At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

three days later.

Before the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee could transfer Shen Chuchu to the Provincial Women's Federation, the Central Anti-Organized Crime and Anti-Corruption Eighth Supervision Group seconded Shen Chuchu.

Subsequently, the Eighth Supervision Group entered Jiangnan Province and conducted a two-month follow-up supervision of the anti-gang crime campaign. It not only investigated the case of extortion and embezzlement of private enterprises in Jiangning City, but also investigated and dealt with dozens of cases of violations of discipline and law in the political and legal system, involving hundreds of cadres. It directly overturned the lid of the political and legal system in Jiangnan Province, and had a huge impact!

After the Eighth Supervisory Group finished its work, Shen Chuchu was transferred to the Supreme Court, and the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee dared not obstruct her in any way!

Under these circumstances, He Qingyun's attempt to suppress Shen Chuchu in Jiangnan Province has become a complete joke and has put him in the eye of the storm!

On the one hand, He Bo, the vice governor and director of the Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province, suffered a crushing defeat in this inspection team's follow-up action. He Bo was promoted by He Qingyun in Jiangnan Province and was He Qingyun's absolute confidant!

On the other hand, the corruption in the political and legal system of Jiangnan Province corresponds to the contents of Shen Chuchu's two whistleblower letters. Moreover, Shen Chuchu stated in her whistleblower letters that Provincial Party Secretary He Qingyun exerted pressure to withdraw the case and suspend the work of the Sunshine Court!

This inevitably raises suspicions: Is He Qingyun trying to cover up the problems within the Jiangnan Province political and legal system, or is he trying to protect his confidant, He Bo?

However, regardless of the outcome, the fact that such a serious event occurred in Jiangnan Province at this critical juncture has a fatal impact on He Qingyun and has directly disrupted the He family's plans and arrangements!

When the old master of the He family saw the report from the eighth supervisory group, he was so angry that his eyes went black and his blood pressure soared. He immediately called He Qingyun and told him to get back to Beijing and explain to him.

After receiving the call, He Qingyun did not dare to delay and took an afternoon flight back to Beijing.

When He Qingyun arrived in Beijing, it was already dark. The director of the Jiangnan Province Liaison Office in Beijing personally came to the airport to greet him and then took He Qingyun to the He family compound.

The car was stopped by guards at the alley entrance. He Qingyun told the director of the Beijing office to return, got out of the car alone, and walked towards the He family compound.

Looking at He Qingyun's back and the He family compound, a symbol of power, the director of the Jiangnan Province's Beijing office felt a pang of envy. However, he also knew that with his status, he didn't even have the right to walk to the gate, let alone enter the He family compound.

When He Qingyun reached the door, the secretary of the He family patriarch was already waiting. He saw He Qingyun and said, "The old man hasn't been sleeping well these past few days and is in a very bad mood. Please keep an eye on him."

"it is good."

He Qingyun nodded.

However, today, upon learning of his grandfather's fury, he did not show any fear, but instead frowned.

Soon, He Qingyun was led to the door of the study by his secretary, who went in first to report before allowing He Qingyun to enter the study alone.

In the study, the old master of the He family sat at his desk with a livid face, his cold gaze sweeping over He Qingyun.

As usual, He Qingyun respectfully walked over and greeted him: "Grandpa."

"He Qingyun, you were in charge of the anti-gang campaign in Jiangnan Province just two years ago, and now a bunch of corrupt officials have been found? Moreover, the provincial public security bureau chief you were grooming has become a protector of gangsters and corrupt officials. How did you manage to appoint people?" The old man of the He family scolded him angrily.

He Qingyun lowered his head and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I misjudged him. After He Bo became the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, he said one thing to people's faces and another behind their backs. He's a typical two-faced person..."

"Even at this point, instead of reflecting on your own actions, you're still making excuses? He's two-faced, can't you see that? Are you blind?"

At this point, the old man of the He family gritted his teeth in anger, "Do you know what others are saying about you? He Qingyun is ambitious but incompetent. He can't even manage the cadres of a province. How can the organization entrust him with important responsibilities?"

“Grandpa, you know very well that this is just someone trying to find an excuse to attack me. The key is that Lin Yi is causing trouble!” Upon hearing this, He Qingyun felt a chill in his heart and met the gaze of the old man of the He family with a face full of resentment.

The old man of the He family laughed angrily: "You still have the nerve to mention Lin Yi? You clearly know that Shen Chuchu is Lin Yi's classmate and has a past connection with him. Xu Hongrui specifically transferred her to Jiangnan Province back then, and you still deliberately suppressed her? Have you lost your mind?"

"Grandpa, that Shen Chuchu disobeyed the instructions of the municipal and provincial party committees and was determined to publicly try that economic dispute case. She insisted on doing some kind of transparent court work, which caused such a big online uproar. Moreover, she refused to rectify the problems. If you say there's nothing wrong here, I absolutely don't believe it—it's obvious that Lin Yi was the one who interfered!"

I adjusted Shen Chuchu's position to prevent the situation from escalating further. The municipal party committee submitted a report requesting the replacement of the municipal court president, which was supported by the provincial court and approved by the provincial party committee. All procedures were reasonable and compliant, and I don't see any problems with it!

