656: Chapter 656 will be added tomorrow.

In fact, Sa Deli knew better than anyone that he was inherently unwilling to get involved in the inspection of the Samo Star Cluster at this critical juncture.

He had served as the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee here for many years, enforcing discipline with an iron fist and investigating many cases of misconduct; he had offended no small number of people, both openly and secretly.

With this large-scale inspection, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't take the opportunity to jump out and stir up trouble, deliberately sabotaging things or finding ways to frame him and smear his name.

If it really came to that, even if he had a clear conscience, he would inevitably end up in the awkward position of 'getting yellow mud on your pants—if it's not shit, it's still shit,' unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Milky Way.

But as long as he took the initiative to completely recuse himself—not touching anything, not speaking up, and not interfering—leaving all issues to the outside comrades in the inspection team to handle according to the rules, then no matter what was found or who was dealt with, it would have nothing to do with him. The inspection team could also proceed fairly according to laws and procedures, and no one would be able to find any fault.

When Li Yang heard this crisp and straightforward statement, the tense expression on his face relaxed considerably, and the originally serious atmosphere instantly softened.

He nodded, his tone much lighter, even speaking with a hint of a joke.

“Good, with those words from you, I can rest completely easy. But let me put the ugly words first: once this stage of the mission in the Samo Star Cluster is successfully completed, you must follow along for the inspection work of the other star clusters later. Don't think about taking the opportunity to slack off and avoid work.”

Hearing this, Sa Deli also laughed heartily. The previous bit of restraint vanished completely, and his eyes were full of drive.

“Haha, Team Leader Li, please rest assured! When the time comes, I guarantee I'll be at the forefront without any hesitation. No matter what, I'll drag out a few more corrupt officials hiding in the shadows and put more effort into the inspection team!”

...Two days passed in a flash amidst intense and orderly preparations, and the much-anticipated national comprehensive inspection action finally officially kicked off on the designated date.

The The 33rd Inspection Team, led by Li Yang, bore the brunt and set out first, officially entering the Samo Star Cluster and launching an all-round, dead-end-free, and full-coverage special inspection and inspection work.

According to the recusal plan agreed upon earlier, Sa Deli and all local inspection team members born in the Samo Star Cluster were collectively placed in a dedicated office area prepared in advance by the inspection team. Throughout the process, they did not participate in, contact, or interfere with this inspection mission targeting the local area.

To completely eliminate the risk of personal interference, secret tips, and internal-external collusion, the inspection team made extremely strict regulations.

During the inspection of the Samo Star Cluster, Sa Deli and others were not only forbidden from leaving the designated office area without authorization but were also temporarily restricted from external communication. All private channels, Galaxy calls, and information transmissions were suspended, cutting off all possible illegal channels at the source, leaving those with ill intentions who tried to find loopholes or pull small tricks with absolutely no opportunity.

The entire inspection work proceeded seriously and efficiently. The inspection team members performed their respective duties, going down to the front lines, reviewing ledgers, verifying data, and conducting visits and symposiums. Every process was executed strictly according to regulations, and every link was made open, transparent, and verifiable.

During the full three days of the inspection, the Thirty-Third Inspection Team conducted a detailed audit of the Samo Star Cluster's government operations, disciplinary style, fund usage, and cadre performance.

It was unclear whether it was thanks to Sa Deli's initiative to completely recuse himself, which reduced personal interference in the inspection work, or if the Samo Star Cluster was already orderly and clean under Sa Deli's years of strict disciplinary management, but throughout the entire round of inspections, no major violations of discipline or law were discovered.

No 'big fish' hiding deep were caught either; only a few minor issues with non-standard procedures and inadequate details were identified. The overall situation was far better than expected.

As the three-day inspection work was officially declared over, the inspection team announced on the spot the lifting of the temporary restrictive measures on Sa Deli and others.

After being under centralized management for three full days, Sa Deli and several local cadres finally regained their freedom and could go out, communicate, and participate in subsequent inspection tasks normally.

The office area, which had been suppressed for several days, also regained its former Life Qi, and everyone's hanging hearts finally settled completely.

Seeing Sa Deli walk out of the designated office area after the isolation was lifted, Li Yang immediately stopped his work and took the initiative to greet him, speaking with a gentle tone of condolence.

