Zhang Wen's name

After questioning Chen Yanshi, the two went to Hou Liangping's ward. Since Hou Liangping had hit Chen Hai, Chen Hai was in another ward.

Hou Liangping immediately became excited upon seeing Lü Liang and Cheng Du.

"Chengdu, Lüliang, you must stand up for me! I'm the one who was bullied!"

Lü Liang and Cheng Du exchanged a glance, thinking, "Another shameless one."

"Hou Liangping, we have received a report that you are arbitrarily beating retired senior citizens."

Hou Liangping objected immediately, saying, "When did I hit an old comrade? Wang Fuzhen isn't an old cadre either."

"Chengdu, even though you're a police officer, don't try to frame me like that."

"Chen Yanshi said you beat up his whole family and your attitude was extremely bad."

"Chengdu, you actually believe what that old geezer Chen Yanshi says? Do you have any evidence? If you don't, I can sue you for defamation."

Cheng Du glanced at him and then pointed to the camera behind the curtains.

Hou Liangping was dumbfounded when he saw the camera; who was the idiot who installed it like that?

"Even if there were cameras, I would only admit it was a fight. Besides, would I have beaten him up if Chen Hai hadn't called me a gigolo?"

Cheng Du and Chen Hai exchanged a glance; this guy actually knows a lot about the law.

"Hou Liangping, what happened to Lu Yike beating you up? Why did she beat you up?"

Hou Liangping felt a surge of grief and indignation upon hearing this.

"I'm going to call the police too. That crazy woman, Lu Yike, beat me up like this."

"Hou Liangping, we will investigate later. First, tell us why she hit you and not someone else."

"I just called her an old woman, and she beat me up like this. Do you think there's no justice? Is there no law?"

"Alright, we'll investigate later. There's one more thing we'd like to ask: how did you know Chen Yanshi was suppressing Qi Tongwei?"

Hou Liangping was also furious after hearing this. It wasn't that he sympathized with Qi Tongwei, but that he had been deceived by Chen Yanshi's persona.

"I found this while I was researching. I discovered two assignment documents for Qi Tongwei. After looking at them carefully, I found that Qi Tongwei was initially assigned to work at the Provincial People's Court."

"Later, he was assigned to the Yantai Township Judicial Office. After a thorough investigation, I found that all the problems pointed to Chen Yanshi."

Cheng Du was furious after hearing this. Just because Qi Tongwei didn't have any powerful connections, did Chen Yanshi dare to change someone else's assignment at will?

"Hou Liangping, is this what you said that caused Chen Yanshi to faint, and that's why Chen Hai hit you?"

"Pretty much. Didn't you check the security camera footage? And now you're coming over to ask me."

Cheng Du smiled mysteriously after hearing this.

"Hou Liangping, this camera is not powered. Don't you think this is a hospital ward? Do you think the hospital would dare to turn it on?"

Hou Liangping was a little dumbfounded. "Chengdu, you damn bastard, you're so cunning!"

"Chengdu, Lüliang, I've told you everything I need to say. What are you going to do with me?"

"Hou Liangping, I don't know either. We still need to report it. I feel you won't be sentenced, but you might lose your position."

Hou Liangping felt like dying; damn it, Handong was truly his burial ground.

"Okay, I got it. I'll never come to Handong again. Nothing good ever comes here."

"Hou Liangping, is Chen Hai still in the hospital?"

Hou Liangping found it a bit strange. Chen Hai was beaten up, so why were you still investigating him?

"I think he's next door, but I'm not really sure."

"Then we'll be going now. Take good care of yourself and recover."

After saying this, the two went to Chen Hai's room.

Chen Hai was very happy to see the two of them.

"Lü Liang, Cheng Du, you have to stand up for me! Look at how badly I've been beaten. How am I supposed to face anyone now?"

"Chen Hai, I just went to Hou Liangping to question him. Your situation constitutes mutual fighting."

Chen Hai was furious after hearing this, and they started fighting.

"What? How did I end up fighting each other? I was the one who got beaten up. Have you ever seen people fighting each other while lying on the ground?"

Cheng Hai and Lü Liang laughed after hearing this.

"Chen Hai, we're sorry, we just couldn't help it."

"You two have gone too far. What's so funny? It's just getting beaten up."

"Alright, Chen Hai, let's put your fight issue aside for now. I'm here to investigate your violations."

Chen Hai became a little nervous after hearing this.

"Lü Liang, don't talk nonsense. I'm an honest and upright person. How could I possibly do anything illegal?"

Lü Liang sneered after hearing this.

"Chen Hai, let me help you remember. You still remember Wang Xiaoli, right?"

Upon hearing this name, Chen Hai's face turned pale.

"Lü Liang, I didn't mean it. You know I had just been promoted to section chief not long before, and I wanted to achieve something to impress my subordinates."

Lü Liang looked furious after hearing this.

"Chen Hai, I reminded you back then to protect Wang Xiaoli, but you still let her be bait. Are you even human? She's just a young girl in her early twenties."

"Chen Hai, you're a fucking murderer."

Seeing the murderous look in Lü Liang's eyes, Cheng Du immediately pulled him back, afraid that Chen Hai would get beaten up.

Chen Hai looked guilty upon hearing this.

"Lü Liang, I've sent most of my salary over the past few years to her family. I've tried my best to compensate them. I've also often reflected on this over the years. Do you think that if I had protected her back then, she wouldn't have been killed?"

Lü Liang had often provided relief to Wang Xiaoli's family over the years, and his mood improved considerably after hearing Chen Hai's words.

"Alright Chen Hai, we will report your problem, as well as the fact that your father promoted you illegally, I will also report that."

Hou Liangping, who was listening at the door, was dumbfounded. "Chen Hai, your family is really ruthless. At most, I violated the rules, but you actually caused someone's death."

Cheng Du and Lü Liang came out and looked at Hou Liangping at the door with surprise.

"Hou Liangping, what are you doing here? Your injury doesn't seem to have healed yet."

Hou Liangping looked embarrassed after hearing this.

"I'm not just feeling stuffy in my room, I'm just coming out for some fresh air."

"Hou Liangping, you have a good stroll, we're leaving now."

After seeing the two leave, Hou Liangping returned to his ward.

...................................................

Office of the Provincial Party Secretary.

Zhang Wen and Sha Ruijin remained silent as they looked at the reports submitted below.

"Secretary Sha, I believe this should be dealt with severely. How can such behavior be allowed to disregard the lives of the masses in order to gain merit?"

Sha Ruijin was also very angry after reading the report.

"Then let's assign Chen Hai to the Forestry Bureau of X Province as a tree planter."

"That's settled then. Hou Liangping was just fighting amongst himself, so let him return to X province."

"I think so too. Let Gao Yuliang worry about it."

"As for Chen Yanshi, Governor Zhang, what do you suggest we do?"

Zhang Wen glanced at Sha Ruijin, but decided to leave it to Sha Ruijin to handle.

Sha Ruijin took a deep breath and said.

"Then let Chen Yanshi move out of the hospital and have his retirement pension halved. Make him go to the cadre retirement home every week to write a self-criticism."

Zhang Wen laughed when he heard this. This old man was very concerned about his reputation. If he did this, people would laugh him to death.

"I agree. Also, Lu Yike arbitrarily beat up his superiors. I propose that he be demoted by half a rank. All hospitalization expenses for Chen Hai and Hou Liangping should be borne by Lu Yike."

Sha Ruijin nodded after hearing this.
