As for Zhao Zhiqiang's identity file, in fact, not only the district but even the city did not have his original records from primary to junior high school.

What was available was just a name and a blank form.

"Comrade Zhao Zhiqiang, transferred to local preferential resettlement."

And this note was the reason for Director Ning's removal from his post.

At the time, this was also in the file, but because it fell to the bottom of the file bag, the staff did not see it.

Director Ning of the Civil Affairs Bureau had a good relationship with Li De. When he came to check on a small soldier, he didn't think much about it.

It's just a retired soldier, and without a file, he directly issued a certificate.

As a result, even though he was dismissed, he never thought about the real reason for his downfall.

Dead, not knowing how he died, that's what he was like.

Li De, however, knew the truth.

But he was troubled by another matter!

Someone had died.

A section chief named Ji Jiaoqi from the Organization and Personnel Department, a commonly used link cadre, fell into an unrenovated heating well and had his testicles crushed.

He died of pain before he could be taken to the hospital.

Li De couldn't figure out how the matter he had just settled yesterday turned upside down by noon today. On one hand, he had to busy himself with Ji Jiaoqi's funeral, and on the other, he had to endure the scolding of Pang Wenhuan.

Later, he heard that Secretary Gu actually transferred Director Ning of the Civil Affairs Bureau to the Old Cadres Office on the grounds of watching porn at work!

"Director, what's going on?"

"What's going on? The boss didn't say anything. Just calm down. Your nephew has committed many offenses. Now he has confessed to extortion and other crimes. It's likely he'll be in for at least three to five years!"

Li De was shocked, "Oh, what can we do? That's my sister's heart's treasure, her only son!"

"Think about your own flesh and blood first!"

Pang Wenhuan coldly said, "The wind is strong now, and it's a whirlwind! Be careful with your head!"

Li De finally understood that even a wrong word from Director Ning could get him in trouble. He had to be more careful!

After all, over the past three years, Li Yuan had gradually taken over half of Chen Boss's territory!

"Regarding Zhao Zhiqiang, cancel the order that the village chief needs to be approved by your street office. Nonsense! Always wanting to be a local emperor, but you have to have the right stuff! Forget it, go deal with the funeral. I'll find Zeng Xiaofeng to handle this."

He and Gu were both acting on Li Yuan's instructions, one going to the street office, the other to explain the situation to the villagers.

Pang Wenhuan also knew that behind this matter, his boss had been involved.

But now he was not showing up, probably because there was some strong wind from above?

...

After listening to the summary from a bureau chief from Beijing, Li Desheng, the elder, finally understood the matter of the blank file.

He nodded and smiled.

"Good! I won't cause you any more trouble in the future. I promise not to mention a single word to that kid!"

"But, when I have time, I'll train him more and give him some trouble!"

The old man's heart was rekindled.

The bureau chief, who was nervous and had a black face, carefully left the old leader's residence with the elder's repeated assurances.

Outside the door, Li Yuan's face was dark, like the bottom of a pot. The struggle with Chen Tuo had entered a white-hot phase. If he didn't further erode Chen's power, he would definitely bring down this tiger in two years. But the step of the Bincheng mayor was crucial for him.

However, this guy had now produced such a video, which was used as evidence of his poor handling of crisis petitioning issues at the provincial level.

Moreover, if it weren't for the United Front Work Department and the General Staff Department intervening, the issue of resettling the retired soldier Zhao Zhiqiang would have been beyond even his connections in the province!

He, as the secretary, could just as well go eat shit!

His father hadn't used the red line for private matters in thirty years, but this time he broke the rule!

This made Li Yuan feel guilty and self-reproachful. His father's lifelong friend had a problem, but he couldn't help...

However, everything about Zhao was still so unclear.

As for what Zhao Zhiqiang did, he now knew quite a bit.

A native of Linzhou, a retired soldier, a logistics and equipment management specialist, skilled in martial arts, capable of catching bandits, and even knew some massage and acupuncture techniques, clearly learned from Old Lin and praised by his father. Full of youthful vigor, he wanted to be the village chief, and in less than a month, his poor family seemed to become quite wealthy, and he had a good relationship with Secretary Jiang's daughter. The United Front Work Department side, his father didn't seem to know the situation, many big question marks...

