Upon hearing this, Lu Xun quickly smiled and replied.

"Teacher, this is all thanks to your support. If it weren't for you, would I have achieved what I have today?"

"You're calling at this hour, not just for small talk, are you? Please let me know what you need, and I'll do my best to help if I can."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yi nodded in satisfaction and then said in a deep voice.

"I remember there's a guy named Ji Tong in your province. You didn't catch him during the last operation, so he's still around now?"

Lu Xun was taken aback when he heard this. Of course he knew the name Ji Tong. In Hanxi, Ji Tong was like Zhao Ruilong in Handong.

Relying on his family's influence, he acted arrogantly and domineeringly in Hanxi.

It also attracted a group of unemployed people.

Those who dared to spend money were all placed into the system by him.

Although everyone is aware of this situation, what can be done?

The person above them is the deputy director of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

If you touch him, what will that person think?

Moreover, even the previous Party Secretary Sha Ruijin couldn't touch him, let alone anyone else.

Upon hearing Duan Yi's words, Lu Xun instantly thought of many things.

Duan Yi and Ji Yueming are now both deputy directors of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Does Duan Yi have thoughts of taking a step up in the ranks?

Lu Xun remained silent for a long time.

"Duan Yi said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone."

"Just tell me, does this person exist?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun quickly looked around and then whispered.

"Yes, but, teacher, this person is backed by Deputy Director Ji."

Duan Yi snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"So what if you have connections? Does having connections mean you can do whatever you want?"

“In the past, he escaped disaster because he had the support of the former governor, and you didn’t dare to make a move.”

"But that person is retired now. Don't you have the guts to do it?"

"I'm telling you, you have to do this for me."

After saying that, Duan Yi hung up the phone.

Lu Xun stared at the now-off screen and fell silent for a moment.

Although the governorship has nothing to do with Duan Yi, it cannot be denied that he is one of Duan Yi's men.

Moreover, Duan Yi's tone was very resolute just now, so it seems that this matter must be done.

To put it simply, it's just about dealing with a petty thug.

However, the story behind this is not so simple.

This is very likely a power struggle among those in power.

If this matter is handled well and Duan Yi achieves victory, then his future will be guaranteed.

However, if Duan Yi fails, he will also suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun began to feel conflicted.

Just then, he saw Provincial Party Secretary Han Li walk by, so he quickly chased after him.

"Secretary Han, Secretary Han."

Lu Xun's eagerness was understandable; he was able to rise to the position of provincial governor thanks to Han Li's patronage.

Now is the time to ask him.

Upon hearing this, Han Li turned around in surprise and looked at Lu Xun, who was panting heavily.

"Old Lu, what's going on?"

Lu Xun glanced around, then hurriedly pulled Han Li into the office.

"Something big is about to happen. My teacher just called and said I need to..."

Lu Xun recounted his conversation with Duan Yi, then looked at him quietly.

Han Li was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Duan Yi would call to talk about this.

Although it's just a small pawn that's being moved, what matters most is how those in power will think.

Han Li's expression changed repeatedly.

Back then, Lu Xun took the initiative to seek refuge with Duan Yi, seeing that Duan Yi was behind him, thinking that he could establish a good relationship and perhaps need Duan Yi's help in the future.

So, they did their best to help him get to the position of governor, but they never expected that the other party would repay them so quickly and so fiercely.

Han Li was a little troubled at this moment. If this matter was not handled well, his future political career might end prematurely.

There's only one way now: to ask my former superior, Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin initially launched a series of anti-corruption efforts in Hanxi, but ultimately stopped at Ji Yong.

Perhaps they couldn't withstand the pressure from their superiors, which is why they released this person.

This made Ji Yong even more unscrupulous, and he became lawless in Hanxi.

Even Han Li couldn't stand it.

Therefore, Sha Ruijin must have had this idea of ​​targeting Ji Yong.

Moreover, and most importantly, Sha Ruijin must have connections in the capital, so even if things get out of hand, he will protect him.

Thinking of this, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. This matter had to be acted upon as soon as possible, otherwise, if they alerted the enemy, they would offend more than just the Ji family.

Han Li glanced at Lu Xun beside him, then said calmly.

"Old Lu, I understand everything you've said. Here's what we'll do: you go back first, I'll think about it and then tell you how to handle it."

Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, feeling much better after handing over this hot potato.

Sure enough, having connections in high places makes it easier to get ahead in officialdom.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Lu Xun nodded quickly.

"Okay, Secretary Han, take your time to think it over. I'll go back and wait for your notification."

Han Li watched Lu Xun leave, then immediately picked up his phone and called Sha Ruijin.

"Secretary Sha..."

Han Li repeated what he had just said and waited quietly for Sha Ruijin's reply.

After listening, Sha Ruijin frowned slightly, then said decisively.

"Old Han, this matter should have been addressed a long time ago. Go ahead and do it. Make sure to eradicate evil completely."

Upon hearing this, Han Li felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

Sha Ruijin looked at the screen that had gone out, then sat down in his chair and began to ponder slowly.

Ji Yong has been a real worry for him. He had no choice but to let him go back then, so how could he not seize this opportunity now?

Of course, there are other reasons as well.

When Tian Guofu came back, he specifically went to report the situation to him.

After getting off the plane, Zhong Xiaoai went to the Anti-Corruption Bureau without any warning.

What does it mean?

Zhong Xiaoai's main target this time should be Hou Liangping, so she should have come to the Discipline Inspection Commission with the investigation team instead of going to the Anti-Corruption Bureau on her own.

There's only one possible reason she did this: she started investigating the case in the direction Hou Liangping was heading.

So who is the object of your affections?

There is no other possibility besides Huang Feipeng.

This is something that Sha Ruijin cannot tolerate.

Hou Liangping came to investigate, and we've already been very tolerant. Now you're actually using the investigation team's name to openly retaliate?

Who gave you the audacity? If it weren't for the need to conceal Huang Feipeng's identity for his future normal activities, would you have dared to do this?
