Li Dakang, you deserve to die. I'm taking the blame for you, and I still have to protect you.
Sha Ruijin took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He knew that every step from here on out was crucial.
The newly appointed provincial governor, Zhao Anbang, has joined forces with Gao Yuliang. It's clear they want Li Dakang dead!
Sha Ruijin secretly pondered that he must find a solution as soon as possible.
By the way, witnesses: Yi Xuexi and Wang Dalu.
If these two witnesses change their testimonies, I will have a chance to save Li Dakang. The testimonies of Yi Xuexi and Wang Dalu are crucial.
Jingle Bell! !
Just then, his adoptive father, Chen Yanshi, called again.
Sha Ruijin slowly closed his eyes, not wanting to answer.
But the phone kept ringing.
"Hello, Uncle Chen." Sha Ruijin answered the phone, looking exhausted.
Chen Yanshi's voice was urgent: "It's terrible, Xiao Jinzi. They've kidnapped Zheng Xipo!"
94. Sha Ruijin was furious and the supervisory team interrogated Li Dakang.
94. Sha Ruijin was furious and the supervisory team interrogated Li Dakang.
Sha Ruijin frowned upon hearing this. He secretly thought to himself, "It means Zheng Xipo has been arrested."
It's not like you, Chen Yanshi, were arrested.
An ordinary citizen would never have the chance to see me under normal circumstances. Even Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, would never have the chance to see me.
If it weren't for you, my adoptive father, I, Sha Ruijin, wouldn't be in such a passive position now.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Yanshi continued rambling, "Little Jinzi. It's Lin Yunfei, it's Lin Yunfei's revenge."
Chen Yanshi began his habitual double standards again: "This Lin Yunfei is seriously out of touch with the masses. This is fabricating a false case, clearly showing that he doesn't respect you."
Anyone who goes against his wishes or opposes him is considered out of touch with the masses and derelict in their duty.
Sha Ruijin took a deep breath, feeling extremely agitated, and said in official jargon: "Uncle Chen, things are not as simple as you think. Lin Yunfei's actions will be judged by the law, and I cannot make a decision based solely on one side of the story. I understand your feelings."
"Well then, Uncle Chen, I'll make a call and ask Comrade Lin Yunfei what's going on."
"I have another meeting to attend, a provincial party committee meeting. I'll hang up now."
"Uncle Chen, you and Aunt Wang, please take care of yourselves." Sha Ruijin hung up the phone, but his heart was filled with unease. His face was ashen.
He picked up his phone and dialed Lin Yunfei's number.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Yunfei's voice was calm and firm: "Secretary Sha, our Handong Provincial State Security Department follows all procedures. The formalities are complete, and we will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we tolerate a criminal."
The implication of this statement is that you, Sha Ruijin, cannot find any flaws.
Lin Yunfei's attitude was resolute, clearly showing his confidence in his actions.
You, Sha Ruijin, are calling to try and bail someone out? Don't even think about it.
Sha Ruijin said in a deep voice, "Comrade Lin Yunfei, I understand your responsibilities, but you must ensure fairness."
Lin Yunfei's lips curled into a cold smile as he spoke in official jargon: "Secretary Sha, our Handong Provincial State Security Department is not under the jurisdiction of the Handong Provincial Party Committee. We only obey orders from higher-level units."
The unspoken message of this statement is to tell Sha Ruijin that he has no right to interfere with the work of our National Security Bureau.
If you're so capable, go find the Imperial City Guard, go find Lin Hu, the First Secretary of the Imperial City Guard.
Sha Ruijin gripped his phone tightly, his anger burning inside, but he could only suppress it. He knew that Lin Yunfei was right.
The Lin family, spanning three generations, is indeed formidable.
"The January 16 Incident has had an extremely negative political impact. It has spread rapidly and has even reached foreign countries."
Lin Yunfei remained expressionless and said in a deep voice, "After a meeting and discussion among the top members of the National Security Bureau of Handong Province, a fair decision was made."
"Cai Chenggong, the legal representative of Dafeng Factory, is seriously involved in organized crime. He is suspected of leading a mafia-style organization."
“Cai Chenggong’s core members include Wang Wenge and Zheng Xipo, as well as Ma Wenming.”
"The 116 case involves national security and must be handled in accordance with the law. Any interference will affect judicial fairness."
Sha Ruijin paused for a moment, then softened his tone: "Comrade Lin Yunfei, I believe in your impartiality. However, this matter has significant implications and requires careful handling. Please ensure that every step can withstand scrutiny."
Sha Ruijin's words were a warning to Lin Yunfei: don't give him any leverage. Every step must be in accordance with procedure.
Lin Yunfei replied calmly, his face expressionless: "Secretary Sha, rest assured, we will act strictly in accordance with the law."
Lin Yunfei hung up the phone and thought to himself: Although Sha Ruijin has immense power, he is acting legally and legitimately in this matter.
. . . . .
"Li Zheng, immediately send someone to the Continental Group in Jingzhou City."
"Go and invite Wang Dalu, the important witness, over here."
Lin Yunfei returned to his office, signed a summons himself, and handed it to Li Zheng, the head of a department.
“Wang Dalu was the executive deputy county head of Jinshan County back then. He knew Li Dakang, who raised funds to build roads... which ultimately led to the death of a sixty-year-old man.”
"We must summon Wang Dalu and protect his life."
"Yes, Secretary Lin. I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."
Li Zheng received the summons and quickly assembled an action team, rushing to Jingzhou City. He knew that Wang Dalu's testimony would be key to the case.
