The Invincible Son-in-law

Although today is the weekend, since Secretary Li gave him the order yesterday to investigate the land demolition and compensation issues in Qingquan Town and Longwan Village, Yuan Zhiming, the secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, did not rest but instead presided over the review work at the commission.

"County Magistrate Lin, after our investigation and evidence collection, some leaders from the Qingquan Town government and Longwan Village have indeed embezzled the funds for land acquisition and demolition, and the amount is significant..."

"From the situation we currently understand and have in hand, the secretary and mayor of Qingquan Town, as well as the village secretary and director of Longwan Village, were involved..."

Yuan Zhiming began to report in detail.

Lin Hao's face instantly darkened upon hearing that someone actually dared to commit such audacious acts.

"Secretary Yuan, since there really is a corruption issue, then thoroughly investigate it to its conclusion, uncover the whole truth!" Lin Hao said in a grave tone.

"Rest assured, County Magistrate Lin, our entire commission is working overtime on the review, and we've already broken through some key points, guaranteeing the task will be completed," Yuan Zhiming replied loudly.

"Secretary Yuan, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Hao's tone softened a bit.

"County Magistrate Lin, you flatter us, aren't you also working overtime?" Yuan Zhiming asked with a smile.

"The County's High-Quality Trade Conference is about to be held, and I am currently organizing the invitation list. If there's any difficulty I can help with, feel free to ask," Lin Hao did not conceal.

Yuan Zhiming paused in silence, then timidly asked, "County Magistrate Lin, you surely know Mayor Tian of Qingquan Town, and the vice mayor Luo Zhijun, right?"

"Secretary Yuan, Mayor Tian was my former superior, later demoted to Qingquan Town because of inciting trouble. As for Vice Mayor Luo Zhijun, he was my brother-in-law, but was implicated in issues related to Shen Sihai. After the City Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation confirmed that Luo Zhijun was involved in embezzlement, bribery, and improper personal conduct, he was demoted to Qingquan Town..."

Lin Hao explained in detail: "After being demoted, Luo Zhijun has divorced his wife and has nothing to do with me. If he is involved, he must be severely punished!"

Initially, Yuan Zhiming was worried that such things would be difficult to speak about, given the unconventional relationships, but hearing Lin Hao say this, he understood.

In reality, neither Mayor Tian nor Luo Zhijun had any career advancement after being demoted. Their political careers in bureaucratic circles were completely blocked.

Therefore, they colluded in trying to deceive everyone, embezzling the land compensation funds from Longwan Village, hoping to make a fortune, but somehow the news leaked, leading to the villagers of Longwan Village petitioning.

After learning about the incident, Lin Hao reported it to Secretary Li Jingyi of the county committee, prompting Secretary Li to order the County Commission for Discipline Inspection to conduct a thorough investigation.

With the County Commission for Discipline Inspection's measures, once they received the order, they immediately detained Secretary Bao of Qingquan Town, Mayor Tian, Vice Mayor Luo Zhijun, as well as the village secretary and director of Longwan Village.

After last night's surprise review, they had gathered enough information by this morning to basically confirm that several town and village leaders conspired to swallow half of the demolition compensation funds.

However, this implicated Mayor Tian and Luo Zhijun, which is why Secretary Yuan tested Lin Hao's attitude.

Listening to Lin Hao's firm stance, Secretary Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "County Magistrate Lin, rest assured, our commission will not be lenient towards corrupt officials."

"Secretary Yuan, you have Secretary Li's authorization; no matter who is involved, follow the law," Lin Hao said solemnly.

"I understand!" Yuan Zhiming was overjoyed.

In reality, crows are black everywhere; is there any leader without blemishes?

When the County Commission for Discipline Inspection investigates corrupt officials, they must uncover the intentions of higher-ups and understand every official's background, to avoid enforcing law and discipline but offending superiors.

Sitting in his position, naturally, Yuan Zhiming is a wily old hand, which is why he sought Lin Hao's opinion—to avoid offending this influential figure.

Now that Lin Hao stands firmly on his side, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection can naturally proceed without holding back.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao listed the city government and municipal party committee leaders to be invited. Secretary Cao and Mayor Ma must be chosen between, and this decision must be made by Li Jingyi.

Of course, other experts, scholars, and various business community celebrities, as well as performing stars and singers, just need to be approved by Secretary Li.

The current issue is that some experts, scholars, and business personalities require Lin Hao to personally extend invitations to ensure success.

Lin Hao's idea is for Li Jingyi to review this list, and with municipal bureau leaders expected to visit for inspection next week, have the opportunity to travel the following week to invite these dignitaries.

How many people can ultimately be invited is currently uncertain, although if everything can be achieved through phone calls, that would be even better.

Once finished organizing, Lin Hao sent the list to Li Jingyi and dialed Secretary Li's number.

"Secretary Li, I've sent you the invitation list for the High-Quality Trade Conference; please review it. Should we invite Municipal Party Secretary Cao or Mayor Ma?"

"Definitely Secretary Cao. I've privately communicated with him, and he said he would personally come to support us." Li Jingyi responded with a smile.

"It's wonderful that Secretary Cao can come," Lin Hao was overjoyed.

"The High-Quality Trade Conference and the First New Energy Battery Conference are major events for our county's economic development. With Secretary Cao personally supporting us, you mustn't mess it up," Li Jingyi cautioned.

"Rest assured, Secretary Li, I guarantee the task will be completed," Lin Hao answered loudly.

"You little rascal, still working overtime?" Li Jingyi asked.

"Yes, there's so much to do. If I don't work overtime to settle current issues, next week's matters will pile up on me," Lin Hao said with a bitter face.

"City bureau leaders will be coming down for inspection next week. I'll have the list sent to you shortly—the reception might trouble you," Li Jingyi said.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the leaders," Although Lin Hao least liked reception work, he had no choice.

"County Magistrate Lin, here's some good news: the new city district's planning scheme has already been approved. I'll be calling a standing committee meeting next week to pass it, and by then, you will be fully responsible for the new district's construction," Li Jingyi laughed as she said.

Upon hearing about the approval of the new city planning scheme, Lin Hao was overjoyed, saying, "That's great, I can't wait to start building the new district."

"Hehehe... If we really build the new district, Wucheng County will soar. You must do your job well. In fact, Secretary Cao mentioned preparing to promote you to Deputy Secretary of the County Committee," Li Jingyi broke another piece of good news.

"What? Deputy Secretary of the County Committee?" Lin Hao exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the contributions you've made to Wucheng County have been noticed by the higher-ups, and naturally, you won't be treated unfairly," Li Jingyi said with a smile.
