Spy wars start with lurking Secretary Hong

Chapter 559 You want to have a showdown with me?
Lu Ming pointed to the schoolbag and asked slowly, "Qian... Xiao Cong, um, is this schoolbag yours?"

Qian Xiaocong puffed out his chubby chest and held his chin high.

"Yes!"

Lu Ming wore a kind smile and roughly circled the pile of snacks, picture books, and flyers on the table with his finger.

"Are all of these yours too?"

“That’s right!” Qian Xiaocong said, looking annoyed. “My mom packed all of these for me. Why are you asking so many questions? Aren’t you annoying?”

Lu Ming's eyes lit up.

He leaned forward slightly, coaxing, "Are you sure your mother put all of these up for you?"

"Of course!" Qian Xiaocong's tone was full of the superiority of a rich kid. "My family has everything. My parents stuff whatever they can get their hands on into my schoolbag!"

"That's right."

Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction, then slowly posed another question:
"Please tell me again, did your mom or your dad pack all these things for you?"

"You're so long-winded!" Qian Xiaocong finally lost his patience. "My schoolbag was definitely packed by my parents, who else could it be?"

Lu Ming's smile deepened as he pressed on, "So, your father also has a share in these things?"

"Of course!"

To prove he was telling the truth, Qian Xiaocong proudly pointed to the bag of imported biscuits, "These are the ones my dad put in yesterday!"

Lu Ming's smile was as radiant as a blooming chrysanthemum:
"Excuse me, what's your father's name?"

“My dad is Qian Bai, the chief of the Daowai Police Station!” Qian Xiaocong said proudly.

Snapped!
Lu Ming snapped his fingers decisively and pressed the stop button on the tape recorder.

He walked up to Hong Zhiyou and waved the recorder in his hand: "The evidence is conclusive."

“Qian Bai and his wife both participated in the red ticket promotion campaign. I think they should be detained and interrogated first.”

Hong Zhi laughed: "You're quite skilled with the tape recorder."

Lu Ming smiled awkwardly and took the opportunity to complain: "Hey, in our line of work, whether it's black or white depends entirely on your words. Without some special skills, you can't survive at all."

He leaned closer, his voice lower, filled with grievance.

"Take the interrogation of Ma Kui and Zhou Xi for example. It was clearly Deputy Director Liu's idea, but in the end, he insisted on pinning the blame on me, making me look bad to you, my brother."

"Thankfully, Zhou Xi is alright. Otherwise, you'd see, I'd be the one to take the blame for being the 'sole person in charge' again."

Hong Zhi had an "I understand" look on his face and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Those three simple words brought Lu Ming a sense of relief.

He turned around, full of energy, and held up the flyer in his hand, addressing the stunned Li Qing and Zhai Jiao:
"Gentlemen, open your eyes and look! What is this? Do you still dare to say that no one in your school hands out flyers?"

Li Qing and Zhai Jiao each took a card with trembling hands, and after just one glance, they were both stunned.

Red ink, glaring slogans—if this were to become a reality, not only the principal, but the entire school would be doomed!
Zhai Jiao instantly realized that Qian Xiaocong was in big trouble.

She shrieked, "Aren't you talking nonsense? He's just a child! What does he know!"

Lu Ming sneered, his eyes sweeping over her with disdain: "He's a child, but his mother and father aren't children either."

Zhai Jiao puffed out her chest indignantly and said, "What do you mean? Don't think that just because you're police officers you can bully children here!"

"I'm telling you, there's no way here in Daowai."

“Bullying a child?” Lu Ming thought he had heard the biggest joke in the world. “The evidence is conclusive, and he himself admitted it. It was his parents who did it.”

"I think you're not only all looks and no brains, but your hearing isn't very good either, is it?"

Her cheeks flushed with anger, and she turned to Hong Zhiyou to complain, "Officer Hong! How can your colleague have such a foul mouth? Aren't you going to do anything about him!"

Hong Zhi leaned against the door frame and slowly said, "Teacher Zhai, first of all, let me correct one point: he is my peer, so I can't control him."

"Secondly, what he said is true. We were also acting impartially."

Seeing that the little puppy wasn't on her side, Zhai Jiao got anxious and pointed at Qian Xiaocong, shouting, "Did you just hear that his father is Director Qian Bai!"

She adopted a magnanimous attitude.

"Alright, for your sake, I'll let it go. Tell him to get lost!"

Hong Zhi shook his head, his tone becoming serious: "Teacher Zhai, distributing flyers privately and colluding with prostitutes are serious crimes. It's our duty, we must take this chubby boy away."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaocong completely exploded.

He jumped up from his seat, pointed at Hong Zhiyou and Lu Ming's noses and cursed, "You're nothing but two dogs raised by my dad, how dare you arrest me?"

"Teacher Zhai, quick! Call my dad right now and have them arrested!"