Li Zheng led his team to Jingzhou City and headed straight for the headquarters of the Continental Group. Wang Dalu was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Zheng and his group. Li Zheng showed them a summons and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Wang Dalu, please cooperate with us to go to the National Security Bureau for investigation."
Wang Dalu looked panicked, but nodded helplessly.
Agents from the National Security Bureau quickly took him to a bulletproof car and drove him to Dongping City, Handong Province.
Inside the bulletproof car, Wang Dalu felt uneasy, unsure of what kind of situation he would face on this trip.
Wang Dalu felt incredibly bitter: what had he done to deserve this?
"Comrade. Could I see your identification?" Wang Dalu snapped out of his daze and looked at Li Zheng.
Li remained expressionless as he pulled out his National Security Bureau badge from the inside pocket of his jacket.
"Mr. Wang Dalu, please rest assured, we are acting in accordance with the law." Li Zheng's tone was firm as he handed his identification to Wang Dalu. Wang Dalu took the identification and examined it carefully, though he still had some doubts.
. . . . . .
At the same time, let’s talk about two things.
The Central Supervision Group, led by Group Leader Lin Changhe, did not go to the Handong Provincial Party Committee, but instead traveled in a Toyota Coaster.
"Secretary Tian, our inspection team is heading to Luzhou to meet with Comrade Yi Xuexi, the director of the Development Zone Management Committee."
"Please come with us."
"In addition, to protect Comrade Yi Xuexi's safety, all mobile phones must be switched off."
Lin Changhe looked serious. Tian Guofu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Minister Lin. Our Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will fully cooperate with the supervisory team."
Tian Guofu took the lead, took out his own phone, and turned it off.
An hour later, the inspection team arrived in Luzhou. They traveled in a Toyota Coaster and headed straight to the Development Zone Management Committee.
Yi Xuexi was handling official business in his office when he saw Lin Changhe and his group, and he looked slightly surprised. Lin Changhe went straight to the point: "Comrade Yi Xuexi, we are the Central Supervision Group, and I am the group leader, Lin Changhe. We need your cooperation in investigating some issues."
Yi Xuexi quickly stood up and calmly replied, "Minister Lin, please speak. I will answer truthfully."
"Please have a seat, leaders. Let me pour you some water."
Although Yi Xuexi was taken aback, he remained calm and gestured for everyone to sit down. He then personally went to the water dispenser to pour some water.
At this moment, members of the supervision team skillfully brought over two cameras.
Turn on the camera and set up the tripod. Point the lens at an easy-to-learn desk, ensuring every detail is recorded.
"Comrade Yi Xuexi, on behalf of the organization, I have a question for you, and I hope you will answer truthfully." Lin Changhe spoke slowly, his expression extremely serious.
Yi Xuexi nodded: "I will answer truthfully."
"Okay, let's begin."
"Were you serving as the Party Secretary of Jinshan County in 1996?" Lin Changhe asked.
Yi Xuexi was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Yes, I served as the secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee from 1996 to 1998."
Lin Changhe continued, "So, is Li Dakang the county magistrate of Jinshan County?"
Yi Xuexi frowned slightly and recalled for a moment: "Yes, Li Dakang was my partner at the time, and he was the county magistrate of Jinshan County."
Lin Changhe continued, "Did the then county magistrate, Li Dakang, defy public opinion and insist on raising funds to build the road? And because of Li Dakang's mobilization, a sixty-year-old man died?"
Yi Xuexi paused for a moment, then said in a heavy tone, "This is indeed true. County Magistrate Li Dakang strongly advocated for road construction at the time, but an accident unfortunately occurred during the mobilization process, and an elderly man died from overwork. This is a lesson from history."
Lin Changhe's gaze sharpened as he pressed, "Did you oppose road construction at the time, Comrade Yi Xuexi?"
Yi Xuexi took a deep breath and responded frankly: "I did have concerns, worried about funding and safety issues, and Wang Dalu and I explicitly opposed it. Li Dakang raised funds to build the road."
Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, felt his eyelids twitch and quickly coughed, "Cough cough!! Cough cough!!".
Tian Guofu's cough broke the brief silence. Lin Changhe's gaze shifted slightly, signaling him to continue recording.
Yi Xuexi's expression was solemn as he continued, "But in the end, we respected County Chief Li Dakang's decision and fully cooperated with the road construction work."
The supervisors took careful notes, and the camera lens captured every subtle expression.
Lin Changhe made a startling statement: "Comrade Yi Xuexi, do you believe that Li Dakang bears responsibility for disregarding human life?"
Tian Guofu's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly interjected: "Minister Lin, this issue needs to be handled carefully, and we cannot draw conclusions lightly."
“Secretary Tian. I didn’t ask you, please don’t go against the organization.” Lin Changhe suddenly turned his head, stared coldly at Tian Guofu, and said firmly, “Comrade Yi Xuexi was the main leader of Jinshan County at that time, as well as the county party secretary, the top leader.”
"What is the reason that made you and Wang Dalu willingly take the blame for Li Dakang?"
"Was it a deputy provincial-level leader from Handong Province at that time? What did this deputy provincial-level leader say to you?" Lin Changhe began to steer the conversation.
He was just one step away from revealing Zhao Lichun's ID card.
Yi Xuexi paused for a moment before slowly speaking: "I believe that County Chief Li Dakang's starting point was good, but he did make some mistakes in decision-making, which led to the tragedy."
Lin Changhe was somewhat dissatisfied: "Comrade Yi Xuexi, please answer my question directly."
