Upon hearing Gao Yuliang's words, Zhao Ruilong's anger vanished instantly, and he spoke with utmost respect.

"Secretary Yuliang, I just arrived in Handong. As soon as I got here, I thought I'd give you a call and get in touch with you."

"I just wonder if Secretary Yuliang will have time to have a casual meal with me tomorrow?"

Gao Yuliang frowned upon hearing Zhao Ruilong's words. At this critical juncture, if he were to have dinner with Zhao Ruilong and Li Dakang's men found out, he might be in trouble.

It's important to understand that the current situation is a major advantage for him.

At this moment, Li Dakang's men must be keeping a close eye on him, and they will pounce on him as soon as he makes any unusual move.

Seize on his mistakes and relentlessly attack them to turn the tide.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuliang pondered for a moment.

"Forget about the meal. You probably came all the way to Handong because of Qi Tongwei, right?"

"Ruilong, you must have already received the news that Tongwei is about to be promoted to vice governor, which is equivalent to my rank. Whether he will listen to this old man is still uncertain."

"You should think of another way."

When Zhao Ruilong heard Gao Yuliang's words, he almost cursed out loud. What do you mean by not listening to you? Everyone knows that Qi Tongwei is your right-hand man. Would he not listen to you?

This is clearly Gao Yuliang's way of declining the offer.

Zhao Ruilong sneered inwardly, "Is this something you can just refuse to agree to?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruilong said with a smile.

“Secretary Yuliang, what are you saying? Do you think I invited you to dinner just to get something done? You're underestimating me, Zhao Ruilong. Given our relationship, isn't it only natural for me to invite you to dinner?”

"Besides, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. If you don't come, I'll have to come to you."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang frowned deeply. He knew that he lived not far from Sha Ruijin, and he was worried that Sha Ruijin would find out that Zhao Ruilong had come to see him.

The outcome was predictable.

He sighed and said slowly.

"Okay, tell me, where is it?"

Zhao Ruilong was extremely pleased. No matter how high your position and power are, you are still under my control.

"Well then, I'll be waiting for you. Don't worry, the place will definitely satisfy you."

Gao Yuliang snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

On the other side, Zhao Ruilong put down his phone with a smug look on his face.

Gao Xiaoqin looked at him with eyes full of respect.

"Young Master Zhao, you are truly amazing."

Zhao Ruilong was overjoyed upon hearing this and casually replied.

"What's this? Gao Yuliang got promoted because of my old man. How could he not give me face?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin finally felt relieved.

As long as Gao Yuliang is willing to help, how could Qi Tongwei not listen? He would have to come back obediently.

At that time, Chen Qingquan's matter will be resolved smoothly, and everything will return to its original course.

Thinking of this, Gao Xiaoqin became even more respectful towards Zhao Ruilong.

"It has to be you. As soon as you step in, all the problems are solved. Handong really can't function without you."

Zhao Ruilong was naturally very pleased with himself upon hearing this.

"That's right. Otherwise, you can come to me if you have any problems."

"Prepare a good meal tomorrow, I'll talk to Lao Gao, and that'll be settled."

……

Just as Zhao Ruilong was laughing and chatting happily.

Meanwhile, inside the Anti-Corruption Bureau office.

Ji Changming sat solemnly in the chair, looking directly into Chen Hai's eyes.

"Chen Hai, in this morning's meeting, it was decided that you would be in charge of investigating Chen Qingquan. You must seize this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai immediately spoke seriously.

"Rest assured, I will handle this case seriously."

The case of Ding Yizhen left a heavy burden on the minds of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

It should be noted that Ding Yizhen escaped right under their noses, which was a disgrace to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and they desperately needed a chance to turn things around.

Now things are finally looking up, there's a chance to turn things around.

Seeing Chen Hai's expression, Ji Changming silently nodded in agreement.

Chen Hai is a trustworthy person; he will definitely be able to handle this matter well.

"Alright, I've explained everything to you. Tomorrow, go and hand him over to the Public Security Bureau and bring him back to the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

With that, Ji Changming left the office.

Chen Hai sat there, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Chen Hai's face darkened as he looked at the name on the list. He still hadn't forgotten how Hou Liangping had tricked him.

Now he's calling me again?

Who gave him the face?

Hou Liangping, far away in the capital, frowned as he looked at the unanswered phone call.

After much pleading and cajoling, Zhong Xiaoai finally softened her stance and was allowed to interact with the child again. It seems that returning home is not far off.

Hou Liangping felt a burning hatred for the person responsible for his current predicament.

However, Huang Feipeng is having a tough time now. Being targeted by Chen Hai is no easy feat.

Not to mention that Huang Feipeng was just a small businessman with no background and no chance of resistance.

He was thinking of calling Chen Hai to find out what was going on, so he could take revenge himself.

But to my surprise, Chen Hai didn't answer the phone.

Hou Liangping muttered to himself.

"That's impossible, why isn't she answering the phone?"

As he spoke, Hou Liangping dialed the number again.

Chen Hai looked at the screen that lit up again, and anger rose in his heart. "Fine, since you're looking for a scolding, then I'll take it."

With that in mind, Chen Hai answered the phone.

"Why are you calling? To see me make a fool of myself?"

Hou Liangping looked completely bewildered and said in surprise.

"What are you talking about? I called to ask how your investigation is going?"

"Let me tell you, this is a great opportunity. Huang Feipeng is definitely suspected of embezzlement. As long as we investigate, we can find out something. Then your Anti-Corruption Bureau can finally hold its head high, right?"

"I'm only doing this for your own good, but the way you're talking makes it sound like I'm trying to harm you."

Chen Hai scoffed upon hearing this.

"Kindness? Monkey, tell me the truth, Dafeng Factory is a classified project, did you know that?"

Hou Liangping was taken aback upon hearing this, then sighed.

“I know, but so what? Chen Hai, you need to know your place. You’re a member of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Do you think such a small difficulty can stump you?”

"Is this your awareness as a Party member? You've disappointed me greatly."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai was immediately stunned. Yes, how could I be afraid of something like this?

So he said loudly.

"Who said that? I just..."

Hou Liangping interrupted him and said calmly.

"Okay, I know you just have doubts..."
