After Hou Liangping finished speaking, Gao Yuliang remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Liangping, this matter you're dealing with is indeed very complicated."
"However, since you have already found out that you were framed, we should believe you. As for the Zhong family's matter, that is their own doing and has nothing to do with you."
Hou Liangping felt a warmth in his heart; he knew Gao Yuliang believed him. He continued, "Teacher Gao, I want to divorce Zhong Xiaoai now. She's vicious and tried to poison me. I hope you can help me."
Gao Yuliang nodded, his gaze deep beneath his glasses, and said earnestly, "This is your personal matter, and I support your decision. However, divorce is no small matter, so you need to think it through carefully."
Hou Liangping said firmly, "I have thought it through. Zhong Xiaoai poisoned me, so there is no longer any affection between us. Moreover, the Zhong family has now fallen from power, and Zhong Zhengguo has been placed under investigation. I must sever all ties with them."
Looking into Hou Liangping's determined eyes, Gao Yuliang knew he had made up his mind, so he said, "Alright, I'll help you contact a lawyer to handle the divorce."
Hou Liangping looked at Gao Yuliang gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher Gao."
Gao Yuliang patted him on the shoulder: "Liangping, don't be so polite. You have a long road ahead of you, so walk it well."
Hou Liangping nodded, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.
"Uncle, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
Lu Yike smiled wryly, wearing a denim jacket, standing behind Hou Liangping.
Wu Huifen snapped out of her daze, stepped forward and took Lu Yike's arm: "Yike, since you're already here, stay at home tonight."
"Liangping, you stay here too. There are plenty of guest rooms at home."
Hou Liangping initially wanted to decline, but seeing the sincerity in Wu Huifen's eyes, he swallowed his words. He did indeed need a quiet place to sort out his chaotic thoughts, so he nodded and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Wu."
Lu Yike held Wu Huifen's hand and said coquettishly, "Auntie, it's been so long since I've had a proper chat with you."
Wu Huifen patted her hand with a smile: "You silly girl, you're usually so busy with work, so spend some time with this old woman today."
The group entered the house, and Hou Liangping sat on the sofa in the living room, looking around at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar surroundings. This used to be a place he and Zhong Xiaoai frequented; now, everything had changed.
He sighed softly, trying to stop himself from thinking about those upsetting things.
Gao Yuliang sat to the side, looking at Hou Liangping, and slowly said, "Liangping, although the Zhong family's affairs are not closely related to you, you should still be prepared to face all kinds of public opinion. After all, you have had this relationship with the Zhong family."
Hou Liangping frowned slightly and nodded, saying, "Teacher Gao, I understand. Since I've decided to divorce Zhong Xiaoai and sever ties with the Zhong family, I've already made the mental preparations."
At this moment, Lu Yike took out a bottle of red wine and some glasses from the room and said with a smile, "Uncle, Aunt, let's have some wine to relax."
Gao Yuliang smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll have a couple of drinks with you guys today."
Hou Liangping took the wine glass from Lu Yike, looked at the red liquid in it, and felt a mix of emotions.
He raised his glass and said to Gao Yuliang and Wu Huifen, "Teacher Gao, Teacher Wu, thank you for your help and trust all this time. I will pick myself up and walk the path ahead well." Gao Yuliang and Wu Huifen also raised their glasses, the three of them clinked glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.
As night deepened, the atmosphere inside the house grew increasingly harmonious.
In this warm atmosphere, Hou Liangping temporarily forgot his troubles, and he believed that the future would definitely be better.
. . . . . .
The next day, under Gao Yuliang's intervention.
Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai voluntarily initiated legal proceedings and filed for divorce.
Because Zhong Xiaoai is still being held in custody by the City God Bureau, she cannot attend the court hearing.
(Li Zhaohao)
Therefore, the Intermediate People's Court of Handong Province pronounced its verdict in court.
"The plaintiff, Hou Liangping, and the defendant, Zhong Xiaoai, have a broken marriage. The facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient."
"Zhong Xiaoai attempted to poison Hou Liangping but failed. She is at serious fault."
"This court pronounces its verdict in court."
"Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai hereby dissolve their marriage, effective immediately."
Upon hearing the verdict, Hou Liangping felt little emotional; it was as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from his heart. He looked out the courtroom window, sunlight streaming through the glass and falling on his face, bringing a long-lost warmth. Stepping out of the courtroom, he took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling much lighter overall.
Back at Gao Yuliang's house, Lu Yike was already waiting for him in the living room. When she saw Hou Liangping return, a smile appeared on her face: "Liangping, congratulations, you're finally free."
Hou Liangping smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, it's finally over."
The two sat on the sofa and talked about their future plans. Hou Liangping said he wanted to start over and prove his worth through his own efforts.
230. Gao Yuliang takes the initiative to make overtures, while the mole is Ma Yunbo.

"Yunfei, it's like this. Hou Liangping took the initiative to divorce Zhong Xiaoai."
Gao Yuliang took the initiative to call Lin Yunfei and extend a friendly gesture: "I know this news surprised you, but it has already happened. Hou Liangping has chosen to sever ties with the Zhong family."
Lin Yunfei hesitated for a moment: "Secretary Gao, is Hou Liangping really divorcing Zhong Xiaoai?"
"Don't you think this kind of person is... cold-blooded and ruthless? Heartless and cruel?"
Gao Yuliang sighed softly on the other end of the phone, his tone tinged with complexity, "Yunfei, things can't be judged by appearances alone. Hou Liangping may have his own reasons and plans for doing this. In this complicated situation, everyone is searching for their own way out."
