Liu Yi seemed to have anticipated Cui Liansheng's doubts early on.

He directly tossed a document with a red header in front of him.

Saying, "Read it first, and then we'll talk."

Cui Liansheng picked up the document, and after just glancing at it, he opened his mouth wide and asked, "Chen Fang actually gave all the credit to you two?"

What's in this red-headed document?

It is a commendation document jointly issued by the Jiuhe Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, and the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee.

The document highly praises the leadership of Shangqing City's Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, especially under the leadership of City Secretary Tang Guozheng and Mayor Liu Yi, in breaking the largest corruption case in Shangqing City's history in over a decade.

Once the case is closed.

The Provincial Publicity Department even plans to commend the anti-corruption resolve demonstrated by Tang Guozheng and Liu Yi throughout the entire province.

With such a red-headed document.

Regardless of whether it's Tang Guozheng or Liu Yi, how would they respond?

Could it be that they would say this case is unrelated to us, and we won't accept this commendation?

That's impossible.

After all, it's such a significant honor; refusing would be foolish.

So how did this red-headed document come about?

Of course, it was Cen Qingmin from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee who pushed for it.

After all, such a large case, not just in Shangqing City, even in Jiuhe Province, is considered a major case, so a commendation is certainly not out of line.

After reading the document.

Cui Liansheng didn't need to ask anymore.

He took a deep breath.

Saying, "Chen Fang's strategy is quite cunning. This way, you and Secretary Tang have no way to challenge him."

Liu Yi nodded.

Saying, "From this perspective, Chen Fang, although young, is really quite capable in his actions."

Upon hearing the words "capable,".

Cui Liansheng shuddered.

He suddenly looked at Liu Yi.

Observing him read and reread the red-headed document, a trace of smugness remained on his face.

Clearly, gaining such honor for free, his mood was quite good.

At this moment, he also felt a bit worried.

Chen Fang's strategy is absolute; he asked for nothing yet simultaneously pleased both Tang Guozheng and Liu Yi, a situation becoming increasingly unfavorable.

Liu Yi was quite exhilarated.

No matter what was said, he was unlikely to heed it.

Thinking this, Cui Liansheng found an excuse to leave.

Returning to his office, he was somewhat disheartened.

At this moment, a knock sounded at the door.

"Who is it?"

He responded loudly.

The secretary pushed open the door, saying, "Leader, Sun Jinan from the Disciplinary Committee is here, she says she has something to discuss with you."

"Sun Jinan?"

Cui Liansheng was taken aback.

He searched his mind before matching the name to her identity.

Frowning, he thought, what's Sun Jinan's purpose in coming to see him now? They never had much private contact.

But since she was here.

He still had to meet her.

Cui Liansheng waved his hand, saying, "Let her in."

A minute later, the round-built Sun Jinan walked into Cui Liansheng's office.

Upon entering, she respectfully bowed slightly, greeting, "Hello, Secretary Cui."

"Oh, it's Comrade Sun from the Disciplinary Committee, sit down, please sit!"

After Sun Jinan sat down.

Cui Liansheng also sat opposite her.

After ordering his secretary to serve tea and completing other series of actions.

Sun Jinan wrung her hands, looking hesitant and holding back words.

Cui Liansheng, a veteran, spotted the clue at once; after commanding the secretary to leave, he said, "Comrade Sun, did you come here to report some work?"

Sun Jinan glanced around the room.

Saying, "Leader, indeed there's something I need to report."

"Go ahead, I'm listening..."

"Leader, regarding Guangshou County, I presume you've heard already?"

"Yes, just finished a meeting."

Cui Liansheng casually replied.

Sun Jinan nodded slightly, tentatively asking, "Secretary Chen's execution of this case was outstanding, making the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Committee proud, but I'm curious about your view on this matter?"

View?

Cui Liansheng was puzzled.

He couldn't quite grasp Sun Jinan's intent behind posing this question.

"Well, Chen Fang's handling of this case was indeed good, but from the City Committee and Municipal Government side, there are some dissonant sounds; overall, the action is commendable, but the process had minor flaws."

Cui Liansheng, a sly old fox.

Of course, wouldn't easily reveal his thoughts.

But he thought, if Sun Jinan were smart, she should discern his attitude from his scattered words.

Sun Jinan nodded faintly.

Saying, "Yes, yes, the leader is right, I received some intelligence here, but I'm unsure of its intricacies, thus I seek your guidance..."

Such words instantly piqued Cui Liansheng's interest.

Leaning forward, he asked, "Oh? Speak up, Comrade Sun."

"Leader, then I'll be straightforward, Baizhang Town's Party Secretary Lou Youhua, these years embezzled and took bribes in a large sum, Secretary Chen also successfully apprehended him, but one person managed to escape during the capture..."

"Who?"

Cui Liansheng asked.

"Lou Youhua's son, Lou Yu."

Sun Jinan articulated clearly.

Upon hearing this, Cui Liansheng seemed to have a foreboding.

Asked, "Explain specifically."

Sun Jinan nodded.

Saying, "This Lou Yu, 26 years old this year, long serving as deputy general manager at Baizhang Mountain Tourism Development Company, when Secretary Chen took action, Lou Yu wasn't in Baizhang Town but in the city, hence was missed, and when the inspection team wanted to apprehend, Lou Yu already hid away, this Lou Yu is a classic playboy of remarkable depravity comparable to Lou Youhua, once Lou Youhua was caught, Lou Yu's financial support was cut off, surely he is now filled with hatred towards Secretary Chen..."

With this final sentence.

Cui Liansheng finally understood Sun Jinan's intention.

After all this time, Sun Jinan turned out to be on the same front as him.

After a pause, he asked, "Comrade Sun, since Lou Yu is hiding away..."

The rest didn't directly exit Cui Liansheng's mouth.

Being a leader, some sensitive words shouldn't be spoken by himself, must require subordinates to articulate them; at critical moments, such minute details might indeed be life-saving.

Sun Jinan smiled gently.

Saying, "Candidly, Leader, I know a female friend who has been Lou Yu's woman for a long while, and since Lou Youhua's imprisonment, his properties can no longer be used; he hides in my friend's place..."

"Comrade Sun does not plan to hand over Lou Yu?"

After a moment of silence.

Cui Liansheng touched upon the key point.

Reaching this stage, Sun Jinan didn't need any more concealment.

She took a deep breath, saying, "Leader, let me be frank, I believe Lou Yu can still be of some use to you; hence, I plan to offer him to you, as for arrangements, it's for you to decide..."
