Chapter 224 Teacher Wu angrily rebuked: Gao Yuliang, you are a disgusting remnant of feudalism!
The sound of Sha Ruijin's leather shoes disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
The dull thud of the door opening and closing echoed up to the second floor.
The study was now a mess, with Gao Yuliang kneeling on the carpet.
Teacher Wu pushed open the slightly ajar door and walked in.
She placed the fruit plate on the tea cabinet, the porcelain plate hitting the marble countertop with a slight clinking sound.
Gao Yuliang did not turn back.
Ms. Wu walked to the desk, bent down and picked up the divorce certificate with the shoe print on it.
The black and white stamped lettering on the paper stung her eyes.
"Yu Liang."
She called out this name, using her full name and surname, her voice filled with extreme exhaustion.
"Stop."
Gao Yuliang slowly stood up, supporting himself on his knees with both hands.
He didn't take the paper; his gaze fell on the messy bank transfer records on the carpet.
"Sha Ruijin is pushing you to your death. If you do as he says, you will have no way out."
Teacher Wu slapped the paper onto the mahogany table.
"Arresting Ouyang Jing and freezing Luzhou's funds is tantamount to declaring war on Shenzhong!"
"Shenyang Heavy Machinery Group was able to uproot Zhao Lichun completely, and even the Central Military Commission could be used to intimidate people."
"What do you have to fight him with?"
Gao Yuliang leaned on the edge of the desk, panting heavily.
"If I don't fight, Xiaofeng and the child will die in a basement on Hong Kong Island."
Teacher Wu stepped forward and tried to pull Yu Liang's arm up.
"Is it worth sacrificing your reputation for most of your life for a woman who's not even presentable?"
"Go and confess to the organization now, and go to Shen Zhong to admit your mistake."
"Tell me everything about how Sha Ruijin tried to extort you tonight."
"Shen Zhong is a man who respects rules. As long as you hand over the power of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he may not necessarily go to extremes to eliminate you."
"At worst, I can retire early and at least preserve my life and reputation in my later years."
Gao Yuliang shook off her hand.
The force was great; Teacher Wu staggered back half a step and bumped into the single sofa behind her.
"His reputation in his later years?"
Gao Yuliang pointed to the entry and exit records and property payment slips on the carpet.
"I'm even going to sever the last remaining branch of the Gao family, what's the point of maintaining a good reputation in my later years!"
Teacher Wu's face turned extremely ugly.
"What do you know?"
Gao Yuliang took a step closer, his chest heaving violently.
"You think I'm just after your youth and looks?"
"Xiaofeng gave birth to a son for me! He's a member of the Gao family!"
"You've been married to me for so many years, can you give me this?"
This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Teacher Wu gripped the sofa armrest and let out a cold laugh.
"Gao Yuliang, you're disgusting."
"You've been married to me for so many years, and you keep talking about Marxism-Leninism and Party principles."
"When you're lecturing on stage, you're more noble and more majestic than anyone else."
"In the end, you're still a feudal remnant at heart!"
Gao Yuliang walked to the desk and slammed his fist on the hard surface.
"Say what you want!"
"Let me tell you, Wu Huifen, for the past ten years, we've only ever gotten what we wanted!"
"You need the title of wife of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and you need others to call you Teacher Wu."
"I need a respectable family home to deal with the organization's scrutiny."
"We're even!"
These words were extremely hurtful, tearing away the last shred of decorum between the two.
Teacher Wu stood there, her fingernails digging into her palms.
"Now my bottom line has been shattered by Sha Ruijin."
Gao Yuliang raised his hand and pointed to the open door of the study.
"Get out of here!"
"From today onwards, stay out of my business!"
"I'd give up my old life for my son."
"Whether it's Shen Zhong or Sha Ruijin."
"Anyone who gets in my way, I'll drag them down to hell with me!"
Teacher Wu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of her.
Ten years of living in the same bed but dreaming different dreams have come to a complete end at this moment.
She didn't argue any further.
He turned and walked out of the study, his steps a little unsteady.
The sound of the master bedroom door slamming shut echoed down the hallway.
The study fell silent again.
The autumn rain outside the window grew heavier, and rumbling thunder rolled through the depths of the clouds.
The papers on the ground rustled in the draft.
Gao Yuliang slumped into his large office chair.
He was panting heavily, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Sha Ruijin gave them a three-day deadline.
Substantial countermeasures must be taken within three days.
Otherwise, the gasoline in that iron cage on Hong Kong Island would be ignited.
He picked up the old Nokia phone on the table.
The screen glowed with a ghostly green light.
He quickly calculated the cards he could play in his hand.
The public security system can no longer be relied upon.
Meng He, who had just taken office in the provincial department, was recommended by Liu Changchun.
Liu Changchun has now completely sided with Shen Zhong, and Meng He is completely unresponsive.
Zhao Donglai of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, needless to say, was Li Dakang's right-hand man.
The only option is to use force to go to Hong Kong Island and take the person back, or to create a big enough commotion in Handong to force Sha Ruijin to release the person.
Only the student who listened to him completely.
He pulled up his contacts.
The thumb stopped on the three characters "Qi Tongwei".
Once this number is dialed, a death order will be issued.
Tongwei will definitely lead his men to the forefront, even if it means risking their lives.
Gao Yuliang's finger hovered above the button.
I hesitated to press it.
He recalled seeing Qi Tongwei in the provincial party committee compound a few days ago.
The young man was wearing a newly changed police uniform, and the police badge on his chest was polished to a shine.
He exudes a sense of efficiency and competence.
Gone was the obsequiousness and anxiety of the past, and the gloom of being oppressed by the Liang family.
Tongwei is now working for Shen Zhong.
Finally, they got rid of that old woman Liang Lu, and also got rid of the mess left by the Zhao family.
Even within the special task force at Shanshui Manor, it became a sharp dagger that dominated the situation.
The kid finally managed to climb out of the mud and stand up straight.
Gao Yuliang let out a bitter laugh.
The laughter echoed in the empty room, dry and bitter.
I am completely rotten.
Why drag this student, who has finally gotten on the right track, back into the fire?
Qi Tongwei is now under Shen Zhong's control.
If you send him to deal with Sha Ruijin, you're essentially sending him to go against Shen Zhong.
He had witnessed Shen Zhong's methods firsthand; they were a true example of overwhelming force.
Sending Qi Tongwei to confront Shen Zhong would be a dead end with no chance of survival.
Gao Yuliang threw his phone back onto the table.
He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Since the path of force is not viable, the only option left is political means.
Sha Ruijin wants to muddy the waters.
The funds for the Luzhou project must be frozen, and Li Dakang's ex-wife, Ouyang Jing, must be arrested.
The police can't do this kind of thing, nor is it convenient for them to do it.
The procuratorate must be mobilized.
You must find someone who is willing to go to extremes and who is completely obedient to you.
Gao Yuliang opened his eyes again.
He opened the drawer of his desk and took out a thick, black leather-bound address book from the bottom.
This is the network of people he personally promoted and placed during his years as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
He flipped through the pages one by one.
My fingers traced over one familiar name after another.
Bai Jianfeng from the Provincial High Court is no good; he's too focused on procedural justice and can't handle this kind of dirty work.
Ji Changming from the Provincial Procuratorate is even worse; he's a cunning old fox, and he's probably terrified by now.
The finger finally stopped on a name that hadn't been used for a long time: Xiao Gangyu, Chief Prosecutor of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate.
