After hearing Diao Baoshan's words, all the committee members had tense expressions and were visibly displeased.
He ignored their emotions and continued.
"Ever since Secretary Chen came to Tianhe, he urged the citizens to report corrupt officials, and I think that's a commendable approach. It's just a pity the investigation didn't go deeper, or else who among us can truly withstand scrutiny?!"
Upon hearing this, Gan Qiu immediately felt defiant.
He directly questioned, "What do you mean by that? Don't make baseless accusations without evidence!"
Diao Baoshan had contemplated how best to berate Gan Qiu, and now with his adversary walking right into his line of fire, his interest intensified.
"Which of the main leaders under investigation weren't chosen by you? Even if they're incompetent, they can still rise to higher positions. Are you going to deny any underhanded dealings here?"
Gan Qiu found himself at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.
