Chapter 108 The Great Dao and the Abyss

Does Chen Yanshi hold shares?

Should I investigate this myself?

Qi Tongwei's brain was working at lightning speed.

He recalled that Gao Yuliang had indeed told him that during the democratic life meeting, the intelligence about Chen Yanshi's shareholding was used as a weapon to severely damage Sha Ruijin.

This was also one of the direct factors that led to Sha Ruijin's hospitalization for treatment.

The problem now is the intelligence regarding Chen Yanshi's shareholding in Dafeng Factory.

It was Chen Qingquan, who was in charge of judging the case back then, who revealed this to Gao Yuliang and himself.

The source of this intelligence certainly cannot be truthfully reported to Sha Ruijin.

Moreover, why did Sha Ruijin ask him to investigate?

Why can't it be given to Tian Guofu or Ji Changming?

The Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate are better positioned to investigate, and it's more plausible for them to do so, right?

Is it...

Is Sha Ruijin implying that he knows about his connection with the Shanshui Group?

He believed that he could use the Shanshui Group to investigate the Dafeng Factory equity case and then find out whether Chen Yanshi held any shares.

The logic is sound, but...

Sha Ruijin's behavior cannot be understood in such a simple way.

It's very likely that he's targeting himself.

What should I do?

Qi Tongwei's thoughts became increasingly complicated, and his mind became more and more confused.

This is a chronic problem he's had for many years.

I like to think things through deeply, but that also leads me into confusion.

This is the difference between Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang thinks deeply, but he doesn't overthink things.

Perhaps it was due to their shared experiences.

Gao Yuliang believes that thinking about what needs to be thought about is enough.

Qi Tongwei, on the other hand, learned from years of painful experiences that he should think things through more carefully.

Therefore, in the face of Sha Ruijin's arrangements.

Besides the unexpected turn of events, Qi Tongwei felt mostly lost.

He asked:

"Secretary Sha, I have a question that I'm not sure I'm asking. Why not arrange for the Discipline Inspection Commission or the Procuratorate to investigate? They should be better at it."

Sha Ruijin said with a wry smile:

"Tongwei, Old Chen... after all, he was my adoptive father."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei suddenly realized what was going on.

Everyone knows that Chen Yanshi is Secretary Sha's adoptive father.

As the saying goes, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public."

Entrusting this matter to me is the most direct form of trust, isn't it?

In addition, Qi Tongwei already had a very bad impression of Chen Yanshi.

Since it's Secretary Sha who wants to investigate, then let him investigate.

The task of the executive secretary is also to do their job well.

Qi Tongwei no longer hesitated and readily accepted Sha Ruijin's arrangement.

After chatting for a while longer, Qi Tongwei got up to say goodbye.

Sha Ruijin instructed:

"Tongwei, regarding the shareholding issue, keep the scope of knowledge to a minimum."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening.

This was to prevent myself from telling Gao Yuliang and Xia Qing.

Qi Tongwei bid farewell to Sha Ruijin with a heavy heart.

After Qi Tongwei left, Sha Ruijin's previous smile vanished.

The reason he didn't go through the disciplinary committee and the procuratorate to investigate was purely out of distrust.

This is my first day at the sanatorium, following the democratic life meeting.

Sha Ruijin learned about the situation through his own people planted in the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate.

It was learned that the Discipline Inspection Commission had obtained information about Chen Yanshi's shareholding as early as two months ago and reported it to Tian Guofu.

However, Tian Guofu did not report the truth to Sha Ruijin, but chose to suppress it.

Now look what's happened. The intelligence somehow ended up in Gao Yuliang's hands and has become a key weapon in his counterattack.

This is highly suspicious.

Why didn't Tian Guofu report it? What did he know? What was he planning to do?

How did Gao Yuliang find out? Who leaked the information to him?

And most importantly.

Did Chen Yanshi actually hold any shares?

There weren't many units that could investigate this matter, but Sha Ruijin felt he couldn't trust the Discipline Inspection Commission.

