In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

They hugged for almost a minute before separating.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Luo's secretary, Liu Mingyu, kept his head down. The reason was simple: he shouldn't be on screen...

"Honey, you've lost weight while I've been away from you."

Zhang Nian stroked Chen Luo's face, while Chen Luo smiled and shook his head.

"No, that's not true. Let's go, let's get in the car first."

The group left the airport quickly.

The Provincial Party Committee compound.

As soon as Chen Luo's car number eight stopped, Chen Luo and his family of four quickly got out of the car.

Immediately afterward, another car stopped, and Chen Luo's mother-in-law, Liu Li, got out of the back seat.

"This will be our home for the next few years."

After Chen Luo pointed to Villa No. 8 in front of them and finished speaking, Zhang Nian also examined it for a moment and replied, "The environment is very nice. As long as our family is together, we can live anywhere."

"Let's go inside!"

After settling his wife and children in, Chen Luo called his secretary Liu Mingyu over and instructed him, "Mingyu, you're a local from Handong. Can you help me find a good school in Jingzhou? My two children are in the fifth grade of elementary school. Can you also help coordinate their transfer procedures?"

"No problem, Secretary Chen!"

Liu Mingyu replied readily; this was no challenge for him at all. The only thing he needed to consider was the school selection process.

Liu Mingyu left, and Chen Luo's family, having finally managed to get together, naturally enjoyed the warmth of family time.

In the master bedroom at night.

Chen Luo and his wife lay in bed, their breathing still rapid, and the flush on their faces had not yet subsided.

"Honey, I miss you so much, it's been a month!"

Chen Luo held Zhang Nian in his arms, feeling the warmth of his lover, and gently comforted her, "I've just been busy with work."

"Yes, you've been getting busier and busier with work these past few years, honey. Don't overwork yourself."

"Hmm, it's okay, it can't crush me."

"Sigh, honey, how high a position do you think is considered 'high'?"

Chen Luo paused for a moment, without giving a direct answer.

"Wife, do you still remember why I chose to pursue a career in politics?"

The sudden question also silenced Zhang Nian.

"I remember!"

"Honey, if my former dean hadn't called my senior alumnus who had been working for many years back then, that incident would have been a very, very difficult hurdle for us."

From that day on, I vowed to truly protect you and safeguard our family. Money alone isn't enough; you need power!

This is a bloody truth.

Zhang Nian understood everything, or rather, she was the one who could best sense the changes in their family after her husband's career and power expanded.

Although Zhang Nian has stopped working in the financial industry in recent years, she occasionally invests in stocks. Those former high-ranking colleagues, bosses, and securities executives now behave themselves like mules in front of her.

It's not that they've learned their lesson; it's that they have a husband who is the mayor of Su City!

What others feared was not the wealth his family possessed, but rather the power Chen Luo held.

Because of this thought, Zhang Nian hugged Chen Luo even tighter.

"Honey, you've worked so hard!"

"Hahaha, it's not hard work. You manage the company's affairs and take care of the child all by yourself. You are the biggest contributor to our family."

"Hmph, sweet talk, looks like you still have some energy left. Continue!"

"Fine, let's continue, you little vixen, take this!"

As dawn broke, Chen Luo rubbed his lower back and walked down the stairs.

I indulged myself a bit too much last night...

However, Chen Luo was in very good physical condition, and his complexion was still rosy and glowing. As soon as he came downstairs, he saw that his mother-in-law had already prepared breakfast for him.

"Mom, why are you up so early?"

Liu Li untied her apron and smiled back, "I knew you go to work early, and besides, the two little ones will be up soon too."

I still have to take them both to their new school today.

As Chen Luo listened, he sat down at the table to eat breakfast. At that moment, he seemed to be just an ordinary father and a responsible husband, rather than the secretary in charge of political and legal affairs in Handong!

After having breakfast, Chen Luo had just stepped out when the driver was already waiting for him.

The day's work unfolded in full swing. For Chen Luo at this stage, the first thing to do in rectifying the Handong political and legal system was to understand the situation, especially the personnel situation!

This was also the purpose of Sha Ruijin's investigation: to first determine who was capable and who was not, and then to make drastic changes, since the vast majority of problems are essentially personnel issues.

If the right people are used, the problem will naturally be solved.

At the No. 1 Primary School in Jingzhou City, Handong Province, when Liu Mingyu drove Chen Luo's mother-in-law and two children to the school, the principal personally greeted them.

Although she didn't know the identities of Chen Zhengshu and Chen Zhengxi, Liu Mingyu was also a division-level cadre, half a rank higher than her, so she naturally couldn't be careless.

Quite by chance, Chen Zhengshu and Chen Zhengxi were assigned to Class 1 of the fifth grade, and in this class, a little boy's eyes were already narrowed as he stared intently at the brother and sister.

Chen Luo naturally wouldn't know about the school's situation. Of course, this doesn't mean Chen Luo doesn't care about his children; rather, he trusts Liu Mingyu's abilities as his secretary.

As for Zhang Nian...

She also chose not to appear at the school, partly because Zhang Nian needed to purchase some necessities, such as two cars for her own use or for her mother-in-law Liu Li's daily use.

One concern is that if they were recognized in public, it might affect the normal study and life of Chen Zhengshu and his sister.

After all, Zhang Nian has a high reputation in the investment and financial circles!

Life and work proceeded in an orderly manner.

A week later.

After a week, Chen Luo had a basic grasp of the situation in the political and legal system of Handong, and was just waiting for a favorable opportunity.

Chen Luo didn't intend to create this gust of wind himself.

Beijing.

In the office of the Director of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Hou Liangping was busy verifying evidence and the progress of the investigation.

"The line of reasoning is now very clear: the businessmen's accusations are most likely true, and Zhao Dehan is undoubtedly the culprit!"

With a sigh of relief, Hou Liangping immediately went to the office of the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and pushed the door open.

"Director Qin, we've made a discovery!"

Qin Siyuan, who was reviewing the report, was startled by Hou Liangping's sudden appearance, and his eyes twitched almost imperceptibly.

This Hou Liangping is really unruly; he doesn't even know to knock first. Qin Siyuan is, after all, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Supreme People's Procuratorate and a deputy provincial-level cadre.

However, the thought of the Zhong family behind Hou Liangping completely overshadowed Qin Siyuan's anger.

"Comrade Liangping, don't rush, speak slowly."

"Director Qin, based on reports from some businessmen, it has now been basically determined that Zhao Dehan, the director of the Project Division of the Department of Natural Resources Development and Utilization of the Ministry of Energy, is suspected of major corruption!"

We should proceed with the search and evidence collection immediately! That's why I'm here to request a search warrant.
