Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 201 Controllable

Gao Yuliang was startled.

He began to stammer:

"What Gao Xiaofeng? I don't understand..."

"You're right not to understand," Xia Qing said with a smile.

"I'll show you something."

Gao Yuliang sat down next to Xia Qing and watched as Xia Qing opened a special website and entered her account and password.

With Gao Yuliang's extensive knowledge, he naturally knew that Xia Qing had opened a cloud account specifically used for storing data.

and many more.

The cloud?

Before Gao Yuliang could think about it, he saw that the opened cloud account clearly recorded every "abnormal" expenditure of the Shanshui Group.

These expenditures involve large and small private and state-owned enterprises, such as Huilong Group and oil and gas groups.

He also called many officials and cadres whom Gao Yuliang recognized.

In short, this ledger in the cloud records all the cadres and companies that Shanshui Group has had dealings with in Handong over the years!

Gao Yuliang finally saw the one line he least wanted to see.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

Finance Department of Shanshui Group.

Targeted allocation.

The recipient is the trust fund.

Everyone, Gao Xiaofeng!

Moreover, it wasn't just one instance.

All of it, from beginning to end, went into Gao Xiaofeng's trust fund.

A whopping 312 million yuan!

Gao Yuliang was stunned.

How did Xia Qing come to have the Shanshui Group's account books?

Does it also contain information about Gao Xiaofeng?

Xia Qing knew Gao Yuliang was shocked, so she took the initiative to speak:

"This is the ledger that Liu Qingzhu made, and it's stored in his cloud backup."

Liu, Liu Qingzhu?

Does cloud backup really exist?

Gao Yuliang felt a wave of dizziness; he was already overwhelmed by the unfolding events before him.

Why does a cloud backup that I believe doesn't exist actually exist?

Why is it really an account book inside?

Seeing Gao Yuliang's confused expression, Xia Qing explained:

"This is the ledger made by Liu Qingzhu, which records in detail every transaction in which Shanshui Group participated. It's pretty much the same as the one made by Gao Xiaoqin."

After a pause, Xia Qing looked at Gao Yuliang and asked seriously:

"The only difference is, why did the 300 million yuan that was recorded in Liu Qingzhu's ledger for transferring to Gao Xiaoqin disappear in the ledger you handed over, Secretary Yuliang?"

"Can I understand that, Secretary Yuliang, you made a small alteration to the ledger you copied from Gao Xiaoqin before handing it over?"

"You've completely erased all records related to Gao Xiaofeng! Secretary Yuliang, as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, you must know how serious the responsibility is for unauthorized deletion or alteration of important evidence!"

Overwhelmed by Xia Qing's barrage of questions, Gao Yuliang staggered and fell backward onto the sofa.

He had never experienced anything like this before.

Known for his eloquence and logic, he was completely defeated by Xia Qing from multiple angles, and his momentum was also completely suppressed.

In front of Xia Qing, Gao Yuliang felt a rare sense of awe.

Faced with Xia Qing's schemes and words.

Gao Yuliang.

Utter defeat!

a long time.

Gao Yuliang let out a long sigh, clapped his hands, and slowly said:

"I lost."

Xia Qing did not show any smugness; she simply accepted Gao Yuliang's words calmly.

"Minister Xia, so you've already obtained Liu Qingzhu's cloud backup and have a grasp of his ledger. Brilliant! From the very beginning, you used a mix of true and false information to lure Zhao Ruilong into a trap, lulling me into a false sense of security, forcing me to make the wrong decision under unfavorable circumstances, ultimately leading me to your side, where you defeated me with the evidence you had prepared beforehand."

Gao Yuliang leisurely expressed his admiration for Xia Qing's strategy:

"Truly masterful and daring! Each move is intricately linked, each step pressing closer! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant..."

Xia Qing listened quietly, without any joy on her face.

In his view, Gao Yuliang was a respectable reform fighter, a wise man, and a mature politician.

Defeating him now is merely exploiting Gao Yuliang's weakness.

It wasn't exactly a complete rout.

Xia Qing wanted to find out exactly who Gao Xiaofeng was to Gao Yuliang.

Although Xia Qing already had a general idea in her mind.

Here are a few clues:

Gao Xiaoqin's twin sister.

It was hidden on Hong Kong Island and never made public.

The Shanshui Group transferred 300 million yuan to Gao Xiaofeng as a trust fund.

And most importantly, Gao Yuliang's three responses to questions related to Gao Xiaofeng.

The first time, intimate photos of Gao Yuliang and Gao Xiaofeng were found in Bozhong Real Estate Agency.

Xia Qing handed the photos to Gao Yuliang, who looked grateful and relieved.

The second time, it was a tip deliberately given to Gao Yuliang by the procuratorate, which was investigating Gao Xiaofeng.

Gao Yuliang's response was to halt all investigations into Gao Xiaofeng under the pretext of inspection and rectification.

This reaction was quite intense.

The third time, which is this time.

Faced with a dead end where only handing over the account book could offer a glimmer of hope, Gao Yuliang was willing to take a desperate gamble, even at the cost of being charged with destroying important evidence, just to erase Gao Xiaofeng's name from the account book.

These three responses are enough to show that Gao Yuliang was extremely protective of Gao Xiaofeng.

In addition, Gao Xiaofeng also has a son.

Xia Qing had already guessed most of it.

But he still hoped that Gao Yuliang could say it himself.

Perhaps today we will hear that Gao Yuliang was never able to break free from the Zhao family...

The real reason!

Xia Qing was about to speak.

Gao Yuliang spoke first:

"Minister Xia, there's still something I don't understand. All of your plans are based on an uncontrollable premise: Liu Qingzhu's death. But if Liu Qingzhu hadn't had that car accident, how would you have executed these plans?"

Xia Qing smiled and said:

"Secretary Yuliang, who said Liu Qingzhu's death...was uncontrollable?"

"What did you say!" Gao Yuliang stood up abruptly, his eyes wide open, staring at Xia Qing.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Was Liu Qingzhu's death controllable?

So that's how it is...

Was Liu Qingzhu's death part of Xia Qing's scheme?

Did Xia Qing have someone stage this car accident to kill Liu Qingzhu?

No, that's not right, Xia Qing would never do something so stupid!

Then there is only one possibility.

Gao Yuliang said incredulously:

Did Liu Qingzhu fake his death?

Xia Qing nodded.

Gao Yuliang's mind became even more confused.

When Qi Tongwei reported on Liu Qingzhu's death.

They clearly retrieved the DNA comparison results and the autopsy report.

How could this be fake?

Gao Yuliang said unwillingly:

"That's impossible! I've read the report; it's definitely Liu Qingzhu himself. There's no way it could be fake, and Qi Tongwei wouldn't lie to me!"

Xia Qing sighed and said:

"Secretary Yuliang, who said I only have Qi Tongwei in the Public Security Bureau? Arranging an autopsy that can fool Qi Tongwei is a piece of cake. After all, even the Director of the Public Security Bureau needs to rely on the bureau's report, and can't personally conduct the autopsy..."

Gao Yuliang couldn't believe what he was hearing. So, Xia Qing used an informant planted in the Public Security Bureau to simply create a false result, deceiving Qi Tongwei and himself as well?

This convinced everyone that Liu Qingzhu had faked his death!

Gao Yuliang suddenly remembered something else.

He pointed at Xia Qing, his voice trembling slightly:

"So, in that case, Liu Qingzhu's escape right under our noses at the Shanshui Group that day was also..."

"That's right," Xia Qing said with a smile.

"Chen Haifang."
