In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 75 South China Sea Reaction
"Uncle Liu, why are you talking so strangely?"

"It's nothing, I'm just amazed that you've really grown up and can do things so flawlessly."

Lin Zhiyan noticed the subtle difference.

Today, Liu Ye's tone was clearly off, as if she were getting married.

What else can be done flawlessly?
Didn't I just scold myself yesterday? I said she didn't know the importance of things and didn't understand the principle that a wise person doesn't stand under a dangerous wall.

Even if they are acting in accordance with federal regulations, the elders are still unwilling to see the younger generation take risks.

He said, "Yesterday, the special task force filed a lawsuit with the Dali General Headquarters of Nankai Province, aiming to overthrow the entire leadership team of Fang City."

"I am very pleased that you have such strong determination and ability, but you should also inform me first."

More than feeling troubled, Liu Hanwen felt gratified.

What the Federation needs most right now is this kind of official. If every task force could investigate thoroughly like this, and had the ability to do so, the Federation would be much more peaceful.

Lin Zhiyan has lived up to the expectations of her father and grandfather.

"What are you saying, Mr. Liu?"

Lin Zhiyan was even more confused; she couldn't understand a word of it.

They acted as if they had done something great, and even Master Liu admired them greatly.

But yesterday she went to a high-end restaurant for a meal, then went shopping at the mall and came back.

"Girl, are you even trying to fool Master Liu now?"

"Mr. Liu, I really didn't. What did I do?"

After a moment of silence, the two realized the problem.

Liu Hanwen confirmed, "So you didn't do this?"

Lin Zhiyan also confirmed: "Yesterday, the task force filed a lawsuit against the entire Fangchenggang City?"

"They applied for the arrest of the city's police chief. If not, who did it? Does anyone in the task force have that kind of power?"

Liu Hanwen's voice sounded even more confused.

Could it really have been done by a lowly border guard officer?

A handsome and resolute face appeared in Lin Zhiyan's mind.

It's almost a no-brainer; only Lu Zhao could do it, and only Lu Zhao would dare to do it.

He doesn't even eat beef, so why would he be afraid of the city authorities?

"Master Liu, do you remember the person I recommended to you?"

"You mean he did it?"

Liu Hanwen's tone became somewhat stern as he asked:
"What is his background? Why is he causing trouble at this time? Who sent him?"

Lin Zhiyan said, "Master Liu, if I said it's highly likely he did it himself, would you believe me?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, clearly indicating disbelief.

The chain of evidence that allows a lawsuit against a federal official of that rank could not have been a spur-of-the-moment decision; Lu Zhao had planned it all along.

But where did he, a mere captain, get the audacity to brandish a knife at a federal commissioner and openly challenge the Chen family's power group?
If it weren't for the time they spent together, Lin Zhiyan would have also suspected that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Now she felt that Lu Zhao's audacity stemmed from her underestimation of him, and that she believed he had already yielded.

Liu Hanwen sighed and said, "Since things have come to this, you should go and stop him. Don't let him continue investigating."

The phone hangs up.

Lin Zhiyan got up, dressed, and left the room in a hurry without even putting on makeup.
-
Liu Hanwen, who was far away in Cangwu City, Nanhai East Road, sent his secretary with information about Lu Zhao.

Because Lin Zhiyan mentioned it twice, he was transferred to the special task force again. Liu Hanwen himself didn't remember, but his secretary had already backed up Lu Zhao's identity and background.

Soon, the information was delivered to Liu Hanwen.

Lu Zhao was not the 'instigator behind the scenes' he had expected; on the contrary, he was a peasant boy who was being bullied by the Chen family.

The secretary asked doubtfully, "How did he obtain so much information?" "There are no secrets in the world. Even scandals involving Zhuge Liang can be leaked, let alone a small city like Fang. He doesn't hide many things himself, so why would he be afraid that others don't know?"

Liu Hanwen stared at Lu Zhao's resume for a long time, and then looked through his past achievements.

This perfectly confirms what he said.

Many things can be kept secret, but many people are unwilling to even bother to cover them up.

The key is not knowing, but whether you dare to do it and whether you have the ability to do it.

Liu Hanwen still found it hard to believe that a farm boy with no background would dare to do such a thing.

"Go and investigate further."

"Yes."

"Put aside the Dali General Command's lawsuit for now, but suspend the arrest proceedings against Fangshi City Enforcement."

"Yes."

"Protect Lu Zhao, don't let him get dismissed."

Liu Hanwen stated firmly, "I don't care what they do behind the scenes, but what they do in the open must be subject to the rules."

Subjectively, Liu Hanwen did not want the market to go into chaos at this critical juncture, but objectively, the legal system needed to be maintained.

Power must yield to the system, and all matters that are in the open must be resolved in a dignified manner through the system.

The news quickly spread to the ears of the top figures in Nankaido, but the scope was limited to the bureaucracy.
-
Nankaido, Cangwu Castle, Finance and Taxation Bureau.

In the wake of the catastrophe, the federal bureaucracy and power structure underwent several reforms.

The shift from centralized to decentralized power, and from the greatest power in personnel matters to the greatest power in the military, has led to the decline of some positions and the meteoric rise of others.

For example, the household registration department was originally an affiliated agency under the public security system. However, after the federal government introduced the term "foreign state" and established the distinction between citizens and citizens of the state, its power expanded hundreds of times in an instant.

After a series of changes in production structure and economic situation, the Federation merged household registration and finance, forming the third largest department of the Federation after personnel and military.

The General Directorate of Finance, Taxation and Household Registration held supreme power over economic and household registration matters, and governed all foreign territories.

The chief administrative officer of the Finance, Taxation and Household Registration Department was usually the deputy director of the Circuit Administration Bureau, which meant he was the second-in-command of the Circuit.

The Chief of the Bureau of Political Affairs holds personnel authority, and some powerful Chiefs also serve as Legion Commanders. If a Chief does not concurrently hold the position of Legion Commander, then the Legion Commander becomes the second-in-command.

Nankaido is an exception, because its population is in the hundreds of millions, and the Director-General of Finance, Taxation and Household Registration is always the second-in-command.

The current Chief Executive Officer of the General Administration of Finance, Taxation and Household Registration is Chen Yunming.

Boom boom boom!
Chen Yunming's secretary knocked on the office door somewhat urgently.

"Please come in."

A somewhat deep voice came from behind the door. The secretary pushed open the door and said, "Boss, something has happened in Fangshi."

Behind the desk, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit jacket sat quietly.

He has a thin face, deep-set eyes, obvious nasolabial folds, and dark purple eye bags, giving him a rather cold and gloomy appearance.

Although he appears quite stern, his subordinates all agree that Chen Wuhou is a good leader. He is extremely tolerant of his subordinates and rarely punishes them, even when they make mistakes.

"Didn't we already agree on this?"

Chen Yunming frowned slightly.

A few days ago, he reached a consensus with Liu Hanwen to minimize the impact on the market and avoid giving others cause for criticism.

"The task force has filed a lawsuit against the Fangshi Municipal Enforcement Bureau and is applying for the arrest of Zhao De. I have already confirmed with Secretary Liu (Liu's secretary) that this was not authorized by them."

The secretary's methodical response indicated that she had prepared her report beforehand.

Federal secretaries are often an extension of the executive officer's power; theoretically, their power is as great as the executive officer's.

“I used some of my connections and learned that the person currently leading the task force is a border guard captain named Lu Zhao.”
