"Disciplinary Committee?"

Yang Kangji looked a bit confused, "Why is the Disciplinary Committee investigating me?"

"You're asking me? Who the hell should I ask?"

Director Huang cursed, "Early this morning, Secretary Wang told me that the Disciplinary Committee was coming to the National Development and Reform Commission to work, and the first department they were going to audit was yours."

"Tell me, what exactly have you done?"

"I didn't do anything!"

Yang Kangji was starting to panic. He couldn't figure out why the Disciplinary Committee would come to investigate him for no reason.

Director Huang gave him a deep look, "Yang Kangji, let me be upfront with you. If the Disciplinary Committee finds anything on you, don't drag others down with you."

"Director Huang, I really didn't do anything..."

"What's the use of telling me? Go tell the Disciplinary Committee!"

Director Huang said, "If the Disciplinary Committee is looking into you, they must have received a complaint, and let me tell you, there must be evidence of that complaint!"

"Director Huang, don't scare me..."

"I don't have the energy to scare you."

He waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, get on with your work. Whatever the Disciplinary Committee asks you to do, just cooperate."

"If you really have a problem, go to the Disciplinary Committee yourself and explain, try to seek leniency."

"The fact that the Disciplinary Committee didn't just grab you right away means the problem isn't too serious."

The more Director Huang spoke, the more frightened he became.

It sounded like he was about to be arrested.

Back in his office, Yang Kangji called a junior section chief, "Where are the Disciplinary Committee members?"

"Director Huang cleared out the office opposite the Policy Research Office for them to use," the junior section chief said.

"Have they called anyone over for questioning?"

"Yes," the junior section chief said, "they're calling people one by one, each for about twenty minutes."

Calling people one by one...

It was as if they were interrogating everyone.

He didn't know what exactly they were investigating.

"Alright, you can leave now."

Yang Kangji smoked a cigarette, feeling agitated.

Why did the Disciplinary Committee suddenly show up?

That's right, I should ask someone!

Ask Secretary Wang!

He found Wang Pinyan's number, "Hello, Secretary Wang, this is Yang Kangji from the National Development and Reform Commission. We've met before."

"What is it, Director Yang?"

"Secretary Wang, why did the Disciplinary Committee suddenly dispatch people to our commission? Is there some directive from the province?"

Usually, such deployments happen suddenly for disciplinary actions, or because some departments have been reported.

But they hadn't heard any prior warning.

Secretary Wang said, "The document was issued by the City Committee Office. We're just following the document. If you want to know the reason, call the City Committee Office directly."

Hearing Secretary Wang's indifferent tone, Yang Kangji felt a bit displeased.

But after all, he was a member of the Standing Committee, and as a deputy director, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, sorry to bother you, Secretary Wang."

Yang Kangji frowned.

It was a document from the City Government Office.

It didn't seem like it was a complaint.

If it were a complaint, it would have been reported directly to the Disciplinary Committee.

And the City Committee Office wouldn't have issued a document, they would have come directly to him with the complaint letter.

He felt that Director Huang was overthinking things.

Maybe they just happened to pick his department as the first to supervise.

A mere coincidence.

Yang Kangji thought that must be it.

He shook his head. Director Huang was worrying unnecessarily, thinking he had caused trouble.

However, in the afternoon, when he was still outside, he suddenly received a call from Director Huang.

"Director Huang..."

"Where the hell have you been?"

Director Huang's shouting almost shattered his eardrums.

"I'm outside..."

"Get your ass back here now!"

Director Huang's breathing was uneven, "Ma Legebi, Yang Kangji, you'd better think carefully about who the hell you've offended recently before you come back!"

With that, he hung up.

Yang Kangji was bewildered.

What's going on?

Who have I offended?

Why is Director Huang so angry?

What's happened?

Back at the National Development and Reform Commission, Yang Kangji nervously knocked on the door. As soon as he entered, he saw Director Huang sitting behind the desk with a dark expression.

He trembled nervously, "Director Huang, what's happened?"

He didn't dare to sit down, just stood in front of the desk.

This time Director Huang didn't scold him, "Who have you offended?"

"I haven't offended anyone..."

"If you haven't offended anyone, why is the Disciplinary Committee after you?"

"Didn't the City Committee Office order the Disciplinary Committee to come..."

"Idiot!" Director Huang couldn't help but curse, unwilling to explain the intricacies.

He threw the file on the desk toward him, "Look, see for yourself!"

Yang Kangji picked it up, glanced over it, and his pupils shrank instantly.

It was a document from the City Government Office!

The City Government Office had instructed the Audit Bureau to audit the National Development and Reform Commission's implementation of major policies related to Lingjiang.

And this was also under his jurisdiction.

If the Disciplinary Committee choosing his department first was a coincidence, then the Audit Bureau also targeting his department was definitely no coincidence!

Without a direct instruction from leadership, the Audit Bureau rarely audits a unit or department under its own name.

In most cases, they assist the Disciplinary Committee or the police...

When the Audit Bureau audits under its own name, it means there is a major problem!

This time, Yang Kangji was truly panicking.

The National Development and Reform Commission was the favored child of the City Government!

But this time, the document came directly from the City Government.

The key point was, as the favored child, the commission had no idea what was happening until they arrived.

There was a complete information breakdown!

"Director Huang, I really don't know anything about this."

Director Huang rubbed his forehead.

He didn't care about Yang Kangji's fate.

He was worried whether this issue would affect himself.

"Think carefully about who you might have offended in the past few months."

"No one, really no one! I swear!"

Director Huang knew him well; he was very perceptive and unlikely to offend people.

Occasional opportunities for profit-sharing were always evenly distributed.

But this was clearly someone trying to get him.

Furthermore, having both the Disciplinary Committee and the Audit Bureau involved was not a typical conflict.

Director Huang called out, "Xiao Zhu, come in!"

Secretary Xiao Zhu pushed the door open, "Director Huang, you called?"

"Invite Director Xie over."

"Okay."

In a short while, Director Xie from the Audit Bureau arrived.

Today he had personally led the team, planning to arrange the work and leave shortly, but had been summoned by Director Huang.

Director Xie glanced at the pale-faced Yang Kangji, then looked at Director Huang, roughly guessing why he had been summoned.

"Director Xie, please have a seat."

Director Huang smiled and greeted him, "Director Yang, pour a cup of tea."

"Yes, okay."

Yang Kangji busily made a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Director Yang."

"You're welcome, it's my duty."

Director Huang asked, "Director Xie, allow me to ask, why did the city suddenly send the Audit Bureau here?"

Director Xie acted as if he didn't hear, blowing on the hot tea, not speaking for a while.

Although the two were anxious, they didn't dare to urge him.

It wasn't until the tea had cooled somewhat that Director Xie took a sip and put the cup down.

He glanced at Yang Kangji and leisurely said, "Director Yang has offended someone."

Yang Kangji hurriedly asked, "Please, Director Xie, show me the way."

Director Xie clicked his tongue, "Director Yang, don't you know who you've offended?"

Yang Kangji forced a smile, "I truly don't know."

Director Xie chuckled, unclear whether he was laughing at his foolishness or something else.

Then he said a name, "Secretary Song."
