The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

Sha Ruijin glanced at the confident Hou Liangping and said calmly.

"On this point, I want to commend our Comrade Hou Liangping. Although there are areas where his conduct needs improvement, his spirit is still commendable."

"Comrades, the situation in Handong is extremely serious. We must all show the same determination and attitude as Comrade Liangping in handling affairs."

Upon hearing this, Hou Liangping's face lit up with a smile, and he sat up straight.

Li Dakang and the others glanced at Sha Ruijin thoughtfully, wondering why he had suddenly changed his attitude. Was there something they didn't know about?

Ji Changming frowned deeply. Could it be that he had just hallucinated?

Sha Ruijin had just glared at him, so why has his attitude changed now?

Sha Ruijin glanced at everyone's expressions, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Regarding Comrade Liangping's situation, Chief Prosecutor Ji, you need to come up with a reasonable plan that neither dampens the enthusiasm of our comrades nor fails to impose a certain punishment. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, how will we be able to get our work done?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Changming nodded in surprise.

"Yes, Secretary Sha, I will definitely come up with a reasonable solution."

Sha Ruijin nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the smug Hou Liangping and said calmly.

"Now let's get down to business today. The first thing is the matter of the deputy chief prosecutor."

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, our Deputy Chief Prosecutor is now of retirement age, and someone will soon be transferred to take over the position. Chief Prosecutor Ji, you two must cooperate well in the future."

Ji Changming was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded silently. The arrival of a deputy chief prosecutor at this time was not a good sign.

However, since it was an order from above, he had no choice but to obey.

Sha Ruijin glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the crowd, and then at Hou Liangping, who had a big smile on his face.

"Comrade Hou Liangping."

Hou Liangping was sitting in his seat, full of smugness, thinking about his next move.

As he had expected, today's meeting was merely a minor reprimand, a verbal criticism, but no real punishment whatsoever.

After all, Sha Ruijin also had to consider the opinions of his superiors and give the Zhong family some face.

Now that we have ascertained Sha Ruijin's attitude, we can be bolder in our next move.

Just as he was silently contemplating his next move, Sha Ruijin's voice rang out.

"Comrade Liangping, Comrade Liangping."

Ji Changming glared at Hou Liangping, who had no idea how to read the time and place.

The leader is speaking up now, and you're actually daydreaming?

Ji Changming coughed heavily.

Hou Liangping then came to his senses and looked at Sha Ruijin in front of him with surprise.

Sha Ruijin, who had been all smiles, now had a grim face, while the other leaders looked at Hou Liangping with mockery.

You, Hou Liangping, just stole the limelight, and now you're getting carried away. You're still young, after all.

Hou Liangping shuddered involuntarily and quickly stood up.

"Secretary Sha, I'm here."

Sha Ruijin snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, now it's your business. Since you've already stood up, don't sit down yet."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed again. What did this mean?

Ji Changming's heart pounded; Sha Ruijin's methods made his hands and feet go numb.

The previous incidents might have been considered excessive in their methods, but they didn't cause Hou Liangping any major trouble.

Therefore, Hou Liangping treated this matter lightly in order to prepare for what happened later.

If his prediction is correct, this matter will definitely cause Hou Liangping serious damage.

Ji Changming wanted to say something, but when he felt that familiar gaze, he couldn't help but shudder, and then sat in his seat without saying a word.

Seeing his expression, Sha Ruijin nodded in satisfaction.

"This morning, I received a letter of complaint."

As he spoke, Sha Ruijin held up an envelope, looked at the various expressions on the faces of the crowd, and said calmly.

"This is it. It clearly states that our Anti-Corruption Bureau Director, Comrade Hou Liangping, accepted a banquet from someone during his tenure."

Li Dakang, Gao Yuliang, and the others frowned slightly. Wasn't this a bit of an overreaction? It was just a meal someone had treated them to; was it really necessary to bring it up at this conference?

Ji Changming was even more astonished. That's it?

Hou Liangping seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed drastically. Before he could speak, Sha Ruijin's voice rang out.

"Do you think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill? Then you're mistaken. It's just a regular dinner party, after all, everyone has a few relatives and friends."

"However, this dinner hosted by our Comrade Liangping is different. This meal costs five or six million to enjoy."

"Comrades, this costs five or six million. What kind of meal is so expensive?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Tian Guofu was a little surprised. The letter of complaint was originally with him, and he only handed it over to Sha Ruijin after reviewing it.

He originally thought that Sha Ruijin would downplay the matter, since he had discussed Hou Liangping with Sha Ruijin at the beginning.

Sha Ruijin once clearly stated that what the current situation in Handong needs is someone like Hou Liangping who dares to fight and take risks.

This clearly indicates that he intends to reuse him.

But the fact that they're making such a big deal out of it now, especially here, means that Sha Ruijin has changed his mind and no longer intends to give Hou Liangping a second chance.

What exactly happened?

Tian Guofu narrowed his eyes slightly, then fell into deep thought.

Li Dakang frowned deeply and subconsciously looked at Hou Liangping.

Since Sha Ruijin brought this matter up at the provincial party committee meeting, it means that Hou Liangping is no longer in Sha Ruijin's leadership team.

So, was the text message Hou Liangping sent him a lie?

No, Hou Liangping doesn't have that kind of guts.

But it's hard to say for sure. Hou Liangping dared to break into even classified projects, so what wouldn't he dare to do?

Thinking of this, Li Dakang's gaze toward Hou Liangping took on a more meaningful tone.

Hou Liangping is incredibly audacious; he dares to deceive himself just to intimidate others.

Well, it seems I, Li Dakang, am still too easy to bully. Anyone dares to mess with me.

Gao Yuliang frowned deeply. He knew Hou Liangping well; he wasn't the kind of person who would embezzle or accept bribes.

But given the circumstances, he had no choice but to plead for leniency.

After all, although he acknowledged Hou Liangping as his student, Hou Liangping might not care about this teacher-student relationship.
