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

"Enter!"

Zhang Guofeng spoke calmly.

An anti-corruption bureau official quickly pushed open the door and entered, whispered a few words in his ear, left the documents behind, and then withdrew.

"Professor Wu, I'll still call you that for now."

After carefully reviewing the documents, Zhang Guofeng finally met Wu Huifen's seemingly fearless gaze once again.

Wu Huifen's hands, which had been loosely clasped, moved from her legs to her abdomen, and her jawline tightened slightly. She had never seen a prosecutor like this before, calm from beginning to end. Her eyes were like a stagnant pool, into which even a fallen leaf would be submerged.

"Lin Zhengxin, the suspect in the car accident attack on Governor Qiu Tianhen, also known as Teacher Lin, has just revealed a crucial piece of information."

Zhang Guofeng speaks very slowly, almost word by word, like an old machine, making listeners feel uncomfortable and depressed from the inside out.

"This is in serious contradiction to your insistence that you 'never interfered in Secretary Gao's work as his spouse.' Lin Zhengxin said that when you met with him, you often boasted about your role as a secretary in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission or even the Organization Department, which made him even more convinced that you had a huge influence on Secretary Gao."

Is this true?

Upon hearing the question, Wu Huifen's face darkened for a moment, but then turned into a relaxed smile. "That's true, but it's both right and wrong. I did often say these things because I had just gotten divorced and was filled with anxiety. I needed to fill the void in my heart with this so-called information, but there was absolutely no inside information from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission or the organization."

"What you said..."

"All of these are my personal speculations and conclusions, based on my position as a professor of Ming Dynasty history and the currently available information from the provincial Party committee and government."

Wu Huifen relaxed again. "I mainly studied and taught the history of the Ming Dynasty, but back then, in order to pursue Gao Yuliang, I studied political science and law for a long time on my own. Even after I got married, and even now, I am still studying it. So even if the information I deduce is not very accurate, it is still reasonable and well-founded in the ears of professionals like Teacher Xiaolin. At most, they will think that there was a policy change in the middle, and they are more likely to believe my words than ordinary people."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Teacher Lin about the information I supposedly revealed and compare it with the information actually released and implemented by the Political and Legal Affairs Commission at the corresponding time."

Wu Huifen seemed confident and unafraid of the provincial procuratorate's investigation.

"There's no need for that."

As expected, Zhang Guofeng shook his head.

"Professor Wu, do you remember six years ago? That was the year Secretary Gao was transferred from Secretary of the Lüzhou Municipal Party Committee to Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission."

Zhang Guofeng looked directly at him.

The oppressive atmosphere intensified.

"Of course I remember."

"That's the year we got divorced."

Wu Huifen felt intense discomfort. She appeared calm and composed, but her emotions were completely under the other party's control. With each tightening and loosening of her muscles, the pressure she felt was actually greater.

However, it is precisely at times like these that we must remain calm.

"Do you remember the third message you gave Lin Zhengxin?"

Zhang Guofeng pressed on relentlessly.

third?

Wu Huifen frowned. So many years have passed and she can remember that she has always been careful with her words and actions, but who would bother to remember what the first or last message was?

I pondered for a long time.

I can't remember a single thing.

Wu Huifen shook her head. "I'm sorry, Chief Prosecutor Zhang. It's been too long, I really don't remember."

"It seems Professor Wu wasn't always so cautious."

Zhang Guofeng chuckled and said, "Then let me remind you, that message is called 'Internal tacit approval practice of circumventing asset verification in divorce property division.'"

"I don't need to explain the specific legal interpretation. After all, your divorce from Secretary Gao Yuliang is also closely related to this regulation."

"But this information is only available within the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Even though it is still confidential, it is very different from the information released to the public, so it is absolutely impossible to deduce it."

Wu Huifen's face changed completely, and her hands clenched tightly together.

"So you found out?"

Wu Huifen suddenly looked up and asked.

"Do you mean the information about your daughter's overseas assets?"

Zhang Guofeng nodded. "The Provincial Procuratorate, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the Provincial Department of Economic Investigation have been investigating, or rather, they have been investigating ever since the outbreak of the collective corruption involving the Lin and Yao families. Based on the overseas information and fund connections of the two families, we have found some accounts whose ownership cannot be determined."

"Just now, after Lin Zhengxin said this news..."

"We conducted another check and finally confirmed that one of the accounts belongs to you, or to your daughter, or to your daughter's overseas husband."

"And the source of the funds..."

"It was the Lin and Yao families, including Lin's son-in-law Dong Qing."

"Professor Wu Huifen, you are the one who stands behind the Lin and Yao families, the one who truly helped the Chen family build a complete system of corruption, and the one who helped Dong Qing circumvent legal risks and recover funds on the basis of a general P2P platform."

Or to put it more bluntly.

"You are one of the masterminds behind the rapid growth of P2P platform companies in Handong. Dong Qing's Linzhong Technology and Qingyuan Company are just a small part of it."

"If it weren't for matters between men and women."

"No one can find any trace of Professor Mingxue, who is ostensibly the wife of the deputy secretary. Everyone will overlook your long-term studies, and even less will they investigate the rich legal background you have cultivated since childhood with your long-lost parents and family."

"No need to deny it."

"This is your testimony, which you just gave yourself to avoid interfering with the confidential information of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission."

Ah!

Wu Huifen chuckled inexplicably, then completely relaxed her tense body and leaned back in the interrogation chair. "You guys are something else!"

"But I didn't lose to you."

"I lost because of my own carelessness, and I lost to the insatiable greed of those vermin."

boom!

Zhang Guofeng slammed his hand on the table, his voice as deep as a muffled thunderclap. "Why did you target Governor Qiu?"

"I said it, because of the insatiable greed of bedbugs."

Wu Huifen replied, "They could have made hundreds of billions or even trillions in business, but those short-sighted guys were unwilling to put up any money upfront and insisted on making a pittance from small online loans. As a result, my whole plan was ruined by Qiu Tianhen's small debt collection team."

"A complete bunch of idiots!"

Wu Huifen cursed under her breath, her hair disheveled, looking like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell.

"As for taking action against a vice-governor, I don't want to. But someone doesn't want him to live..."

"If he doesn't die, my daughter and I will!"

"After all, you said it yourself, I'm just a legal moat, and I can't control anything else."

"if…"

Wu Huifen gave a chilling smile. "If you're not afraid of becoming the next Qiu Tianhen, then feel free to continue investigating, hahaha!"

"What are you so smug about!"

Zhang Guofeng coldly rebuked, "Before interrogating you, Secretary Lin, also known as Executive Director Lin, personally called me to give me work instructions: investigate the P2P platform company and its mastermind to the end."

"Wu Huifen, you're finished."
