Chapter 225 Gao Yuliang reveals himself
Everyone looked at Li Dakang.
Even Sha Ruijin felt the same doubt.
Yes, both financial scandals involved Jingzhou Zhongfu Group, and both occurred at sensitive points in the company's financial statements.
Sha Ruijin had already sensed that something was wrong.
Gao Yuliang brought the question that everyone was wondering about to the forefront.
Li Dakang, feeling the gazes of the Standing Committee members, showed little emotional fluctuation and calmly said:
"Secretary Yuliang's words seem somewhat deliberately inciteful. Let me explain. First of all, the two financial crises at Zhongfu Group are both based on solid evidence. So, you're saying that I, Li Dakang, suppressed their crises and then detonated them at the right time, just to annoy Secretary Sha? That doesn't make sense. Zhongfu Group's structure is quite high. The head of Zhongfu Group's headquarters in Beijing is half a rank higher than me, Li Dakang. It doesn't make sense that they would listen to me, does it?"
Li Dakang cleared his throat and continued:
"Secondly, the timing proposed by Secretary Yuliang is also highly suspicious. How did you know that Secretary Sha and Secretary Tian had accounting books? How did you know that they were preparing to report to the Central Committee? Does Secretary Sha expect Secretary Yuliang to report every single detail to you?"
Li Dakang's rebuttal was logically sound and sharp, and everyone turned to look at Gao Yuliang.
Gao Yuliang's reaction was also extremely calm, and he casually said:
"After Liu Qingzhu's incident, the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate worked together to find the account books. Wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for Qi Tongwei or Ji Changming to hand them over to Secretary Sha? Secretary Sha, who hates evil, would also be perfectly reasonable to take the account books and prepare to report them, wouldn't he?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin looked at Gao Yuliang with a puzzled expression, conveying his dissatisfaction through his eyes.
The meaning is simple: wasn't this ledger delivered to me by you, Gao Yuliang? How did it become the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate that delivered it?
Seemingly noticing Sha Ruijin's gaze, Gao Yuliang quickly returned a calm look, asking Sha Ruijin to cooperate.
Sha Ruijin hesitated for a moment, then said nothing.
Throughout the entire process, the two showed almost no change in expression, completing a tacit cooperation solely through their eye contact.
Seeing this, Li Dakang waved his hand and said:
"Fine, even so, even if you, Secretary Yuliang, know everything!"
Li Dakang paused deliberately for a moment, then said in a teasing tone:
"How did the person behind Zhongfu Group know that Secretary Sha and Secretary Tian had obtained the account books? Did they have superhuman eyesight and hearing? Or did someone inform on them?"
Li Dakang's question was forceful and resounding, and everyone present nodded in agreement.
Indeed, even if Gao Yuliang knew that Sha Ruijin had obtained the ledger, how did Zhao Lichun know?
It can't be that Sha Ruijin went to tell Zhao Lichun himself, can it?
Li Dakang revealed a smug expression, wanting to see how Gao Yuliang would respond.
Even Sha Ruijin looked puzzled. He was also wondering how Zhao Lichun knew that the account book was in his hands and went to negotiate with Old Master Ni.
He only thought that Zhao Lichun had connections everywhere.
Looking back now, there are indeed many suspicious points.
The biggest mystery is how Zhao Lichun learned about the account book's movements!
Of everyone present, only Xia Qing knew the truth.
He watched Gao Yuliang with great interest, wondering how Gao Yuliang would resolve all of this.
Gao Yuliang slowly took off his glasses and said with a smile:
"I reported it by phone."
These words were spoken.
Even the Standing Committee members who rarely show their emotions.
At this moment, they also revealed their shock and uproar.
Especially Sha Ruijin.
His expression was complex and extremely unpleasant.
Li Dakang was at a loss for words when faced with Gao Yuliang's almost self-destructive speech.
He didn't expect that Gao Yuliang would actually inform on him, and even dare to say it at this time!
Right now, the only way to get Gao Yuliang to say more is to organize his words and fight back.
Having made up his mind, Li Dakang deliberately smiled and said:
"Look, look! After all this fuss, it turns out Secretary Yuliang is Zhao Lichun's good subordinate!"
Sha Ruijin's gaze toward Gao Yuliang was once again filled with suspicion and incomprehension.
Besides Xia Qing, the other standing committee members also consciously avoided looking at Gao Yuliang in order to avoid getting involved.
At the same time, many people disagreed with Li Dakang's statement.
Everyone knew that Zhao Lichun was the person behind it all, but they all tacitly avoided mentioning his name.
Because this is the Hantong Provincial Party Committee, while Zhao Lichun is at a higher level.
If you mention it, then it's a mistake.
Li Dakang has already broken a taboo.
Only Gao Yuliang calmly looked around at everyone and said:
"I'm just making a phone call to chat, that shouldn't constitute a violation of the law, right?"
Then, Gao Yuliang looked at Li Dakang and smiled:
"But you, after being transferred to Lincheng, have risen through the ranks to your current position as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. Don't you realize your own limitations? Yet at this meeting, you display a disdainful and hostile attitude. Is it really as the people say, that you, Li Dakang, are an unyielding stone?"
The veins on Li Dakang's forehead bulged immediately.
Gao Yuliang pointed at his own nose and cursed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, while Gao Yuliang did inform on the matter, he did not interfere with any investigation.
In truth, Gao Yuliang's shining image of "repaying kindness" is more firmly established.
On the contrary, I was almost labeled as an "ungrateful wretch"!
Li Dakang was furious, but he could only swallow his anger and turn his head to the side, refusing to speak.
Sha Ruijin quickly said:
"Alright, alright, now that things are clear, then..."
"Wait a minute, Secretary Sha, I'm still going on to address that initial question." Gao Yuliang wasn't about to let Li Dakang off the hook, so he interrupted Sha Ruijin and continued, "..."
"Please answer why Zhongfu Group ran into trouble at these two crucial junctures?"
Gao Yuliang's words once again prompted the Standing Committee members to reflect.
Once things are sorted out, it becomes like this:
The Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate handed over the account books to Sha Ruijin.
As the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Gao Yuliang learned through public security, procuratorial, and judicial channels that Sha Ruijin had obtained the account book.
Gao Yuliang informed Zhao Lichun that Sha Ruijin possessed the account book.
Zhongfu Group has collapsed.
Hou Liangping reported the account book to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which then sent personnel to Handong to investigate.
Zhongfu Group has suffered another financial crisis.
At these two different points in time, the same Zhongfu Group successively collapsed.
One time it was for threats, the other time it was for revenge.
Jingzhou is definitely not without responsibility!
As the Party Secretary, Li Dakang was even more implicated!
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Li Dakang had no choice but to raise his hand and make a profound and comprehensive self-criticism for his failure as the municipal party secretary to oversee the two collapses of Zhongfu Group.
Seeing this, Sha Ruijin did not pursue the matter further.
In his view, it was entirely possible for Zhao Lichun to remotely control Zhongfu Group in some way.
What's more important right now is to confirm something with Gao Yuliang.
Because Sha Ruijin had been repeatedly thinking about Gao Yuliang's motivations.
Now, a terrible suspicion has formed in his mind.
He is now eager to verify with Gao Yuliang.
"Alright, meeting adjourned!"
After Sha Ruijin finished speaking, he added:
"Comrade Yuliang, please stay for a moment."