Zhai Jiao looked at Hong Zhiyou with disappointment and disdain in her eyes: "You don't seem stupid, so why are you so stubborn?"

"You dare arrest Director Qian's son? Don't you even know where you are? This is Daowai!"

Lu Ming glanced at Hong Zhiyou, and seeing that he didn't object, he smiled and stepped forward:
"What if I absolutely have to arrest someone today?"

"Hmph!" Zhai Jiao sneered disdainfully, "Principal Li, what are you still standing there for?"

"Call Director Qian right now!"
"If Xiao Cong loses even a single hair here, he'll rip your head off!"

Li Qing shuddered in fright and looked to Hong Zhiyou for help.

Hong Zhi nodded in agreement: "That's true. These days, there are scammers who impersonate the director's family members. It's better to make a call to verify."

After saying that, he gestured with his chin towards Lu Ming.

Lu Ming immediately understood and hurriedly followed Li Qing to the office.

He knew very well that this was an opportunity given to him by Section Chief Hong, and he had to seize it.

Although he still didn't understand why Hong Zhi, a big shot of his caliber, would suddenly come to Daowai and make a fuss about Qian Bai, a middling director and his son.

But you don't need to understand what those in power are thinking; you only need to execute their orders.

Lu Ming followed them into the principal's office.

Only Hong Zhiyou and Zhai Jiao remained in the classroom corridor.

Zhai Jiao crossed her arms, walked up to Hong Zhiyou, and pointed at his nose from a superior position.

"Officer Hong, I'm warning you, you're doing something extremely stupid."

You are offending someone you can never afford to mess with.

"In this world, you can't do whatever you want just because you have a little money."

She looked Hong Zhiyou up and down, her eyes filled with a hint of pity for his misfortune and anger at his lack of ambition.

"Sister will teach you today: in this world, money alone is not enough, you also need power!"
"You're just a lowly police officer, how dare you mess with the chief? Aren't you being used as a pawn?"

As she said this, a hint of self-satisfied charm flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Hmph, if it weren't for your good looks and the fear that you'd suffer a great loss, I wouldn't bother talking to you like this. Little brother, be more careful."

Hong Zhiyou smiled politely and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, dear sister."

……

Daowai Police Station, Chief's Office.

Qian Bai was leaning back in his large leather chair, comfortably sipping his finest Longjing tea.

A few days ago, he visited Liu Zhenwen and presented him with ten heavy gold bars.

Deputy Director Liu immediately made the decision: when the personnel were adjusted later, he would transfer him to Daoli District as the director.

The difference between the outside and the inside of the path is like the difference between heaven and hell.

Daoli is the most prosperous area in Harbin, a place rife with lucrative opportunities.

Thinking of this, Qian Bai felt particularly cheerful.

The future looks very bright!

Moreover, just yesterday, a young owner of a newly opened casino in Daowai used his connections to find him and become his godfather. From now on, the monthly tributes alone will amount to a considerable sum.

The fireplace in the room was burning quite brightly. Qian Bai unbuttoned his collar and felt a wave of heat.

He picked up the phone, his first instinct being to call Zhai Jiao and ask her to come to his office to "cool him down."

That stupid woman, while not exactly a stunning beauty, had a hot body and was good in bed.

Most importantly, by serving him, you also get to take care of his precious son, and it doesn't cost much a month. It's an incredibly worthwhile experience.

Just as Qian Bai was about to dial, the phone on the table rang urgently.

He took it. "Principal Li, it's me."

"What did you say?"

"Xiao Cong got into trouble? Are the police from Daoli?"

Qian Bai's tone suddenly rose.

"You hurry up and find out who they are! They're blind as to mess with me! You wait, I'm coming right now!"

He slammed down the phone, his face ashen.

Qian Bai suddenly pulled open the drawer, grabbed his sidearm from inside, and skillfully chambered a round.

He put on a heavy leather coat and a hat, exuding anger, and strode into the outer hall.

"Listen up! All officers, assemble!"

He shouted downstairs.

Soon, police whistles sounded throughout the courtyard, and dozens of policemen rushed out in a chaotic manner to form a line.

Qian Bai stood on the steps, his face gloomy, his gaze sweeping over the bewildered faces below.

"Brothers, all of you carry guns, come with me to No. 20 Middle School!"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment, but no one dared to disobey the chief's orders, and they all ran back to get their guns.

A few minutes later, several police cars sped out of the police station compound.

In the car, Li Xiong, the head of the action section who was driving, asked cautiously, "Boss, what happened? Why are you making such a big fuss? Are you going to arrest some corrupt officials?"

"What kind of red ticket are you grabbing!"

Qian Bai cursed irritably.

"There are two clueless guys in the neighborhood who say that Xiao Cong is handing out flyers at school and they want to arrest him!"

"This is outrageous!"

Li Xiong frowned: "Something's not right."

"How did Daoli's hand get into our territory? Even if someone was handing out flyers, why is Xiao Cong being blamed?"