After all, Tian Guofu had blocked the news, and even the people that Sha Ruijin had arranged only just found out about the situation.

As for the procuratorate, it's even more inconvenient.

Chen Yanshi is a retired leader from the procuratorial system.

Chen Hai is his own son, how could he possibly help investigate his own father?

There was no other choice but to choose Qi Tongwei.

Even so, Sha Ruijin, leaning against the bed, was filled with mixed feelings.

Chen Yanshi holds shares.

This is a very serious problem.

Would that upright and righteous old man really do such a thing?

Sha Ruijin refused to believe it.

But I had no choice but to issue it.

However, if it is eventually found out that Chen Yanshi really did hold shares.

How should I handle this?

How should we face this adoptive father?

Qi Tongwei left the sanatorium and sat in the car.

He stared intently at the scenery outside the car window with a serious expression.

In just one democratic life meeting, Sha Ruijin's attitude towards himself has undergone a tremendous change.

He even entrusted himself with the task of investigating Chen Yanshi's shareholding.

However, it also implied that she should not reveal this to Gao Yuliang and Xia Qing.

What do these situations illustrate?

Is the situation in Handong about to change again?

Does Secretary Sha want to treat me like one of his own?

Should I really investigate Chen Yanshi privately without telling Teacher Gao and Minister Xia?

Qi Tongwei's mind was in turmoil, but he could still see a path shrouded in mist amidst the chaos.

As long as we dispel the fog, we can move forward.

I will truly embark on a broad and prosperous road!

Further progress is just around the corner!

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei clenched his fists in secret.

……

Meanwhile, at the Zhao residence.

Enraged, Zhao Ruilong kicked the man in front of him in the stomach.

Despite the severe blow to the abdomen, which caused her legs to buckle, she maintained her dignity, clutching her stomach and stubbornly refusing to fall.

He didn't speak, but stared at Zhao Ruilong with bloodshot eyes.

Seeing Cheng Du like this, Zhao Ruilong became even angrier, stepped forward and kicked Cheng Du in the shoulder again, angrily saying:

"Chengdu, don't think I don't know. Back when we were investigating Du Bozhong's company, wasn't it you who gave Qi Tongwei all that evidence I had? I'm telling you, what the hell were you thinking? You gave all that stuff to Qi Tongwei, and he's off the boat now, but what about you? Aren't you still just a dog of the Zhao family?!"

Cheng Du forced himself to stand up, but still didn't say anything.

"I really didn't expect that after going to Qi Tongwei's place, I would actually treat him like an older brother?"

Zhao Ruilong slammed his fist on Cheng Du's temple and cursed:

"He's the Director of the Public Security Bureau, and with Gao Yuliang protecting him, that's why he has the right to say a few words to me! Who do you think you are, a mere section-level cadre, trying to find a new patron like Qi Tongwei? Let me tell you, no way!"

Even after being so humiliated, Cheng Du simply lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Brother Long... I'll listen to you."

Zhao Ruilong paced back and forth in the room, then walked up to Cheng Du, placed his hands on the latter's shoulders, and revealed a practiced, sinister smile, saying:

"Director Cheng, since you've put it that way, I'll leave it at that for now. Now, there's only one thing you need to do..."

Zhao Ruilong paused, then said in a deep voice:

"Gao Xiaoqin's account book."

Cheng Du bowed deeply and said:

"Understood, I guarantee it will be completed."

Zhao Ruilong's anger subsided considerably, and as if remembering something, he leaned close to Cheng Du's ear and slowly said:

"Don't think about things you shouldn't. If you have to blame someone, blame fate. Remember, you're different from Qi Tongwei. He was able to get off the ship because he could handle the problems, but you..."

Zhao Ruilong held up three fingers and said:

"Three."

Du Cheng's pupils widened, and his eyes sharpened.

Then, he returned to normal and whispered:

"Yes, Brother Long, I understand."
