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

Compared to the other companies, Lu Wucheng was not even in the same league.

A safe 20 million is better than anything else.

"President Lu is a man of few words."

I'll toast you.

Chen Qunshan raised his wine glass and clinked it with Lu Wucheng's. "President Lu, please give my regards to Director Lu."

"Definitely! Definitely!"

Lu Wucheng had a big smile on his face.

The other three exchanged a subtle glance, their expressions changing slightly.

The title "Director" is quite interesting.

The top leader can be a director, a secretary or liaison officer, or simply a director. In short, when facing a stranger within the system and not knowing their specific position, calling them "director" is always the right thing to do.

"Young Master Chen, which Director Lu are you referring to when you spoke to President Lu?"

"My shoulders are being pressed down," Mr. Xu cautiously probed.

"Who else could it be but Director Lu of Handong Province?"

Chen Qunshan smiled arrogantly, "Naturally, it's Director Lu Wuwei of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission."

The other three gasped.

This person wields even more power than the provincial public security bureau chief, who is often referred to as a "full-fledged department-level official."

Especially now in Handong, the provincial government faction is dominant.

Who knows, one day when I see him, he'll be Vice Governor Lu.

The initial dissatisfaction with Lu Wucheng sitting at the same table instantly transformed into a friendly smile, because doing real estate business is inseparable from the National Development and Reform Commission.

"I agree to Mr. Gu's and Mr. Chen's proposal."

"I hope Mr. Lu will continue to take care of me in the future."

The three of them raised their glasses.

"Sure, sure!"

Lu Wucheng raised his glass in response.

The guests enjoyed themselves immensely and didn't leave until late at night.

"Uncle Lu, thank you so much this time."

Chen Qunshan looked towards a corner of the hall and saw that Lu Wucheng, who had left first, had returned.

"Not at all."

Lu Wucheng let out a burp, patted Chen Qunshan on the shoulder, and said, "We, the Han Dong family... are all of one mind. Helping you is also helping me."

"Wu Cheng, the 30 million Lighthouse Coins have been transferred to your overseas account."

Gu Beilou, who had been seeing off the guests, came in.

Thank you!

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Wucheng staggered out of the club.

"Boss!"

The secretary, with her long, straight black hair, immediately helped her boss into the car, while she got in from the other side.

"Hangover medicine, it'll make me feel better."

The secretary's gentle words made Lu Wucheng's fingers itch, and his hands began to wander.

"Lao and Zhuang are still alive."

The secretary giggled, "Shall we go home?"

These words acted like a switch, instantly bringing Lu Wucheng's mind, which had been filled with wine and women, back to its senses.

He shoved the secretary aside.

"To the airport! Right now!"

Lu Wucheng said coldly, "Buy the next available flight abroad, anywhere is fine."

"You two come with me."

"Do you have my passport with you?"

The secretary was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this, and quickly replied, "Boss, you always carry your passport with you, so why are we in such a hurry to leave?"

The world has changed!

Lu Wucheng leaned back in the back seat and sighed softly:

"Ever since that Executive Director Lin was parachuted in, my elder brother's position in the provincial government has been declining again and again. It's a miracle if he can even keep his current position, let alone get promoted."

"In that case..."

"How am I supposed to survive in Handong now?"

Lu Wucheng has no real ability; he has always relied on his elder brother's connections to get small projects and help with matchmaking.

The older brother has never dared to touch the bigger ones, nor would he want to drag them down.

But this time the Chen family approached him.

The cake is too big.

He couldn't resist.

They also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the boss was still in power and make as much money as possible.

With the Chen family's 30 million plus his own 20 million accumulated over the years, a total of 50 million Lighthouse Coins is enough for him to live a carefree life overseas for the rest of his days.

Running away is the best option!

"Excuse me, Mr. Lu."

A strange voice suddenly rang out in the car, "You're probably not going to be able to leave."

"You are not Laozi and Zhuangzi!"

Lu Wucheng's face drained of color, his pupils shrank sharply, and he asked in terror, "Who are you?"

"Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei!"

The person in the driver's seat took off his hat, glanced at himself in the rearview mirror, and said, "Lu Wucheng, you deserve to be driven for the sake of me personally taking action."

"You! You!"

Lu Wucheng's chest heaved violently. By now, he could finally understand, "You've been watching me all along? No, your target is my older brother?"

"Your provincial public security bureau has no right to touch my older brother."

"My older brother did nothing; I was the one using his name to swindle and deceive people."

"If you're going to arrest someone, arrest me alone."

Lu Wucheng roared hoarsely.

"Oh!"

Qi Tongwei scoffed, "You're quite the brother, but your elder brother's matter is being handled personally by Director Li of the Supervisory Department."

"Oh, right."

"Friendly reminder: your dear cousin-in-law and niece are already in jail. No one in your Lu family will escape."

These words struck like a thunderbolt.

Lu Wucheng rolled his eyes and fainted, while his secretary huddled in the back corner, trembling.

Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Hou Liangping, who called Zhong Xiaoai last night, is back to his usual energetic self.

Zhong Xiaoai's meaning was clear: don't touch the banking system, but you can check anything else, whether it's surnamed Lu, surnamed Lu, or surnamed Chen, it doesn't matter.

Those involved will be prosecuted for violating the law.

With Empress Dowager Zhong having spoken, what did Marquis Changxin have to fear? He shook off his dejection and returned to his true self.

This morning, the Third Investigation Division, which had been transferred here, was assigned investigation targets and directions one by one. At the same time, strict scrutiny was enforced on interpersonal relationships, and anyone with even the slightest connection to the three organizations was rejected.

Oh, you mean personal relationships?

Marquis Changxin's greatest skill is using acquaintances as pawns to create his own political achievements. Also, is he really that close to Lu Yike and the others?

He had only been in Handong for a few days.

How could the director of the provincial anti-corruption bureau, a deputy director-level outstanding cadre, be involved with criminal suspects?

joke!

These are all resources for his progress.

"Did you find any information?"

Hou Liangping directly transferred three deputy directors from the Third Investigation Division this time, striving to close the case as quickly as possible to avoid being tricked and trapped again.

"Yes, Director Hou."

Two of them exchanged a glance, because their investigations had led them to the same conclusion.

"Lu Wucheng, chairman and general manager of Qingqiao Real Estate, is unmarried and has no children, but he has an older brother who is Lu Wuwei, director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission."

"He used his brother's connections to move among real estate developers and urban construction companies, selling insider information and profiting from it."

"The company's main business is actually undertaking small projects, but the company's shareholders are complicated. They are all small companies holding shares, totaling less than 10%, but the amounts vary from hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan. It's more like a transfer of benefits."

"also."

"In the past two days, he has been in close contact with another investigator, Gu Beilou, chairman of Hanyuan Real Estate."

Another deputy director chimed in, "Tonight, Gu Beilou has also invited several heads of urban construction companies, including Lu Wucheng, to meet at a private club."

"Furthermore, we found that the urban construction company controlled by Hanyuan Real Estate is interested in bidding for the demolition project of the new subway line in the old city."

"The same applies to the urban construction company we invited tonight."
