CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Zhong Xiaoai's brows remained furrowed.

Seeing this, Xu Zhong, who was standing to the side, also became a little nervous.

after all……

Although we now have evidence, the next step is definitely to send Zhao Lidong to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

However, the director of the municipal bureau, Cheng Du, may very well have some dealings with Zhao Lidong.

Such a person, who was temporarily transferred here, is simply not trustworthy!

Thinking this, Xu Zhong slowly opened his mouth and cautiously asked, "Director Zhong, are you thinking about the interrogation...?"

Zhong Xiaoai nodded slightly: "Mm."

“Chengdu is unreliable. I hope Meng Dehai can interrogate him personally.”

As Zhong Xiaoai finished speaking, Xu Zhong's face immediately showed a hint of surprise: "Director Zhong, it's good that Meng Dehai is here to interrogate, and this was a case that Meng Dehai handled before, but... this doesn't follow the proper procedures."

Zhong Xiaoai rubbed her temples: "I know."

“Transferring cases across departments requires at least a personal order from a leader at the provincial governor level or above, but what do you think…”

As she spoke, Zhong Xiaoai sneered, "Zhao Lidong has been acting arrogantly for so long, is the governor of Linjiang Province reliable?"

Xu Zhong fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Then... what should we do now?"

……

the other side.

The fifth interchange.

Secretary Wang sat in the car, his palms gradually becoming sweaty.

transit group ⑧⑨③⑨⑥④④⑥0

Seeing the vehicles clearly blocking the road ahead, Secretary Wang knew something was seriously wrong.

Soon, someone came over and knocked on Secretary Wang's car window.

Secretary Wang vaguely knew that he couldn't escape today, so he could only sigh and open the car window.

"Wang Liang, right?"

Tang Xiaolong stood beside the car, hands in his pockets, and spoke.

Secretary Wang's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat as he stared at Tang Xiaolong in front of him: "Who are you, and what do you want?"

"If you keep blocking the way, I'm calling the police!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaolong immediately sneered: "Call the police?"

"Sure, you're welcome anytime."

"Wang Liang, we're not the ones afraid of calling the police, you are, aren't you?"

"You can choose not to hand over the items, but then the entire Fifth Interchange will be congested, and the police will come."

As Tang Xiaolong finished speaking, Secretary Wang subconsciously swallowed.

But Tang Xiaolong wasn't in the mood for long talk and quickly said, "Hand over the recording pen."

“We’ll selectively hand over evidence, and you and Zhao Lidong will die a more dignified death.”

"If the recording pen falls into the hands of the police... then it won't be such a simple matter!"

now.

Secretary Wang felt a chill in his palms, swallowed hard, and remained silent for a long time.

Having followed Zhao Lidong for so many years, I know that the things I did were indeed not clean.

But I never expected this day to come so early...

To pay or not to pay?

Handing it over is tantamount to betraying Zhao Lidong.

But if we don't hand it over, the other people implicated by this recording will make things very difficult for me and Zhao Lidong!

Even family members...

Secretary Wang gritted his teeth and finally put his hand into his pocket.

His expression also became haggard almost instantly, as if he had aged considerably.

"Huang Cuicui's voice recorder is here..."

Chapter 129 Inter-provincial Appointment, What Level?

now.

In the fried chicken shop near the No. 1 Kindergarten in Jinghai City.

It was getting dark outside.

The usually bustling shops are now packed with customers, but unlike usual, there's something different about them.

Apart from Huang Yanjun and Gao Qilin's table, which had Gao Yue and Huang Ziqi, there wasn't a single child in the entire restaurant.

The people who came to eat were all strong and vigorous young men, each with a somewhat thuggish air about them.

The staff, seeing the scene, were even a little frightened. They all kept their eyes down, obediently preparing their own meals, not daring to look at the food for even a second.

Huang Yanjun couldn't help but laugh: "Qilin, look how scared the people you brought are."

Gao Qilin waved his hand helplessly: "They are all construction site managers under my name. They spend every day on the construction site with a bunch of old men. They certainly don't seem like good people."

"When the work on the construction site slows down, I plan to send them all to business school to study, so they don't grow up to be so thuggish."

Huang Yanjun smiled and said, "That's good too. It can protect you and Xiaoyue's safety. It's good to have a few people like that around."

Gao Qilin smiled and said, "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Qilin's phone rang.

Gao Qilin picked it up and saw that it was a message from Tang Xiaolong.

"Brother Qilin, we've got the stuff. We're taking Wang Liang to the Municipal Public Security Bureau now."

Gao Qilin breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Huang Yanjun.

"Mr. Huang, can we go now? Shall I take you home?"

Huang Yanjun nodded: "Let's go, Ziqi and I will hitch a ride with you."

"By the way, about this matter... could I tell Meng Dehai about it?"

Gao Qilin had a faint smile on his face.

"of course."

"You can also tell Uncle Meng that he needs to prepare to return to the Municipal Bureau and personally interrogate Zhao Lidong."

As Gao Qilin finished speaking.

Huang Yanjun looked up in astonishment: "What...does this mean?"

“Meng Dehai has already been transferred to the position of district head, so it’s impossible for him to return to the municipal bureau to take over Zhao Lidong’s case, unless…”

Gao Qilin smiled and replied, "Unless a leader of the same rank as the governor requests Meng Dehai to take over Zhao Lidong's case."

"It's not impossible, after all, Uncle Meng was in charge of Zhao Lidong's case from the beginning."

Huang Yanjun frowned deeply: "But... how is this possible?"

"The governor of Linjiang Province may not help you."

Gao Qilin shook his head: "We don't need the governor of Linjiang Province."

"Old Huang, you haven't forgotten, have you? Our Capital Investigation Team's Team Leader Zhong... In addition to his outstanding abilities, he also has a very powerful backer."

"Team Leader Zhong's father is no ordinary person."

“Zhong Xiaoai genuinely wants to bring down Zhao Lidong, this big parasite. How could she trust someone like Cheng Du, who was inexplicably parachuted in, to handle Zhao Lidong’s case?”

……

the other side.

On the highway, inside a car.

At that moment, Zhong Xiaoai took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Dad, I need to talk to you about something."

"...Of course I know! But to arrest someone like Zhao Lidong, who is at the mayor level, we have to act quickly. I suspect that the current municipal bureau has connections with Zhao Lidong, and I don't trust him."

"Who? It's Cheng Du, transferred from Handong Province."

"Yes, the person who was originally in charge of this case was the current district head, Meng Dehai."

"Hmm, when will the transfer be finalized at the earliest? Is today possible?"

"Dad, please do me this favor. It's rare for me to ask you for help..."

I don't know what the other person said next.
