"I'm just not taking sides," Lin Yunfei said slowly and in a deep voice.
"We won't intervene easily; let them fight it out themselves."
"If Sha Ruijin were capable, he could bring down Gao Yuliang..."
Liu Cheng nodded slightly, feeling reassured: "Lin Yu, the situation in Jingzhou is very complicated right now. Just listen to Yun Fei; he won't harm you."
. . . . .
Two days later, Zhao Ruilong visited the Guangming District Committee and personally donated 500 million yuan. (Reported by CCTV's production team.)
Liu Linyu, as a reporter, held a CCTV microphone and interviewed Zhao Ruilong.
"Mr. Zhao, I am very pleased that your Huilong Group has donated 500 million yuan to Guangming District."
Why are you doing this?
Zhao Ruilong looked at the CCTV camera, his lips twitching slightly, and reluctantly said, "Of course, it's because we want to give back to society."
"I'm from Handong, and I've been running a company for many years. It's all thanks to the continued positive economic situation."
"Our Huilong Group is willing to work closely with the Guangming District Government to build a democratic, harmonious, and stable society."
. . . . .
Gao Yuliang sat in his office, watching the live news broadcast and seeing Zhao Ruilong on TV.
He suddenly couldn't understand Zhao Ruilong, who was naturally domineering and had a capricious personality.
They actually donated 500 million yuan to Guangming District.
There must be something fishy going on here. There might be something fishy going on.
39. The Anti-Corruption Bureau suddenly showed up at the door, but Lu Yike was fearless.

Gao Yuliang stood before the floor-to-ceiling glass window, his gaze deep. After some thought, he decided to call Qi Tongwei.
"Tongwei, do you know about Ruilong's donation?"
"Donate?"
Gao Yuliang said in a deep voice, "Yes, Ruilong suddenly donated a large sum of money to the Guangming District government, a full 500 million yuan."
"Moreover, it was done in the name of Huilong Group."
Qi Tongwei paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then replied, "Teacher, I've heard a little about this, but I don't know the specific details."
"Tongwei, you must investigate this matter as soon as possible. There may be some hidden secrets behind it." Gao Yuliang said seriously, holding his mobile phone.
"Okay, teacher. I'll investigate right away."
Qi Tongwei hung up the phone and, after thinking for a moment, immediately dialed Zhao Ruilong.
Zhao Ruilong looked at the contact name on his phone, [Qi Donkey], answered the call, and said in a relaxed tone, "Oh, Director Qi, what can I do for you?"
Qi Tongwei went straight to the point: "Ruilong, what's the deal with that 500 million yuan donation?"
Zhao Ruilong chuckled and reassured him, "Director Qi, this is just a normal charitable act by our group."
Normal charity? You're kidding me.
Who are you, Zhao Ruilong? Through Liu Xinjian, you have been making a fortune at Handong Oil and Gas Group, embezzling over 10 billion yuan of state-owned assets.
Would Zhao Ruilong really be so compassionate as to do charity work? Absolutely not.
Qi Tongwei snorted coldly, his tone firm: "Don't try that on me, Ruilong."
“There’s definitely something fishy about this donation of yours. Teacher Gao called me.”
Zhao Ruilong suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, it's Secretary Yu Liang."
"Director Qi, don't overthink it. This donation is truly for charitable purposes," Zhao Ruilong tried to convince Qi Tongwei of his words.
Qi Tongwei was clearly not buying it. He said coldly, "Ruilong, we're both sensible people, so stop beating around the bush. What exactly is this donation for?"
Zhao Ruilong remained silent for a while, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, before finally sighing, "Alright, Director Qi, since you already know, I might as well be frank. This donation does have a purpose, but it's not for my personal gain."
Qi Tongwei frowned: "If it's not for your personal gain? Then tell me, what is it for?"
Zhao Ruilong lowered his voice and deliberately lied. He feigned mystery: "Director Qi, as you know, the anti-corruption situation is tense right now, and we businessmen are all on edge."
"My donation is to show our sincerity and determination to the authorities, and we hope to take this opportunity to ease the situation."
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought. Who was Zhao Ruilong referring to as "the higher-ups"?
Could it be that Zhao Ruilong was trying to show his sincerity to Li Dakang?
After all, Jingzhou City is Li Dakang's territory.
