In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"Dakang, it's me."

After returning to the municipal party committee's residential compound, Ouyang Jing immediately dialed Li Dakang's number. "I've met with the anti-corruption bureau and told them what you and Executive Director Lin told me to say."

"Okay, sure!"

"I know I won't fall into their trap."

Li Dakang hung up the phone.

"Director Lin, thank you very much this time."

Li Dakang stood up, bowed deeply to the person opposite him, and expressed his gratitude.

"What are you doing? Sit down!"

Lin Zhiyuan laughed and said, "If you really want to thank them, go thank Comrade Lü Liang. If he hadn't informed us in advance, we wouldn't have been able to accurately grasp the timing of their visit."

"yes!"

Li Dakang nodded, then said indignantly, "This monkey from the Zhong family in Beijing doesn't know any rules. As the head of the anti-corruption bureau under Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lü, he didn't even inform his superiors about the interrogation."

"Absolutely outrageous!"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled, unconcerned.

Even with the approval of the gerbil poison, Ji Changming couldn't control the mischievous monkeys; how could Lü Liang possibly do it?

"It's normal for a monkey from the capital to be a bit domineering. After all, when you beat a monkey, you have to consider the monkey's owner's feelings."

Lin Zhiyuan continued reviewing the documents.

"But a monkey is a monkey. Even if he is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, he still cannot escape your Buddha's Palm."

Li Dakang sincerely said, "Fortunately, you broke the deadlock from the outside. Jiajia's tuition was indeed supported by Wang Dalu. Even if an IOU was later issued, it's still not a good look or easy to verify if it ended up in someone else's hands."

"And after you made your move."

"Jiajia's matter became an insurmountable taboo."

"This way, I feel less pressure."

"We still need to be careful."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't even look up, but reminded him, "If that monkey gets angry, it won't care about any rules."

"This matter is far from over."

"I understand, Governor Zhiyuan."

Li Dakang stood up again and said goodbye, "You go ahead with your work. There have been quite a few tourists from other places in Jingzhou lately, I'll go and keep an eye on things."

"good!"

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, "Remember to compare the tourists' intentions, distribution, and peak seasons with the tourism bureau, and then send the analysis report to Secretary Wanli simultaneously."

Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Hou Liangping and Lu Yike had just entered when Lü Liang blocked their way.

"What have you two been doing?"

"Now, do anti-corruption bureau staff no longer need to report to me, the deputy chief prosecutor in charge, when they go on field trips?"

Holding a thermos, Lü Liang said in a low voice, "Wang Dalu, the boss of Dalu Group, is a well-known outstanding entrepreneur and philanthropist in Jingzhou and even Handong. He pays taxes properly, operates in accordance with the law, and actively takes responsibility for society. How could you initiate an investigation against such an entrepreneur without my approval?"

"Hou Liangping, Lu Yike, is this the attitude you should have as organizational cadres?"

"Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lü, we naturally follow the proper procedures. This is the investigation order signed by Chief Prosecutor Ji."

Hou Liangping was already furious after being humiliated by Ouyang Jing, whom he looked down on. Now, being lectured by Lü Liang, who was also a deputy director-level official, only fueled his anger.

Hou Liangping simply shoved the investigation warrant into Lü Liang's hand, leaning forward as if he were the superior, "Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lü, may we begin the investigation now?"

Lü Liang's face was grim.

snort!

Hou Liangping led Lu Yike past them and headed straight for the interrogation room where Wang Dalu was being held.

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Liang, his face turning ashen, angrily rebuked the pairs of eyes staring at him.

He then turned and walked toward the prosecutor's office.

To the other members of the anti-corruption bureau, this scene was undoubtedly a complaint filed by Lü Liang after his defeat, but no one noticed the strange smile that flashed across his lips.

"Director Hou, you went too far just now."

Lu Yike reminded him, "After all, Lü Liang is a veteran of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and now he is the deputy chief prosecutor in charge of anti-corruption and anti-dereliction of duty. If this gets out of hand, he will lose face, and we will also suffer."

"I went to Lao Ji for his signature, but he didn't say anything."

Hou Liangping dismissed it with a smile, "Besides, Ouyang Jing clearly knew we were going, and I suspect he was the one who tipped us off."

Lu Yike did not refute.

Indeed, Ouyang Jing's reaction was too good, and her timing of their appearance was too precise. There must be a mole within the procuratorate.

The interrogation room door was opened.

Wang Dalu was sitting in the interrogation chair, but without handcuffs or a vest. The evidence was not yet conclusive, so the investigation and questioning could only be conducted in accordance with the law.

"Director Hou, Section Chief Lu!"

The three people, including Lin Huahua, who were being interrogated, quickly stood up to give up their seats.

"Wang Dalu, formerly the executive deputy county magistrate of Jinshan County and currently the chairman of Dalu Group, is that right?"

Hou Liangping sat down and immediately began the questioning session.

"Obviously, yes."

Wang Dalu leaned back comfortably in his chair.

"We have received a tip that you have engaged in long-term improper transactions with Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City. Please answer the following questions truthfully."

Hou Liangping said.

But there was a hint of impatience in his voice; he didn't like the other person's self-righteous attitude.

"ask!"

Wang Dalu raised his hand.

"First, please explain why your company's operating location is so similar to Li Dakang's transfer location? Second, why has your luxury villa been provided for Ouyang Jing's residence for an extended period? Third, the informant's report alleges that you gifted 25% of the shares and a villa to Li Dakang and his wife; does this constitute bribery?"

"Please answer the questions truthfully in turn. All testimonies will be clearly recorded."

"Can."

Wang Dalu nodded. "First of all, I do not deny that my business operations have long coincided with the location where Secretary Li works, because Secretary Li's presence ensures that I have equal competitive rights in the market. That's all. I have never directly or indirectly used Secretary Li's influence to illegally obtain any benefits."

"The second and third questions can be answered together."

"I did consider giving Secretary Li and his wife 25% of the shares, but not only Secretary Li, but also District Chief Yi Xuexi of Luzhou Development Zone."

"Because I was disciplined back then, the start-up capital for my business was 50,000 yuan that Secretary Li and District Chief Yi scraped together for me."

The two leaders did not seek any reward, but I have always kept that in mind. Therefore, after I have achieved success in my career, I plan to give them 50% of the original shares.

But they all firmly refused, not even asking for the 50,000 yuan I was borrowed.

Later, feeling uneasy, I approached Secretary Li's wife, Ouyang, and District Chief Yi's wife, Mao Ya, hoping to transfer the villa to them.

Both of them refused.

"But later, the relationship between Secretary Li and Ouyang deteriorated because Secretary Li was promoted to an important position and became increasingly busy, neglecting his family. As for Ouyang, although she was getting older, she still had the mindset of a young girl. In her early years, she followed Secretary Li around Jinshan County and suffered a lot. She felt that Secretary Li did not care about his family and daughter."

The conflict between the two continued to escalate.

Later, Jiajia went abroad to study, and the relationship between Ouyang and Secretary Li deteriorated again, so Ouyang simply moved out.

"But Ouyang is financially well-off, and to be honest, he's a bit picky about material things and isn't satisfied with his living environment. Dakang was also worried about Ouyang living alone, so he approached me and offered to rent the villa to Ouyang for temporary accommodation."

"Dakang's salary is not high, and he also needs to support Jiajia's study abroad. He couldn't come up with the money at the time, so he gave me IOUs for everything."

"The IOU is still at my home."

"We promise to transfer your monthly salary in installments after Jiajia completes her studies as repayment of the rental fees."

"Jiajia came back not long ago."

"I've received my first repayment from Dakang. Do you want to check it?"
