Sun Liancheng knew that more waves were likely to come, so he worked quietly while preparing for the next move!
If he wasn't mistaken, with the Da Feng factory issue going this far, the Shan Shui Group would surely start to get restless?
The conflict would undoubtedly escalate, but it would no longer be related to the district government.
So the only thing left to do was to figure out how to get Li Da Kang entangled in the mess and see if his old leader, Zhao Li Chun, would protect him.
Xiao Jinzi would protect him, but would Zhao Li Chun, who was about to be promoted and transferred to Beijing, do the same?
It was truly exciting to think about!
Cai Cheng Gong was controlled by people like Qi Tong Wei and hadn't reported Ouyang Jing and Liu Xin Jian yet.
This meant the interest group behind everything hadn't been exposed.
Sun Liancheng probably knew a few of the people involved, but he didn't have a clear understanding of the details.
Even if he went to report them, it might not be helpful, and could even alert the enemy.
So these days he'd been pondering these things, thinking about how to continue making small moves without attracting attention.
However, Sun Liancheng never imagined that before he could make his move, someone else would already be targeting him!
One day, Xiao Gang Yu, the chief prosecutor of the city's procuratorate, found Sun Hai Ping, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.
"Secretary Sun, there's something I need to report to you!"
Sun Hai Ping smiled and asked, "What is it? Did you find another issue with some cadre?"
Xiao Gang Yu was startled and asked tentatively, "Secretary Sun, you already know?"
"Know what? You haven't said anything yet, I was just guessing!"
"Oh, I thought you knew everything!"
Sun Hai Ping asked, "Of course, I don't know anything. So, Prosecutor Xiao, tell me!"
"Alright, Secretary Sun! This is what happened. Our anti-corruption bureau received multiple letters of accusation, accusing Sun Liancheng, the district head of Guang Ming, of corruption, dereliction of duty, and abuse of power… Of course, the specific situation isn't entirely clear, but there are too many accusations, so we in the procuratorate have to take it seriously."
Sun Hai Ping smiled on the surface, but his mind was filled with confusion.
Since Sun Liancheng had last come to report certain things, he had been investigating from all angles.
Although he hadn't been able to uncover everything, he had found some clues, proving that many things were indeed illegal and against regulations.
But just as he was about to delve deeper into the investigation, someone was accusing Sun Liancheng?
Ha, this was interesting!
"Accusing Sun Liancheng, the district head of Guang Ming? And accusing him of corruption, dereliction of duty, and abuse of power?"
"Yes, that's what the accusation letters say. The originals are here, you can have a look!"
Sun Hai Ping took the letters and carefully read them.
As he read, he felt something was amiss!
One of the letters even stated with certainty that Sun Liancheng had embezzled millions…
Could they be a little more meticulous?
As the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Sun Hai Ping was generally aware of these cadres' affairs, especially someone like Sun Liancheng, who was at his level!
Sun Liancheng had always kept a low profile over the years, but his assets had always been increasing.
Occasionally, he would sell some shares, transferring the money back, sometimes tens of millions of dollars, sometimes hundreds of millions.
Every time he had such large sums of income, Sun Liancheng would proactively report it to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the organization, and it could stand the scrutiny of the organization.
If he already had so much money, why would he embezzle a mere few million?
Clearly, at least half of the accusations in the letter were false.
As for the other half, it was still unclear!
Seeing that he had finished reading, Xiao Gang Yu continued, "Secretary Sun, we in the procuratorate believe that we must take this matter seriously, so we want to initiate an investigation procedure. What is your opinion…?"
Sun Hai Ping tapped his fingers on the table, the sound of "dada" echoing in the room.
"Prosecutor Xiao, Sun Liancheng isn't just the district head of Guang Ming, he's also the deputy commander of the Guang Ming Feng project. I think it's best to consult Secretary Li Da Kang and seek the unified opinion of the city party committee, be more cautious!"
"But…"
"Hey, don't rush! Sun Liancheng won't run away, what's the harm in waiting a little longer?"
"Alright, we'll listen to Secretary Sun!"
"No, listen to Secretary Li and the city party committee! Come on, let's go and report to Secretary Li Da Kang."
The two arrived at Li Da Kang's office, surprising him.
"Secretary Sun, Chief Prosecutor Xiao, why are you here together? Did something happen?"
Sun Hai Ping said calmly, "Secretary Li, Chief Prosecutor Xiao just reported a very important matter to me, I think we need to consult you and the city party committee. Well, let Chief Prosecutor Xiao tell you about it!"
Xiao Gang Yu immediately perked up and repeated what he had said before.
Finally, he said, "Secretary Li, the accusations against Sun Liancheng are just too many, so we in the procuratorate believe we must investigate, after all, it's our responsibility to the city party committee and Sun Liancheng himself!"
Li Da Kang pondered for a moment and asked Sun Hai Ping directly, "Secretary Sun, what do you think?"
Sun Hai Ping suddenly laughed, "Haha, Secretary Li, I think Chief Prosecutor Xiao is right, it's a very responsible attitude. But Sun Liancheng is a deputy departmental-level cadre after all, it's best to get a decision from Secretary Li and the city party committee, don't you think?"
Li Da Kang was speechless, this Sun Hai Ping seemed to be acting strange!
He picked up the phone and directly called Zhang Shu Li from the Discipline Inspection Commission.
"Comrade Shu Li, please come to my office. Yes, important matter!"
After waiting for a while, Zhang Shu Li arrived quickly.
Then Xiao Gang Yu had to repeat the story again, and only after that did Li Da Kang ask Zhang Shu Li for his opinion.
"Comrade Shu Li, Secretary Sun and Chief Prosecutor Xiao think we should initiate an investigation, what do you think?"
Zhang Shu Li looked at Sun Hai Ping and Xiao Gang Yu, noticing that Sun Hai Ping was indifferent, while Xiao Gang Yu was eager to do something.
Sun Hai Ping was in a difficult position, both above and below, so he didn't care whether an investigation was launched or not.
However, Zhang Shu Li had always followed Li Da Kang's lead, this matter depended on Li Da Kang's opinion!
What did Li Da Kang want now?
He wanted the Guang Ming Feng project to progress smoothly, to prioritize the overall situation.
These accusations against Sun Liancheng were only suspicions, without even evidence. Wasn't this going too far?
"Secretary Li, shouldn't we be more cautious?"
Li Da Kang asked, "Why? Comrade Shu Li, tell me, don't hold back."
