In the thrilling of "Hurricane", Zhao Lidong's secret pillar was revealed, and it was actually a high-level figure on the political and legal front - He Liming, deputy secretary of the Linjiang Provincial Political and Legal Committee, which was unexpected by many audiences.
It turned out that Xu Zhong's respected mentor had already known the inside story, but he cleverly hid his identity, making it difficult for people to detect. He suggested that the case be resolved quickly, aiming at Gao Qiqiang, but in the end, even the division commander was not spared.
This reveals the unfathomable nature of the power struggle.
The key lies in this: behind Xu Zhong is He Liming, deputy secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, who is in power, and Zhao Lidong also relies on this person. It stands to reason that the tacit understanding and background support between colleagues should have made Zhao Lidong easy, but what is puzzling is that even with such a strong backing, Zhao Lidong was unable to settle Xu Zhong.
It was like a game that seemed like an insider should win easily, but Zhao Lidong was in a stalemate, and despite his abundant resources, he still couldn't shake Xu Zhong's position.
The answer seems to be self-explanatory: on the surface, Zhao Lidong relies on the position of deputy secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, and his momentum is like a rainbow. However, the truth may be that Zhao Lidong mistakenly thought that Xu Zhong was standing with him, which stemmed from their relationship with He Liming.
This misunderstanding became a turning point, allowing Xu Zhong to maneuver between Zhao Lidong and them, thus shaping the plot development we witnessed later.
In-depth analysis, Zhao Lidong's inability to shake Xu Zhong's foundation is not as simple as it seems. In fact, the symbol of privilege in Xu Zhong's hands, the "Shang Fang Sword", is the key.
It seems that Xu Zhong's anti-crime action takes into account internal rectification and has a clear goal, but this "knife" aimed at himself is not without a threat to Zhao Lidong. Zhao Lidong may know this, but he is afraid that only he knows the definition of "his own person".
At the critical moment, Zhao Lidong's strategy was to pretend not to know, ostensibly ignoring everything, but he knew that something had to be done to meet the expectations of his superiors. Therefore, he chose to sacrifice Gao Qiqiang to protect himself, which seemed wise"Abandon the car to protect the handsome"。
However, Zhao Lidong did not expect that such a decision would become a trap set by him, and instead it would become an act of self-digging.
After Gao Qiqiang was betrayed, he decided to make Zhao Lidong pay the price, and Zhao Lidong's decision also put him in a difficult situation. After losing his political asylum, he inadvertently touched on the discontent of more people, and the result was a two-pronged situation.
In fact, Zhao Lidong may not have fully understood Xu Zhong's true intention of coming to Jinghai, he mistakenly thought that it was a crackdown on the underworld, but he ignored the follow-up key link - the internal purge of the political and legal system.
