Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"Hello, this is Chang Junhao!" Chang Junhao answered the phone directly in his office.

"Comrade Junhao, it's me, Sha Ruijin!"

"Secretary Sha, hello!" Chang Junhao didn't expect that the person calling would be Sha Ruijin.

And at this time, it seems that Sha Ruijin still has people on his side.

Or perhaps it was Li Dakang who introduced the person to Sha Ruijin, so that he could also have an informant with Chang Junhao.

Even if they can't do anything to Chang Junhao, it's enough to disgust him to death.

Moreover, if such a person doesn't commit any crime but is instead targeted, then Sha Ruijin might have a problem with Chang Junhao.

This is practically a slap in the face to Sha Ruijin, but isn't Sha Ruijin's current behavior also somewhat slapping Chang Junhao in the face?

But Sha Ruijin himself is the provincial party secretary, Chang Junhao's superior. Even if he really did that, what could Chang Junhao do?

"Comrade Junhao, I heard you got into an argument with Director Hou from Beijing in your office?"

"The whole building can hear you arguing? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"You didn't think things through when you did this!" Sha Ruijin said in a less-than-serious tone, pointing at Chang Junhao for not knowing how to handle things.

"Ha, it's all my fault!" Chang Junhao chuckled.

"I never expected that our matter would escalate to the point where it has reached Secretary Sha's doorstep!"

"I acted impulsively and got into an argument with Director Hou!"

"But this Director Hou is really infuriating!"

"Well, Director Hou is still young, so there are bound to be some shortcomings. Comrade Junhao, you need to be more tolerant of him," Sha Ruijin said with a smile.

"Yes, he also said that it was with Secretary Sha's approval that I be required to explain my problems at a designated time and place!"

"Secretary Sha, is this your intention?" Chang Junhao asked Sha Ruijin directly.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin's voice rose.

"You're telling me to go to a specific place at a specific time?"

"He said that?" Sha Ruijin could hardly believe it.

"Yes, and they even said it was an order from higher-ups, and with your approval, Secretary Sha!"

"They're going to place me under investigation as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee!"

"Moreover, there was no written order, and we don't know who they came on behalf of. What do you think, Secretary Sha?" Chang Junhao asked calmly.

“I didn’t say anything about this!” Sha Ruijin quickly said.

Good heavens, even he himself wouldn't directly place a deputy ministerial-level official under investigation.

Especially someone like Chang Junhao, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and the Party Secretary of the provincial capital, even he would need orders from his superiors to take down Chang Junhao.

He has no power to do anything to Chang Junhao, he only has some power to nominate people.

Well, this is quite something. Is the head of the anti-corruption bureau, who's new to it, really this brave?

A bureau chief at the provincial level, who was still acting at the time, went directly to give orders to Chang Junhao.

I know you have some connections and are a kept man, but this... you can't even be called a kept man; you're going to the moon.

"So, does that mean Director Hou was issuing false orders and acting recklessly?" Chang Junhao asked calmly.

"What kind of behavior is this? It's utterly disorganized and undisciplined!"

“I think his…” Chang Junhao was about to speak when Sha Ruijin interrupted.

"Comrade Junhao, please don't get agitated."

"Am I excited?" Chang Junhao asked calmly.

"Well, it's like this, to be honest, I'm partly to blame for this!" Sha Ruijin said directly.

"What did Secretary Sha mean by that?" Chang Junhao said he didn't understand.

"It's what I told Hou Liangping before: in our Handong Province, corrupt officials must be severely punished and investigated thoroughly!"

"Tell Director Hou that no matter who is involved, an investigation will be conducted!"

"Perhaps Director Hou misunderstood me, as he went directly to investigate Comrade Junhao!"

"Director Hou acted somewhat impulsively on this matter!"

"Oh? Impulsive? That's really quite impulsive, running into my office trying to arrest me and punish me!"

"Secretary Sha, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Here's what we'll do: you hand the phone to Director Hou first, and I'll say a few words to him. I'll definitely give Secretary Chang an explanation for this matter!"

"However, someone has reported the problem to the Anti-Corruption Bureau. This Comrade Junhao..."

"Secretary Sha, if someone has indeed given such feedback, then we should investigate accordingly!" Chang Junhao himself stated.

"This investigation can also clear my name, and I welcome it!"

"As long as it is reasonable, compliant, and in accordance with the law, I am willing to accept the investigation!"

“But not like this monkey in front of you, jumping around!” Chang Junhao said.

"Okay, okay, I understand, Comrade Junhao. Give the phone to Director Hou first!" Sha Ruijin could only say this helplessly.

"Alright, then I'll wait for Director Hou's apology!"

After speaking, Chang Junhao handed the phone directly to Hou Liangping.

Although Hou Liangping was somewhat resentful, he still took the phone, though not with the same respect.

"Secretary Sha, what exactly is going on? Why can't this Chang Junhao, this Secretary Chang, investigate and ask some questions?"

"What evidence do you have? Or what paperwork do you have?" Sha Ruijin asked directly.

"You're the provincial party secretary, can't you speak to him directly?"

"Alright, Director Hou, this matter isn't as simple as you think. You should come back now!" Sha Ruijin clearly didn't want to say anything more to Hou Liangping.

"But what about Chang Junhao's situation..."

"Comrade Junhao's matter will naturally be investigated by your superiors!" Sha Ruijin said directly.

"The investigation can only continue after all the formalities are completed and the personnel from the General Administration are present!"

“Doing this now is against the rules, you know that?” Sha Ruijin said directly.

"You can come back now!"

"What if he also ends up like Ding Yizhen, suddenly..." Hou Liangping wanted to say something more.

"Comrade Hou Liangping!" Sha Ruijin also became serious at this moment, no longer referring to himself as Liangping or Director Hou.

"Secretary Sha..."

"Come back now, that's it!" With that, Sha Ruijin hung up the phone.

Chang Junhao, meanwhile, kept staring at the guy, saying something about how he would run away like Ding Yizhen.

It's absolutely laughable. Who would run away? Chang Junhao would never run away.

Otherwise, his father and grandfather could have just shot him.

Moreover, he wanted to see what methods these people had in order to investigate him.

There's even the Zhong family behind them; they have quite the influence.

His old man, who doesn't even easily set foot in his grandfather's courtyard, is now swaggering around in front of him.

However, looking at the little monkey's hysterical state, I have to say it's quite amusing.

Just like Chang Junhao said before, treat it as watching a monkey show. If he really disappears, we don't know where we'll be able to watch it again.

"I will definitely come back!" Hou Liangping said to Chang Junhao after hanging up the phone, and then left with his men.

"Ha!" Chang Junhao sneered. Although he couldn't kill him, making him pay a price was no problem.

Don't you value your dignity very much?

I wonder what kind of expression this guy would have if Chang Junhao tore off his fig leaf?

One person, who also lives off a woman, looks down on others who do the same.

A person who constantly shouts for fairness, yet simply because he and his wife cannot live apart for an extended period of time, he gets transferred to Beijing with a single phone call.

They're still acting all high and mighty in front of Chang Junhao now; they're really giving him too much face.

However, no sooner had the people left than Chang Junhao's phone rang again.

"Hey!

"Secretary Junhao, it's me..."