But wasn't Li Dakang Zhao Lichun's secretary back then?
Qi Tongwei was filled with doubts. Considering the complicated relationship between Li Dakang and the Zhao family, he felt that this matter was not simple.
Secretary Zhao's assessment of Li Dakang back then was that he was a man who could not be trusted.
"Ruilong, let's talk about serious matters."
"What are you planning to do with the land belonging to Dafeng Factory?" Qi Tongwei changed the subject and asked.
Zhao Ruilong pondered for a moment, then followed his second sister's orders: "Ding Yizhen is currently washing dishes in the United States."
“Sha Ruijin has been parachuted in again, blocking Secretary Yuliang’s path to advancement.”
"Since the land of Dafeng Factory has been converted into industrial land, then we don't need it."
Qi Tongwei frowned: "You don't want it anymore? This isn't like you."
Zhao Ruilong: "Anyway, I only own 30% of the shares in Shanshui Group. Director Qi, I don't want to get involved in this mess."
"Your Shanshui Group is now a major shareholder of Dafeng Factory. You will have to settle those workers yourselves."
“Give them a job,” Zhao Ruilong said, making a startling statement.
Qi Tongwei stared in disbelief, unable to believe his ears.
“Ruilong, that piece of land at Dafeng Factory. We’ve put so much effort into it.”
"Chen Qingquan of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court."
"And there's Vice Mayor Ding Yizhen."
"Now you're saying you don't want it anymore? All our previous investments have gone down the drain." Qi Tongwei was furious and questioned in a deep voice.
Zhao Ruilong rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that this donkey was really stupid.
What kind of time is this? The situation is dire, and you're still not thinking about stopping to save yourself.
"Director Qi, the situation is beyond our control. I will arrange for Liu Xinjian to go abroad."
After saying that, Zhao Ruilong hung up the phone immediately.
Beep beep!
A busy signal came through.
Qi Tongwei gripped the phone, his face ashen, his heart burning with rage.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy. Please try again later."
"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy. Please try again later."
This was Qi Tongwei's third attempt to call, but still no one answered.
He was calling Lin Yunfei.
Qi Tongwei knew that Lin Yunfei had blocked him and was deliberately avoiding him.
. . . . . .
Meanwhile, at the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee office building.
Lin Yunfei and Li Dakang are reporting on their work.
"Secretary Li, this is the business license of the company in the logistics park."
"The registered address of the e-commerce logistics headquarters is in Guangming District, Jingzhou. Invoices and tax payments are all handled by the Guangming District Finance Bureau."
"The logistics base will be located in Zijin District, Jingzhou City. It is initially planned to cover 120 acres and provide 10,000 jobs."
Li Dakang took the document, frowned slightly, and carefully read through it.
After a moment, Li Dakang smiled and praised, "Well done, Comrade Yunfei."
"Attracting investment has always been a key performance indicator for our top leaders at all levels."
"This project can not only drive economic development, but also solve a large number of employment problems. It's a win-win situation," Li Dakang said happily.
Lin Yunfei smiled modestly: "Thank you for your affirmation, Secretary Li. We will continue to work hard."
Li Dakang stood up and closed the office door: "Yunfei, I want to ask you a personal question."
"Secretary Li, I want to ask the old secretary's son why he donated 500 million yuan worth of goods to our Guangming District," Lin Yunfei said slowly, getting straight to the point.
Li Dakang looked at Lin Yunfei with a strange expression and said, "Yunfei, I'm also puzzled by this question."
This Lin Yunfei is definitely not an ordinary person. He even knew perfectly well that Zhao Ruilong was the only son of the former Party Secretary Zhao Lichun.
Lin Yunfei smiled mysteriously, a smile that held a peculiar meaning: "I think it should be charity."
Upon hearing this, Li Dakang couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Charity? Li Dakang can be said to know Zhao Ruilong very well.
Boom! !
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Li Dakang frowned, gestured for Lin Yunfei to wait a moment, and went to open the door.
Chen Hai and Lu Yike, dressed in prosecutor's uniforms, stood outside the door with serious expressions.
"Excuse me, Secretary Li. We are receiving reports from the public. Lin Yunfei, the Party Secretary of Guangming District, is suspected of massive corruption and keeping a mistress."
Lu Yike spoke slowly, confident and fearless.