“You've worked hard these past few days, comrade Sa Deli.”

Sa Deli quickly took a step forward, his face carrying a hint of apology and respect as he hurriedly waved his hand in response.

“Team Leader Li is too polite; this is all what I should do, it's not hard work. By the way, after these three days of inspection, is the overall situation smooth? In the Samo Star Cluster... were any major problems found?”

Having regained his freedom, what he cared most about at this moment was the Samo Star Cluster, which he had headed for many years in the Discipline Inspection Commission. His voice hid an unmistakable tension and trepidation as his gaze fixed on Li Yang, waiting for the final result.

After all, as the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Samo Star Cluster, if serious corruption and disciplinary problems occurred within his jurisdiction, he would be the first to bear leadership responsibility—ranging from being held accountable at best to having his future ruined at worst. He couldn't help but be anxious.

Li Yang looked at his tense expression, nodded slightly, and gave an answer in a steady tone.

“Rest assured, the overall situation is very good. No major problems with bad influence occurred, and no key disciplinary personnel hiding away were dug out.”

After a short pause, he added another sentence.

“However, during the detailed audit process, a few small fish with violations were still caught, involving issues like work style and procedural omissions. They will be handled according to regulations later.”

Hearing these words, the heart that Sa Deli had held in his throat finally dropped back to its place. His tensed shoulders relaxed instantly, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

He secretly felt lucky; it seemed that those who usually opposed him or bore grudges were also intimidated by the majesty of the inspection team and didn't dare to jump out to stir up trouble or cause deliberate incidents at this juncture.

Seeing him relax, a faint smile appeared on Li Yang's face. He raised his hand and lightly patted Sa Deli's shoulder, arranging things in a crisp tone.

“Alright, you can let your heart rest. Go back and simply pack your personal belongings and prepare for departure. We must rush to the next inspection Galaxy immediately. During the current inspection, time is tight and the task is heavy; there can be no delay.”

Sa Deli immediately focused his mind, his expression turning solemn. He straightened his body and responded solemnly.

“Yes! Team Leader Li, I will prepare immediately and will definitely not delay the overall itinerary!”

...Since the national comprehensive inspection action was officially launched, time had flown by, and in the blink of an eye, a full month had passed.

During these intense and busy days, the The 33rd Inspection Team, personally led by Li Yang, had been constantly on the move, working day and night. With an efficient and rigorous style, they steadily advanced the inspection tasks and successively completed the full-coverage inspection and audit work for ten star clusters.

According to the overall deployment and task planning of this comprehensive inspection, the workload of ten star clusters just happened to reach one-tenth of the total goal, and the progress was steady and orderly.

Based on the current work rhythm and advancement efficiency, as long as this state was maintained—without accidents or major delays—it was estimated that in about a year, the entire massive inspection work could be completely and successfully concluded.

In the inspection team's temporary office, a member wearing a standard work uniform walked quickly to Li Yang, stood upright, and reported in a clear and powerful voice.

“Reporting to the Team Leader, all materials, audit records, problem lists, and handling opinions regarding the inspection of the Hualaguang Star Cluster have been fully organized and integrated. The files have been backed up and archived, and we can set out at any time.”

Li Yang's gaze swept over the neatly arranged inspection dossiers on the desk. He nodded slightly and issued instructions in a crisp and decisive tone.

“Very good. Notify all members to prepare for departure immediately. Check the navigation equipment and work gear. Once confirmed, set out immediately for the next target Galaxy.”

Looking back at the continuous operations over the past month, the results of the The 33rd Inspection Team could be considered very impressive.

Although during this period, no major corruption or disciplinary cases involving high levels or bad influences had been found, and no 'big fish' hiding very deep had been caught;

Under the meticulous audit, a group of grassroots and middle-level cadres with problems such as dereliction of duty, procedural violations, lax work styles, and minor corruption were investigated and dealt with one by one, and their numbers were not small.

These seemingly small problems were precisely related to the atmosphere and stability of grassroots governance. The inspection team's serious handling also played a powerful warning and deterrent role, sounding the disciplinary alarm for each star cluster and firmly establishing the majesty and credibility of the entire inspection team through each field audit.
