Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 270 Alliance

Xia Qing leaned back in her chair and said slowly:

"This is interesting. The second young master of the Zhou family in Beijing has appeared behind this incident. Tongwei, what do you think?"

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said:

"I have a bold guess: Secretary Luo Jian and the Zhou family have an inseparable connection."

"That's what I think too." Xia Qing nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Given Luo Jian's sudden promotion to the Standing Committee, the power behind him must be extraordinary. If he is from the Zhou family in Beijing, then it makes sense."

Qi Tongwei then said:

"So, what was Luo Jian's intention in arranging for his trusted confidants to provide evidence to the Zhou family in the case?"

Xia Qing signaled to the others to leave the command center, leaving only himself, Qi Tongwei, and Li Gangxin inside.

Qi Tongwei waved his hand, and the others obediently withdrew and closed the door behind them.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xia Qing said in a low and solemn voice:

"Based on Secretary Yuliang's earlier speculation, and combined with the intelligence we have, the Zhou family is assisting Li Dakang in framing Bai Jingwen. Luo Jian is a member of the Zhou family, the Zhao family is involved, and Wu Tianliang and Boss Qian are insiders."

Qi Tongwei and Li Gangxin gasped in shock.

This is a serious matter.

Gao Yuliang's initial guess was that Zhao Lichun and Li Dakang were both working for the benefit of the three major groups in Jingzhou, namely the Zhou, Xu, and Li families behind them.

However, the three major families are so powerful that dealing with them requires a long-term plan and a gradual approach.

But now.

The framing of Bai Jingwen is no longer solely the work of Li Dakang and Zhao Lichun.

The Zhou family actually got involved themselves.

In this way, we will inevitably be hesitant to act rashly.

To overturn Bai Jingwen's conviction and to what extent should accountability be pursued?

We must consider this carefully!

Qi Tongwei said slowly:

"This is a big problem; we can't just charge forward without any regard for the consequences..."

Seeing this, Xia Qing stroked his chin and said:

"Perhaps this is a good opportunity. We'll have to deal with these cancers sooner or later; it's just that we're doing it sooner. The next step is to directly attack Luo Jian."

Next, Xia Qing instructed Qi Tongwei to give him a copy of this video evidence.

Qi Tongwei immediately went to do it.

After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Xia Qing took the evidence and found Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu.

Upon Xia Qing's arrival, Sha Ruijin was overjoyed and hurriedly welcomed her into his office, saying:

"Xia Qing's arrival is just in time. Guo Fu's progress is going well, and he was just about to share it with us."

Tian Guofu then told Xia Qing the truth about the fictitious two million yuan bribe.

After listening, Xia Qing summarized two points.

First, Li Dakang is definitely Zhao Lichun's man, and sending Bai Jingwen to Guangming District was already fraught with danger.

Sha Ruijin felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and subconsciously touched his nose.

At first, he thought Li Dakang was one of his own, someone who was obsessed with the idea of ​​pairing Li and Sha.

Therefore, he felt confident enough to send Bai Jingwen to take up a post in Guangming District, hoping that Li Dakang would cooperate so that he could smoothly control Guangming District and even Jingzhou City.

Sha Ruijin's plan is to increase his prestige in Handong through his own efforts after losing the support of the Ni family, and regain his position as the provincial party secretary who controls everything.

Who would have thought that Li Dakang was actually Zhao Lichun's man?

They also conspired to frame Bai Jingwen.

Looking back now, I realize that I also bear some responsibility for the grievances and misunderstandings Bai Jingwen suffered over there.

Xia Qing's second point is...

Wu Tianliang, director of the Guangming District Party Committee Office, must be thoroughly investigated.

Next, Xia Qing showed the two his work.

After observing the actions of Luo Jian's confidants.

Sha Ruijin was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Tian Guofu summarized for Sha Ruijin:

Zhou Wen, the second son of the Zhou family and chairman of Changlong Group in Jingzhou City, has dealings with Luo Jian.

Luo Jian's backer can basically be identified as the Zhou family in the capital.

Luo Jian handed the evidence over to Zhou Wen and his family through Zhou Wen's legal counsel.

Then, Luo Jian used a joint task force to block important evidence and witnesses, preventing them from being known to the outside world.

This step may no longer be something Li Dakang can control.

It was an instruction from the Zhou family.

Luo Jian, in his capacity as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, abused his power to interfere with the formal investigation and solidify Bai Jingwen's case.

Sha Ruijin added:

"Can I assume that Luo Jian is a member of the Zhou family, and Li Dakang is not only a member of the Zhao family, but also a member of the Zhou family?"

Xia Qing said solemnly:

"That's one way to put it, but not entirely. Besides being Zhao Lichun's direct subordinate, Li Dakang also has to obey the three major families behind the three major groups in Jingzhou. In other words, he is Zhao's agent in Jingzhou, and also a tool in the hands of the three major families. As for Luo Jian, it was probably the Zhou family's instructions that led him to temporarily join forces with Li Dakang to jointly plan a scheme to frame District Party Secretary Bai Jingwen and consolidate the power of Guangming District and Jingzhou."

Sha Ruijin pondered for a moment and said:

"So, this time we're going to settle things once and for all... Our opponents are Li Dakang and the three major families? And the half-dead Zhao family?"

Xia Qing smiled wryly:

"You could say that."

Tian Guofu, who had been listening nearby, interjected, speaking with righteous indignation:

"Secretary Sha, that's precisely why Bai Jingwen absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble! And he must return to Guangming District as secretary! I now fully understand Secretary Xia's earlier reason for letting Bai Jingwen continue. As long as we stand by Bai Jingwen through this ordeal, it will be equivalent to demonstrating our stance and attitude to Li Dakang and the three major families! This sharp blade piercing the heart of Jingzhou City will be forged and reborn, overcoming all obstacles!"

Xia Qing smiled and said:

"It sounds like a martial arts novel. However, I completely agree with Comrade Guofu's words. Secretary Sha, it's time to launch a full-scale attack on the last remaining malignant tumor entrenched in Handong!"

After a pause, Xia Qing added:

"That leader certainly hopes to see Secretary Sha strategize and command with great skill on such a crucial battlefield of right and wrong!"

Sha Ruijin couldn't immediately recall which leader it was.

A few seconds later, he suddenly realized what was happening.

Grandpa Ni made arrangements in advance and took the initiative to explain.

At the cost of the Ni family.

To successfully align oneself with the person behind Liang Yuan, the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!

That leader, however, remained indifferent towards me.

They must be observing.

If what Xia Qing said is true, then on such a major issue of right and wrong, he should demonstrate his firm stance and effective command and planning.

Perhaps I really will win that person's favor and reap a second spring in my political life!

After careful consideration, Sha Ruijin stood up and said with great confidence:

"Excellent! Comrade Xia Qing, Comrade Guo Fu! With you two here, we are confident that great things will be accomplished!"

Tian Guofu laughed heartily:

"It's quite interesting that the three of us parachuted-in cadres have ended up on the same side! How interesting!"

Xia Qing's gaze was sharp as a sword, and she said decisively:

"Gentlemen, the moment that will decide Handong, and indeed our fate, has finally arrived!"
