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

Chapter 136 Declaration of War

Zhu Zhichao's proposal to audit Huilong Group was unanimously approved at the Standing Committee meeting.

During the meeting, Xia Qing made a point of observing the situation.

Gao Yuliang did not object; he simply sat quietly.

But Xia Qing knew that if a thorough investigation were to be carried out, Gao Yuliang would inevitably be implicated.

Qi Tongwei has been exonerated, but Gao Yuliang cannot.

The Zhao family will not let him go.

If Gao Yuliang really wants to investigate thoroughly, he should be prepared for the worst.

Or does Gao Yuliang have some backup plan?

Xia Qing decided to wait and see for the time being, since a comprehensive anti-corruption campaign was not the responsibility of the Organization Department.

Rather, this situation is more in line with Xia Qing's thinking.

Grasp the overall situation and strike after the enemy has acted.

Only after you have a clearer understanding of everything can you make a decision.

After the meeting, Gao Yuliang went to Xia Qing's side.

Xia Qing thought that Gao Yuliang was going to talk about anti-corruption and auditing.

To everyone's surprise, Gao Yuliang's expression was very serious, and he whispered to Xia Qing:

"Xia Qing, I need to remind you, you must remember what I'm about to say."

Xia Qing was somewhat surprised. Seeing Gao Yuliang's expression, it seemed that something serious was about to happen, so she also said seriously:

"Secretary Yuliang, please give me your guidance."

Gao Yuliang nodded and said very seriously:

"The deputy director of the Luzhou Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources is someone from your department, right? Instruct him to keep a complete record of everything related to the eco-resort during this period. If anything is missing, make sure to fill it in immediately. Not a single detail can be overlooked."

Xia Qing was speechless. Wasn't the eco-resort a project that Sha Ruijin was pushing behind the scenes?

Even Lüzhou City has established a special project team.

Why are you reminding Kang Le to keep good records at this time?

But Gao Yuliang was clearly unwilling to say more, so Xia Qing said:

"Thank you for the reminder, Secretary Yuliang. Taking good notes is his duty, and I will convey your concern to you."

Gao Yuliang nodded and left.

Xia Qing also returned to the office.

A few days later, an audit team led by Auditor General Ling Jiang entered Huilong Group to retrieve accounts and cash flow records for the past five years.

This action signaled the official start of the province's offensive against the Zhao family!

After the audit of Huilong Group began.

The procuratorate and the audit department received immediate assistance from the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Public Security Department.

This is Qi Tongwei's attitude towards Zhu Zhichao.

This experience of working together to handle cases reminded everyone of the investigation of officials a few months ago, which was led by the Organization Department.

At present, they are all pretty much the same.

After several days of hard work, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the relevant work.

The various funds flowing into Huilong Group were purported to be for consulting fees, investments, and transactions.

Since Huilong Group is engaged in cross-border trade, its business is complex and diverse, making it suitable for attracting funds under various pretexts.

Among these contents, Chen Hai discovered several extremely sensitive business areas.

Film and television production, art trading.

These matters involve huge sums of money and can attract funds, but the specific amount is entirely up to them.

After receiving the audit report, Chen Hai immediately arranged to trace the inflow of funds into Huilong Group and the outflow of funds from Oil and Gas Group and Shanshui Group along the timeline.

turn out.

These funds, after being transferred through the oil and gas and mountain and water groups to offshore shell companies, were subsequently transferred and separated in several rounds.

The timeline coincides perfectly with the capital inflow into Huilong Group!

This discovery greatly excited Chen Hai!

Therefore, he reported to Zhu Zhichao again.

But before that, Chen Hai thought one step further.

Such a large-scale operation, relying solely on these few companies operating privately, certainly cannot proceed smoothly.

There must have been involvement of cadres from Handong!

Be prepared to pull out mud along with the radish!

Therefore, Chen Hai first went to the Organization Department to report to Xia Qing.

When Chen Hai expressed that if the investigation continued, the disciplinary committee would likely need to intervene and investigate the officials involved as well.

