Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"Also, you'd better not have done anything bad for me in Handong Province, or you should understand!" Zhong Xiaoai instructed.

"I understand!" Hou Liangping hurriedly agreed with a mournful face.

"And you know me, my dear wife, I am absolutely loyal to you and to our family!"

"Even if you lent me a few times the courage, even if you lent me the guts of a bear or a leopard, I still wouldn't dare!"

"Hmph, good to know!" Zhong Xiaoai said and hung up the phone.

When Hou Liangping realized the call had ended, his face immediately fell. He turned the car around and headed to another location.

She covered her face and went to buy some medicine to nourish her body before returning home. All the way, she seemed to be in some kind of predicament.

However, after hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiaoai began to ponder, and soon after, she called her father.

At first, no one answered the phone. Later, when someone did answer, it was the secretary. It took almost two hours before someone finally answered the phone.

"Xiao Ai, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Dad, do you remember Chang Junhao, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City in Handong Province, whom you mentioned before?"

"I remember, what's wrong?" the person on the other end asked.

"What kind of person is he? I'm going on this business trip specifically to investigate this Party Secretary of Jingzhou!" Zhong Xiaoai said.

"What you're saying about what's behind him, is it really...?"

"I tried to find out information before, but I couldn't. Besides, it's possible to find out information, and no one warned me!"

"From this perspective, one reason is that people trust him, while the other reason is not; he has nothing to do with that family!"

"Dad, this time..."

"Dig deeper!" The person on the other end thought for a moment and then chose the direction that was most advantageous to them.

“What if he really is…” Zhong Xiaoai asked directly.

"The possibility isn't particularly high!" the other person interrupted directly.

"If it really is true, and if there's no problem, then we've completely avoided any issues for them! We've given him the clearest possible innocence!"

"But if that's not the case, then the investigation won't encounter any resistance!"

"However, if there are any problems, you must keep the evidence in your own hands, understand?" the person on the other end said.

"Dad, have you taken a liking to this person?" Zhong Xiaoai instantly understood her father's thoughts.

"It also depends on him. He can't be left alone while he's up there!"

"If his methods are skillful, then taking him in might not be a bad idea. Just like I said before, his future is limitless!"

"Even from my current position, I might not be able to stop him!"

"If the methods aren't very sophisticated, you can only be used once at most, or even have no right to be used at all!"

“I understand, Dad!” Zhong Xiaoai nodded.

"Well, anyway, this is over. You can decide what to do yourself. Also, be careful not to let Sha Ruijin use you as a pawn!"

"Although we have a good relationship, this guy is also very good at using others' strength against him!"

"We can't put in the effort for nothing and be taken advantage of!"

“I understand, Dad!” Zhong Xiaoai said obediently.

"Well, whatever you decide is up to you!" the person on the other end said, and then hung up the phone.

Having received the news, Zhong Xiaoai knew what she had to do. She returned home and began packing her things, preparing to go to Handong Province to investigate.

Meanwhile, Chang Junhao was busy with other things in his office, putting aside the matter of Hou Liangping.

It's not time to leave work yet; I need to familiarize myself with everything in Jingzhou City.

"Hello, this is Chang Junhao!" Chang Junhao answered the phone again.

"Secretary Chang, we are the managers of Shanshui Group!"

"I heard from Guangming District that they want us to continue investing money to buy shares and land in Dafeng Factory. Isn't that a bit difficult?"

"This is completely..."

"Alright, enough of that. I'll just ask you one question: you bought land worth hundreds of millions for tens of millions. Do you think that's excessive?"

"That document was previously invalidated because of corruption issues!"

"Now it's either you get your share back, or you hand over the money!"

“You still have the right of first refusal. If you don’t want it, I will auction off this land again!” Chang Junhao reprimanded him directly.

"Secretary Chang, our Shanshui Group..."

“I know the situation behind your Shanshui Group, and I know how many people are involved!” Chang Junhao said.

“But these decisions were made by our Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee!” Chang Junhao said.

"Secretary Chang, this is a bit..."

Chang Junhao hung up the phone before he could say anything more.

When Li Dakang was here, he couldn't control the Shanshui Group, so in the end, Jingzhou City had to foot the bill.

That's the Shanshui Group, where Zhao Ruilong works, and there are also many people from the Handa Gang involved.

However, Chang Junhao didn't take the people from Shanshui Group, Zhao Ruilong, or the Handa Gang seriously.

Making mistakes comes with consequences, and since the Shanshui Group had a hand in it, Chang Junhao wasn't going to fall for it.

Immediately after thinking for a moment, Chang Junhao called Qi Tongwei directly.

"I am Qi Tongwei!"

“It’s me, Chang Junhao!” Chang Junhao said calmly.

"Secretary Chang, hello!" Qi Tongwei stood up immediately and said respectfully.

"Shanshui Group, have you completely evacuated?" Chang Junhao asked.

"Secretary Chang, the evacuation is already underway!" Qi Tongwei said hurriedly, but how much of this statement was true?

It's unclear exactly how many he evacuated himself.

Moreover, it's not so easy to withdraw from or clean up the mess of such a large corporation.

"Well, my next step might be to target the Shanshui Group. I hope you won't get involved!" Chang Junhao said calmly.

"Also, there are some situations inside that require your assistance!"

"Yes, Secretary Chang!" Qi Tongwei replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, he had no choice but to quicken his pace and give up those benefits.

"It's good to know!"

After he finished speaking, Chang Junhao's phone rang again. He didn't know why things were so lively today.

I just don't know if they're here to congratulate me or if they have something to ask.

"I am Chang Junhao!"

"Secretary Chang, hello there, this is Zhao Ruilong!" A nonchalant voice came from the other end of the line.

"Zhao Ruilong?" Upon hearing this, Chang Junhao raised an eyebrow slightly. He hadn't expected that it would be this guy calling him.

"What's the matter?" Chang Junhao asked directly, not being so polite to him.

"Secretary Chang, what I want to talk about is the Shanshui Group. I've heard that you're quite domineering!"

"Even normal business competition can't be guaranteed now?"

"With you acting like this, it's hard to believe in the business environment of Jingzhou City!" Zhao Ruilong said.

"Won't we be afraid that everyone will leave Jingzhou City?"

"This Shanshui Group..."

"Alright, Zhao Ruilong, I believe you know the truth about the matter between Shanshui Group and Dafeng Factory!"

"Moreover, when the loan was taken out, Cai Chenggong, the factory director of Dafeng Factory, did not have the authority to mortgage the employees' shares!"

"This document is invalid!" Chang Junhao said.

"The only way to pay for this land now is for the Shanshui Group to come up with the funds; otherwise, we'll have to continue auctioning it off!"

"As for the business environment you mentioned, even without Butcher Zhang, does that mean we can only eat pigs with hair on?" Chang Junhao said.

"I believe they all know what really happened!"

"Does your Shanshui Group want this money and this land or not?"

"Secretary Chang, don't you know..."

"Are you alright?" Chang Junhao asked directly.

"Alright, alright, I can't afford to offend our Secretary Chang. I'll find someone..."

"Beep beep beep..."

However, not long after hanging up, before Chang Junhao had finished processing a few documents, someone came again.

"Secretary Chang? Hello, it's been a long time. I'm Zhao Lichun..."
