
Sha Rui Jin pondered and said: “If it's the same person, the problem is indeed quite serious… If it's not the same person, the problem is even more serious.”
If it's the same person, it means that only one high-ranking official is in trouble. If it's not the same person, it means that two high-ranking officials are in trouble.
Chen Yan Shi echoed: “Yes, in the whole of Han Dong, there are not many people who can do these two things, and there are even fewer people who have the motivation to do these two things!”
His meaning was very clear. In Han Dong, the person with both the ability and the motive to do these two things was most likely Li Da Kang.
“Makes sense.” Sha Rui Jin understood Chen Yan Shi's meaning, but Li Da Kang was a member of the Provincial Party Committee after all. Without concrete evidence, Sha Rui Jin couldn't just point fingers at him.
……
Li Da Kang, as always, went home to write after work. He didn't like socializing. In this small patch of land in Han Dong, there was no one who could make him socialize.
The only people who could summon Li Da Kang were Sha Rui Jin, Secretary Liu, and a few others. But they wouldn't call Li Da Kang out to eat and drink for no reason, unless a big leader came down from above.
Every day after work, after having dinner, Li Da Kang would write and copy books using language software. He copied 5 chapters each of three online novels. Not only was it not tiring, but it was also a pleasant way to spend his time.
After copying the daily update volume, Li Da Kang would exercise, trying to quit smoking through exercise. Health is the foundation of everything in life. Without health, everything is in vain.
While Li Da Kang was sweating profusely, Hou Liang Ping was also sweating profusely. But Hou Liang Ping wasn't exercising. He was striking the bell. Hou Liang Ping was going to Han Dong to be the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau tomorrow.
Zhong Xiao Ai agreed to Hou Liang Ping going to Han Dong to be the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. After all, it was a promotion for him. Hou Liang Ping was only enjoying the treatment of a deputy department-level official, but he didn't hold a real position.
Going to Han Dong as the acting director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the word “acting” would undoubtedly be removed soon, and he would be able to become a full-fledged department-level official, essentially a two-level jump in a very short period of time.
And with experience in local work, it was like gilding. With the Zhong family's support, he would have a better chance of returning to the Supreme People's Procuratorate in Yan Cheng, becoming a vice minister wouldn't be too difficult, and being a minister was also possible.
The next morning, Hou Liang Ping boarded the flight to Jing Zhou, Han Dong. His legs were a little weak. After a man turns forty, he inevitably starts going downhill. It's not comparable to when he was younger.
Li Da Kang, however, was refreshed and rejuvenated. He started quitting smoking, started exercising. Although it was only a few days, it had already shown results. His complexion was much better, making him look several years younger.
When he arrived at his office, Li Da Kang handled some work for a while. At 9:40, his secretary Xiao Jin came in to remind him, so Li Da Kang got up and went to the provincial government. He had a Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting at 10.
It only took 10 minutes to get from the city government to the provincial government. Today's Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting was the first one chaired by Sha Rui Jin. Li Da Kang closed his eyes and rested, trying to anticipate what Sha Rui Jin would say.
They say a new official brings three fires. Sha Rui Jin would be no exception. Han Dong had the Han Da faction and the secretary faction. Sha Rui Jin, who had been parachuted in, would probably conduct a stress test on both factions.
Whether he would first conduct a stress test on the Han Da faction or the secretary faction, or be even more ruthless and conduct a stress test on both factions at the same time, it was hard to say.
But Li Da Kang could be sure that one of the main topics of today's Standing Committee meeting would be personnel appointments and dismissals. The list of 125 cadres to be promoted left behind by Zhao Li Chun would definitely be frozen by Sha Rui Jin.
Zhao Li Chun lacked responsibility to some extent. He didn't promote these people before he left, instead, he left the decision to Sha Rui Jin. Anyone with a normal brain knew that the successor would not simply approve the list left by the predecessor.
Li Da Kang didn't know what Zhao Li Chun was thinking, but he could be sure what Sha Rui Jin was thinking. Sha Rui Jin wouldn't promote anyone that Zhao Li Chun wanted to promote but didn't promote. Sha Rui Jin wasn't stupid.
At 9:50, Li Da Kang arrived at the provincial government. He walked to the meeting room, and some members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee were already there. It was almost 10, and the other members who hadn't arrived also came to the meeting room one after another.
The last person to enter the meeting room was Sha Rui Jin. He arrived on time. It was unclear whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but he walked into the meeting room exactly at 10, neither early nor late.
Sha Rui Jin began his first Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting as the secretary of the Han Dong Provincial Party Committee. As Li Da Kang expected, Sha Rui Jin came with great ambitions. The Standing Committee meeting hadn't started long before he began the stress test.
