Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"It's alright, answer it. It's probably something important!" Chang Junhao said directly.

"I'm sure Secretary Sha won't blame you, after all, it was all for official business!"

“Of course, if it’s a private matter, then don’t…” Chang Junhao chuckled.

"Secretary Chang is joking!" At this moment, Chief Prosecutor Ji was almost in tears.

He's just an honest retired cadre waiting for a peaceful retirement, why is everyone making things difficult for him?

You gods are fighting, so don't even think about targeting this honest guy.

"This is my work phone; I didn't bring my own!" Chief Prosecutor Ji explained.

"Okay, let's answer it and see what's going on!" That was all Sha Ruijin could say.

Chang Junhao has already said all this, how could he possibly refuse?

Otherwise, people would think that Sha Ruijin had some ulterior motive.

"Yes, yes!" With Sha Ruijin speaking, Chief Prosecutor Ji answered the phone directly.

"Hello? What urgent matter is it that requires you to call me at this hour?" Chief Prosecutor Ji interrupted the other person before they could speak.

Let the person on the other end know where you are, and don't speak so recklessly.

Many of his subordinates are influential figures, which puts a lot of pressure on him as the chief prosecutor.

In addition, he is nearing retirement and rarely loses his temper, which has led many of his subordinates to become somewhat disrespectful.

He just hoped that these people wouldn't try to sabotage him at this time.

"I'm reporting to the provincial leaders right now, and Secretary Sha Ruijin is here too!"

"Huh? Ah!" The person on the other end exclaimed twice.

"That's right, Mr. Ji, Director Hou led his men to arrest Vice President Ouyang Jing!"

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Chief Prosecutor Ji's voice rose considerably, even becoming somewhat shrill.

Looking at her like this, she has a certain air of effeminate gestures, as if she's pointing out the flaws in the world.

If he were to say something like, "Our Eastern Depot needs someone like you," that would be even more fitting.

But Chief Prosecutor Ji now has no other thoughts on the matter.

All he could hear in his head were his subordinates' words: Director Hou had led his men to arrest Ouyang Jing.

Seeing Chief Prosecutor Ji's reaction, Sha Ruijin's expression darkened slightly, and he asked,

"what happened?"

"Um..." Chief Prosecutor Ji hesitated for a moment, noticing that all the provincial party committee members present were looking at him, and began to speak with some difficulty.

"Our anti-corruption bureau chief has already led a team to arrest Ouyang Jing, the bank's vice president!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, many people were just as surprised as Chief Prosecutor Ji had been.

"Nonsense!" Li Dakang shouted, slamming his hand on the table and standing up.

But seeing that Sha Ruijin's face had become even more gloomy, he quickly lowered his head and sincerely apologized to Sha Ruijin.

"I'm sorry, Secretary Sha, I'm also a bit angry!"

Sha Ruijin waved his hand but didn't say anything, seemingly lost in thought.

"Someone from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the director? Isn't that Chen Hai?" Li Dakang wasn't completely unaware of these matters.

"Isn't he still lying in the hospital? How could he lead people to arrest him?" Li Dakang questioned.

"This... is the newly appointed director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!" Chief Prosecutor Ji said cautiously.

Although he and Li Dakang were both vice-ministerial level officials, Li Dakang was the Party Secretary of the provincial capital and also a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

This person is now a strong contender for the governorship, and even though he seems to be at a disadvantage now, he is still someone that he can't afford to offend.

"Who? We don't know anything about them?" Li Dakang asked directly.

Although this anti-corruption bureau is not under his jurisdiction, as a member of the provincial standing committee, shouldn't he at least be aware of the basic information?

"Furthermore, arresting a vice president like this, who is my wife, should be something I should avoid!"

"But I should have the right to know certain things, shouldn't I? After all, I'm still a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee!"

Li Dakang was truly enraged.

"How come I don't know when the provincial party committee issued that order?"

Chang Junhao found it somewhat amusing to see Li Dakang looking so flustered.

And then there's Sha Ruijin next to him, looking so angry he doesn't know how to vent it, it's hard not to laugh.

They were even thinking of finding a guy with an imperial sword to come here and eliminate some obstacles.

Now they've shot themselves in the foot; before anyone else has even made a move, they've already angered Li Dakang.

He wanted to see how Sha Ruijin would handle this situation—whether he would side with Hou Liangping or Li Dakang.

"This... Secretary Dakang, the appointment letter will arrive soon. Are there any procedures to follow?"

"But the decision has already been made!"

"Ha, so you mean the head of this anti-corruption bureau hasn't even finished the formal procedures? He's not even considered the head yet?"

"Who gave them the audacity to do this? It's utterly disorganized, utterly incompetent..."

Li Dakang was about to slam his fist on the table and shout again.

As Li Dakang finished speaking, Sha Ruijin's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Comrade Dakang!" Sha Ruijin finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Huh? Secretary Sha!" Li Dakang was like a chicken with its neck being squeezed, his voice instantly stuck in his throat.

"This whole thing is my fault, really!" Sha Ruijin said calmly.

"I had already spoken with Comrade Hou Liangping, the newly appointed director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, before!"

"He also came from the capital, having received orders from above to come specifically to investigate cases in our Handong Province!"

"It was Director Hou who led the team that arrested Ding Yizhen that time!"

"I spoke with him and gave him some support, telling him to investigate with confidence!"

"But I never expected things to happen so urgently that none of you comrades received the news!"

"This is my mistake, and I apologize to everyone!"

Before anyone else could speak, Li Dakang spoke first.

"Secretary Sha, you flatter me. As the Party Secretary of Handong Province, you are the representative of our Provincial Party Committee. It is only right that you go to talk to the newly appointed Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!"

"It's just...it's just..."

Li Dakang couldn't say what exactly he wanted to say, but he probably just wanted to let Sha Ruijin know.

But let alone Li Dakang now, who is already embroiled in trouble, even the Li Dakang of the past wouldn't dare to utter a single word when facing Sha Ruijin.

"Secretary Dakang's idea is to have Secretary Sha inform everyone so that they can all understand the situation!"

"There won't be any misunderstandings!" Gao Yuliang said directly, smiling as he asked Li Dakang.

"Secretary Dakang, is that what you mean?"

"What can Li Dakang say?"

You say no? Then what was he before? And you suffered such a huge loss?

He's a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, and the Party Secretary of the provincial capital. Doesn't he even deserve the right to know?

"You mean? Isn't that a slap in the face to Sha Ruijin? Even if the force wasn't very strong, it's still a slap."

What will happen to him, a general who has just joined Sha Ruijin's command?

Li Dakang looked around and found that everyone's eyes were on him. He was like a clown, being laughed at by everyone.

"I'm sorry, Secretary Sha, I got carried away!" Li Dakang could only admit this, then lowered his head and began to ponder.

How can I extricate myself from this incident?

Otherwise, even with Sha Ruijin behind him, it wouldn't be up to Secretary Sha to decide whether he could become the provincial governor.

Although in most cases, if the provincial party secretary nominates the governor and everyone votes, no one will offend the provincial party secretary or the person who will become governor.

But now, if we were to alienate everyone in the provincial party committee, that would be a joke.
