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

Chapter 204 The Troublesome Ledger

Xia Qing didn't find it strange.

On Hong Kong Island, how about we snatch two people from Zhao Ruilong and send them back to Handong?

That's child's play.

But it was Gao Yuliang.

Clutching his phone, his face beamed with joy.

He was as excited as a child.

Xia Qing couldn't help but laugh:

"I've never seen Secretary Yuliang so happy before."

"Indeed, the last time I was this happy was when Qi Tongwei was promoted to vice-provincial level." After saying this, Gao Yuliang added sincerely:

"Thank you, Minister Xia, thank you so much! I really don't know what I would have done without you..."

Xia Qing waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

Gao Yuliang composed himself, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Minister Xia, I have something else to say... Although you got your hands on the ledgers, it's not a good thing."

Xia Qing was taken aback, and deliberately said:

"Secretary Yuliang, your wife's 300 million yuan matter isn't over yet, why are you bringing up the accounts again? That's not a good thing!"

"I'm fine with whatever you want with me, but I have to say what needs to be said." Gao Yuliang pondered for a moment, then said:

"If this ledger is handed over, Zhao Ruilong will be in a very dangerous situation. In Zhao Lichun's view, the person who hands over the ledger is no different from someone who killed his son."

Xia Qing's pupils dilated slightly as she began to make her own calculations.

What Gao Yuliang said was by no means an exaggeration.

If taking Gao Xiaofeng and her son away from Zhao Ruilong was merely losing a good card to control Gao Yuliang for Zhao Lichun, it wasn't a serious blow.

Therefore, once the ledger is handed over, it will most likely lead to Zhao Ruilong's imprisonment. Even if Zhao Lichun pulls strings to save Zhao Ruilong from jail, the feud will definitely be formed.

In Zhao Lichun's view, this was an attempt to kill Zhao Ruilong.

Whoever submits the account books is Zhao Lichun's mortal enemy.

Although, for the Xia family, Zhao Lichun's counterattack was not a threat.

But if there's a better way, who would want to provoke a mad dog that's relentlessly biting them?

Xia Qing understood that Gao Yuliang raising this question meant he had already come up with a solution.

Let's hear what interesting proposals Kao Yu-liang will come up with.

Thinking of this, Xia Qing asked Gao Yuliang to continue.

Gao Yuliang said:

"You know why I copied the ledger but didn't hand it over: Gao Xiaofeng is being controlled by the Zhao family. Now that I have no more worries, let me speak freely."

Gao Yuliang took a sip of tea and analyzed:

"This ledger records evidence of Zhao Ruilong's crimes, as well as those of officials of all ranks in Handong. It's no small matter. If the person in possession of the ledger voluntarily hands it over, they will inevitably offend Zhao Lichun and provoke a desperate counterattack. But if they don't hand it over voluntarily, and the organization discovers it, they will be accused of intentionally concealing evidence of crimes, their loyalty will be questioned, and their future will certainly be over. Minister Xia, don't you think this makes sense?"

Xia Qing listened attentively. Gao Yuliang's perspective was indeed one he had never considered, and upon closer listening, it made a lot of sense.

This novel perspective made Xia Qing eagerly say:

"Interesting, please continue."

Gao Yuliang paused, then continued:

"Therefore, this ledger definitely needs to be handed over, but it can't be handed over directly, and it certainly can't be handed over by you or me."

Xia Qing nodded and said:

"Secretary Yuliang means..."

"If Minister Xia trusts me, please also give me a copy of Liu Qingzhu's account book," Gao Yuliang said calmly.

"I will hand over the ledgers, but the final results will all go to you, Minister Xia... At the same time, you will also receive an excellent political environment to showcase your talents, as my final gift to you."

Xia Qing became interested.

Gao Yuliang's explanation was so fantastical that it piqued Xia Qing's curiosity.

How many more cards does Gao Yuliang have up his sleeve? And what brilliant tactics will he employ?

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing took a hard drive from the drawer without hesitation and handed it to Gao Yuliang.