He Qingyun was no longer as submissive as before, but instead, he talked back, which was extremely rare for him.

"Even if Lin Yi was behind it, Shen Chuchu's public trial of that economic case was just a single case, right? Even if it had a negative impact, it would be very limited. She has no reason to file a formal complaint with the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Without Shen Chuchu's formal complaint, the supervisory team has no reason to investigate thoroughly after entering Jiangnan Province—everything needs a legitimate reason, you understand? I've been teaching you history since you were little, and you've forgotten everything you've learned!"

The old man from the He family slammed his fist on the table in anger, stormed up to He Qingyun, and became increasingly furious as he spoke. Finally, he raised his hand and slapped He Qingyun across the face.

Snapped!

The slap was loud.

He Qingyun neither dodged nor flinched; his face was red from the slap, but there was no regret or fear in his eyes, only gloom.

He looked at the old man of the He family with a gaze that made the old man feel unfamiliar, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, you and I both know very well that the core of the problem is not about cracking down on organized crime."

This time, it was the old man of the He family who remained silent.

"Grandpa, it's because I listened to you when I was little and read too many history books that I believe things won't turn out the way you say. Throughout history, has any loser ever made it to the table?"

Seeing that the old man of the He family remained silent, He Qingyun began to vent his pent-up feelings, "I know you'll tell me that as long as the Hua family and the other side support me, I'll definitely be at the table. But that's self-deception! They support me competing with Lin Yi, that's fine. But if I lose, why should they support me at the table? Even if I get to the table, it won't change the overall situation, and they'll offend the opposing camp and be purged later—how could they be so stupid?"

No, Grandpa.

We both know very well that those two sides will definitely switch sides like the Lu family did back then, instead of supporting me to sit at the table.

This way, they can avoid being purged and even have the hope of supporting their own people to the table—a choice even a primary school student could make!

"you……"

Upon hearing He Qingyun's rebuttal, the old master of the He family was both shocked and furious. He pointed at He Qingyun, as if to say something.

however--

Before he could speak, He Qingyun continued, "Grandpa, I admit that in terms of economic development, I can't compare to Lin Yi, but in terms of political maneuvering, I believe I'm second to none among my peers! In this game, the He family didn't lose because of me, but because of you!"

"He Qingyun, what did you say?!"

The old master of the He family was furious.

But He Qingyun seemed completely reckless, utterly unafraid, and said, word by word, "Grandpa, if I were you, I wouldn't stop Lin Yi from pushing for real estate reform; instead, I would fully support him. Doing so might seem like losing the support of Chen Yunfan's faction, but in reality, it allows for both offense and defense."

Because Lin Yi, without any resistance, pushed forward with comprehensive real estate reforms, leading to a hard landing for the real estate market and a nationwide plunge in housing prices. At that critical juncture, facing internal and external troubles, the economic problems would have been extremely serious, making him a sinner! Even if he succeeded, we don't have a problem with direction; as long as I give up competing with him, I'll still have a chance to be on the table!

“Haha…hahaha…hahahahaha…”

The old man of the He family laughed angrily, "He Qingyun, are you willing to give up? You're not! Do you really think the higher-ups would allow Lin Yi to fully promote real estate reform at that time? Or do you think the higher-ups have no control at all? If the higher-ups didn't have control, he wouldn't have been stopped when he launched it in Southeast Province! If the higher-ups didn't have control, he wouldn't have been driven out of Pengcheng! Lin Yi leaving Pengcheng wasn't my doing, it was the other side that took the initiative, understand?"

At this point, the old man of the He family paused, a look of pain flashing across his face, before continuing to angrily rebuke, "You're talking to me about power politics? Do you even know what power politics is? Do you think I don't know what the higher-ups are planning?"

You yourself said that you can't compare to Lin Yi in terms of reform and development, so what makes you think you can win the support of that group? And what makes them support you? If we don't unite with another group, what do we have to compete with them on?

Moreover, what is needed at the top is not a single voice, but a balance. Only in this way can power be stabilized and mistakes corrected in a timely manner when they arise.

You're right about one thing. The problem is indeed with me. I protected you too much and decided early on that you would be the head of the He family, which made you feel no pressure and no competitive spirit. It made you think that everything was a matter of course!

He Qingyun, at twenty years old, you are the best among the younger generation!

At thirty years old, you are the best among the younger generation of the He family!

At forty years old, you're not even as good as your younger brothers!

You have completely disappointed me!

Everyone else is making progress, but you're just lying in your comfort zone, relying on resources to boost your political achievements, and you're so self-righteous and arrogant!

"They were absolutely right about you—ambitious but incompetent. You didn't deserve to participate in this competition at all. But I no longer have the chance to correct my mistake—there's no turning back now. I regret it so much!"

After speaking emotionally, the old man of the He family suddenly leaned against the desk with a pained expression, his body swaying precariously.

He Qingyun noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to help the old man of the He family: "Grandpa..."

"puff!"

The old master of the He family coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed into He Qingyun's arms.

Immediately, chaos erupted in the He family compound.

The old man of the He family was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late to save him.

That evening, the old man of the He family passed away due to illness.

The news sent shockwaves through the capital!
