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

Logically speaking, after Hou Liangping arrived in Handong, the first person he should have visited was Sha Ruijin, and then Gao Yuliang.

However, he didn't do that; instead, he went to find Li Dakang.

Did he not know about his relationship with Li Dakang?

Not necessarily. Perhaps this is just his way of expressing his opinion, and Hou Liangping has already begun to doubt himself.

Perhaps he's on his list of targets.

Gao Yuliang took a deep breath and then lowered his eyes. Let Hou Liangping handle this matter; whether he lives or dies depends on his abilities.

Ji Changming looked at Hou Liangping with surprise.

When did this happen? How come he doesn't know?

To say that his earlier defense of Hou Liangping stemmed from a sense of loyalty as a leader and trust in the person sent from above is an oversight.

But now, to think that they would dare to do such a thing is truly disappointing.

Hou Liangping was stunned by everyone's reaction. When he came to his senses, he didn't care about the occasion. If he were suspended from his post because of this, the impact would be too bad.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"Secretary Sha, you have to believe me. I didn't do such a thing. You can't treat me like this just because of a letter of complaint, can you?"

As he spoke, Hou Liangping looked at Gao Yuliang and said urgently.

“Secretary Yuliang, you are my teacher. You know my character. I would never do such a corrupt and illegal thing.”

"Could you please talk to Secretary Sha for me?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang hesitated for a moment. Although Hou Liangping was not human, Gao Yuliang still had to stay here. If he didn't even help his own student, others would inevitably feel disheartened.

Gao Yuliang nodded slightly and turned to look at Sha Ruijin.

“Secretary Sha, I still believe in Comrade Liangping’s character. As leading cadres, we can’t judge someone as a bad person just because of a letter of complaint.”

"How about we do as I suggested, investigate this case thoroughly first, and then discuss how to deal with Comrade Hou Liangping?"

Upon hearing this, Hou Liangping glanced at Gao Yuliang with gratitude.

Ji Changming also hurriedly stood up at this moment.

"Yes, Secretary Sha, if we punish Comrade Hou Liangping because of the whistleblower letter, we won't be able to continue our work."

Looking at everyone's reaction, Sha Ruijin sneered, waved the thing in his hand heavily, and then slammed it onto the table.

"You think there's only one whistleblower letter in this envelope?"

"Look, look, Comrade Hou Liangping's feasting has been clearly filmed, and even what he ate has been thoughtfully labeled."

"It's shocking, comrades! What kind of meal can cost five or six million?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they hurriedly looked at the photos on the table. When they saw Hou Liangping's appearance in the photos, they were dumbfounded.

In the photo, Hou Liangping looks quite smug, clearly indicating that no one forced him to go.

Upon seeing this, Gao Yuliang narrowed his eyes slightly; the situation was now extremely clear.

Sha Ruijin's plan today is to deal with Hou Liangping.

Moreover, Hou Liangping is too careless in his actions; how could someone have taken a picture of him?

This was clearly a trap set for Hou Liangping, and there are only a few people capable of setting such a trap for Hou Liangping, with Zhao Ruilong being the most likely candidate.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuliang shook his head slightly. He didn't want to provoke Zhao Ruilong either.

So, he looked at Hou Liangping with a stern face.

"Liangping, what's going on? Explain this to everyone."

"Although I believe in your character, all excuses are useless in the face of evidence."

Upon hearing this, Hou Liangping snapped out of his daze and quickly replied.

"Secretary Sha, I know what happened."

"This was all a scheme set up by Zhao Ruilong and Huang Feipeng, all for today's show."

"Here's what happened. After investigation, I suspected that Huang Feipeng had a powerful protector behind him. In order to find out who this person was, I had Huang Feipeng monitored."

"Finally, I found out that Huang Feipeng was going to Wangbeilou for dinner last night, so I went with him."

"After some probing, I finally confirmed that the person behind Huang Feipeng was Zhao Ruilong."

"They must have known I was watching them, so for the sake of the future, they decided to strike first."

"Secretary Sha, leaders, you have worked for so many years and experienced so many ups and downs. Can't you see through a small frame-up?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang narrowed his eyes slightly. Hou Liangping's words had not mentioned Qi Tongwei.

According to his understanding, Qi Tongwei and Huang Feipeng of Dafeng Factory had a good relationship, and perhaps it was he who acted as a matchmaker.

At this point, not mentioning Qi Tongwei was simply out of consideration.

Li Dakang snorted coldly upon hearing Hou Liangping's words.

Whether Hou Liangping's case is a slander or not, everyone knows perfectly well.

After all, everyone knows Hou Liangping's background, and there's no need for him to jeopardize his future for a meal like this.

However, although everyone understands this, the necessary procedures cannot be omitted.

There must already be a solution above.

Since the matter is already settled, there is no need to say anything more. Hou Liangping's best solution at this point is to honestly accept the investigation.

Instead of saying these things here, which would offend many people.

However, his relationship with Hou Liangping wasn't good, so there was no need to remind him.

What Li Dakang cared about was what Hou Liangping said.

The claim that Zhao Ruilong is the man behind Huang Feipeng is absurd in Li Dakang's view.

According to his understanding, Qi Tongwei and Huang Feipeng had an extremely good relationship; otherwise, he wouldn't have arrested Ouyang Jing just because of a single sentence from Huang Feipeng.

The words Qi Tongwei had spoken to him last time still echoed clearly in Li Dakang's ears.

Qi Tongwei couldn't possibly be unaware of the relationship between Li Dakang and the Zhao family, so the person behind him must not be the Zhao family.

Therefore, the relationship between Zhao Ruilong and Huang Feipeng is very likely not what Hou Liangping thought.

Considering Sha Ruijin's performance today, Li Dakang seemed to have figured something out.

It should be noted that Sha Ruijin has rarely performed like this since arriving in Handong.

The last time there was such a contrasting change in attitude at the table was at the first provincial party committee meeting, when Qi Tongwei was singled out for praise and was subsequently promoted to vice governor.

Yes, that's it. The person behind Qi Tongwei is Sha Ruijin. Only in this way can we explain why Sha Ruijin reacted so strongly.

Why did Sha Ruijin insist on dealing with Hou Liangping?
