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

"Zhou Zheng, this round of interrogation is over."

Hou Liangping's voice came through the equipment, "Ms. Ouyang Jing shall be detained in accordance with the law."

What a difficult woman!

Taking advantage of the situation, he used only the loan information he had to defeat all the officers of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau's First Investigation Division, excluding them all from the scope of his investigative authority.

What? Zhou Zheng too…

Zhou Zheng stated that at this point in time, he could be treated as if he were not a human being.

"Director Hou, Section Chief Lu..."

Lin Huahua and Chen Qunfang, who were suddenly involved in the case, were a little flustered and called out uneasily.

"you!"

Hou Liangping was trembling with anger.

The entire First Investigation Division was surprisingly composed of people with impressive backgrounds; they were easily wiped out by a single case.

"What are you pointing at!"

Lu Yike impatiently slapped away the other person's pointing hand, "You're just as useless, aren't you? You have an ambiguous relationship with Cai Chenggong."

"What do you mean by 'unclear'!"

Hou Liangping roared, "We're just childhood friends, the kind you don't see often."

"And what about you guys? What's going on?"

"Explain yourself!"

Hou Liangping was truly furious. He had finally managed to uncover evidence of Ouyang Jing's crimes, but no one could investigate it!

If this gets out, people will laugh at us.

"Lu Wucheng is my cousin. He raised me when I was a child."

Their sore spots were exploited.

Little Chili Lu Yike's expression also turned awkward. "I only knew that my uncle ran a small company, but I really didn't know that he also took out a bank loan and gave kickbacks."

"Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin is my uncle."

Lin Huahua raised her hand and said, "But I don't like visiting relatives. I don't even know which cousin married Dong Qing."

"We are a large family."

"Really, Director Hou."

"Since my grandfather's generation, the family has always lived in separate houses but not separate households. I have a dozen or so cousins ​​in my family."

Lin Huahua felt wronged, having inexplicably become a person to be avoided.

"I know that."

The usually capable Chen Qunfang twisted her fingers and said, "My grandfather was the chairman of the provincial association before he retired. In addition to my uncles and aunts, he also adopted several sons."

"Gu Beilou is one of them."

"He didn't study properly from a young age, hung out with shady characters, and corrupted several of his uncles. My grandfather cut off all ties with him as soon as he came of age."

These words shocked even those within the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Although the provincial association is considered a sinecure, it is still one of the four sets of leadership bodies, and one of the four ministerial-level bodies in a province at most.

Before the job transfer.

He is at least a full-time deputy secretary.

"Is your grandfather Chen Guohua, Old Chen?"

Lu Yike confirmed.

Chen Qunfang nodded.

"Alright!"

Hou Liangping felt a headache coming on. The backgrounds of these people were all incredibly powerful, especially Chen Qunfang. The Zhong family was unwilling to easily provoke such a senior figure.

"First, ensure that you are honest and upright; second, do not get involved in this case."

Hou Liangping had made up his mind. "Zhou Zheng, you'll be in charge of this next case."

"Director Hou..."

Zhou Zheng shuddered and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't be afraid!"

Hou Liangping patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder, "Your Director Lu and I can't participate directly, but we will guide you from behind the scenes. I will also assign people from the Second Division to assist you when it's critical."

"Okay...okay."

Zhou Zheng trembled as he agreed.

Since the leader has said so, what right does he have to say no?

"Director Hou, how should I proceed with my work?"

Zhou Zheng was filled with despair.

Are we going to investigate and verify the bribery evidence that Ouyang Jing provided?

He doesn't want to!

Didn't Lin Huahua say that her family separates into different rooms but not into separate households?

He spearheaded the case and arrested a cousin-in-law. Would the Lin family elders, who already disapproved of the relationship, still allow them to continue?

"Why investigate now?"

Hou Liangping chuckled. He knew there was something wrong with it. At best, it would tear the anti-corruption bureau apart; at worst, it would uncover a series of serious cases.

Upon hearing this...

Lu Yike and the other two looked visibly relaxed, but then they heard Hou Liangping say, "Not investigating now doesn't mean we won't investigate later. We work in anti-corruption, and anyone who violates laws and regulations or engages in bribery or accepting bribes is a subject of our investigation."

"Okay, Director Hou."

Lu Yike nodded, indicating that she understood.

This is to allow them to make timely severance and avoid getting involved.

Take advantage of the time difference.

As for concealing it, it's impossible to hide it. Ouyang Jing's testimony is crystal clear, and the person in charge of the Anti-Corruption Bureau now is Lü Liang, that old comrade with whom I don't get along.

"Alright, cheer up."

Hou Liangping clapped his hands to bring everyone's attention back, "We will further refine and solidify Ouyang Jing's chain of evidence and testimony, and then hand it over to Zhou Zheng for prosecution."

"We must move on to the next stage as soon as possible."

"Confirm the evidence against Ouyang Jing."

"While waiting for an opportunity to exploit a weakness in his ultimate goal, I don't believe Li Dakang can truly remain calm in the face of his wife being prosecuted."

Hou Liangping said coldly.

"Well done! What a fine Hou Liangping! What a fine anti-corruption bureau chief! What a fine son-in-law of the Zhong family!"

Li Dakang said "good" four times in a row, his chest heaving, he was really angry.

"Secretary Dakang, take care of yourself."

Lü Liang put the recorder away and advised, "If you do this, Ms. Ouyang and Jiajia will both be worried."

"I want him dead!"

Li Dakang closed his eyes and exhaled a deep breath, but when those dead fish eyes opened again, they were bloodshot and even more terrifying.

Wild monkeys, just wild monkeys!

A monkey dressed in a crown is still an unruly wild monkey. He talks about rules, but he doesn't understand them at all. He talks about benevolence and morality, but he is actually just calculating for his own benefit.

Instead of investigating the person right in front of him, they deliberately spread the fire to him.

Ha ha!

Li Dakang's lips were stuck together, yet he managed a cruel smile.

"Then let's start by sacrificing a former provincial association chairman."

Li Dakang said coldly, "Are Governor Qiu and Director Qi ready?"

"All that's left is the fuse."

Lü Liang nodded.

"Then let's do it!"

Li Dakang made up his mind.

"it is good."

Lü Liang stood up. "Secretary Dakang, I'll head back now. I can't stay out too long."

"Hard."

Li Dakang stood up to see him off, saying, "I swear on my integrity that I will not treat you unfairly after this is over."

"Secretary Dakang..."

As if struck by a sudden thought, Lü Liang said, "Ji Changming might not be able to stand that monkey and wants to leave work early."

"We need to speed things up."

The office door had just closed.

Li Dakang returned to his seat, dialed a number, and it rang about ten times before being answered.

"Dakang, what's up?"

Zhao Lichun's voice betrayed his weariness, yet it was still full of energy.

"My former boss, I need your help."

"They've got their eyes on Ouyang."

Li Dakang involuntarily straightened his body and said respectfully.

"What should we do?"

Zhao Lichun did not hesitate at all.

"I would like to ask you to exert pressure to temporarily detain Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Li Dakang said, "I can do the rest myself."

Haha!

Zhao Lichun's hearty laughter rang out, "That Xiao Tian from Lincheng back then? He arrested Xinjian and repeatedly acted as a spearhead. I've managed to hold him off for now."

"Take revenge."

"No one can say anything."

"Dakang, just go ahead and do it!"
