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

Chapter 73 Gao Yuliang's Operation

Hou Liangping felt as if he had been struck by lightning. It took him a long time to process the news, and he practically roared into his phone:

"What's going on! Who let him out! Who dares to do this? How dare they!"

Lin Huahua was already immune to Hou Liangping's extreme emotional outbursts, and said with a grin:

"This morning, the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission came in person and said that we detained Chen Qingquan without any evidence or procedures, and the relevant records and documents were incomplete. So we forcibly released Chen Qingquan. If you ask me, it's better that he was released. He's been bothering us with idle chatter every day, it's so annoying..."

Hou Liangping had a feeling that he was in prison and his wife had run off with someone else.

He said almost hysterically:

"No, bring him back! He has close ties with the Shanshui Group, and he was the one who orchestrated the verdict back then! We can't lose this lead!"

"Then Director Hou should call the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission himself. We don't have that kind of influence," Lin Huahua said jokingly.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Ji apologized to the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission again this morning. Lao Ji also said he wants to have a good heart-to-heart talk with you when you get back. Bye-bye, Director Hou, have a good study session!"

"Lin Huahua! You..." Hou Liangping hadn't finished speaking when he heard the busy tone on his phone.

He slumped helplessly onto the bed, his mind blank.

Chen Qingquan was released shortly after being subjected to forced training.

What else could this be but intentional?

The root of the problem lies with Gao Yuliang!

This old man is trying to get his former secretary out of trouble!

Still retaliating against himself!

Hou Liangping grew angrier the more he thought about it, but there was nothing he could do.

He then realized Gao Yuliang's absolute influence and control in Handong.

Hou Liangping had always thought that Gao Yuliang's abilities were just so-so.

Suppressed by Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu, he forced a smile at himself and Zhong Xiaoai.

Now it seems...

It's just that Gao Yuliang was constrained and unable to perform to his full potential.

This is the peak period when Gao Yuliang is truly demonstrating his strength.

He easily managed to mess things up for himself.

But Hou Liangping just couldn't understand one thing.

What exactly was the opportunity that freed Gao Yuliang from various constraints, allowing him to fully devote himself to the battle?

Could it be that the Zhao family is experiencing a second spring in their lives?

impossible!

Even if I had that chance, I, Hou Liangping, would still bring down the Zhao family.

Then, I will be the greatest contributor to the Zhong family!

Thinking of all this, Hou Liangping clenched his fists.

……

At the same time.

Office of Gao Yuliang in the Provincial Party Committee compound.

Gao Yuliang sat at the head of the desk, with Qi Tongwei standing respectfully beside him.

Before the two stood Chen Qingquan, who had just been released.

At this moment, Chen Qingquan was repeatedly thanking Gao Yuliang for his loyalty, expressing his utmost gratitude.

Gao Yuliang waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Qingquan, the reason you were able to get out this time wasn't because I helped you with anything, but because the procedures weren't followed properly. In the end, it was their oversight that allowed you to escape punishment. You must learn from this lesson."

Chen Qingquan nodded vigorously and said:

"I know, old boss! I've embarrassed you and caused you trouble! I promise, it won't happen again..."

Gao Yuliang raised his hand to signal Chen Qingquan to stop talking, then took a sip of tea and slowly asked:

"I called you here because I have something to ask you. What exactly happened with the equity judgment regarding the Dafeng Factory in Guangming District?"

Chen Qingquan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Qi Tongwei behind Gao Yuliang.

Qi Tongwei nodded vigorously.

Chen Qingquan then sighed and said:

"Senior leader, let me report the details to you..."

Chen Qingquan recounted the entire judgment process from that year to Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang listened attentively, pondered for a moment, and then asked the key question:

"The whole verdict is actually quite reasonable. Now I'm asking you, where is the most serious problem? You'd better tell me the truth."