Xia Qing immediately made the decision:

"Chen Hai, you report everything, that's excellent! I strongly agree with this! The involvement of the Discipline Inspection Commission is of paramount importance. Once a problematic cadre is discovered, no matter who is involved, our Organization Department will be the first to not let them off the hook!"

With Xia Qing's approval, Chen Hai then gave a work report to Zhu Zhichao.

After a moment's thought, Zhu Zhichao agreed to personally communicate with Tian Guofu and ask the Discipline Inspection Commission to participate.

After communicating with Zhu Zhichao, Tian Guofu did not dare to delay and immediately went to see Sha Ruijin to report Zhu Zhichao's idea.

After careful consideration, Sha Ruijin came to a hypothesis.

This is true of Handong.

The same is probably true for other provinces.

Since we're going to investigate this time, let's investigate thoroughly, make a big splash, and make a big show of it.

We must produce satisfactory results.

This result can then be reported to the central government as a strong basis for decision-making.

We must start from a point and expand outwards, creating a breakthrough in Handong and extending it nationwide.

Investigate other provinces and regions thoroughly for similar cases of financial crimes, embezzlement of state-owned assets, and collusion between officials and businessmen.

A nationwide special operation has been launched!

Wouldn't that be a great achievement for Sha Ruijin?

Therefore, Sha Ruijin immediately made the decision.

The Discipline Inspection Commission also participated.

With continuously expanded resources, the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Audit Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, and the Procuratorate once again joined forces to carry out a special operation.

This may be the effect that Sha Ruijin wanted to achieve by proposing a comprehensive anti-corruption campaign!

……

Inside a private club abroad, the room is warm and cozy.

Zhao Ruilong, dressed in a bathrobe, was enjoying a massage spa and being fed fruit by exotic girls.

Directly in front, two young women were performing a lively dance.

Zhao Ruilong felt that this kind of life was heaven on earth!

Just as Zhao Ruilong was immersed in the gentle embrace, with one hand around the slender waist of the beautiful woman, his mind wandering.

The phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Zhao Ruilong cursed "bad luck," pushed the girl aside, and answered his phone.

An anxious voice came from over there:

"Mr. Zhao, you finally answered the phone!"

Zhao Ruilong said impatiently:

"What do you mean 'finally'? I'm on vacation abroad, spit it out!"

The financial manager of Huilong Group immediately reported to Zhao Ruilong that Auditor General Ling Jiang had personally led a team to Huilong Group to conduct a comprehensive audit and retrieve accounts from the past five years.

Hearing this, Zhao Ruilong broke out in a cold sweat. He kicked the foot bath tub, which was covered in flowers and milk, and cursed loudly:

"You idiot! Why didn't you tell me about something this important sooner!"

The finance manager was almost in tears:

"Mr. Zhao, I can't get through to you on the phone!"

"Fuck you, tell everyone to hold the line! I'm heading back to China right now!" Zhao Ruilong cursed as he put on his shoes and stood up, his mind a complete mess!

He thought that if he kept Liu Xinjian silent and left some clues for the anti-corruption bureau so they could arrest him and get their report, the matter would be over.

Who would have thought that this matter would escalate to such an extent, and that Handong's attitude would be so resolute, abandoning its usual secretive approach and going directly to Huilong Group's headquarters to declare war on the Zhao family!

When the old man was still alive, Zhao Ruilong became somewhat complacent and did not strictly manage the accounts of Huilong Group.

After all, no one dares to investigate.

Now that the Audit Office has personally intervened, Zhao Ruilong is completely panicked!

Those accounts can't be audited!

They're all trash! Completely useless!

Zhao Ruilong paced back and forth in the room, irritable. He couldn't understand why his subordinates couldn't even handle such a simple matter. Why were they allowed to enter the audit office?

Why didn't Gao Yuliang lend a hand?

Just as Zhao Ruilong was about to take out his phone to arrange flight tickets, a beautiful woman from abroad pressed herself against him, her eyes alluring and her breath sweet as orchids, and said:

"Young Master Zhao, tonight is still a long night, perhaps..."

Zhao Ruilong kicked the beautiful woman away and roared:

"I want your mother's head!!!"