It was Liu Qingzhu's account book.

Gao Yuliang understood that Xia Qing had given him an opportunity to showcase his abilities.

That being the case.

Let this final scheme be my farewell performance.

And, a perfect opportunity to express his stance to Xia Qing and the Xia family.

Time flew by, and almost three hours had passed since they started talking.

Gao Yuliang said goodbye to Xia Qing and left with the hard drive.

Xia Qing watched Gao Yuliang leave, knowing full well what was going on.

The duel with Gao Yuliang has come to an end.

Afterwards, Gao Yuliang will become his ally.

Let's take a look at what Gao Yuliang said, the final big gift.

Just how spectacular was it!

Of course, Xia Qing was no saint either.

He was certainly not foolish enough to completely trust Gao Yuliang, much less to let a tiger return to the mountain unprepared.

Xia Qing took out her phone and sent a text message.

Naturally, the instruction was to send Gao Xiaofeng to Jingzhou City, Handong Province, to reside in a place designated by Xia Qing.

Xia Qing will not place Gao Xiaofeng under house arrest, nor will she monitor Gao Xiaofeng.

Furthermore, they will provide Gao Xiaofeng and her son with the necessary living necessities, as well as the freedom to meet with Gao Yuliang at any time.

but.

If Gao Yuliang did something he shouldn't have done, or if he was thinking of taking Gao Xiaofeng away.

Xia Qing didn't mind letting Gao Yuliang experience once again what Zhao Lichun had done back then.

When Gao Yuliang presented his so-called grand gift and satisfied Xia Qing.

Xia Qing will then completely let Gao Xiaofeng and her son go.

This will also give Gao Yuliang a dignified ending.

This is to reward Gao Yuliang.

It can be said that Gao Xiaofeng and her son have gone from one danger to another.

Perhaps Xia Qing's behavior is no different from Zhao Lichun's.

But in this unpredictable environment.

Who would dare to be a fool, leaving no room for retreat and moving forward with only a sincere heart?

……

On this day, in the courtyard of a provincial government agency in Handong Province.

The breath of spring fills the earth.

A robust and handsome man, dressed in a jogging suit, stood under several trees and performed a set of rapid military-style boxing.

This drew cheers from the onlookers.

The man was enjoying himself when he heard a discordant voice from the crowd:

"What a disgrace! He's been demoted from deputy director of the anti-corruption bureau to a lowly deputy section chief here, and he's still acting so cocky..."

"Exactly, all they think about every day is solving cases. They've been with the Writers' Association for so long, but they haven't produced any good articles or discovered any good authors..."

"My ambitions are sky-high, but my fate is as fragile as paper! I'm off to work, time to get to work."

These harsh rumors and gossip took deep root in Hou Liangping's heart.

He was about to call out to them and argue with them.

But then he saw Vice Chairman Tang, who was in charge of his department, walk over with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Hello, Chairman Tang..."

Hou Liangping quickly greeted him.

"Sigh, Liangping... Now that you've joined the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, you need to adjust your mindset and adapt to your role as soon as possible..." Vice Chairman Tang shook his head and said:

"You spend all day practicing tai chi in the courtyard of the organization. To put it nicely, it's good for your health. To put it bluntly, it's not really in line with the working atmosphere of our literary and art federation."

Hou Liangping's face immediately burned like fire!

"You should really think about your future development. Don't embarrass your father-in-law... Sigh." Vice Chairman Tang walked away with his hands behind his back, sighing.

Only the laughing crowd remained, along with Hou Liangping, whose face was full of anger.

damn it.

If I hadn't been murdered, how could I have ended up in such a godforsaken place!

These days, my father-in-law and Xiao Ai have been ignoring me completely.

Only my brothers-in-law called and ridiculed me!

Damn it!

When did I, Hou Liangping, get to this point?

Hou Liangping gritted his teeth, then suddenly remembered someone.

He quickly returned to his office, didn't even change his clothes, and immediately dialed a number:

"Hello, Zhou Zheng? This is your brother Hou..."