Chen Qingquan lowered his head, his voice barely audible:

"One loophole was exploited. According to the principle that forfeiture clauses are invalid, the equity cannot be awarded to Shanshui Group as collateral. But back then, I arranged for my judges to use a simplified procedure to circumvent this issue..."

Gao Yuliang nodded, and said with satisfaction:

"It's good that you didn't hide anything. I've already heard about this. The workers at Dafeng Factory have been taken care of, and only the shareholders remain. If they insist that the liquid clause is invalid, they will face the predicament of starting everything over from scratch, which goes against the shareholders' goal of making a quick buck. I don't think they will bring this up again."

What Gao Yuliang didn't say was that Xia Qing had already told him about these things.

Gao Yuliang had heard Xia Qing talk about everything, including Chen Yanshi's questioning of the invalidity of the liquid clause and Xia Qing's clever separation of shareholders and workers, and he greatly admired Xia Qing.

Given the current situation, the shareholders will certainly not bring up the forfeiture clause again.

But that's not what Gao Yuliang wanted to hear.

He wanted to find some intelligence from Chen Qingquan.

To avoid being kept in the dark and allowing those connected to you to act recklessly under your name.

That would be far too passive.

Gao Yuliang continued to ask:

"Anything else?"

Chen Qingquan thought for a moment and said:

"Furthermore, the share pledge agreement signed by Cai Chenggong and Zheng Xipo back then didn't actually have the required number of signatories to be valid. Therefore, I and..."

At this point, Chen Qingquan paused and looked at Qi Tongwei.

Gao Yuliang turned to look at Qi Tongwei, who was awkwardly smiling, and said coldly:

"You say what you want."

"Okay, I discussed it with Director Qi and General Manager Gao, and we added a few names to the agreement they signed to meet the required number of names for validity. In a way, it's a semi-forged agreement..." Chen Qingquan said, recalling the events, then suddenly looked up and said seriously:

"But I guarantee that only the three of us know about this! Cai Chenggong, Zheng Xipo, and the other shareholders who signed the document assumed that we later found other shareholders to sign, so they didn't raise any objections..."

Gao Yuliang nodded. It seemed that this was the equity transfer agreement that Xia Qing had mentioned and that had been presented at the symposium.

It is said that it also underwent testing by the Provincial Public Security Bureau, proving that there were no signs of later forgery...

Wait, the Provincial Public Security Bureau?

Gao Yuliang immediately realized what was happening and turned around to glare fiercely at Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei quickly slipped aside to add tea leaves.

Gao Yuliang sighed and shook his head, saying:

"You lot, how many things have you done behind my back? If I hadn't asked, would you have kept it from me all this time?"

Qi Tongwei and Chen Qingquan said in unison:

"Absolutely not!"

"Alright, alright. Deal with what needs to be dealt with, and don't touch what shouldn't be touched. Otherwise, I'll be the first to make things difficult for you." After saying this, Gao Yuliang looked at Chen Qingquan and said with utmost seriousness:

"Watch your pants! You can't even resist something this small? It's shameful! Besides, the Jingzhou police's crackdowns on prostitution are so precise; there must be an undercover agent at Shanshui Manor! Don't go there again!"

Chen Qingquan quickly nodded and swore, while Qi Tongwei seemed to be deep in thought, as if recalling each suspicious person.

Just then, Chen Qingquan's eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something, and he said to Gao Yuliang:

"Old boss! I've got an idea, I have some very important intelligence!"

Gao Yuliang's expression hardened, he clasped his hands together, leaned forward, and smiled:

"explain."

"When we were judging the shareholding, I looked through the list of shareholders of Dafeng Factory," Chen Qingquan said with a sly smile.

"I kept a copy specifically; it contains information about a shareholder that you'll definitely find interesting."

A slight smile played at the corners of Gao Yuliang's lips as he said:

"Who?"

"Chen Yanshi, Chief Prosecutor of the Second Procuratorate of Handong Province."
