Li Dakang, you forced me into this. You're just trying to protect your political reputation, aren't you?
I'd like to see you get that murder stain on your record. You never want to be a governor again.
Liu Can remained expressionless, opened the driver's seat, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and began reversing away from Dafeng Factory.
Zizzi! !
Upon hearing this, Li Dakang's face immediately darkened.
. . . . . .
"Hey, Uncle Zhao. Hello, I'm Lin Yunfei."
Lin Yunfei made a phone call to the newly appointed provincial governor, Zhao Anbang.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Anbang's voice was steady and strong: "Oh, it's Yunfei. What's up?"
Lin Yunfei took a deep breath and said firmly, "Uncle Zhao, I have some important things to report to you in person. It's about the inside story of the Dafeng Factory demolition and the improper behavior of some local officials involved."
Zhao Anbang paused for a moment, seemingly weighing his options, and then said, "Alright, come on over. I'll be waiting for you at the Provincial Government Office."
After hanging up the phone, a resolute glint flashed in Lin Yunfei's eyes.
This time, he was determined to expose all the darkness, no matter the cost.
The Range Rover sped through the night, Lin Yunfei's gaze piercing through the distance, as if he could already see the impending political storm.
Soon, the vehicle stopped in front of the provincial government office building.
Lin Yunfei straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.
"Uncle Zhao, this is what happened. The 116 Dafeng Factory incident involved the traitor Ding Yizhen, who illegally altered the land use designation..."
"In 1996, Li Dakang was the county magistrate of Jinshan County. Because he advocated road construction and was eager for quick results... it ultimately led to the death of a 60-year-old villager on the road construction site."
"At the time, Zhao Lichun was the vice governor. Because Li Dakang was his secretary, Zhao Lichun suppressed the matter and protected Li Dakang to the death."
"Wang Dalu, the then executive deputy county head of Jinshan County, took the blame."
"Wang Dalu was later forced to leave and go into business. He has now established the Dalu Group. Thanks to his relationship with Li Dakang, he also helps Li Dakang raise his daughter Li Jiajia... and pays Li Dakang's daughter's tuition fees, which amount to millions every year."
Lin Yunfei reported everything he knew to Zhao Anbang without reservation. From the demolition of Dafeng Factory to the disregard for human life by Li Dakang and others, every detail was explained clearly.
Zhao Anbang listened quietly, his expression growing increasingly serious. He knew that this matter involved more than just the positions of a few officials.
It even involved Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary.
This is a political struggle.
After Lin Yunfei finished his report, Zhao Anbang slowly stood up, his eyes sharp: "Yunfei, I will take the situation you reported very seriously. Rest assured, as long as the truth exists, it will definitely be revealed."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunfei felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "Uncle Zhao, the reason I came to you first was to give you a heads-up."
"I'm going to the Central Inspection Team later to file a formal complaint against Li Dakang."
"In 1996, Li Dakang in Jinshan County disregarded human life."
Zhao Anbang fell silent, his right hand clenching tightly. He spoke in a pleading tone, "Yunfei, have you considered that what you're doing might make the higher-ups... think the Lin family will suffer?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunfei remained calm: "Uncle Zhao, I won't offend others unless they offend me."
"Li Dakang has turned against me and suspended me from my duties."
"Our opponent has already made their move."
"I can't pretend nothing's wrong."
“In that case, other families in the capital will think that our Lin family is weak and easy to bully.”
Lin Yunfei's expression was solemn as he tapped the table with his right hand: "This is a struggle, a life-or-death struggle."
Zhao Anbang gasped, his brows furrowing. "Alright, Yunfei. You're right."
"Go to the inspection team with confidence, Uncle Zhao will always be your support."
Lin Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Zhao, I suggest that the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee convene a three-person group meeting to reconsider the demolition of Dafeng Factory."
"Mayor Wu and Sun Liancheng are both on our side."
Zhao Anbang's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll call Wu Xiongfei right now."
Lin Yunfei's gaze was deep as he said in a deep voice, "In addition, Uncle Zhao, you can reach a cooperation agreement with Gao Yuliang."
"It's a temporary cooperation; only through cooperation can we fight against Sha Ruijin."
In other words, the second-in-command and the third-in-command of the provincial party committee are cooperating.
Use a three-person group meeting for voting. The minority must submit to the majority.
Zhao Anbang stood up and gently patted Lin Yunfei: "Yunfei, you've grown up. Uncle Zhao will consider it."
． ． ． ． ． ． ．
After leaving the provincial government building, Lin Yunfei rode in a Range Rover. Without stopping, he arrived at the Jingzhou Grand Hotel and met with the central inspection team.
"I am filing a formal complaint against Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, for his blatant disregard for human life!"
After a while, Lin Yunfei was taken to a room. There was also a camera pointed at his face.
Chu Zhongzhou led Zhong Xiaoai into the room.
Chu Zhongzhou, with a serious expression, sat in the main seat: "Comrade Yunfei, you just said you wanted to file a formal complaint against Li Dakang, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, for disregarding human life?"
