s really nothing we can do about Sun Bowen. Additionally, since Mei'er is focusing her efforts on finding the group leader right now, she doesn’t have much time to deal with this issue concerning Sun...Chapter 813: Caught a Cold from the Cold

"What a pain!" Xia Tian muttered somewhat discontentedly, then looked at Guo Hao and said, "Hey, aren’t you leaving yet"

The people behind Guo Hao were momentarily stunned. Who was this brat He was way too arrogant! But they didn't take any action because from the previous conversation, they could tell that Guo Hao knew this kid. And seeing how this kid treated Secretary Guo so rudely, it seemed like he had some background. They decided not to be the first ones to make a move and observe for now.

"Xia Tian, don't go too far!" Guo Hao was quite angry. "We are acting according to the law. What you're doing now is criminal behavior!"

"Hey, no nonsense, are you going to back off or not If not, I'll make sure you suffer from heatstroke again!" Summer was getting impatient. He paused for a moment and added, "Wait, the weather is a bit cold now, so it's harder to get heatstroke. I guess I’ll just give you a case of wind-cold instead!"

Guo Hao had a grim expression on his face. He knew that Summer was not someone to trifle with. Moreover, he had heard rumors suggesting that Dong Lin’s death was not due to horse sickness but rather because Summer had tampered with something. More importantly, Summer's reputation in Jianghai City now far exceeded what it was back when Summer first caused him trouble. This made Guo Hao have to be more cautious towards Summer.

Hearing Summer's threat and recalling his inexplicable bout of heatstroke before, Guo Hao really wanted to retreat. However, he knew all too well that he couldn't afford to back down; not only because the operation was directly assigned by the newly appointed provincial governor himself, but also because he had learned that the original secretary of the provincial disciplinary committee was being transferred away. As a deputy secretary, Guo Hao saw this as an opportunity for him to take over the position left behind. If he handled this case well, it would not only be considered a merit but could also earn him support from the governor. Yet if he abandoned his post now, his career prospects might become bleak.

"Summer, I am conducting a legal search of Shi Changgeng’s residence as per law; no one is allowed to obstruct me. If you persist in your obstinate behavior…" Guo Hao decided to face the challenge head-on this time and not back down. He was willing to risk it all for his future prospects.

Unfortunately, Guo Hao obviously made the wrong bet. Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly shivered, and a chill seemed to emerge from nowhere, instantly filling him with coldness. Although the actual temperature was in the teens, he felt as if he were experiencing bone-chilling winter winds!

Guo Hao shivered and sneezed suddenly, instinctively hugging himself tightly, yet it had no effect; his body continued to tremble from the cold.

"Y-You... what have you done to me" Guo Hao's teeth chattered as he looked at Xia Tian, his speech becoming incoherent.

"How pitiful. Did the cold wind give you a chill I thought someone your age would know better than to wear so little clothing," Xia Tian said with a sympathetic tone before turning to look at the others, "Oh, Comrade Secretary Guo is sick now; if you don’t want to fall ill yourselves, quickly take him to the hospital. Otherwise, you might catch his cold too! Let me tell you, wind-chill can be serious and even fatal!"

Everyone looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do. To say that one could catch a cold on such a warm day seemed highly unlikely, yet they could clearly see Guo Hao shivering with cold.

"Comrade Secretary Guo, are you alright" Finally, someone asked.

"Come on, let's leave here and take me to the hospital..." Guo Hao couldn't hold out any longer; he was too cold. For a moment, he felt as if he were about to die.

With Guo Hao saying this, everyone knew what they had to do. In no time at all, including Guo Hao, everyone left the scene.

"They really are masochists, they won't cry until they see the coffin." Xia Tian pursed her lips and turned to look at Yun Qing, saying, "Sister Yun Qing, it's fine now. I've driven them all away."

Yun Qing looked at Xia Tian in a daze; this guy really is quite capable. Even the people from the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection were afraid of him. But she just couldn't figure out why Uncle Shih would suddenly be under investigation by the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

By common sense, even if there was something improper with Uncle Shih, it wouldn’t require the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to come investigate. At most, the municipal level commission could handle it. But now not only did the provincial one come, but also a deputy secretary of the Commission led the team. Wasn't this too big a deal

"Sister, why hasn’t Dad returned yet" At this moment, Shih Chun and Yun Xiu Mei came out from the house. Shih Chun pulled at Yun Qing's sleeve, asking somewhat pitifully.

"Sis, Bro, what should we do now" Yun Xiumei was also visibly worried. Those who didn't come back last night were not only Shi Changgeng but also Shi Xiaohu. Now that she heard about the disciplinary inspection on Shi Changgeng, Yun Xiumei knew that there was a high chance that Shi Xiaohu had been detained as well. As Shi Changgeng's driver and a distant nephew, Shi Xiaohu had always enjoyed Shi Changgeng’s trust. If Shi Changgeng really did something illegal, then it was likely that Shi Xiaohu would be involved too.

"I'll try to find out some information first." Yun Qing was now somewhat at a loss as well, but seeing her sister's helpless look and Yun Xiumei’s worried expression, she knew that she had to stay calm in this situation.

At this moment, Xia Tian's phone rang; Qiao Xiaoqiao was calling.

"Wife, are you awake" Upon receiving the call, Xia Tian asked.

"Husband, Big Brother just called me. Uncle Two told him to inform me that I should temporarily go back to Jianghai."

Qiao Xiaoqiao quickly said: "Uncle Two also knows that I am planning to develop Green Peak Mountain. However, according to what he said, the provincial CCDI is currently investigating corruption issues in MuYang County. The縣委書記薛勝利 and the police chief 石長庚 have already been placed under dual regulations. It's rumored that many others were also placed under dual regulations at the same time. Moreover, both 薛勝利 and 石長庚 were directly taken to the provincial level last night. Unsurprisingly, MuYang County Government will likely be undergoing a significant personnel change. Therefore, it is impossible to talk about developing Green Peak Mountain now. We can only continue with this project after the new leadership team has been confirmed."

“How could things turn out like this” Xia Tian felt a bit disappointed: "We thought we were going to succeed last night!"

"Yes, I also thought so, but human plans can't compete with divine calculations," Qiao Xiaoqiao was somewhat helpless as well. "But don’t worry, husband. We can come back after things stabilize here in MuYang County."

After a pause, Qiao Xiaoqiao added: "Oh right, Big Brother also said that this matter was initiated by the newly arrived provincial governor Song Jinping. Even Uncle Two doesn't know why Song Jinping would start with MuYang County. Since it happened quite suddenly, I think something might be off. Husband, why don’t you ask people in Beijing to look into it Is there any connection between this Song Jinping and the one you mentioned earlier named Song Yumei"he call was from Song Yumei; he immediately answered."Where are you, Mimi" Xia Tian asked, "Are you feeling better now"From the other end of the line came Song Yumei's voice. However, to Xia Tian's ea...
