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

Chapter 87 Getting Involved

List?

This is the most crucial evidence!

Xia Qing asked:

"Is the list hidden in the real estate agency? Are you sure?"

Chen Hai said confidently:

"It's a sure thing. Based on the testimonies of these officials who had contact with the agency, combined with the investigations by the public security and national security departments, it's highly likely that the information was hidden on the company's computer."

Xia Qing pondered for a moment, then said:

"Okay, invite Director Qi and the comrade in charge of national security over. We'll have a short meeting to discuss the list."

Soon, Xia Qing led the three of them to her office to discuss how to obtain the list.

First, the authenticity of the list can be verified, and the feasibility is extremely high.

Obtaining the list means obtaining all the evidence.

Qi Tongwei was very confident, believing that the Public Security Bureau could easily control the brokerage company and find the list. The key was that there was no conclusive evidence yet that the brokerage company was in contact with foreign forces, which prevented the Public Security Bureau from taking action.

The National Security Bureau believes that the brokerage company deliberately concealed all clues and cut off contact with foreign forces precisely because of the highly tense situation. If the investigation continues in this manner, they will not be able to find any clues about them.

This creates a vicious cycle.

Without checking the list, there is no evidence.

Without evidence, we can't take action against the brokerage firm.

Silence fell over the office.

After a long while, Xia Qing suddenly had an idea.

He believes that both the investigation team and the brokerage firm are in a state of high tension.

The investigation team was eager to find loopholes and advance the case.

Knowing they were being targeted, the brokerage firm was probably thinking of moving the list and other evidence.

The agency certainly wouldn't want to get rid of these things; they'd have to transfer them.

What we need to do now is to lure them into moving these things on their own initiative, and then strike quickly to catch them red-handed.

After Xia Qing expressed her opinion.

The other three were amazed by Xia Qing's boldness, but all felt it was somewhat risky.

Regardless of whether things will unfold as Xia Qing envisioned.

If the Provincial Public Security Department acts rashly without having solid evidence and fails to find anything useful, then it is the Public Security Department's fault.

Holding those responsible accountable will likely cause a very negative social reaction.

Xia Qing encouraged him:

"That's how opportunities arise; sometimes you have to take a gamble. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility."

The group fell silent, each pondering Xia Qing's words.

Chen Hai spoke first:

"If we can really catch them... how can we get them to move the list and other evidence on their own? In the current situation, they'd rather stay put and not make a move."

Xia Qing smiled confidently:

"Why not give them the illusion that the crisis is over, making them think this is their only chance to escape?

The comrade from the National Security Bureau thought for a moment and nodded in agreement:

"Minister Xia means that if we pretend to give up the investigation and let them lower their guard, they will take advantage of this gap to make a transfer?"

"Yes, but if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way," Xia Qing said.

"A public document was issued stating that the special operation to investigate officials, corrupt officials, and foreign forces was forced to be brought to an early conclusion due to certain pressures. At the same time, you sent people out to spread the word that Xia Qing, the Organization Minister, could not withstand the pressure of public opinion and, after talking with the organization, decided to terminate his work and accept an investigation into whether he was a 'naked official' (an official whose family members have emigrated abroad)."

Upon hearing this, the three of them widened their eyes in astonishment!

Xia Qing intends to use the smear campaign in the media to lull his opponents into a false sense of security!

Truly a master of skill and daring!

The comrades from the National Security Bureau were the first to understand this logic, and they were so excited that their breathing became rapid as they said:

"It's feasible! Minister Xia's method is logically sound and very ingenious!"

Chen Hai nodded and said:

"I agree with this approach, but Minister Xia may face some... well, even more criticism in the short term..."

Xia Qing shook his head nonchalantly and said:

"Our opponents are cunning foreign forces and their lackeys. They are quite familiar with Handong, and the brokerage company has no idea how they have infiltrated Handong. Conventional methods are naturally not going to work. If we can bring these enemies of the people to justice, my verbal grievances are nothing to worry about."

The other three looked at each other, all of them persuaded by Xia Qing.

After much discussion, the four of them reached a conclusion.

A document was issued in the name of the Organization Department to terminate the special investigation into the three types of officials and to disband the investigation team. The Organization Department will handle the follow-up actions regarding the officials already identified.

They denied the existence of foreign forces and claimed that everything was fabricated by officials with family members residing abroad to downplay the seriousness of the situation.

All police forces deployed near the Bozhong Real Estate Agency were withdrawn, and all investigations were halted.

These are the ones that are out in the open.

Secretly, they sent people out to spread rumors that Xia Qing, the provincial organization minister, was a serious suspect of being a "naked official" (an official whose family members have emigrated overseas).

As a result, Xia Qing was suspended from work and placed under investigation.

This is also the reason why the investigation team terminated its work.

Once this intelligence is released, the two lines, one overt and one covert, form a complete logical chain.

Xia Qing, the organization minister who investigated officials whose spouses and children have emigrated, was himself an official whose spouses and children have emigrated.

After being investigated by the provincial authorities, the investigation into the three officials was immediately terminated.

In this way...

This is indeed the perfect opportunity for the opponent to act and transfer evidence!

After the discussion, the comrades from the National Security Bureau didn't have much of an opinion.

Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai were still somewhat hesitant.

With Xia Qing's strong insistence, the group decided to do it this way.

Before leaving, Xia Qing gave the following instructions:

"Once the plan begins, we must seize the opportunity precisely. The specific timing will be left to Director Qi to determine."

Qi Tongwei felt a surge of pressure and responsibility, and saluted:

"clear!"

……

Just as Xia Qing was making arrangements for the work.

Luzhou Crescent Lake, an eco-resort project.

It also received a green light all the way and was launched at lightning speed.

Logically speaking, such a large-scale commercial project should take at least half a year to complete all the procedures.

The process for establishing the eco-resort took less than half a month.

Everyone was amazed by the high efficiency of the Luzhou authorities.

At the same time, everyone was well aware of the fact that this project had received the green light all the way.

The provincial government's arrangement.

It's like an invisible giant hand forcefully pressing down on Luzhou City.

Each approval process is completed efficiently.

Hearing that it was an instruction from the provincial government, the approval departments at all levels in Luzhou City naturally dared not neglect it.

The most outrageous thing is that in one day, three departments simultaneously approved the procedures they were responsible for.

Their efficiency in handling affairs has reached an unbelievable level!

Sha Ruijin sat in his office, learning about the progress of the eco-resort project in Luzhou City through Secretary Bai.

When he learned that it was extremely efficient and processed at lightning speed.

Sha Ruijin couldn't help but feel a little smug.

He believes that Luzhou City's emphasis on eco-resorts reflects the attitude that he, as the provincial party secretary, should have.

He still enjoys a high level of prestige in various cities and prefectures in Handong.

It seems that as long as I'm willing, I can be quite adept at managing the economy!

Sha Ruijin is already immersed in the prospect of the enormous social impact this large-scale commercial and cultural tourism project will have once it is officially launched.

In the future, Luzhou Ecological Resort will be added to my list of achievements in promoting economic development!

Sha Ruijin was in a very good mood and couldn't help but hum a soft hum.

But he seems to have overlooked one fact.

The relaxed attitude of all levels of government and departments in Lüzhou City towards new projects.

It's not because Sha Ruijin is particularly good at managing the economy or knows how to allocate industries.

It was simply a project that the provincial party secretary wanted to promote.
