In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Meanwhile, Zhao Ruilong also learned from Liu Sheng that Li Kangjian was not clean, but he was still observing. Just like you said, he wouldn't feel at ease until Li Kangjian left.

Sha Ruijin has also started acting, and he's already planning to find someone from Beijing to replace Li Kangjian. Then Zhao Zhongxin and Hou Liangping will meet.

Hou Liangping invited Zhao Zhongxin to dinner!

"Brother Xin, no, my Governor!"

Hou Liangping said with a big smile, while Zhao Zhongxin smiled and waved his hand!

"What 'Governor'? How dare you speak like that! I am the acting governor of the people! Acting governor, no less! If Teacher Gao heard you say that, do you think he'd promote you?"

Upon hearing this, Hou Liangping quickly added!

"Don't do that, Brother Xin! We're brothers, you can't tell Teacher Gao! I was just saying, if you were in ancient times, you'd be a third-rank official! What era are you from? Uncle Zhao, your father, who would dare to take your hat off!"

"Haha, alright, alright, what do you want from me? You're not here to ask me to do some exotic stuff again, are you? Chen Qingquan told you it's to learn a foreign language, but the police call it visiting foreign prostitutes! And your sister-in-law is here. If she hears this, she might rip your head off!"

Zhao Zhongxin lit a cigarette and said with a smile, while Hou Liangping shook his head!

"Where are you going to solicit foreign prostitutes? I've told many people that it's called academic exchange. Does the Municipal Public Security Bureau handle cash transactions? No. Without cash transactions, can it be called prostitution? It's just Li Dakang and our Han University gang fighting each other. Li Kangjian just arrested his wife, and he arrested Professor Gao's secretary. Isn't that just revenge?"

Hou Liangping felt he hadn't done anything wrong. He couldn't possibly have gotten Chen Qingquan to come to his place for money; there was no cash transaction whatsoever. Could it be considered prostitution?

However, when Hou Liangping mentioned Li Kangjian, Zhao Zhongxin only mentioned him briefly!

"Why are you calling him by his first name? Ah Kang is our junior!"

Hou Liangping immediately said angrily!

"Brother Xin, I never expected Li Kangjian to be this kind of person. He actually threatened Cai Chenggong and extorted money from him. Is this something a law enforcement official would do?"

But when Zhao Zhongxin heard this, he felt like vomiting. You actually believed what you did? No cadre is soft-hearted, no one is clean!

"And, Brother Xin, let me tell you! I'm only telling you this, Li Kangjian wasn't exactly clean in Beijing! If Sha Ruijin hadn't transferred him to Handong, he probably would have gotten into trouble long ago!"

Seeing that Zhao Zhongxin didn't speak, Hou Liangping said mysteriously! Zhao Zhongxin almost laughed when he heard this, but after being a cadre for so many years, he had long since stopped showing his emotions. He coughed and said, "You, Hou Liangping, believe it? Good that you believe it."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Zhao Zhongxin said!

"Brother Xin, I heard that Li Kangjian is in Beijing, and he's been taking advantage of people for free. He's in the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and his problems are already huge. If it weren't for his family's influence, he would have been brought down long ago. Now I hear he's going to be transferred to a second-tier position. Sigh, having a good family makes all the difference. If it were me, I'd at least be in jail! At first, I thought it was Teacher Gao who transferred him. I really had bad luck in choosing him!"

Hou Liangping's words are indeed the truth! People from such family backgrounds, as long as they don't choose the wrong side, basically any mistakes they make will just result in them being relegated to the second line. There is no danger to their lives. They can continue to play music and dance, but they just have no future!

Zhao Zhongxin glanced at him and still said something!

"Monkey, are you sure? But Kang Jian is our junior after all. Let me see if I can help him out!"

Upon hearing Zhao Zhongxin's words, Hou Liangping panicked! If Zhao Zhongxin intervenes to protect Li Kangjian, Li Kangjian might not necessarily be in any danger. Doesn't that mean sending him to his death?

"No, Xin-ge, I know you value the friendship between classmates, but some people can't be protected. You've always told Tong-wei-ge to cherish his reputation! You need to cherish your reputation too! Protecting him will only tarnish your own image!"

Zhao Zhongxin smiled when he heard this. "Alright, you said those things yourself. Now that you're desperate, I'll have something to say to you too!"

"Liangping is thinking of me like this; only a true brother would say something like that! I understand!"

Hearing Zhao Zhongxin say this, Hou Liangping finally felt relieved. However, he didn't notice that Zhao Zhongxin was calling him Liangping instead of Monkey! He didn't sense the distancing from him at all!

"Of course, Brother Xin, ever since I met you, it's been..."

Hou Liangping then began to express his loyalty and heartfelt feelings, and Zhao Zhongxin nodded in agreement.

"Waiter! Bring a bottle of Feitian Moutai! Xiao Liu, go and pay the bill for the Moutai!"

Hou Liangping did not refuse, which was Zhao Zhongxin's consistent attitude: treating his younger brother to a meal. However, as mentioned before, Zhao Zhongxin only paid for the drinks, not the food!

After dinner, Zhao Zhongxin drove back in his car with the new license plate 00002. Meanwhile, Hou Liangping went out and made a phone call to Zhao Ruilong.

"Zhao Gou, uh, no, Ruilong! Li Kangjian has been placed under investigation, you can come back now!"

When Zhao Ruilong heard Hou Liangping call him "Zhao the Dog," he almost turned into a demon and was about to lose his temper. But when he heard Hou Liangping say that Li Kangjian had been placed under investigation, he was amused! It seems that his old man still has some influence in Beijing, even if it's just a nominal position.

"Okay, I'll take care of some things here and then come back! Arrange for me to see those minor celebrities from last time. Hong Kong is nice, but it's too small!"

Zhao Ruilong felt safe, and with his full stomach and warm clothes, he started to indulge in lust!

"I understand! But you have to pay for it yourself! Consider it my treat last time!"

Hou Liangping also said with a smile!

"Alright, stop nagging. I'll get my revenge this time, bro, we'll do it together!"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and cursed, then hung up the phone!

Meanwhile, in Beijing, Zhao Lichun has finally been able to breathe a sigh of relief. The pressure from the Zhong family has lessened considerably recently, and the Zhong family's son-in-law has also run into trouble, which seems to be being covered up.

Yes, Zhao Lichun was also misled by this news. Little did he know that this was all a scheme orchestrated for him by those above and below! They were just waiting to bring his son, Zhao Ruilong, back! The Zhong family had Zhao Lichun's Handong under their control!

As for whether Zhao Lichun is corrupt or something else, does it matter? Who is clean? Nobody is clean. Back when the Zhong family was trying to win you over, you looked down on the Zhong family, or perhaps you were observing. Now, the Zhong family has risen to power and is going to devour your Handong in one fell swoop! You won't even be given a chance to surrender; you, Zhao Lichun, have already been lured away from your prey! Not taking sides is your mistake! Thinking of hedging your bets? Sitting back and waiting for the fish to swim? Impossible! Even if the Zhong family's enemies from back then win, you, Zhao Lichun, will still end up in the same situation!