Hehe, you really are a great professor.
They have a whole set of theories.
"Secretary Gao, do you mean that Hou Liangping's actions were not heartless, but rather a result of some helpless compromise? Perhaps he is paving the way for a bigger goal?" Lin Yunfei said thoughtfully, his tone revealing a hint of realization.
Of course, Lin Yunfei knew this as well. Chen Hai was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Qi Tongwei was sentenced to 10 years.
Hou Liangping was Gao Yuliang's last student.
“Yes, Yunfei. Hou Liangping has always been a smart man; he knows when to cut ties. With the current turmoil, he may be preparing for self-preservation. After all, in this power struggle, everyone is a pawn, including you and me.” Gao Yuliang’s voice was deep, revealing a profound understanding of the situation.
Lin Yunfei was silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips: "Yes, this is a game of power."
“Secretary Gao, we are on tenterhooks every day, as if walking on thin ice.”
"Nobody knows whether an accident or tomorrow will come first," Lin Yunfei said slowly, his words carrying a double meaning.
With a meaningful expression, Gao Yuliang said in a deep voice, "That's right, Yunfei. You are now the Director of the Public Security Bureau, and the burden on your shoulders is heavy. The stability and security of the entire Handong rests on your shoulders."
"If you need help, you can come to me anytime." Gao Yuliang's words were a gesture of goodwill.
He's not stupid. A man who can rise to the position of deputy secretary of the provincial party committee can't be stupid.
Lin Yunfei, at such a young age, has already become a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, as well as the Vice Governor and Director of the Public Security Department. He might very well succeed me in the future.
“I appreciate Secretary Gao’s concern. In this game, we are all pawns to each other, but we may also be allies. I will act cautiously to ensure the stability of Handong.” Lin Yunfei’s tone was firm, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, Gao Yuliang didn't want to move.
In the current environment, Handong Province needs stability. Stability is fundamental.
Currently, the positions of Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister, Provincial Party Committee Secretary of Lüzhou City, and Executive Vice Governor are vacant.
In other words, the vacancy of the three Standing Committee members signifies a reshuffling of the power structure.
Gao Yuliang will retire in six months.
At that time, he will definitely go to the CPPCC and step down to the second line. In this critical period, any slight movement could trigger a chain reaction.
To put it bluntly, the Han University faction cannot afford to descend into chaos.
“I understand your position, Yunfei. We need to work together to ensure that Handong is not shaken by internal strife. Remember, in critical moments, trust and understanding are of paramount importance.” Gao Yuliang’s words were full of meaning, as if hinting at a tacit cooperation.
Lin Yunfei nodded, understanding in his heart.
...
The next day, Lin Yunfei led the task force in a Toyota Coaster to a safe house about 30 miles outside Dongshan City.
"This is a safe house in Dongshan City belonging to the Handong National Security Bureau."
"Our task force will stay here."
"Yes, Governor Lin." X6.
The six men nodded and went into their respective rooms.
The secure room is fully equipped and under strict surveillance to ensure that information is not leaked.
Lin Yunfei stood by the window, his gaze sharp as he looked down at the distant mountains.
At this moment, Secretary Liu Can hurried over, holding a stack of photos. Then she whispered something in Lin Yunfei's ear.
"Yunfei. This was secretly filmed by the National Security Bureau."
"Deputy Director Ma Yunbo was using drugs at home. He had syringes and heroin."
Lin Yunfei glanced at the photos, his expression unchanged; after all, he already knew the correct answer in his heart.
It's crystal clear who the good guys and the bad guys are.
He knew that this mission was not only about his personal future, but also about the cornerstone of stability in Handong. Every detail could not be overlooked, and every decision had to be made with utmost care.
Inside the safe room, the atmosphere was heavy as everyone prepared for the upcoming investigation. Time was of the essence, and the responsibility was immense. Lin Yunfei took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the conference room.
"Comrades, according to the preliminary covert investigation by the Handong National Security Department..."
"An investigator infiltrated the home of Ma Yunbo, the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
"Heroin and syringes were found, hidden in the bathroom."
Lin Yunfei, with a serious expression, took out a stack of photos and passed them around to the members of the task force.
Yan Guohua, the captain of the provincial criminal investigation team, frowned and was furious: "Beast! This scoundrel!"
Zheng Yaping, director of the First Department of the Provincial Procuratorate, wearing a prosecutor's uniform, said with a solemn expression: "It seems that there are indeed problems within the public security system of Dongshan City. We must investigate this strictly in accordance with the law, and we must not allow such scoundrels to tarnish the police badge. The subsequent investigation must be meticulous and thorough to ensure that the evidence is conclusive and that no mistakes are allowed."
An Xin, dressed in the uniform of a second-level police superintendent, with a full head of white hair, looked at the photos in her hand, her brows furrowed: "No wonder, sir... you don't trust the Dongshan Public Security Bureau."
Li Weimin, director of the Narcotics Control Bureau of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, wearing glasses, scanned the photo with sharp eyes and a serious expression: "I am extremely heartbroken."
"Governor Lin, to be honest, Ma Yunfei is my disciple..."
"He actually...does drugs?"
Li Weimin's emotions became volatile, and he clenched his teeth, feeling that he had completely lost face.
This was filmed by comrades from the National Security Bureau who personally infiltrated Ma Yunfei's home and used a miniature camera.
This is irrefutable evidence.
Zheng Yaping suddenly realized: "Director Li, please accept my condolences. Many times, we can only know a person's face but not their heart."
