The Invincible Son-in-law-Chapter 574 - 574: Cutting the Knot Quickly

Lin Hao was arranging files when he received a call from Yuan Zhiming, the Secretary of the Wucheng County Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"Hello, County Magistrate Lin, this is Yuan Zhiming."
"Secretary Yuan, what brings you calling so late?" Lin Hao knowingly asked.
Yuan Zhiming was currently investigating the matters in Longwan Village of Qingquan Town, and there must have been significant developments; otherwise, he wouldn't call at such an hour.
"County Magistrate Lin, everything about Longwan Village has been thoroughly investigated. The town's party committee, town government, village secretary, and director, even the team leaders are all involved..." Yuan Zhiming ed the investigation details in full.
In fact, he had already clarified things long ago, but since Mayor Han came for an inspection today, he decided to hold off on ing it until after Mayor Han and his team left.
As Lin Hao had thought, the involvement was extensive this time. If real penalties were imposed, who would take up the grassroots work in Qingquan Town and Longwan Village?
Of course, Yuan Zhiming clearly understood this point as well, which was why he ed to throw this hot potato to him.
"Secretary Yuan, who is the main culprit in this matter? I mean, who brought it up first?" Lin Hao asked in a deep voice.
"It was brought up while Mayor Tian and Luo Zhijun were drinking. Both claimed the other suggested it, but I reckon both had this intention." Yuan Zhiming responded.
"Are there specific amounts involved in the embezzlement?" Lin Hao asked coolly.
"Of course, there are. The two of them embezzled the most; out of the over 12 million in land compensation for Longwan Village, they took half..." Yuan Zhiming ed truthfully.
"Since they're so bold, they should be severely punished. Others must return the illicit funds within a deadline, receive party disciplinary action, and those with severe circumstances should be dismissed. This must be dealt with swiftly to avoid complications. Once penalties are imposed, immediately to prevent spiraling and expanding influence..." Lin Hao commanded.
"Yes, I will work overnight to prepare the penalties and submit them to the standing committee tomorrow." Yuan Zhiming replied.
After hanging up, Lin Hao thought about how Luo Yimei would be heartbroken if Luo Zhijun got caught.
However, the law is ruthless. Luo Zhijun's blatant embezzlement was self-destructive; no one else could be blamed.
In truth, one couldn't entirely blame Luo Zhijun and Mayor Tian either. After all, both had been demoted to local positions, knowing their political careers were over, they naturally wanted to grab some money.
They initially thought that with all levels involved, especially the village level, they'd handle it well. However, they didn't expect the farmers today to be less naive than before, having taken the issue to the petition office, causing a stir.
Lin Hao continued with the file arrangements, taking about half an hour to finish, then he called Li Jingyi.
"Hello, Secretary Li, it's Lin Hao."
"County Magistrate Lin, how was today's inspection?" Li Jingyi casually asked.
"Not great, there are many issues in several departments. I've sorted them out and will send them to you shortly." Lin Hao replied with a bitter face.
"It's normal to have issues. As long as they aren't major, they can be corrected." Li Jingyi reassured him.
"The issues aren't major, mainly minor ones. I've included suggestions for rectification in the document I'm sending to you. Review them, and if they're fine, I'll have them implemented tomorrow."
Li Jingyi responded, "Alright, send it over, and I'll have a look."
"Secretary Li, there's also one matter I'd like to ..." Lin Hao briefly ed on the situation in Longwan Village of Qingquan Town.
Li Jingyi was aware that Luo Zhijun and Director Tian were the instigators and, like Lin Hao, believed they must be severely punished.
As for others, they should return the illicit funds within a deadline, accept organizational punishment, and receive corresponding disciplinary actions based on the severity.
After hanging up, Lin Hao called Luo Yimei.
"Brother-in-law, you finally called me." The younger sister replied joyfully.
"Xiaomei, how is the hotel renovation going?" Lin Hao asked with a smile.
"We're working overtime these days, I'm overseeing it, making sure it's done within a month." Luo Yimei replied.
"Don't overwork yourself too much. If you fall ill, I'll be heartbroken." Lin Hao teased her with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm in good health. Every time I think about running this hotel myself, it gives me endless energy." Luo Yimei seemed full of vigor.
Clearly, she hadn't received news about Luo Zhijun, indicating the discipline commission's confidentiality was quite effective.
Originally, Lin Hao called intending to tell her about Luo Zhijun, but seeing her in such high spirits and good mood, he found it difficult to broach the topic.
"Xiaomei, just keep an eye on the renovation. Once it's done, I'll arrange the first New Energy Battery Conference at your hotel to boost its reputation." Lin Hao said.
"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you so much, brother-in-law." Luo Yimei was overwhelmingly surprised.
"Don't worry, with me supporting you, the hotel business will surely be good." Lin Hao laughed heartily.
"Brother-in-law, where are you now? Do you want to come and see me?" Luo Yimei's voice carried a hint of allure.
Evidently, she wanted Lin Hao to come over and be intimate with her, but knowing she was busy overseeing the renovation, he decided not to disturb her.
"Not today, you focus on completing the renovation first. Once it's done, brother-in-law will definitely come and visit you."
"You promised, no backtracking!" Luo Yimei said with joy.
"Rest assured, brother-in-law keeps his word and will be there. I have something to do now, so I'll hang up." Lin Hao finished and ended the call.
After leaving the hotel, Lin Hao was about to take a taxi home when he received a call from Su Muyu.
"Brother-in-law, where are you?"
"I just left the Hilton Hotel and I'm heading home." Lin Hao replied.
"Sister-in-law wants you to come drink with us, are you coming?" Su Muyu mentioned Li Xue.
Speaking of their sister-in-law Li Xue, Su Muyang previously brought his mistress home and messed around, getting caught by her red-handed, leading to her angrily moving to stay with Su Muyu.
Today, Su Muyu handled Mayor Han's entourage, and in the evening, the two of them went to a bar to drink, naturally mentioning Lin Hao.
On a past occasion, while the two were drunk, Lin Hao successively got intimate with both Su Muyu and Li Xue, those vibrant images lingered vividly in his mind, making him relish the memory.
After all, he had seduced his sister-in-law under Su Muyu's gaze and later, while pretending to be asleep with Li Xue, he had seduced her younger sister-in-law.
However, to avoid awkwardness, neither of them had addressed the issue and acted as if nothing happened, resulting in an increasingly harmonious interaction.
This evening, the two ladies went drinking at the bar, and after discussing Lin Hao, the already somewhat intoxicated Li Xue asked Su Muyu to call Lin Hao over to join them.
"I've already had quite a bit to drink." Lin Hao said with a bitter expression.
"Sister-in-law wants to thank you for helping her transfer jobs and wants to treat you to a drink. Are you coming or not?" Su Muyu seemed a bit drunk too.