Just as he was thinking about it.

Who would have thought.

It turned out that his father, Li Desheng, was eager to see his third brother.

As soon as the people from Beijing left, he called.

Saying he had a headache and needed him to come quickly... or he wouldn't see his older brother again.

When he entered, Zhao Zhiqiang saw Li Yuan standing in the hall, looking worried.

Zhao Zhiqiang, with his abundant spiritual energy, opened his financial eye.

"Prosperity, longevity, wealth, and health, the position of luck is damaged, dispel delusions to remove disasters."

Then, he actually saw some familiar people through Li Yuan's mind.

It seemed they were sitting together in the cold winter, and a smug person was hidden behind the scene, seemingly Mayor Chen, whom he had recently seen on the news.

A sudden idea came to Zhao Zhiqiang, and he didn't enter the room but stood opposite Li Yuan.

He had tried to use his spiritual energy to see what would happen today, but his financial eye, which was the cultivation of spiritual energy, couldn't see the future!

Several attempts were in vain, seemingly able to see what would happen to others but not to himself.

After drinking, he didn't think much about it, but then villagers petitioned, and Secretary Gu Meiyun came to explain, even saying that the bureau chief was dismissed? Thinking about it, it must have been the Li family father and son helping him.

Li Yuan was in trouble, so he naturally wanted to help. But this guy wouldn't listen to any talk about luck... better to speak frankly.

Suddenly, he remembered that the storage card from Zhu Zhijun was still in his possession. Weren't these the people hired by Zhao Tiejun?

Zhao Zhiqiang didn't realize that his memory had improved, but he was excited because he now had a ready answer to help!

"Ah? Teacher, you're here?" Li Yuan was surprised, looking at Zhao Zhiqiang who was staring at him, thinking, "Did I not wash my face this morning?" He touched his face.

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, "Secretary Li, you should have washed your face this morning, but I'm not looking at your face, I'm looking at your emotions."

"Emotions?" Li Yuan was startled.

"Ha ha, yes, Secretary Li, your aura is a bit dry. You must have been angry just now, and it seems you have a very troubling matter that needs to be resolved, but you are at a loss."

Li Yuan was even more surprised, "Teacher Zhao, how do you... uh."

"Ha ha, Secretary Li, Old Li has done me a favor and is my sworn brother. I won't beat around the bush. Your difficulties will naturally be resolved after you see this."

Saying that, he handed the memory card from his phone to Li Yuan, who was speechless with his mouth open.

He turned and entered the inner living room of the old man Li Desheng.

Li Yuan, doubtful, took a while to insert the card into his phone.

But he didn't know how to find it, so he called his son, who had just entered the room, to help. Soon, a video with many familiar faces appeared before Li Yuan.

"Dad, this is—Zhao Tiejun, that man is Huang San, I know! They are giving out money!"

"Right, can this video be used as evidence?"

"Let me see."

Li Shangbo watched for a few minutes, "Yes. There are no signs of PS or editing, it's original material."

"Good."

Li Yuan thought for a moment, then put away his phone.

He smiled happily and said, "Your little uncle is here, let's have dinner at home tonight, let's make dumplings..."

Little uncle?

Li Shangbo scratched his head, not understanding.

"That's your grandfather's sworn third brother!"

"Ah? I've already treated him as a brother!"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at his son's words, the family hierarchy was in complete disarray!

During the meal, Li Yuan asked Zhao Zhiqiang out of the blue, "Third Uncle, do you understand psychology?"

Li Desheng was greatly surprised!

"Ha ha, kid, you finally got it! Come, for calling me Third Uncle, I'll have three more cups today!" He didn't ask what psychology was.

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, "Ah, ah, in the army, we did learn a bit."

Actually, this had nothing to do with psychology...

Two days later.

In a certain office in the provincial party committee compound of Shen City, Liaoning Province, a leader in his forties looked at the photos and materials personally delivered by the Linzhou secretary and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he took out a phone and dialed a number with the surname Chen.

"Chen Tuo, you should be more restrained and know what it means to be content." Then he hung up.

On the other side, Chen Tuo was drenched in cold sweat. This sentence made him think all night.
