Chapter 2883 confirms it's the Discipline Inspection Commission.

In Yang Zhijie's view, this matter was not a big deal at all. Over the years, there have been quite a few people who have reported and confessed about the Yang family, and each time it was easily resolved.

Although Shao Hongli's rank is higher, as long as he is still in Gansu and Liangzhou provinces, it is not a big deal.

“It wasn’t a big deal before. Even if I didn’t get involved, the person in the province would have taken care of it and it wouldn’t have affected us. But things are different now.” Yang Guoqiang shook his head slightly and sighed.

"What's different?" Yang Zhijie didn't understand.

"Now there's a Qin Feng in Shazhou."

"Qin Feng? Dad, you're giving Qin Feng way too much credit, aren't you?" Yang Zhijie scoffed.

"I overestimated you? Think about it carefully. What was the situation in Shazhou before Qin Feng came, and what is it now? What was the situation of our Yang family before he came, and what is it now?"

"If Qin Feng were really that easy to deal with, you would have already taken action against him so many times. Why is he still sitting comfortably in the mayor's position, and his position is becoming more and more secure, and his power is growing?"

"Remember when you used that waitress incident to create public opinion online, and the provincial discipline inspection commission took him away? If it were an ordinary cadre, he would have been dead long ago. But what was the final result? He was detained by the provincial discipline inspection commission for so long, and with sufficient evidence, he still came back safe and sound."

"Do you know why?"

"Why?" Yang Zhijie was also a little curious.

"After he was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection specially sent an inspection team to supervise the case. With the inspection team there, would the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection dare to act recklessly? Then, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Hongjian, was sent in a surprise inspection, so no one dared to touch him casually."

"Have you always thought that Qin Feng is just a pawn sent to Shazhou by higher-ups as cannon fodder because he has no real power base? Let me tell you, the newly appointed deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Zhao Hongjian, calls him 'big brother' in private, and Secretary Hu of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection calls him 'uncle' in private. You don't really think he's that easy to deal with, do you? That's why the person in the province wants to get rid of him so much but doesn't dare to do it openly. He has to find a legitimate reason that no one can say anything about."

"I'm saying all this just to remind you not to underestimate Qin Feng. Let's get back to what just happened. Qin Feng is clearly targeting Shao Hongli. If we don't protect Shao Hongli, he'll most likely be taken in. If he is, can you guarantee that Qin Feng won't have people interfere? If the situation gets out of control, do you know what the consequences will be?"

“So under no circumstances can we let Shao Hongli go in, because the outcome is unpredictable and the cost of any accidents would be too high. With Qin Feng around, No. 1 Middle School will never fall into your hands. Qin Feng has just been using No. 1 Middle School to keep you and Jiang Longjun hanging on, profiting from the situation. Exchanging No. 1 Middle School for Shao Hongli is a sure-fire deal. Most importantly, doing so will also improve your relationship with Jiang Longjun, and even form an alliance against Qin Feng. At the same time, it will allow you to continue to cultivate Shao Hongli and let him check Qin Feng. Why not?” Yang Guoqiang slowly explained to Yang Zhijie. This was the first time he had so calmly and earnestly educated Yang Zhijie.

Yang Zhijie had always harbored resentment towards Yang Guoqiang for handing over the relocation of the No. 1 Middle School to Jiang Longjun. Although he dared not say it out loud, he could not accept it in his heart.

However, after hearing Yang Guoqiang's words, he understood why Yang Guoqiang did this, and he realized how naive he had been.

“I was too naive. I didn’t think that much about it. I understand why you called me here today. I will continue to contact and cooperate closely with Shao Hongli,” Yang Zhijie said.

“No…you’re wrong. That’s not why I called you here today.” Yang Guoqiang shook his head.

"That is?"

"Do you think it's that simple to protect Shao Hongli? Things aren't that simple. Qin Feng has made such a big fuss about these projects this time, and he's uncovered a whole bunch of illegal and criminal activities. He's almost tracked down Ding Wenbo. Although Jiang Longjun has now forbidden Qin Feng from investigating any further and has let the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection get involved, someone has to take the blame and cover it up. Otherwise, no one can cover it up. And the only one who can take the blame is Ding Wenbo. Only if Ding Wenbo takes all the responsibility can Shao Hongli be protected. Protecting Shao Hongli will indirectly protect you."

"My original plan was for Shao Hongli to find a way to smuggle Ding Wenbo out of the country before the matter implicated him. Once Ding Wenbo was out of the country, Jiang Longjun would have the Discipline Inspection Commission launch an investigation into him. By then, Ding Wenbo would have already absconded, and all the charges would fall on him, leaving Shao Hongli completely safe."

“And Ding Wenbo can’t be left to cause trouble, after all, only the dead can be trusted. Didn’t you ask where your Uncle Yin went? He went to Myanmar to do my job of silencing Ding Wenbo,” Yang Guoqiang continued.

"I see. Thank you, Dad. I know you did all this for my safety. I will definitely think more carefully before I act in the future," Yang Zhijie said, feigning gratitude.

“Zhijie, if things had been resolved so perfectly, I wouldn’t have called you back, nor would I have said any of this to you,” Yang Guoqiang shook his head.

"Has something happened?" Yang Zhijie exclaimed in surprise.

"During the journey to send Ding Wenbo abroad, Ding Wenbo suddenly disappeared at Shanghai Airport. Our people personally escorted him onto the plane bound for Shanghai and watched it take off, but Ding Wenbo did not get off the plane at Shanghai Airport."

"Huh? What... what's going on?"

"I used all my connections to investigate this matter, and finally I found out that Ding Wenbo was taken away on the plane," Yang Guoqiang said.

"He was taken away? Who?" Yang Zhijie was completely bewildered.

"I don't know, I haven't found out, but it's not hard to guess, because the possibilities are slim." Yang Guoqiang shook his head slightly.

"What exactly happened?" Yang Zhijie asked anxiously. He wasn't stupid; he understood how serious it was that Ding Wenbo had been taken away at this time.

"First of all, it is certain that the person who was able to secretly take Ding Wenbo away inside the airport was an official, but not a police officer. I had someone contact the staff of that flight, and they said it didn't seem like a police officer. I also had someone conduct a detailed investigation at the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. It was not an operation by the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, nor did any other local police force go to Shanghai to carry out this operation."

"You mean the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Yang Zhijie was surprised.

“Besides the Public Security Bureau, the only other possibility is the Discipline Inspection Commission. Given Ding Wenbo’s identity and this incident, the Discipline Inspection Commission is more likely. Judging from the flight attendant’s description of the other party’s clothing and manner of behavior, it can be basically confirmed that he is from the Discipline Inspection Commission.” Yang Guoqiang nodded.
