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

"You can leave now."

A policeman opened the interrogation room and spoke to the four men who were squatting inside but being held separately.

Chen Hai hung his head, feeling utterly humiliated.

Because of their godbrother Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary, no one made things difficult for them. However, after sobering up, whenever they thought about the charges against them, they felt like dying.

Five days!

Five whole days!

He even watched the New Year's Eve gala on TV while squatting inside; he was a little afraid to go home and face his mother and son.

"What's this?"

Lu Yike patted the other person's shoulder nonchalantly. Embarrassment... Heh, not a chance. In the events of Yao Xinyi's arrest, Lu Wufeng's immediate discharge from the army, and her own detention for investigation, she had already lost all the face she valued most.

Even during these five days.

Lu Wufeng didn't even bother to come and see her.

She no longer has any family; now all that's left is her father, who harbors hatred towards her, and her two older sisters who are divorced and raising their children alone.

Lin Huahua and Chen Qunfang followed silently behind like two quails, except that the former's eyes were even more swollen.

While she was inside, she received a breakup message from Zhou Zheng:

He stated that he could accept her family background because it was not something she could choose, but he could not accept a girlfriend with a messy private life.

The reasons seem plausible.

But Lin Huahua sensed from Zhou Zheng's words a sense of relief and relief, as if he had finally gotten rid of a burden.

"Are we still going to do what we discussed?"

So when Lu Yike brought up the "revenge on Hou Liangping" plan again, Lin Huahua immediately raised her hand and agreed without hesitation, "Sister Yike, I want to add one more person, Zhou Zheng."

"That scumbag, before I got into trouble, I chased after him relentlessly and tried to please him in every way. If it weren't for my uncle's help in getting him into the First Investigation Division and having Sister Yike share the credit with him, how could he have risen so quickly?"

"You think you can just kick me aside like that? No way."

Lin Huahua said bitterly.

The sweeter their love was back then, the greater their resentment is now.

Lu Yike frowned slightly, and instead of immediately agreeing, she looked at Chen Hai. The Yao, Lin and Lu families had suffered heavy losses and were almost wiped out. It would be extremely unwise to spare energy to deal with Zhou Zheng now. However, she also knew that she couldn't reason with Lin Huahua who was in a fit of anger.

Therefore, Chen Hai's joining is becoming increasingly important.

Why did Chen Yanshi transfer from his powerful position as deputy mayor and public security bureau chief of Jingzhou to executive deputy chief prosecutor of the provincial procuratorate? It was to pave the way for Chen Hai. Now, the connections Chen Yanshi has made have surpassed those of the three of them.

"good!"

Chen Hai lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a low sound from his throat, like a wild beast.

With his father, who was dismissed from his post, and his grandfather, Chen Yanshi, who was labeled a reactionary, Little Piqiu was destined for a hopeless future, and the remaining connections he had were useless.

Why not give it a shot!

As for whether those people will listen to us or not, haha, do they really think they've been the anti-corruption bureau chief for nothing all these years?

If you don't agree, then we'll die together.

I pushed open the door to my home.

A strong smell of barbecue mixed with the stench of rotting food filled the house. The place had been forcibly taken away a couple of days ago, and the tableware on the table hadn't even been cleaned up yet.

As for my mother, Wang Fuzhen…

She's too old to take care of her mischievous grandson, let alone have time to come and tidy him up.

"I'm going to make a call. Could you guys help me tidy up the house?"

Chen Hai touched his stubble-covered face, smelling the stench of barbecue, alcohol, and sweat emanating from his body, which was unbearable even in the twelfth lunar month.

These days are absolutely terrible.

He saw no hope or opportunity whatsoever. He was forty-two, no longer the young man with boundless courage who could rise again and fight on.

Take revenge! Take revenge!

A strange feeling welled up in Chen Hai's heart. He knew very well that the chances of his group succeeding in taking revenge were extremely slim, but he still agreed to Lu Yike's absurd suggestion.

Because failure is also a good thing.

Once you're completely inside, you might actually feel liberated. A strong sense of self-destruction surges forth, like a dam bursting open, unstoppable.

As for my mother and little ball, my sister Chen Yang should take care of them, right?

The eldest brother, Chen Shan, dared not even think about it.

Chen Shan resented his parents for favoring him as their youngest son since he was a child. After leaving school, he resolutely joined the army, but was dragged down and discharged on the spot. He hated it to death.

"Old Zhou, it's me, Chen Hai..."

Chen Hai dialed a series of numbers that did not exist in the phone book.

"Oh, Director Chen, this is a difficult situation for me... Hmm? Well, it's possible, it's possible! You can definitely do what you ask, don't worry! Okay! Okay!"

"I'll let you know as soon as I get the news. Okay! I promise I won't tell anyone, but this is just this once! It's all settled, okay!"

Zhou Minghan, deputy director of the provincial anti-corruption bureau, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hung up the phone, and looked up nervously at Zhang Guofeng, the chief prosecutor, Lü Liang, the deputy chief prosecutor, and Huang Hao, the head of the discipline inspection team, who were sitting on the sofa next to him.

Just as Zhou Minghan was about to explain something, Lü Liang raised his hand and pressed him down.

Just in time.

A second cell phone rang in the office, and another cadre quickly answered the call under three death stares.

The bell rang repeatedly, exactly seven times! This corresponded perfectly to the seven provincial procuratorate officials whose legs were trembling at that very moment.

There were representatives from the Anti-Corruption Bureau and other departments of the Procuratorate.

These were all connections that Chen Yanshi and his son Chen Hai had built up over decades. Chen Yanshi provided them with a ladder, while Chen Hai used his position as the head of the anti-corruption bureau to seize evidence of their illegal and disciplinary violations.

They remain hidden in ordinary times, but will unleash their full power when faced with dire circumstances.

After the incident involving the Chen family father and son.

They hid.

But Lü Liang and Huang Hao were also from that era, and by following the clues, they investigated thoroughly. With Zhang Guofeng's keen eyes and Liang Qunfeng's guidance, none of them escaped.

"What are Chen Hai and his gang planning to do?"

Lü Liang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the report concerns Hou Liangping, what if this group becomes unruly and harms Executive Director Lin? He is like a second parent to Lü Liang.

Absolutely not!

"Chen Hai asked me to re-examine Cai Chenggong's case file, as he suspected that the two had colluded for personal gain."

The seven men exchanged glances, and it was Zhou Minghan, who had the highest rank and had received the call first, who reported, "Chen Hai said that the relationship between the two is unreasonable. Cai Chenggong is wanted nationwide, but he doesn't look for anyone else but instead goes to a childhood friend he doesn't usually contact. Moreover, after Hou Liangping arrived in Handong, he vowed to investigate the case based on the clues provided by Cai Chenggong."

"Most importantly, the clues Cai Chenggong revealed involved members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, City Bank, Shanshui Group, Oil and Gas Group, and Ding Yizhen. The latter three were investigated and dealt with before, so it's okay. As for the other two, whichever family is innocent will be relentlessly pursued."

"He's still a newly arrived anti-corruption bureau chief."

"Chen Hai suggested that Cai Chenggong might be using Hou Liangping's alleged acceptance of bribes as leverage to force an investigation."

"Let's gather the relevant clues and hand them over to him."
