Chapter 226

With Bao Kaicheng dealt with, the meeting drew to a close. As for the other personnel involved in conspiring with and exploiting him, specific individuals had been assigned to handle them; the matter was not yet significant enough to be discussed by the Standing Committee. Soon, documents were issued by the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to the relevant units, and Bao Kaicheng was transferred to the Provincial Procuratorate. The person in charge of his case was Chen Yanshi. Upon hearing that such a corrupt official—and an old acquaintance at that—had emerged, Chen was so furious that he didn't even return home. He waited at the office, determined to interrogate the man thoroughly and demand to know why he had betrayed the Party’s cultivation and why he had chosen to engage in corruption. Setting aside Chen Yanshi’s handling of Bao Kaicheng, once the Provincial Party Committee meeting ended, the top two leaders left together to join Zhong Zhengguo for a banquet. Some things had to be said, and some appearances simply had to be maintained.