“That’s right, Secretary Chu,” Lin Yunfei said in a serious voice.
Zhong Xiaoai sat to the side, holding a pen, taking notes.
Lin Yunfei slowly began to speak: "My investigation revealed that in 1996, the county magistrate of Jinshan County in Lüzhou City was Li Dakang."
"After Li Dakang took office, he was eager for quick success and instant benefits and wanted to achieve political achievements. So he raised funds to build roads... A 60-year-old villager died on the road construction site."
"At the time, Zhao Lichun was the vice governor. Because Li Dakang was his secretary, Zhao Lichun suppressed the matter and protected Li Dakang to the death."
"Wang Dalu, the then executive deputy county head of Jinshan County, took the blame."
Upon hearing the name Zhao Lichun, Zhong Xiaoai's eyes lit up. She quickly jotted down the key points.
"Wang Dalu?"
"That's right, this person is Wang Dalu, the current chairman of Jingzhou Continental Group."
“He was someone who knew about it back then.” Lin Yunfei nodded, his expression serious.
"Secretary Chu, Director Zhong. The inspection team can learn from Wang Dalu and Yi Xuexi; they are both knowledgeable about the situation."
Yi Xuexi is currently the director of the Management Committee of the Lüzhou Development Zone. In 1996, he served as the secretary of the Jinshan County Party Committee.
Lin Yunfei made a surprising statement: "I can take responsibility for what I've said."
Chu Zhongzhou frowned deeply; he hadn't expected that a long-standing cold case would actually involve Zhao Lichun.
"Okay, Yunfei. Our inspection team will verify this, just like Wang Dalu and Yi Xuexi."
"Furthermore, we will send people to Jinshan County, Lüzhou City, to conduct an on-site investigation."
Zhong Xiaoai snapped out of her daze and said urgently, "Secretary Chu, I hope I can personally go to Luzhou to investigate Yi Xuexi."
Chu Zhongzhou nodded: "Alright, Director Zhong, you take these three comrades and head to Lüzhou City."
86. Sha Ruijin: It's over, my political life is over.
86. Sha Ruijin: It's over, my political life is over.
Just as Lin Yunfei was being suspended from his duties by Li Dakang and heading to the Central Inspection Team to file a formal complaint.
Governor Zhao Anbang boarded his official car, license plate number Han A·00002, and arrived at the Han Dong Provincial Party Committee.
He went to the office of Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, immediately.
"Welcome, Governor Anbang." Gao Yuliang, wearing glasses, stood up with a smile to greet you.
"We in Handong need a provincial governor who understands economics."
Zhao Anbang nodded slightly and reached out to shake Gao Yuliang's hand: "Secretary Yuliang, there's something I'd like to discuss with you privately today..."
Gao Yuliang snapped out of his daze and looked at his personal secretary: "You can go out now, no need to pour tea."
"Yes, Secretary Yuliang."
The two exchanged a glance, walked to the sofa, and sat down separately.
Zhao Anbang said with a serious expression: "Secretary Yuliang, Li Dakang dismissed Comrade Yunfei from his post at Dafeng Factory today."
Gao Yuliang's mind raced; he figured it out. This Zhao Anbang wanted to join forces with him to deal with Li Dakang?
“Governor Anbang, Li Dakang is a domineering man who cherishes his political reputation very much,” Gao Yuliang said slowly and earnestly.
Zhao Anbang made a startling statement: "From what I understand, Li Dakang once treated human life with utter disregard."
Gao Yuliang's expression changed drastically, and he could hardly believe it: "Treating human life like dirt?"
“Governor Anbang, this... requires evidence.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Anbang gave a meaningful smile: "In 1996, in Jinshan County, Lüzhou City, Li Dakang was the county magistrate. Because he was eager for quick success and instant benefits and particularly wanted political achievements, he raised funds to build roads... A sixty-year-old villager was worked to death on the construction site."
"This matter was forcibly suppressed by Comrade Zhao Lichun, who was then the Vice Governor of Handong Province."
“Secretary Yuliang, you are the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission. You can easily check the Jinshan County Party Committee archives from 1996.”
Zhao Anbang said with a serious expression: "Li Dakang didn't take the blame for this. Instead, Wang Dalu, the then executive deputy county head, took the fall."
A storm raged within Gao Yuliang's heart.
Gao Yuliang took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Governor Anbang, if this is true, the impact will be far-reaching. We must act cautiously and gather solid evidence."
Zhao Anbang nodded and went straight to the point: "Secretary Yuliang, only by joining forces can we uncover the truth."
Gao Yuliang pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Governor Anbang, give me some time. Three days."
I will give you an answer in three days.
To be honest, Gao Yuliang was somewhat tempted. He knew that this was not only an opportunity to bring down Li Dakang, but also a key factor in confronting Sha Ruijin.
The newly appointed governor, Zhao Anbang, was parachuted in. Lacking a strong foundation, he needs to rely on his own strength to gain a foothold.
Political struggles are like walking on thin ice; a single misstep can lead to utter ruin.
