While things were in turmoil outside, inside the provincial party committee office...

Tian Guofu looked at Sha Ruijin with a complicated expression.

He had many questions he didn't ask at the beginning of the meeting.

The most important thing is that an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came to Handong Province, how could he not know?

You should know that if someone of this caliber comes to Handong, the high-ranking officials in Handong will definitely know about it.

However, as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he was unaware of this, and judging from Sha Ruijin's performance, he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

He clearly knew about this.

He even knew that this person was very likely to have been arrested and taken to the anti-corruption bureau.

Thinking of this possibility, Tian Guofu's pupils shrank. The people in the anti-corruption bureau were really making a mess of things. How could an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences be corrupt?

What kind of status does an academician have that they would need to embezzle?

Besides, even if there was embezzlement, it's not something your anti-corruption bureau should be involved in.

If someone hadn't been at the anti-corruption bureau checking files, and hadn't accessed classified information, they probably wouldn't have known that the person they arrested was an academician.

This matter escalated to a higher level, involving betrayal of the government.

That's how this academician came into the public eye.

This Zhong Xiaoai is truly willing to mess with anyone for her own purposes; this time, she's really met her match.

Even with the Zhong family protecting her, she'll still suffer a great deal this time.

However, even so, Sha Ruijin shouldn't be this angry. You know, before this incident, Sha Ruijin specifically told me to withdraw my support for the investigation team regarding Zhong Xiaoai's actions.

This indicates that Sha Ruijin disapproves of Zhong Xiaoai's behavior and even harbors some dissatisfaction with the Zhong family.

So now that Zhong Xiaoai has messed up, he should be happy, even if he doesn't show it on his face, he shouldn't be angry either.

Could this person be related to Sha Ruijin?

Thinking of this, Tian Guofu couldn't help but look at Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin was seen pacing back and forth, looking worried, clearly indicating that something more important had happened.

Tian Guofu concealed his doubts, knowing that Sha Ruijin would eventually tell him.

This is the confidence that Sha Ruijin gave him after so many years together.

During the long wait, the phone on the table rang.

Sha Ruijin answered the phone with unprecedented speed.

"Hello, I'm Sha Ruijin."

Tian Guofu was shocked when he saw this action. What was going on? Could it be that the person on the other end of the phone was of a much higher status than Sha Ruijin?

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to run to answer the phone.

No, there is another possibility: this matter is extremely important, so important that Sha Ruijin could put aside the matter of the academician and wait specifically for this call.

……

Meanwhile, in Hanxi Province, at the Provincial Party Committee Office.

After dealing with everything, Provincial Party Secretary Han Li finally had the time to call Sha Ruijin.

Today is an extremely important day. In the past, although he was the provincial party secretary of Hanxi Province, sometimes his words did not carry as much weight as Ji Yong's.

The reason for this is that Ji Yong's family has many relatives in Hanxi who hold high-ranking and extremely important positions.

This means that Han Li has to be mindful of the other party's expression whenever he wants to do something.

Han Li had considered taking action against the Ji family, but there was a high-ranking official above them.

Even the former provincial party secretary Sha Ruijin couldn't do anything about Ji Yong. How could someone with a background no stronger than Sha Ruijin possibly solve this problem?

Today is a perfect day. Lu Xun's teacher, Duan Yi, called specifically to ask him to deal with Ji Yong.

This was a good opportunity, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He had to report to Sha Ruijin before he felt reassured.

As soon as the matter was settled, he couldn't wait to call Sha Ruijin.

He knew that Sha Ruijin must also be anxiously waiting for this call.

So he didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point.

"Secretary Sha, the Ji family is finished."

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin's heart began to pound violently.

When he was in Hanxi Province, he did not deal with Ji Yong for the sake of maintaining his reputation.

After all, Ji Yueming was a deputy G-level cadre.

It's easy to take down the Ji family's influence in Hanxi, but Ji Yueming behind them is not so easy to deal with.

Ji Yueming has a large number of disciples and old friends behind him. If a fight breaks out, he won't have a good outcome either.

Although he had the Huang family behind him, he knew that the Huang family had chosen to keep a low profile over the years because of that incident.

If you want to deal with Ji Yueming, it might take some effort, but in the end, you will definitely pay a price.

Although Sha Ruijin is a member of the Huang family, the Huang family is unwilling to pay such a high price.

Therefore, Sha Ruijin had no choice but to leave Hanxi with regret.

This could be said to have become a major worry for Sha Ruijin.

When he received Han Li's call today, he knew that the time had come to resolve this regret.

Who is Duan Yi?

He is one of the deputy directors of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Duan Yi is on the same level as Ji Yueming. If no one else was backing him up, Sha Ruijin believed that Duan Yi would not have done such a thing.

The only person who could support him was Huang Dingbo.

Huang Dingbo might just casually mention the Ji family's affairs to Duan Yi, and Duan Yi would take care of it.

As for why Huang Dingbo did this, there is only one possibility.

Huang Feipeng, the only son of the Huang family, may have been wronged.

If we think about it, then Zhong Xiaoai joined the investigation team. With Huang Dingbo's experience, how could he not know that Zhong Xiaoai came to Handong this time specifically to see Huang Feipeng?

This is the sole heir of the Huang family. Although he has changed his name for the sake of the country, that is not a reason for your Zhong family to keep causing trouble.

So perhaps it was Huang Feipeng's meritorious service to the country that made Huang Dingbo even more assertive.

This paves the way for Huang Feipeng's future return and also serves as a warning to everyone: the Huang family members cannot be touched.

Therefore, having guessed Huang Dingbo's intentions, Sha Ruijin supported Han Li without the slightest hesitation.

Once things were settled here, Ji Yueming couldn't sit still any longer.

If Ji Yueming couldn't sit still, there would be one less person protecting Zhong Xiaoai in the capital.

Therefore, Zhong Xiaoai may soon be recalled to the capital.

For no other reason than that arresting the academician would be enough to give the Zhong family a hard time.

Needless to say, this academician is Huang Feipeng.

Thinking about his conversation with the eldest sister of the Huang family, Sha Ruijin was extremely excited.

Huang Feipeng practically grew up in front of him, and Sha Ruijin treated him like his own son.

With such great achievements, how could Sha Ruijin not be happy?
