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

"Secretary Qin, a car is chasing us."

The disciplinary inspection team member glanced in the rearview mirror and quickly reported to the leader.

Qin Zhuofeng frowned, a chill running down his spine:

Why are they chasing after the provincial special investigation team's car?

Qin Zhuofeng dialed a number, "Captain Xie..."

Needless to say.

The answer came through on the other end of the phone: "Chen Guohua and Zhang Xueyang were in the other car."

What!

This answer is even more astonishing than Chen Jia's risky actions.

"I see."

Qin Zhuofeng hung up the phone and instructed his colleague who was driving, "Park the car safely on the side of the road."

The parking spot wasn't great; it was in the suburbs, in a deserted area.

Qin Zhuofeng waited at the car door.

Another black sedan stopped behind them, and Zhang Xueyang helped the frail Chen Guohua out step by step. It was clear that the express car ride had put a great strain on the man's already frail body.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong...?"

Qin Zhuofeng took the initiative to step forward, his pace neither fast nor slow, making it impossible to fathom the other party's thoughts.

"Comrade Zhuofeng, I've come to turn myself in and confess my crimes."

Chen Guohua got straight to the point, his wrists covered in countless needle marks. He had seen these marks on one other person before: Lin Manjiang, the former chairman of Zhongfu Group.

It's true that Heaven sees all the evil deeds people commit, and retribution is inevitable.

Qin Zhuofeng's mind raced, and he quickly understood the other party's intention: to use him to suppress them so that the Chen family members could take further action.

"stop!"

Qin Zhuofeng immediately raised his hand to interrupt, "Uncle Chen, I have no authority to investigate you at your level. If you need to turn yourself in, please send the relevant information to the higher-level discipline inspection commission."

"Thanks!"

Qin Zhuofeng turned and left.

Since you've seen through their plan, why continue to follow their lead?

That would be asking for trouble.

"Comrade Zhuofeng! Comrade Zhuofeng!"

Chen Guohua's expression changed, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes. How could the other party not accept the challenge?

Even if the other party's level is not high enough.

They can take him back to the provincial discipline inspection commission and detain him, waiting for someone from the higher-level discipline inspection commission to come down.

The disciplinary inspection team's car sped away.

Only an old man and a middle-aged man were left standing there, disheveled in the wind. Zhang Xueyang didn't even have time to say a word.

"Arrest them!"

The commotion was clearly relayed back by the municipal police officers responsible for protection, and Hou Liangping, Li Weimin, and Xie Huai'an all saw it clearly.

Hou Liangping received a series of stamped electronic investigation orders on his phone, coldly uttering a single word.

"Who should we arrest?"

Li Weimin couldn't follow the other person's train of thought and asked in confusion.

"Arrest everyone in the Chen family."

Xie Huai'an pointed to the list of overseas accounts and overseas fund transactions that had fallen out, which were secretly controlled by Xunjin Group and Xiyangchuan Group. The years involved far exceeded those of Hanyuan Group.

The latter, in particular, was like the vanguard of the Chen family, taking the lead in building an overseas financial system controlled by the Chen family. Unlike the other two families, which only provided living expenses to their good-for-nothing third-generation descendants, the funds under the Western Ship's name covered all the expenses of the Chen family in the very early stages.

And as long as this expense exists.

The Chen family members who received the fund transaction records were guilty of crimes including foreign exchange evasion, tax evasion, and illegal business operations, which the Economic Crime Investigation Division was able to arrest.

"Captain Xie, based on the numerous overseas accounts provided by Zhou Shifang and An Lai, how long will it take to identify the overseas accounts under the core control of the Chen family by comparing account information characteristics?"

Hou Liangping asked again.

"Um?"

Xie Huai'an pondered for a moment, "It will probably take about a month to fully compare and confirm."

"Too slow!"

A hint of restlessness flickered between Hou Liangping's brows. "Why not just grab the second generation of the Chen family and extract information from them?"

"We can't lose the money!"

The last four words surprised Xie Huai'an.

The director said that this monkey was just a simpleton, yet he was concerned about the return of the economy.

But that's not enough...

"Director Hou, have you considered the consequences for Chuzhou if you wipe out the Chen family and everyone in their system at once?"

"That's something the provincial party committee and government can't accept."

Xie Huai'an eventually softened and offered a word of advice.

"Captain Xie, although I don't understand economics, I'm not an idiot. I read books on the subject from time to time."

Hou Liangping stood up straight, his face showing his usual arrogance and conceit. "Currently, Chuzhou's four major economic pillars are electronic information (mainly digital product assembly), chemical and salt chemical new materials, food industry, and special steel industry. But I'm sorry, the Chen family hasn't touched any of these four."

"They are more interested in industries with huge profits, such as real estate, earthwork, urban construction, liquor sales, pharmaceutical raw materials, and online gambling platforms. So taking action against them will not only have no major impact, but will also be a positive cleanup of the economic landscape of Chuzhou."

"sometimes."

"Human choices are strange; you may think you've made a profit, but it doesn't actually matter to the overall market."

Hou Liangping's voice was cold and arrogant, but Xie Huai'an and Li Weimin both shuddered. Good heavens, this guy really had something up his sleeve.

"Director Li, please go and arrest him."

Hou Liangping added, "I'm going to see my comrades in Chuzhou."

"etc!"

Xie Huai'an hurriedly called out, "Director Hou, have Director Li send some people to go with you."

"The Chen family will not sit idly by and wait for their doom."

"The same applies to the Lin family and the Yao family."

Hou Liangping thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

That makes perfect sense!

His life is extremely precious.

Seeing Hou Liangping's stubbornness, Xie Huai'an and Li Weimin exchanged a glance and sighed deeply.

"I'll call Director Qi."

"Reporting on my work."

Provincial Government, Executive Deputy Office.

"Executive Director Lin, this is roughly the situation in Chuzhou right now."

Qi Tongwei reported to the leadership.

Lin Zhiyuan nodded after listening to the report. It wasn't just Qi Tongwei; Tian Guofu and Ji Changming were also there today.

Correct!

After the investigation, Ji Changming was found to have no major problems, received a disciplinary action, and was released to resume his work.

Otherwise, given Lü Liang's authority, he wouldn't have been able to approve so many investigation orders for that rascal.

"Hello, Minister Chunlin!"

In front of the three people, Lin Zhiyuan dialed Wu Chunlin's number.

"Executive Director Lin!"

The clever kid on the other end immediately understood; the proper way to address it was that there were outsiders present.

"The case in Chuzhou is nearing its end."

"Can the organization department fill the vacant cadre positions?"

Lin Zhiyuan asked.

"Don't worry, Executive Director Lin."

Wu Chunlin's voice came through the microphone clearly: "I had a friendly consultation with President Chen Huaizhong of the University of Political Science and Law, and we reached a comprehensive plan to introduce a whole host of outstanding political and legal talents, based on our shared goals."

"I have been in contact with the parties involved in the past few days through Principal Chen. Based on the initial contact, there are about 300 political and legal cadres at all levels who are willing to come to Handong to serve, to contribute to the judicial system in Handong, and to safeguard the rights and interests of the people."

"Please rest assured, Executive Director Lin."

"Please rest assured, the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, and the people of Chuzhou."