"Who doesn't know that Xiao Cong is your son? These guys must have a death wish!"

Qian Bai lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"That's something I just can't understand."

Li Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Chief, didn't another batch of police academy graduates come down from above recently?"
"These people have become dulled by their studies at the police academy; they only know the rules and are stubborn. I guess they've run into some hotheads like this."

“You should have just taught them a lesson in the past, there was no need to get so angry.”

"If all else fails, shall I call Chief Qin of the Daoli Police Station and ask?"

"Hmph, I won't fight!" Qian Bai sneered. "This guy surnamed Qin walked right into my line of fire!"

"I'm about to fill his vacancy, let's teach him a lesson first!"
"When we get there, arrest them and throw them in the police station to wait it out! If you want them, have that Qin guy come to me personally!"

Li Xiong nodded quickly: "Yes, Director."

The convoy sped along and soon arrived at the entrance of No. 20 Middle School.

Click.

Qian Bai pushed open the car door, raised his gun high in his right hand, and was the first to rush into the campus.

Li Xiong and dozens of others drew their guns and followed closely behind him.

The teachers and students along the way were terrified by the sight and huddled in their classrooms, not daring to come out.

We reached the corner on the third floor.

Li Qing and Zhai Jiao were already waiting there, and the two hurried over to greet them.

Li Qing said, trembling, "Director Qian, you... you can't do this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Bai slapped him hard across the face.

"You bastard, you've got some nerve!"
"I entrusted my son to your school, and you can't even keep an eye on him, letting in any Tom, Dick, or Harry!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and poked Li Qing's forehead hard.

"I think you're getting senile!"

He spoke very loudly, deliberately speaking so that those two clueless guys in the classroom could hear.

Li Qing was already old, and the slap left him dizzy and seeing stars; he dared not utter a word.

Mudd!

He stopped trying to persuade him.

Qian Bai has always been arrogant and domineering; he deserves to suffer today.

When Zhai Jiao saw Qian Bai arrive, she immediately went up to him, wiping away her tears and complaining, "Director Qian, they bullied me and Xiao Cong!"

Qian Bai asked arrogantly, "Didn't you state my identity?"

Zhai Jiao cried out, "I reported it, but they won't acknowledge it!"

"Oh ho!" Qian Bai laughed in exasperation. "Anyone in Harbin who doesn't acknowledge me? I'd like to see just how amazing these policemen from Daoli are!"

As he spoke, he pushed Zhai Jiao aside and led her to the classroom door.

Hong Zhiyou and Lu Mingzheng stood side by side by the window behind them, smoking and talking, with their backs to them.

The fire in Qian Bai's heart shot up to the top of his head.

These two bastards!

I was yelling like thunder, and they still dared to act all calm and smoke? They clearly don't respect me!
He stormed off with Li Xiong.

"Hey……"

Two steps away, Qian Bai was about to explode.

Lu Ming turned around and said with a surprised look, "Oh, Old Qian really came."

Qian Bai was taken aback.

"Old Lu?"

He immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Section Chief Lu, what do you mean? Is the Ideological Section doing nothing but coming to the primary school to make a name for themselves?"
"They've even started messing with my son! What, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

The position of the director of a local branch office is equivalent to that of the head of a department within the National Police Agency, and they are also assigned to sections and offices.

In particular, the regional police chiefs of major districts like Daoli and Daowai usually wield more real power than the general section chiefs of the police department, except for the Special Affairs Section.

Lu Ming was merely the head of a section under the Special Service Department, still a head shorter than Qian Bai.

He naturally didn't need to give Lu Ming any face.

Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Old Qian, look at what you're saying. I'm just doing my job. Besides, the evidence of your son's pass is irrefutable."

"We are all police officers, enforcing the law impartially. Please understand, brother. Come with me to the police station."

Qian Bai laughed when he heard this.

He was known in Harbin for extorting money and demanding bribes, even though he was supposed to be impartial in enforcing the law.

"Why do those four words sound so sour coming from your brother's mouth?"
"Fine, so you're going to arrest me too?"

"Alright, in that case, there's no point in talking about our friendship anymore."

Qian Bai tapped Lu Ming's chest, his attitude extremely arrogant.

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Men, take them back to the station."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Xiong and his men rushed forward menacingly.

Lu Ming clicked his tongue a few times, "Old Qian, you're impressive, you even dared to arrest people from the Special Service Section."

Qian Bai sneered, "I suspect you guys are handing out flyers on campus. Sorry, bro, I'm just doing my job, just like you."

With that, he waved his hand and said, "Take him away."

Lu Ming shrugged and shook his head, turning his gaze to Hong Zhiyou beside him.

Hong Zhi flicked the cigarette butt from between his fingers, smoke slowly billowing from his mouth and nose. He turned around, adjusted his shirt collar, and grinned:
"Director Qian, you brought so many people with you."

"very good.

"Looks like you want to have a go at me."
