Chapter 229 Xia Qing's Handling

Watching Liang Yuan and the others leave, Gao Yuliang calmly stood up and said:

"Alright, call everyone back and let's continue the meeting."

The team members standing nearby were shocked. Gao Yuliang's name was written in the ledger, but they never expected it to be through a trust fund. Not only did Gao Yuliang occupy a moral high ground, but he also defeated Liang Yuan, who was known for his "iron face". They couldn't help but admire Gao Yuliang even more.

Only Gao Yuliang remained calm, because he had expected everything.

Originally, Gao Yuliang intended to hand over the ledger containing his own problems to Hou Liangping.

Then, he went in with Zhao Lichun as atonement for betraying his old leader.

But Xia Qing doesn't think so.

Xia Qing was very satisfied with the three-way battleground set up by Gao Yuliang, but also somewhat wary.

From that moment on, I witnessed Gao Yuliang's strategic planning abilities.

Xia Qing made up her mind.

I can't let Gao Yuliang out of my sight.

Even entering Qin City is not allowed.

Gao Yuliang should stay in the area I have specially prepared for him, so that I can keep track of his movements at any time.

The reason is simple: Gao Yuliang's abilities are simply too amazing.

Xia Qing really didn't want this person to one day stand against her and cause her trouble.

Although Gao Yuliang and Xia Qing did have a brief conflict over the ledger incident.

But Xia Qing was able to win that time because she controlled Gao Xiaofeng.

This was also because Gao Yuliang had originally intended to ask Xia Qing to rescue Gao Xiaofeng, and he did not actually fight with Xia Qing.

Now, Xia Qing must keep a close eye on Gao Yuliang.

Therefore, those three hundred million must be dealt with.

A few days ago, Xia Qing personally visited Gao Xiaofeng and her son, who lived in Jingzhou City, and explained the implications to them.

To Xia Qing's surprise, Gao Xiaofeng had no interest in the three hundred million yuan. She also knew that this was a means for Shanshui Group and its behind-the-scenes manipulators to coerce Gao Yuliang.

Gao Xiaofeng didn't spend a single penny of this money; she kept it all.

She feared that this money would become the source of her hard-won happiness.

Upon hearing that Xia Qing was offering to help, Gao Xiaofeng was very grateful and readily handed over the money.

Xia Qing also asked:

"How do you feel about living here?"

This statement is both a test and a threat.

Gao Xiaofeng's answer surprised Xia Qing:

"Everything is fine here, thank you for your help. I often tell Yuliang that Minister Xia is a good person."

Xia Qing was very satisfied with this answer and gradually understood why Gao Yuliang would go to the trouble of keeping his marriage a secret for this woman.

And why would he be willing to be used by the Zhao family in order to protect this woman?

After receiving the 300 million yuan from Gao Xiaofeng, Xia Qing immediately donated the money through special channels.

It was just a few minor adjustments made at certain points in time.

And so, it turned out the way the investigation team found it.

This is for the Xia family.

It's a piece of cake.

When Gao Yuliang learned of Xia Qing's methods, he knew that apart from the secret marriage, he would have no other problems.

The matter can be said to be resolved.

Just now.

The phone rang.

It's Xia Qing.

Gao Yuliang walked out of the conference room and answered the phone.

"Secretary Yuliang, I heard that Liang Yuan and Hou Liangping just left the Political and Legal Affairs Commission? How did they fare? What did they gain?"

Xia Qing asked with a laugh on the other end of the phone.

"No. Thanks to you, they got nothing."

Gao Yuliang said calmly.

"Unfortunately, not only did your student not think about removing your name, but he even thought about climbing over you to get ahead."

Xia Qing said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone:

"Of course, this is the same assessment I made last year. Hou Liangping is willing to betray anyone for his own benefit."

Gao Yuliang sighed heavily.

Xia Qing had only met Hou Liangping once or twice at that time, yet she gave a very accurate assessment that seems remarkably accurate now.

I realized I had misjudged him.

Back then, he even wanted to marry his daughter to Hou Liangping.

Hou Liangping is now going further and further down the path of cutting himself off from Handong. If he were to marry his daughter, he would probably be destroyed even faster!

Therefore, Gao Yuliang said:

"Hou Liangping is indeed disappointing."

"The Zhong family will cut ties with him sooner or later," Xia Qing said, changing the subject on the phone.

"By the way, Secretary Yuliang, make sure you do your job well on your last shift. I've already made arrangements for you afterwards."

Gao Yuliang's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

But he quickly composed himself and sincerely said on the phone:

"Thank you for your concern, Minister Xia."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang stared out the window, lost in thought.

Xia Qing saved his political life and his family.

I feel a little bad for Teacher Wu.

Now, he has achieved his goal of getting closer to the Xia family.

However, once I boarded the Xia family's ship, there was no chance to disembark.

……

After leaving the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Liang Yuan and his entourage got into the car.

Hou Liangping sat in the passenger seat, constantly turning back to explain to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan remained silent.

Only after he had grown tired of hearing it did Liang Yuan rudely interrupt Hou Liangping, coldly saying:

"Hou Liangping, you've made us lose face. To put it bluntly, it's damaged our reputation."

Hou Liangping remained silent.

He was also puzzled as to how Gao Yuliang had managed to do it.

Those 300 million yuan were actually turned into donations.

He thought he could use this opportunity to take down Gao Yuliang and use him as a stepping stone to his own rise.

But who would have thought that this would be the result?

Hou Liangping clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with resentment.

Little did he know, Liang Yuan in the back row looked at him with a meaningful expression.

"Ryohei, now it's time for an all-out assault."

Liang Yuan seemed to have thought of something, softened his tone, and said:

"Aim to get rid of everyone on the ledger within a week. Especially Huilong Group and Shanshui Group... Liangping, we'll need your help a lot."

Hou Liangping nodded happily in agreement, unaware that he was about to be used as a pawn once again.

After failing to take down Gao Yuliang, Hou Liangping's behavior became increasingly radical.

Under his leadership, the investigation team took away all the officials listed in the ledgers.

The time has finally come to take action against Huilong Group, this tough nut to crack.

At the same time, Zhao Lichun's second counterattack also arrived on time.

While ensuring the destruction of enterprises and the business environment in Handong, a large number of processed reports concerning Sha Ruijin, Tian Guofu, and other members of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government were sent to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation team.

Liang Yuan had long anticipated Zhao Lichun's move and originally didn't want to pay attention to these so-called reports.

Even after seeing the content, Liang Yuan still cursed inwardly, "Old fox."

The whistleblower materials show that Sha Ruijin, Tian Guofu, and the officials recorded in the ledgers form a close-knit and intricate network.

Furthermore, evidence not found in the ledgers has emerged one by one.

Now, Liang Yuan had no choice but to take action.

After all, since it involves ledgers, who can guarantee that these whistleblower materials don't contain any truthful information?

Liang Yuan had no choice but to bring the materials he had submitted to report Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu for a talk.
